    Hi

    I know that in MS doesn't technically support running under Parallels, however I have seen instances where Parallels users have been able to seek assistance in this forum.

    I have a Mac running Parallels 5. I have a genuine copy of Vista purchased and installed when I bought my mac about 18 months ago. It was validated and never been a problem. I have not installed it anywhere else, and have never let the disks out of the cupboard so anyone else could do an install.

    Today I booted up and Vista now says I'm failing genuine validation. I have downloaded the diagnostic tool referenced elsewhere in this forum. The tool reports that my validation status is 'Invalid Licence'.

    The only thing I know I changed today was to turn off the fancy Windows Vista graphics effects after reading that this can improve Vista speed under Parallels. I am pasting below the Diagostic Tool's output in the hope someone can point me in the right direction to solve this problem.

    I'm wondering how a configuration change like the one above could trigger this problem. I do normally install updates as they arrive, but have not done so for several days. I have restarted Vista since the last time I installed updates. The only software I have installed in recent weeks is Acrobat Reader latest version (yesterday)

    Thanks...David

    Hello davideedle, Users MedalsUsers MedalsUsers MedalsUsers MedalsUsers Medals

     Your Diagnostic Report is telling me that you Vista is suffering from a Trusted Store Tamper.  There are files, in Windows, that have what is known as a Digital Signature. A Digital Signature is an industry standard that ensures that a file is, in fact, from the specified source

    Example: lets say you get a Printer Driver that is Digitally Signed from HP. Since the Digital Signature was created by a Trusted Source a Certificate is created within Window's Trusted Store. The Digital Signature is dependent on the file's Hash (think fingerprint) so if the file is changed in any way it's Digital Signature then becomes invalid.  So lets say that the HP Driver got modified by some sort of Malware. The File's Hash would no longer match the hash listed in the Digitally Signature (or the Signature may not even be readable at that point). The Digital Signature become invalid because windows now don't know what has been done to that file, so the file can no longer be trusted. This in turn invalidates the corresponding Certificate within the Trusted Store.

      What I have described in the above example is basically what is happening with your Vista.  Some Digitally Signed file has been modified in some way (replaced, rewritten or just become corrupt) and the Certificate within Windows's Trusted Store has become invalid (i.e. no longer trusted) and that is what has triggered the Non-Genuine messaging.

      Unfortunatly, none of my tools are able to pinpoint which file/signature/certificate is causing the problem. However there are a few thing you can try that may correct the issue.


      1) First off not all Digitally Signed files are Drivers, but from experience we have found that this issue seems to occure the most with Drivers.  So my first suggestion is to confirm that all your hardware drivers are up to date. Note: Figuring out id a Driver is up to date and/or replacing a driver with a more current one can sometimes take semi-advanced computer knowledge and me explaining the process is outside the scope of this forum. If you do not know how to work with Drivers seak assistance or skip down to #2 or #3 below

      2) Restore Windows back to a past System Restore Point.

    1) Reboot Vista into Safe Mode
    2) Click the ‘Start’ button
    3) In the Start Search field, type: System Restore and hit “Enter” keyboard key
    4) Select "Choose Different Restore Point", Put a check in the box that says "Show restore points older than 5 days", select the restore point that corresponds to a date Before you first noticed the issue.
    5) Click the "Next" button.
    6) Reboot back into Normal mode

      3) Repair Windows using the 'sfc /scannow' command

    The Scan Now will look for any bad Windows files and attempt to repair them, if possible (it isn't always able to)

    1) Login to Vista in Normal Mode (not safe mode)
    2) Launch an Internet Browser
    3) Type: %windir%\system32\ in the browser's address field
    4) Scroll down till you find the file cmd.exe
    5) Right-click the file and select Run as Administrator
    6) In the CMD window, type: sfc /scannow
    7) Reboot twice and see if that resolves the issue.

    If none of my suggestions resolves the issue, then the only other thing I can suggest is to either create a (no cost) support request at http://support.microsoft.com/gp/contactwga or reinstall Vista.

    Thank you,
    Darin MS
