Windows 7 "Not Genuine" Compaq Laptop

Question
-
Hi all,
I have a real quick question for ya'll. I'm sure it's been answered a hundred times before but can't find any real answer that fixes the problem. I have a compaq laptop that was working just fine. We restarted the computer and got the 'activation' screen. I tried activating using my key but it said 'invalid'. I cancelled the activation and started looking for fixes. I can no longer get back to the activation. It won't give me the option to activate by phone. The screen gives me only one option and that's "resolve now". I can only go online to a Microsoft website that is not useful at all.
I purchased this laptop with windows 7 on it about two weeks ago. I've had no problems until today. It's a compaq laptop. I have tried the slui.exe 4 trick but like i said it does not provide me with the option to activate by phone. I have included my diagnostics tool log as it seemed essential. Can someone please help me?
Thanks,
Jayson

Hello Ravadac,
TTS Error: T:20100806181116884-
Your Diagnostic Report is telling me that your Windows is suffering from a Trusted Store Tamper. (This type of issue seems to be rare in Windows 7 as I have seen this a few times). In Windows, there are files 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. If a file is modified, in any way, the Diagital Signature is broken.
Example: lets say you get a Printer Driver that is Digitally Signed from HP. Since the Digital Signature was created by a Trusted Source (HP) 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 is broken and 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 Windows 7. 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) Boot into Windows
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
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 Windows
2) Click the Start button
3) Type: cmd.exe in the search field
4) Right-click the cmd.exe file and select Run as Administrator
5) In the CMD window, type: sfc /scannow
6) Reboot 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 Windows.
Thank you,
