Periodic "Windows 7 Build 7601 This version of windows is not genuine"

I bought a floor-model of a Toshiba Laptop (from Office Depot-- it's definitely genuine), specs in my info, and the first day I get it, I immediately begin uninstalling bloatware, turning off unnecessary services, and optimizing, as I have done with every one of my laptops.
However, after I finish my tune-ups, I restart the computer, and this message appears in the bottom right corner.

Following the suggestions in other threads, I tried to rebuild the Licensing Store, but after entering slui.exe, I was given a window that said the key that was entered (I assume that's the one that was pre-installed) could not be validated, and that I could enter a new product code. I enter the one on the bottom of the laptop, and it says it's not a valid code. That's what I expected, as this was a floor model, not a full separate Windows license, but what can I do?

Also, slightly separate issues, but when I click "Contact Toshiba for Assistance", the windows troubleshooting window appears, but instantly closes, without displaying anything.
And also, when I start the computer, I often get something along the lines of "....... casdh.dll could not be started."
I don't know what the dll is for, but obviously, something is wrong.

Thanks for your time

Welcome to the Seven Forums, Kagamiseki.

My suggestion is that you revert to the original key that came preinstalled. Then phone up Microsoft and explain the matter that you have stated to them. They shall help you in activating the OS.

To the best of my knowledge this procedure has never failed in getting the OS activated if the Key was genuine.

Thank you, Wanchoo.

Sorry, I don't understand what you mean by "revert".
Also, the key that came preinstalled hasn't been changed. I tried to put in the product key on the bottom, but it said that it could not verify it, and made no changes.

Also, when I got the laptop, as far as I know, it was already activated.

Thanks for the suggestion to call microsoft, I hadn't thought of that.
I'll wait a day, and see if anybody else has a suggestion that might be able to resolve this without contacting microsoft-- if not, I'll try then.

Personally, if I was in your shoes, I'd be hot-footing it back to Office Depot to demand a refund or a genuine copy of Windows.

I'm not quite sure what you mean by a floor model ( I think we would call it a demonstrator) but regardless of what you were sold, it's not fit for purpose so the store should repair, replace or refund.

Even if the key is not genuine and you have bought it with proper receipts and all you should still phone Microsoft and report the matter to them. Microsoft welcome such reports that may net pirates.

I thought that you had changed the key so I said revert. If the original is still there then that was the key that I meant. And if the OS was activated when you purchased it with that key then it was most likely genuine.

My impression is that floor models once sold shall not be taken back but I may be wrong.

Thanks for your time

Your report indicates that you have not yet activated the OEM_SLP Key you are currently using.
As far as I can tell there is no other problem.

However - you mention 'tuneups' - and that worries me, as it covers a multitiude of sins, including the ill-advised use of registry 'cleaners'. If you are using such, stop NOW!.

To activate your system you will need to use telephone activation.

telephone activation (operator
calls)
Click on the Start button
in the Search
box, type
SLUI 4
and hit the Enter key
follow the instructions - but
when asked which service you require by the telephone ansafone, do NOT reply -
this should force an operator to respond, who can deal with you

By "tune-ups", I mean uninstalling bloatware, changing visuals settings, disabling services, defragging, removing unneeded start-up programs, and making a couple registry tweaks, to increase the computer's response speed.

I do use a registry cleaner, but I don't allow it to make any changes-- I take the list it spouts out, and if a key belongs to a program I just uninstalled, I delete it manually.

When I run SLUI 4, I don't get any directions, just this:

Clicking "Contact Toshiba" gives me a very general and unhelpful Help window.

OK - in that case, the Licensing Store may be corrupt.
Recreate the Licensing Store
1) Click Start button.
2) Type: CMD.exe into the 'Search programs and files' field
3) Right-Click on CMD.exe and select Run as Administrator
4) Type: net stop sppsvc (It may ask you if you are sure, select yes)
Note: the Software Protection service may not be running, this is ok.
5) Type: cd %windir%\ServiceProfiles\NetworkService\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\SoftwareProtectionPlatform
6) Type: rename tokens.dat tokens.bar
7) Type: cd %windir%\system32
8) Type: net start sppsvc
9) Type: slui.exe
10) After a couple of seconds Windows Activation dialog will appear. You will be asked to re-activate and/or re-enter your product Key - enter the Key from your sticker, and wait for activation to complete, or a full error message which you should quote in full.

Reboot and Post back with a new MGADiag report

[edit - re-reading yyour report, I see that the Key in use was the OEM_SLP Key, which explains why the activaiton option wasn't available, and if I'd realised it, I would have started with the recreation of the store anyhow!)

Like I said in my opening post, I tried this already.
I did it again though, in case anything changed.

It failed to rename tokens.dat to tokens.bar, because tokens.bar already existed (probably from the first time I did it)
So I manually renamed it to tokens.dat1, and continued, turning sppsvc back on and starting SLUI.exe

There same window from my previous post came up, and I clicked "Enter another key"
After entering the key on the sticker (labelled "Product Key"--there can be no mistake)
I was given an error, shown in this screenshot
91exsn.jpg


In case I had typed it wrong, I tried again, with the same results. MGADiag report is exactly the same as above.

[Edit]
Anticipating a possible later inquiry, I took a screenie of the services I disabled.
I don't remember disabling anything that was essential, but I might have still made a mistake here, or my hand might have slipped as I was going through the list.

In that case, you are almost certainly mis-reading the Key from the sticker - probably swithcing an 8 for a B (or vice-versa). double-check using a magnifier and a bright light.

.... looking at your list of services, it's pretty impressive, but I have to wonder why? Many of them actually do nothing on a default install anyhow - they are just enabled in case they are required. The effect on most systems would be almost negligeable.
In some cases it would be better not to have installed the related software in the first place ;)

Still can't get it to work.

[Edit]
Tried again after restarting, and it worked this time.
Though I can't imagine why-- I've typed this same combination 7-8 times already, and I don't remember changing it even once.

About those services-- the list goes on, with the ones that are on and that I don't dare try to disable. All except for 1-2 of the services there came pre-installed.
There are so many that are unnecessary-- do you happen to know how I could uninstall some of them? I definitely don't need at least 10-15 of them, and won't ever need them. (Biometric Service?? I've only seen one laptop that has that ability!)

And just wondering, did you mean the list I have disabled is impressive? Or did you mean the sheer number of services I have is impressive?

I gather you've managed to get it activated now?
Please post a new MGADiag report so that we can confirm that all is now OK.

Apart from bragging rights. I cna see no real reason for disabling that number of services - if for no other reason that there may come a time when you want to use them for a new piece of software or hardware.

take your exaple of the Biomteric service - this is used by a number of devices (mostly things like figerprint readers, which seem to have peaked a cuple of years ago, and are now in decline since the advent of tablet/slates which is strange since they would be VERY useful!) My older la ptop has one, and it was quite impressive what you could enable it to do.
Some of the services you've disabled I would consider essential - although they could be switched to Manual, rather than their original setting of Automatic(with or without the delayed start)

The only time such tweaks are likely to have a significantly beneficial effect is if the machine is starved of RAM (i.e. less than 1GB) where it would reduce the footprint, and consequently the amount of disk-swapping going on.

Yes, the validation went through.

Disabling the automatic ones seem to give my (rather cheap) laptop a speed boost.
Though I admit, there really isn't any benefit from disabling any Manual services, I just don't like having stuff enabled that I don't use, and don't ever expect to.
I guess it's a bit of a placebo effect for me. Seeing stuff get turned off makes it seem like stuff runs just a little bit faster than before.

I'm curious as to what you could do with the biometric service--only thing I could think of was to use it for fingerprint scanning for security.

Tell me when I should label this thread as solved.

I think it is already solved thanks to Noel. You should now image your C (System Volume) Drive for the future. If you get into trouble again like the present one then you shall be able to restore the image within a few minutes and be back in business.

There's an awful lot you can do with just the fingerprint stuff - such as create macros based on a print which will run a set of programs at need.
Biometrics also covers things such as motion sensors and GPS, (I think!) - but my knowledge is very limited.

As far as your activation/validation problem is concerned, I think we'll be done if you pass validation at www.microsoft.com/genuine/validate - which will offer you MSE and IE9 if successful (you don't have to take them!)

Any good software for doing this? Or just System Restore? (I've never been a fan of System Restore...)


Noel:
I was already offered MSE and IE9 before this problem occured, and I turned them down already. Don't like either of them. Thanks for the help! Restarted, and the "not genuine" message is gone.

Sysrem Restore is not very dependable as you have guessed already.

For imaging I use Acronis Disk Director and TrueImage Boot disk that I like very much but it is shareware. On this Forum many prefer Macrium Reflect Boot Disk which is free. I haven't used it but those who have say that it is about the best third party imaging software.

Some but not many prefer to use the Windows 7 native imaging software but others including myself find it crappy.

So you now make your choice. There is an excellent tutorial on Macrium in the tutorial section of these Forums.
