Error 0x8004fe22: "Copy of Windows not genuine" - even though it is.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"!!!!!!!!!

I just spent 30 minutes crafting an analysis of the 5 instances of SPPSVC failure - and it got eaten when my internet connection dropped as I sent it!
:banghead: :mad2:

I'm not going to go through it again now, except to briefly say that you had
1 caused by a failure to load a system driver
3 caused by side-by-side errors
1 caused by failure to create a thread
The varied nature of these errors would tend to support either of two causes.
1) malware
or
2) race conditions

On the subject of side-by-side errors, you are getting a large number of them with Adobe Air - are you having problems with that as well?
(do you actually use it at all?)

 

[miladymar]

To be honest, I have no idea what adobe air is. I am sorry you are having issues with your internet. I also have no idea what race conditions are... Sorry but I am
not really great with computers although i do understand quite a bit. Nor am I
familiar with side-by-side errors. I shall look them up because I am sure you are off in dream land now. Thank you again

 

[NoelDP]

If you don't know what Adobe Air is, then the chances are that it's best uninstalled (you can always download it again later if you find you need it)

A 'race condition' occurs when two or more processes compete for the same resource - and they get stuck in a loop until either one times out and quits, or one wins the race. It's partly caused by bad programming (under such circumstances applications should give way to system services), and partly bad luck, and it can be a swine to identify and fix, as merely lookig for the problem can prevent it occurring.

For a new pc am to the point of frustration... I game and write poetry and play my solitaire game... and of course do some minor web searches... Seems like my best option is to format it and reinstall everything... Thank you for your time and help with this problem... Have a great day!

 

[NoelDP]

With it being a relatively fresh install, that may be your best option.

Good luck with it!

I have the same genuine windows error but have a valid version

NoelDP,

You seem to be very knowledgable about this problem. I am also getting "This computer is not running genuine windows" warining with error code "0x8004fe22" yet this is a genuine version purchased new with my PC. I have had no problems until just a few days ago. Here is the MCAD log. It does list one "tampered file" but I do not know what to do about it. Thank you for any help you can give.

Your problem is possibly fairly complex - please start a new thread of your own, and post some more details about what you've already tried to fix this issue.

 

[T1D]

OK. Will be posted shortly.
