This thread deals with my laptop, which has since developed the following symptoms:
system locking up
Internet Explorer crawls and then locks up
reporting that it is no longer an authentic version of windows
Windows Update inoperable, says service not running even though it is
desktop icons are inoperable
right clicking on items is inoperable
trying to uninstall programs in control panel returns errors
etc...

System info is below and any assistance you can give would be appreciated, thanks in advance!

Hello Kennyd53 and welcome to the forums :party:

Where did you obtain your Windows license?

The key that is currently in use is a MSDN key which has very strict usage requirements. Unless you have purchased a MSDN subscription or got the key from an employer or educational institution, your license is counterfeit.

Hello Tom,
Thank you for your quick response.
Yes the Windows 7 license did not come with the laptop and I do happen to have a MSDN subscription. I am a retired IT consultant and have kept my MSDN subscription up to date. I have always used my licenses and have never had any issues like this occur. I do think the problems go beyond the licensing though, there are too many other functions that don't respond and the OS has been installed for 3 or more years now w/o any troubles.
I'm open to any advice you can offer, unfortunately I no longer possess the troubleshooting capabilities I once did.
Thanks​

This may simply be caused by a bad set of Intel Rapid Storage Technology drivers -

Installing the Intel Rapid Storage Drivers
try downloading and installing them from here - http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&ProdId=2101&DwnldID=21730

(you want the iata_enu.exe download)

Once complete, please reboot twice, then post another MGADiag report.

If the above set of drivers don't want to install, try this set...

Hi Kenny,

You know, nine times out of ten the MGADiag logs with MSDN licenses here are from a counterfeit OS, which is been mis-sold on eBay and the likes. I keep running into the few that are actually genuine!

Thanks for the information. I will leave Noel to fix the remaining issues in your log:

Thanks for all you help Tom, I appreciate it.

Hello Noel,
Thanks for taking this on, I appreciate the help.
As you instructed, I downloaded the iata_enu.exe, installed it and rebooted twice.
Here is the new MGADiag report:

The MGA error came up just after I ran the MGADiags

FYI, I was referred here by a tech in the Malwarebytes forum where I originally posted this, you can review what I've already tried and maybe get some insight from that.

Here's the link:

system keeps locking up and says it's no longer Genuine Windows - Malwarebytes Forum

I hope it helps

No need - the usual fix for this problem if the IRST drivers don't do the job is to rebuild the catroot2 folder....


Please run the following commands in an Elevated Command Prompt

NET STOP CRYPTSVC
REN C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CATROOT2 CATROOT2OLD
NET START CRYPTSVC


once complete, leave the system alone for at least an hour to rebuild the database, then reboot, and run another MGADiag report.
Note that this may delete your Update History - but all updates will remain installed, and can be viewed in the Installed Updates listing.

the only difference I noticed is that the "Installation ID" and "HWID Hash" are different.
I made sure to disable my AV as well as Malwarebytes prior to running the commands so as not to interfere.

Still no change - which means that the only known solution is a repair install :(
There is a vague chance that the SFC scan that Golden suggested may work (it has, on occasion) - so it's worth a try.

OK, sorry for the delay and thanks for not closing this thread.

I've been reading a lot of dead end threads on this topic so I enlisted the assistance of an old co-worker and (I even had a few good cognitive days where the old thinker was on the mark...lol) this is what we came up with.....

According to Microsoft, this seems to be a problem with a corrupt "Language Pack", aka .mui files.
They say,

"This issue may occur for several reasons. The most likely reason is that language packs (MUI) have been installed on computers that are running Windows editions that are not licensed for additional language packs. (Note This is not necessarily an indication of tampering. Some applications can install multi-lingual support even when that edition of Windows is not licensed for those language packs.) This issue may also occur if Windows has been modified by malware to allow additional features to be installed. This issue may also occur if certain system files are corrupted."
Regarding Error Code 0x8004FE21 - This computer is not running genuine Windows.

I've attached the "MGADiags" results as well as the "sfc /scannow" results from "safe mode" and neither one come up with any "file mismatch" or "tampered file" messages.

Now I may be having a "senior moment" here however, considering that the problem goes away in "safe mode" (been doing most of my work there because of it...lol) this obviously means there is something loading in "normal mode" that is causing the problem. (possibly the language packs or the corrupt files that have replaced the language pack files.)
So, how do we...
1. replace or repair the corrupted files? Replace them from the Install Disk?
2. remove/uninstall all language packs or at least keep them from loading (I typically don't use any kind of language features)

I also did a search to see where most of the "Tampered Files" reside and it looks like there are various copies and versions of these files throughout the C:\windows directory, see below:

Now this may be a wild guess, but I'm thinking the original files may still be intact and somehow the system is loading the Tampered Files. However, how we determine that is not within my comprehension at the moment...lol

Sooooo, I'm hoping it is within yours...lol
Then again, this just may be another rabbit trail...
Any thoughts?

Stubbornly still here,

NO - this is NOT the 'Vistalizator' problem.

The reason that the problem 'goes away' in Safe Mode is that the TrustedInstaller service cannot run there, and so access is denied to the relevant parts of the OS for the program to do the checking - which is why you get the following error instead,,,,

Licensing Data-->
On a computer running Microsoft Windows non-core edition, run 'slui.exe 0x2a 0x8007043C' to display the error text.
Error: 0x8007043C

The problem lies not with the file system as such, but buried somewhere in the registry.

One thing you could try - I have no idea what the result is likely to be - would be a CheckSUR scan, which checks a part of the registry for errors, and may uncover something of note.


Please download and save the CheckSUR tool from http://support.microsoft.com/kb/947821
(you'll need to look in the details for Windows 7, downloading from the Microsoft Download Center)

Run it - The tool can take anywhere from 5 mins to a couple of hours to run (or 'Install') depending on how much it has to do, and may exit silently - it may appear to freeze for most of that time, but be patient.
The result is logged in the C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CheckSUR.log file - and an archive …\checksur.persist.log file

Then zip the CheckSUR.log and upload it to your SkyDrive Public folder so I can take a look - post a link in your reply.

The kicker of this is, it all came about rather accidentally and unexpectedly.
Let me just mention here, on Tuesday I spent 3 hours on the phone with Microsoft "Tech Support" as well as "MSDN Support" and "Activation Support" (typical MS...lol). I sent them the plethora of requested files, received my case #, and hung up. They had no clue and as yet I am still awaiting a reply.

Now I run ESET "Smart Security" on all my machines and I recently renewed my licenses for another 3 yrs. Just to note, this was well after all the problems started by at least 2 months. So, as my anti-virus was updating I noticed that it had a small "rc" (Release Candidate) after the version number displayed in the header. I thought to myself "Wow, I wonder if this version is full blown yet?", still not making any connection with the present situation. So I proceeded to update it and the update did typically what many updates do and performed an uninstall/re-install of the program. After about 3 freezes and re-attempts it finally installed successfully and lo and behold the first thing to pop up was MS updates and all functionality was returned.

At first, I couldn't believe it! It couldn't be that simple, could it? So I ran the MGADiags (see results above) as well as the "sfc /scannow" command and they both came up clean.

Problem Solved! WooHoo!

I sent an email to ESET and have yet to receive any response, but for my money, the proof is clearly in the pudding...lol

Thanks to one and all for your untiring efforts in helping to resolve this issue, I am grateful to you all.

God Bless!

So you have a Beta version of ESET installed? (rc usually means Release Candidate)

No wonder we couldn't find related data :)

Perhaps the new version introduced a block between the Software Protection Service and the registry, and it's that which raised the non-genuine flag.

Hopefully, this is now permanently resolved - good luck!
