This error message popped up after owning the laptop for over a year. It is definately a genuine version of windows as the laptop was brought new from a well known retailer with a name similar to an indian dish :).

The sticker with the key on it is on the bottom of the computer and all the numbers have worn off - excellent:)

diagnostic report below.

Thanks for your help.

WOn't work, Golden :)
The 80070005 is an Access Denied, error - and results from enemy action!
This looks to me like one of the incarnations of RemoveWAT.

@Ictheus
download and run the following tool - WatFix
Download WAT Fix.zip
(please be careful and click the link on the page, not the buttons!)
once run, reboot, and post another MGADiag report.

You need to change your product key to the one on the COA sticker (found either beneath the laptop or inside the battery compartment), and then actvate the installation by telephone.

Thanks for your help. The coa is on the bottom of the laptop and all the numbers have worn off. I'm guessing there is no other way to find out what the product key is or should be...

Your problem is that for some reason, the system is unable to properly read the SLIC table in the BIOS, which is required to be able to self-activate the OEM_SLP Key with which the computer came installed.
The normal solution is to change the Key to the one on your COA sticker - but you say that you are unable to read the Key there.
In such circumstances, the only things you can do are
1) recreate the Licensing Store - in case it's a minor software problem causing the misread
2) try updating the BIOS to the latest available Vista-compliant one, from the manufacturer's website
3) Contact the manufacturer direct, and see if they can provide assistance to correct the SLIC table
4) a reformat and reinstall using the manufacturer's recovery media
5) purchase a new license for Windows (or a new computer)

Speccy (and any other KeyFinder app) can only find the currently installed Key - which in this case is the failing OEM_SLP Key.
The oly place the COA Key exists (unless it's been installed prior) is on that COA sticker - and inside MS's keys database, where it's not linked to anything personally identifiable, and so cannot be 'retrieved' from there.

I have got the same problem happening on a genuine win7 and started a thread on this yesterday.

My Bios is reading vista - hense why win7 now being rejected as not genuine (up-grade disc came from ACER)

ACER is demanding £139 to fix it!

Microsoft £80 for another win7 disc!

My valid Vista discs won't work due to Acer muck up on win7 install - so cannot go back to Vista.

I am in a right rut - with both companies profiting to 'fix' what should never have needed to be 'fixed'.

All was paid at purchase in good faith - yet I have a laptop that is totally useless unless I pay more to them!

I wonder how many of us are having these problems - it is such bad form by these companies.

I am feeling quite upset and robbed.:mad:

Upgrade disks for Windows 7 are NOT ones which rely on a OEM_SLP Key - they are properly OEM System Builder disks and Keys.
You should have received the proper Key with the original disk,
