    Hi! I found your forum while trying to find a fix for why my version of Windows 7 was suddenly not genuine after having this computer for 8 months.

    I bought the computer from TigerDirect in January 2012. It is a CyberPower Inc computer running Windows 7 home premium 64 bit edition. On Sunday, my roommate turned the computer on to have the validation error message. At the same time, Windows has 4 critical security updates it is trying to make but keeps failing on - 3 are security updates (KB2705219, KB2712808, and KB2731847) and one for IE9 for windows 7 64 bit systems (KB2722913). Every time we turn the computer off and on, it tries to make these updates and fails.

    I ran malwarebytes to be sure I don't have malware causing the problem. I tried to do a system restore, but the system fails every time it tries. There was a thread that suggested trying rsop.msc, but my computer doesn't have that available. another suggestion looked at the registry editor users/1-5-20 (something like that), but that didn't work either. I saw a third suggestion on deleting a certain update, but can't find that one now that I restarted my system.

    I ran the MGADaig.exe tool and got the results below. One interesting thing I noted is that when the tool ran, the product key listed agreed with the product key on the service tag on the side of the computer; however, when I go to control panel/system security/system and look at the key listed there, it doesn't agree. The system will not let me change the key to match the service tag.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    also, I tried this solution found here: Windows 7 all of a sudden saying it's not genuine.

    but this did not work. When I tried to re-enter my key, I get error code 0x80070426: the service has not been started.

    Hi,

    Have you tried this suggestion from Noel:

    hi, thank you!

    Yes, I did try that, but when I got to step 10, it still would not validate.

    Interesting - I suspect that you have more than one problem going on.
    Let's see what service is being talked about
    Please open an Elevated Command Prompt, and run the following commands.

    SC QC SPPSVC
    SC QC SPPUINOTIFY
    SC QC WUAUSERV
    SC QC BITS
    SC QC TRUSTEDINSTALLER
    NET START SPPSVC
    NET START SPPUINOTIFY

    copy and paste the results to your reply

    Here are some instructions to make life easier :)
    1) To open an Elevated Command Prompt Window (the CP window), click on Start, All Programs, Accessories – then right-click on Command Prompt, and select Run as Administrator. Accept the UAC prompt.
    2) To run the commands easier, highlight the block of commands, and right-click on the highlight – select Copy. In the CP Windows, click on the black/white icon at top left – select Paste. The commands will run but may not complete the last command, so hit the Enter Key once.
    3) To copy the results... click on the Black/White icon in the top left, and select Edit... 'Select All', and hit the Enter key - then use Ctrl+V or r-click+Paste to paste it into your response.

    Odd - That's all normal, and I don't know of any other services likely to be involved at that point.

    What happens if you run

    SLMGR.VBS /DLV
    CSCRIPT SLMGR.VBS /DLV
    WSCRIPT SLMGR.VBS /DLV

    (you should get a popup window from the first and third commands, and results in the Command prompt windows from the second)


    perhaps the scripting host has a problem?

    Please download Rkill

    http://download.bleepingcomputer.com/grinler/rkill.com

    • Double-click on the Rkill desktop icon to run the tool.
    • If using Vista, right-click on it and Run As Administrator.
    • A black DOS box will briefly flash and then disappear. This is normal and indicates the tool ran successfully.

    The only relevant service that may be invovled that I can find is the Event Log service....

    please run
    SC QC EVENTLOG
    NET START EVENTLOG

    and post the results.

    another interesting I noticed is that when I ran the original tool at the beginning, I saw that the last 3 sets of the product key were shown and matched what is on the service tag of my machine. However, when I go into Control Panel\System & Security\System, the product key does not match there, and I cannot change it to make it match.

    I'm hoping we can fix this without doing a total re-install of Windows, as I really, really don't want to have to do that--it will take days for me to re-install everything!

    Thanks for all the help!
