Please also state the Version and Edition of Windows quoted on your COA sticker (if you have one) on the case of your machine (or inside the battery compartment), but do NOT quote the Key on the sticker!

Ignore errors produced when clicking on the Copy button - they simply mean that the tool could not create the backup files for some reason. The data is still copied to the clipboard for pasting to your response.

However I did not experience the loss of chinese start-menu fonts. So I took a snap-shot of my work-machines list of 'sucessful' updates, and I plan on comparing them to my laptop. One of the major differences is this: Work machine had to update: Vs2010/2012 4.5 framework, Win 7 Prof, and Office 2010. as opposed to my laptops older... Office 2007 and I didn't see any framework updates as I recall - this machine also has Windows 7 prof 64.

(edit the above text... forgot it is my laptop that has the issue which was rebuilt with Windows 7 professional 64, the Item in the battery compartment says its supposed to be Vista 32 bit.)

There are many shared processes between updates and activation/validation, and the tool checks out a number of files and registry entries that are common to both - and also gives indications of other problems.

LOL!

Been there - done that :)

Glad you seem to be sorted now - good luck
