I hope you understand.

I do now, thank you both. I did not read the disclaimer about the error message when clicking COPY in the MGA tool. I thought I had done something wrong.

Here is the log from the MGA.

Thanks for posting the log.
I don't see a problem with the log.
I will go back to watching and get out of the way.

Here it is. You can ignore the errors about the fontext.dll being corrupt. I had changed an icon resource in it. As I did in the shelldll32 as well. Both of those mods have not caused any issues in 6 years so I'm not sure why they would now.

And I have Windows Update service disabled in the Services control panel. Otherwise the system would sometimes lock up during startup.

Hi Rad,
Thats got to be one of the strangest CBS logs i've seen

1 it appears to be correcting/re-registering most of the major components everytime you start up
2 the activation code on this machine is not the base OEM SLP,
which implies that an activation exploit has been used.

From what i can see that comp never came with Ultimate, installed 2011?

these are probably why its pushing up the usage on that service, (windows activation).

I suggest you use the re install the OS and code shown on the OEM sticker.

Roy

Thank you for your reply. It did come W7 Ultimate installed. But I had to have the hard drive, motherboard and battery replaced all in one shot (along with the bottom chassis). The depot reinstalled W7 for me. That was 2011.

I wonder why the system would be re-registering most of the major components during every startup.
