Here's what I got when I ran genuine validation:


This copy of Windows did not pass genuine validation.

Either an unauthorized change was made to your Windows license or a software program installed on this computer is not currently compatible with Windows Vista.


Recommended Solution

1. Restart the Software Licensing service.
* Click the Start button, click All Programs, click Accessories, right-click Command Prompt, and then choose Run as administrator. The Command Prompt window opens.
* In the Command Prompt window, type the command net start slsvc and then press ENTER.
* When the message "Software Licensing service was started" appears, close Command Prompt window.
* Validate your copy of Windows again by going to http://www.Microsoft.com/genuine and clicking Validate Windows.




When I try this, I got this message from cmd:

C:\Users\Matt>net start slsvc
The Software Licensing service is starting.
The Software Licensing service could not be started.

A system error has occurred.

System error 34 has occurred.

The wrong diskette is in the drive.
Insert *** (Volume Serial Number: ***) into drive ***.


I guess its great to know at least this is not a malware situation.

Any other ideas?
