Please bear with me while I set out the history of my problem.

Above is the result of a scan by the Microsoft Validation Tool.

In March I bought a brand new computer (Intel Quad Core processor, 4MB RAM)

but without an operating system so I separately bought Windows Home Premium

64 bit and installed it.

After about a month I started getting a message about Windows not being

genuine and Control Panel showed that my copy of Windows had not been

activated. In Services, Software Licensing (although set to Automatic) had

Stopped and I was therefore unable to validate Windows. When I tried to Start

it I received an error message :

'Windows could not start the Sotware Licensing service on Local Computer.

Error 3: the system cannot find the path specified'

At this time I lost various functionality including

Direct access to Control Panel

System Restore ceased to operate

The Print Spooler in Services stopped and could not be restarted, preventing

me from printing anything.

After speaking by telephone to the technical experts at Microsoft and trying

out countless things, none of which worked, I eventually decided to do a

re-install of Vista and start afresh.

As soon as Vista was installed and after making it safe to do so I went on

the net and activated and then validated my copy of Windows. Both of these

actions were successful. But , beginning two days ago, I have got the exact

same problems - can't activate, can't validate, Software Licensing has

stopped in Services, loss of functionality etc!!

I have previously posted my problem in the Vista Validation Issues forum at

http://forums.microsoft.com/genuine/ShowPost.aspx?postid=3444571&isthread=true&siteid=25&authhash=0ff9972a94da1d6a039a75a993117421e145a9b9&ticks=633481892830296605

I got a reply from Darin Smith the WGA Forum Manager but none of his replies

worked and according to him this means that my problem is larger then just a

Software Licensing issue in which case he suggested that I post here.

Another clean install would solve the problem - but only for 30 days, so . .

..does anyone have any ideas how to sort this out???????

Thanks for your time.

PS I know that the result of the WGA Validation Tool shows that my copy of

Windows is genuine but I have just a few seconds ago tried to validate it

again but with the same result - it failed!
