| 1419538 | 2016-04-25 21:31:00 | Ok, SFC reports back the same as previously but for the first time I note Locked Folders. See screen shots below which may well explain the difficulties SFC is experiencing and why renew Authentication doesn’t work????? 7135 7136 |

| 1419539 | 2016-04-25 21:39:00 | What you can try,is a repair install. 1st step, go to www.microsoft.com Select Windows 7, scroll down the page a little and enter your product key that's on the COA. Not all keys work, it will either confirm its OK and move onto the next page or pop up with an error message something like this: 7137 The product key on the COA should work though. Download the DVD (ISO) its roughly 3 GB, make the DVD.The reason for this is if you already have a Windows 7 DVD and for some reason it wont accept the key, you're in trouble with installing. Then run a repair install: www.sevenforums.com Make sure any data is saved first, or better still make a image of the current drive. You MUST run the repair from within windows, you cant boot from the DVD and run it that way. Theres no guarantee it will fix everything, in fact it may even make it worse. EDITED: you posted the pic's while I was writing: That sometimes is caused by some sort of infection changing permissions. Have a read of windowsforum.com may or may not help. |

| 1419540 | 2016-04-25 22:15:00 | Got the ERROR message exactly as you showed Wainui. :crying I'll read the link you provided and get back. Thankfully, I have a number of back-up's and images to fall back on I hope. Never had to use one, so that could be a whole new experience. My understanding is that it's one thing to have them, but quite another to use them. :) |

| 1419541 | 2016-04-25 22:22:00 | Just a thought -- The user profile may have somehow got corrupted as well. If that's the case you need to create a new Profile and move everything across to it. You can try running THIS HERE (support.microsoft.com) - no idea if it will work or not, or what will happen. Sometimes its a LOT quicker to simply save all your data, wipe the drive and start again with a fresh install, put al your data/Programs back, OR if you have a working Image, drop that back. Re the product Key, in the past if I'm unsure I will throw in a blank HDD, and start the install process, once it gets to the point of entering the product key, assuming it accepts it OK, then I stop, that way you know the DVD you have and product key are compatible. Off to fight computers hi ho hi ho off to work I go -:D |

| 1419542 | 2016-04-25 22:45:00 | Try running this command from the cmd line slmgr /ato its the Microsoft license manger. if you want more info on this cmd, run it without switches. You will need to run the command as a Admin |

| 1419543 | 2016-04-26 04:07:00 | Well, where to start… Ok, Bema’s little test looked simple enough so I started there but got THIS. 7138 However, reading about the command I discovered smlgr /rearm which was what was mentioned in the previous link I posted, so I tried it and got THIS. 7139 Ok, so I followed instructions and lo and behold the message has gone. :clap Well, for now anyway. However, the folders with locks on them still had locks on them. Soooo, I thought I might be on a roll so I’d test the Microsoft FIXiT tool Wainui mentioned. Well, I wouldn’t exactly call it fixing it, but it did shuffle all the icons on the desktop and remove my Administrator rights, but it also removed the locks on the files. :clap I then thought I’d try SFC /scannow again, but no luck, exactly the same. However, I noticed the CBS.log file had grown threefold but when I tried to open it, THIS. 7140 So to summarise: The annoying message has gone. :clap The Locks shown on some folders has gone. SFC still can’t do its job for some reason. :badpc: Now I can’t read the CBS log, not that I could understand it anyway. Confusion Reigns! :confused: |

| 1419544 | 2016-04-26 05:35:00 | Can tell you with a high degree of certainty that by using the rearm command all its done is reset the timer to 30 days, (unless its done some weird skip /step) which means when it runs out again you will get the same message. You can rearm 3 times before it completely locks you out. That's how you get 90 days out of a 30 day trial ;) It doubt it will have fixed the problem, just delayed it, to check what its done, from a cmd prompt ( admin) type in slmgr -xpr when the window pops up it will tell you the state of it. |

| 1419545 | 2016-04-26 06:00:00 | The only way to correct your situation is either a Repair install or start with a clean build retaining nothing as wainui has suggested If you do another SFC/Scannow you will find the same problems and no doubt the non genuine will pop up sooner than 30 Days Either you have a laptop with a OEM licence(windows 7 was new with the laptop) or you have the Windows 7 64bit DVD with the key both ways you are covered If you don't have a disk or have the Windows 7 64 bit you will need it to do either A Repair Install is easy to go through as all your settings and files are retained(there may be the odd setting you may have to change) |

| 1419547 | 2016-04-26 06:07:00 | Damn-- OK. Deleted the contents of this post as it was "if" it showed as activated. When mentioned before about having backup images, how far back are they and what type (program used) Images are meant for times like this where you can drop them back in to before the problem began. |
