Tried what i could but some fixes didn't work or had viruses. Thanks in advance.
 
I think we need additional background info: e.g. a new install? An old install that has been working flawlessly and suddenly started issuing this warning? AN old install, but the motherboard was replaced? A new copy of Windows 7 bought on eBay? A pre-istalled copy supplied with a PC?

 
What happens when you try the phone authentication with the key? Sometimes, if you have an OEM key, and you use the non-oem media, it will fail the auto authentication, but it will authenticate with the key through the phone system.
 
PC was working fine till i got the error message. I did find an error code of 0XC004F07C i have yet to check on this. It did do this one other time in the past. I found a thread online that worked that time. But since has been removed.
 
This machine when i bought it had Windows 7 Professional. It is an HP Pavillion a6620f the sticker on the side said it had windows Vista Home Premium. Bought if from a Computer store.

>when i bought it had Windows 7 Professional
>sticker on the side said it had windows Vista Home Premium

Were you provided with the Certificate of Authority for Windows 7? And product key? (as this error is normally most easily resolved by entering a genuine Windows 7 product key - problem is, if you have been provided with a dodgy key, say a company volume license key, which Microsoft have got around to blocking)

If not, you may find that you do indeed through no fault of your own actually have a dodgy copy ...
 
In fact, given that your PC has a Vista sticker (presumably a Vista OEM COA sticker) but appears to have an OEM version of Windows 7, I'd say this looks more than a little odd.

Anyway, the license key being used is an OEM SLP which means that it actually interrogates the BIOS to ensure that it is legitimate (this allows the big manufacturers - Dell, HP etc - to preinstall and activate Windows without having to enter an activation code at all). Trouble is that your machine is not getting the response it needs from the BIOS, mainly because the BIOS predates (2008) Windows 7 by several years, and thus cannot have the neccessary code to support Windows 7 SLP

The normal solution to this is to enter the actual product key that shipped with the machine using the Change Product Key link on the System properties page- but your sticker is for Vista ...
 
What it shipped with is irrelevant. I have many times upgraded the OS on machines I purchased, of course, I had the COA, and keys for the OS that was installed, and replaced the sticker on the box. So if it was me, I'd contact the store you bought it from, and ask them why it doesn't have a COA for the OS that was installed on the machine at time of purchase, if I got no satisfaction there, I would inform them I would be calling the Microsoft piracy hotline.
 
Request your money back or a valid COA or make waves. This sounds questionable from the get go.
 
>What it shipped with is irrelevant

Not quite true. Whilst what it shipped with is pretty irrelevant as you say, what it is upgraded to is very relevant. This is an OEM SLP version of Windows 7 which clearly could not originally have shipped with this PC, and to which is illegal for a 3rd party to upgrade.

I concur with your conclusion.
 
For those asking if i got a Key code for the Windows 7 Professional i did not. I am contacting the person that sold this to me this evening and tell him what you guys have been saying. Will update when i know. Thanks for all the help guys.
 
I just talked to the person that sold me this PC and he told me that this is caused by a virus that attacks the registery and will cost me $150 to clean out this registry. I don't buy it. Any ideas?
 
It is NOTHING to do with a virus. You are being royally scammed.

I tell you what, since he 'knows' it is a virus, ask which virus it is that turns a copy of Windows 7 full retail (which would have been the only legitimate way of getting Windows 7 onto the machine in question) into Windows 7 OEM SLP



 
That $150 charge is for the goofball to install a licensed version of Windows, not virus cleaning.

Point the vendor to this forum URL to let him know what you know. Tell him to resolve your problem for free ...or else you will be reporting him to Microsoft and the BSA.



Then, after he resolves this licensing issue and gives you a legal system, report him to Microsoft and the BSA. [bigsmile]
 
I'm finally recognizing key info in your first post...
Tried what i could but some fixes didn't work or had viruses. Thanks in advance.

It almost appears that you knew this was a bogus license and tried some of the bogus methods to activate (that include malware).

I'm now questioning my previous empathy.
 
I thought it was a scam too. Just so happens thats what a new license cost. spamjim. I had now idea it was a bogus license. Whatever i tried i looked up on the internet and went by what the said and found out some of the links had Trojans. I take offense to your comment. I had no idea about this. BTW what is the BSA? Thanks for all your help guys. I really appreciate it.:)
 
>i looked up on the internet and went by what the said and found out some of the links had Trojans

Almost certainly because they were in fact links to methods on how to bypass Microsoft's security rather than how to legally address an activation issue (not that your internet search would have flagged the difference), and such links tend to lead to pirate sites infested with all manner of malware.
 
BSA is the Software Alliance created to stop piracy. Most of the larger software companies belong to it, and support it. You can read more about it HERE.
