I'll start at the beginning to give yo uan idea of my potential problem(s)
I recently bought a new computer from an independent trader.
When I got it it said I needed to activate windows and I had 28 days to do it.
The guy I bought it from logged on remotely and added a Product key.
So I deccided to install a load of software before I backed up. I did a system restore point just in case...
I think the problem started when I installed office 2010 but can't be sure. I have unistalled since then.
Suddenly I get an error to say my windows is not genuine, with errors 0x80070003 & 0x80070424.
I followed the FIX It forums and If I run a windows diagnostic it comses up with the 0x80070003 error,
If I try to update its the 0x80070424 error
The guy I bought it from logged on remotely to re-activate, but the option to re-activate has disappeared.
We ran various fixes but to no avail. He insists its a genuine activation code, and besides the amount of time he has
spent trying to fix it and re-activate justifies that its genuine or at least the new code should be, If we can re-activate
Anyways, I find myself in the postion of being in some sort of mad loop. My system restore point will not work,
so I can't jump back to the beggining. I can't re-activate windows or even type in a new producct code.
Any ideas?
