Windows Activation Error Code 0x80070422

I have Win7 RC1 Build 7100 Problem is
1)Activation Status and Product Id Status Not Availabe.
2)When I try To Activate Windows From Control Panel
I get An Error Has Occured. In Details Error Code is
0x80070422

I have already tried enabling services required like BITS,windows update and Dcomlaunch.

On Microsoft Site Under Activation Error Code 0x80070422 is not Listed.

I Google Everywhere Please Help Me out :-&

Just to confirm, is this a legitimate copy of W7 RC1? If the system was not modified in any way and it gave you that error it'd be worth notifying Microsoft, they may have some ideas to try as well to rectify the problem.

I know the W7 Beta was tied into Microsoft's Connect service and I reported problems and got help that way, but I am less sure about the RC release.

Actually I got it from p2p networks but i activated it successfully right after installation.
I started getting these errors of non genuine windows some days later and when i tried to activate the windows again above scenario happens..

Have you stopped or modified any services running on your PC?

You could always try a fresh install if you don't have much data to lose (perhaps even a repair install would fix it).

Ya As Usual I tweak the services and i did many but the thing is all the services required for this activation operation and the error code i am getting are on.

Secondly If the required service is off i should get an error logged in event viewer and its not happening..

Ya sure i can do a clean install but i am trying to find solution without it.

The Option Of fix installation i have not done and will be trying soon and be back to report on it...

There are quite a few infected Windows 7 torrents going around and it's possible you may have gotten one of those.

Unless you are using a legitimate Windows 7 Beta key then that's probably your problem right there. However, if this is a legitimate key my advice is to just download Windows 7 RC directly from Microsoft as they still offer it for download.

The Thing is That Windows is Not From Site Directly But A trusted source.
So it being infected is a less possibility.

However the key i am using is one of the keys available out there.
But Then My Doubt is Why Would It activate in first place if it is a non genuine key.
Because after my os installation is complete i activated it online and ran properly for about a week ...

Even genuine keys have install limits. If this was someone else's key that was distributed "out there", then you can be sure there are way more than 10 installs using it. You'd need to get your own key to fix this.

So How can i get New Key To RC1.

Are they distributing keys now??

Get a Product Key

Just need a Product Key? It's easy to get. If you've already downloaded the RC or have an installation disc, start the download process above by selecting your version and language. You'll be asked to enter your Windows Live ID, and answer a few registration questions. Then you'll see the product key you can use to activate the RC, and you won't need to go through the download process again.
