What could be more cheering than the sight, today, of a first brave snowdrop?
It would be a skip if OP had been given the appropriate amount of time to make arrangements to go and yet refused to go. That's not the case here. 

OP attended his mother's wedding, I'm assuming, in the knowledge that he would be going to his father's future wedding when it came around. Yet, when it did come around, his father switched up the arrangements at the last minute (and yes, in wedding terms, a single hour of notice is very much "last minute"), leaving him unable to make the arrangements to go. His father is old enough to know that, for any responsible person with a job, a single hour of notice is as good as a snub. He knows good and well that he effectively disinvited him, and while he may be saying he's hurt, he caused the situation, not OP.

His father may be hurt that his son wasn't there, but he snubbed him first.  That's simply not reasonable, rational behaviour.Hello, it started popping up today that it might not be genuine.
Ah - that explains a lot.
The COA sticker is actually for Windows XP Home edition!
I was under the impression that the M11x R2 was a Windows7 netbook, rather than an XP one - obviously, I was wrong!
From the looks of the Event logs in the report, you've had the machine for around 6 months? - there is a large number of errors in July, and a more recent batch containing a lot of problems with the CryptSvc service.
I can see no obvious signs of malware, and you have a reasonable AV (AVG), as well as MBAM installed, so they should catch most things.
You have a hacker's Activation Exploit installed, which Windows has detected - this is used to circumvent activation and validation requirements.
Such hacks not only break the license terms of Windows, they also tend to be accompanied by malware.
You should reformat and reinstall using legal media and Key.
What is a hackers exploit? I got this laptop off ebay and just thought it was legit. Is there anyway to remove it without having to totally re-install the laptop?
Is there a COA sticker on the case of the machine? - it looks like the examples here.... http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/howtotell/Hardware.aspx - if there is, for which version and edition of Windows is it valid? Is the Product Key legible?
<SYSTEM><Manufacturer>Alienware</Manufacturer><Model>M11x R2</Model></SYSTEM> - this is the make and model of the motherboard It would therefore be expected for all parts of teh system to show with Alienware (or Dell) decals, and data.
SLIC LENOVOTP-7X - this is from a Lenovo computer and cannot be present in any other make. It must therefore be part of an Exploit.
1) Demand a refund from the vendor - if you bought it as new, then you should be aware that it ws manufactured around July 2010.
2) If the COA sticker exists, and is legible, you can reinstall Windows using that Key, together with the appropriate media.
3) If the COA sticker isn't present, or is unreadable, you can try ordering a set of Recovery media from the manufacturer, and reinstalling using that.
4) if all else fails, you would have to purchase a Full Retail license for Windows and reinstall from the accompanying disks.
b) An Activation Exploit is a hacker's tool - and while the hack itself may not cause problems, these things often come bundled with malware that may not become apparent until some trigger-condition sets it off, or it may have opened your firewall to attacks from outside.
Yes, it's possible to just swap a full Key into the system after removing the hack - but you need to know which hack has been used (there are dozens), and how to get rid of it, and then you're still not absolutely sure about the rest of the system.
Yeah there is a COA sticker. When I tried to enter the code from it just now it said it appears to not be valid, but the sticker looks valid so I am confused.
The laptop I purchased a few months ago, it was advertised as refurbished, and the windows wasn't really specified, just said the version it had on it.
Actually it is funny you said that, when I first got the laptop there were quite a few weird programs on it. Programs to control the laptop, or monitor it when you are not actually on it. I removed and uninstalled anything I didn't know, Now I am worried I might not of gotten it all.

Is there anyway I can upload a list of things installed that perhaps you might recognise something in there? Sorry again I am not that experienced with computers.
Windows will not accept a new Key until the Exploit is removed completely - and the Key must be for the same edition of Windows as is installed.
Apart from the actual Key, what exactly is printed on the COA sticker?
You can run MSINFO32 and save the output to a file - then upload the file to your SkyDrive (http://skydrive.live.com) or other favoured fileshare service, and post a link to the upload. Then we can have a look.
Recovery Media are DVD's provided by the manufacturer for the purpose of reinstalling the original software, and returning the machine to its ex-factory state - it always includes the Operating System (Widnows) itself, and may include a variety of other software (which you may or may not be able to opt out of). It will usually completely wipe at least the C: drive clean before reinstalling, so you MUST back up to external media first.
It says certificate of authenticity, and proof of license, the rest of it is faded.
It also says X12-53761 and has a few bar codes.
Please let me know if it work, never used it before.
Thank you ever so much for all the help, I really appreciate it! I also want to apologise if it is frustrating to help me at times due to my lack of knowledge, but thank you for being patient!
I had a lot of issues at first due to the RAM inside the machine was completely faulty. I had to purchase brand new RAM as it kept blue screening and the memtest said it was all broken. The guy I purchased it from sent me virtually all the money for it to be replaced. Since then I have tried to contact him and he has been less than helpful. Just one thing after another. I have learnt my lesson though not to buy elecrtronics from ebay any more that is for sure.
Yes I have had it for roughly 6 months. Can you explain to me what the CryptSvc is? The version of windows on it now is 7 but my guess is it was originally windows XP and the guy who had it before put an illegal copy of windows on it and who knows what else (like I said there were lots of weird programs on it when I first purchased it).
Is Pro a lot better than the Home edition and worth the extra money?
Thank you for the amazing help once again.
CryptScv is the Cryptographics Service - on which Windows relies for checking things like software certificates and licensing.
If the service is broken, there's a good chance that programs can't be installed or updated.
There are basically only two good reasons for installing Pro rather than Home Premium.
Almost everything else is the same, or can be worked around.
Okay thank you again. This is incredibly frustrating. My plan at the moment is to borrow a windows XP cd from my friend and using the key on the bottom of my laptop (if it works) to install it, and then buy an upgrade version of Windows 7 as this is a lot cheaper than the full version. I already have to take the laptop in for a fault with the screen which will cost me around £200, last thing I wanted was to have to pay for more too. Do you think that sounds like an okay idea?
If you can get hold of a legal Upgrade license and disk for Windows 7, you can use the procedures here for a clean install....
Ohhhh that is a lot easier. Yes I will be ordering a copy in the next few days. I just find everything easier when you have a proper version regardless of the fact you have to pay for it. A friend of mine has never purchased windows and always has issues with his computer, and my pc has been running completely fine for 3 years now without a single issue.
Thank you ever so much for all the help, I really would be no where without the help you gave me!
You're welcome - feel free to come back with any questions. If I don't know teh answer, then I can at least point you in the right direction.Usually, this site is in portuguese, but to help people from abroad, I decided to create a page
