If you continue to get that same only other thing I can think of is to stop the Windows Update Service (in the Adminstrative Tools>Services) before running the Activation process again. You will have to "re-hide" any updates that you had hidden previously before you did the clean up of the SoftwareDistribution directory. Windows Updates will scan your system and will detect all the successful Windows Updates and list them in a different Window (Installed Updates if I remember correctly). Don't be alarmed about not having any Windows Updates history. When you get back into Regular Mode of Windows 7 run Windows Updates. Go back to RUN>msconfig, Boot tab and uncheck the box for SAFEBOOT, APPLY, OK and restart. * In the EventCache folder - delete everything in there. * In the Download folder - delete everything in there. * In the Logs folder (within the DataStore folder) - delete everything in there. * In the DataStore folder - delete the DataStore.edb file. Whilst in Safe Mode navigate to the C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution directory: * In the AuthCabs folder - delete everything in there. If that doesn't work: RUN>msconfig, Boot tab> check the box below for SAFEBOOT, APPLY, OK then you'll be prompted to restart. Pressing the F8 key after the BIOS POST and before (and during) Windows 7 begins to boot up should work to get Windows 7 into Safe Mode. To do the clean up properly and safely Windows 7 will need to be in Safe Mode. In the C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution directory there are 5 folders that can be emptied out: AuthCabs, DataStore, Logs (subfolder of DataStore), Download, and EventCache. Perhaps some clean up of the Windows Updates temporary directory (C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution) might be in order. I reckon it's possible that the Windows Update Service within Windows 7 might be interfering with the Activation process. For some strange reason your system's Activation process (pinoy and SPC) appears to be being redirected to the Windows Updates servers instead of the Activation servers. The error code: 0x80072EFD is most common when using the Windows Updates website as it scans your system.
