Product Key Invalid For Activation after 4 and 8 months!!!!!

Question
-
Hello,
I bought a Dell computer with Windows vista. After 4 months the computer went in safe mode and asked for an activation key. I used the key on the sticker and it didn't work.
I contacted Dell and they told me to wipe out my hard disk and reinstall it from scratch using the OEM CD that came with the computer.
I did it (in June) and now (November) I have the same problem.
I cannot do anything but access the web. I do not have access to Start menu either.
The message error says the activation key is wrong.
I did not upgrade anything beside using the automatic windows upgrade.
I just run the MS genuine advantage diagnostic tool and here is the result:

Hello,
I used the same command on a test win 2k8 server tha I was having issues with. Thank you as it has resolved the issue.
I am very reluctant to execute this in our production environment though, could you please breakdown and explain what each part of the command is doing? I just want to make sure there are no security risks caused by this command.
Regards,
Glenn
