    The copy of Win 7 is OEM installed (Dell) yet I get this error: am also unable to install any Windows Updates (am guessing this is the cause) Also startup after logging in is extremely SLOW! I restored the PC to the earliest restore point since the problem occurred (2 days back) but that didnt resolve the issue. I ran the windows activation and it stated that windows was activated but I continue to get the message to install a genuine copy!!! Appreciate any tips in resolving this.

    Just to provide everyone with an update ... I finally had to do a clean install of the OS and obviously that did resolve the issue. Now I have a cleaner, meaner win7 PC Thanks for all your help :)

    No change, I’m afraid.
     
    I am beginning to think along the same lines myself – or more that there is a common application installed which is corrupting a part of the registry, and Windows isn’t seeing it until something else triggers it (which may be an update). There does seem to have been a noticeable uptick in incidence of this problem in the past couple of months – but if it was actually a problem with an update, I would have expected a flood, not a trickle.
     
    Unfortunately until I can actually physically get my hands on an affected system, it’s unlikely that I can assist.
    The files affected are similar to the list produced by a fault in the Cryptographic Service – but the error messages are slightly different, and a couple more files are present here.
     
    I suggest that you either contact WGA Support for assistance, or use the manufacturer’s Recovery system to return the machine to an ex-factory state (back up your data to external media first!)
     
    WGA Support can be found here-

    North America: http://support.microsoft.com/contactus/cu_sc_genadv_master?ws=support&ws=support#tab4

    Outside North America:
    http://support.microsoft.com/contactus/?ws=support#tab0

    Please let us know if (and how) MS manage to repair the problem without a repair install of the OS - it would be useful for future reference!

    The copy of Win 7 is OEM installed (Dell) yet I get this error: am also unable to install any Windows Updates (am guessing this is the cause) Along with the windows Activation message, startup after logging in is extremely SLOW! I restored the PC to the earliest restore point since the problem occurred (2 days back) but that didnt resolve the issue. I ran the windows activation and it stated that windows was activated but I continue to get the message to install a genuine copy!!! Appreciate any tips in resolving this. -

    The set of file mismatches above are typical of one of two causes:-
    1) a restore from an image backup of the system
    2) a failed driver update
    The only one for which we currently have a solution is the second.....
    Installing the Intel Rapid Storage Drivers
    try downloading and installing them from here -
    - you’ll need the set for the x64 (64-bit) platform on Win7
    Once complete, please reboot twice, then post another MGADiag report.
    Good Luck!

    with the growing number of similar complaints in the last few days its safe to assume that some recent update crapped this out and is causing the MGA Message

    Not at all.  Your system was corrupt to begin with.

    No change, I’m afraid.
     
    I am beginning to think along the same lines myself – or more that there is a common application installed which is corrupting a part of the registry, and Windows isn’t seeing it until something else triggers it (which may be an update). There does seem to have been a noticeable uptick in incidence of this problem in the past couple of months – but if it was actually a problem with an update, I would have expected a flood, not a trickle.
     
    Unfortunately until I can actually physically get my hands on an affected system, it’s unlikely that I can assist.
    The files affected are similar to the list produced by a fault in the Cryptographic Service – but the error messages are slightly different, and a couple more files are present here.
     
    I suggest that you either contact WGA Support for assistance, or use the manufacturer’s Recovery system to return the machine to an ex-factory state (back up your data to external media first!)
     
    WGA Support can be found here-

    North America: http://support.microsoft.com/contactus/cu_sc_genadv_master?ws=support&ws=support#tab4

    Outside North America:
    http://support.microsoft.com/contactus/?ws=support#tab0

    Please let us know if (and how) MS manage to repair the problem without a repair install of the OS - it would be useful for future reference!

    Thanks again for the input. Will try the WGA support option first. I was considering the repair install as well as the last resort. Will keep this thread updated

    WGA Support provided me with a link to a "Counterfeit Software Report" form that needs to be filled out and mailed to them.

    Hope this helps!

    AS far as I can see, there is nothing counterfeit about your system.
    Darin may be able to say more – but I’d go for a repair install (you may have to use the Default Key to be able to force it, then change the Key later to the one on your COA sticker).

    Oh! I know its not counterfeit, I bought it off of Dell.com and it has the Windows 7 label down under!!! :) I also got in touch with Dell support, who basically were fishing around as well (at least they tried vs MGA support asking me to submit this report!) Dell did run "sfc /scannow" which basically confirmed that a bunch of files were corrupted (thats what the sfc scan reported), I'll be getting back in touch with Dell later this evening to see what else they can come up with. One thing I did notice was that msconfig and other utilities displayed "Unknown Publisher" ... I find that strange!!!

    That suggests that something has severely corrupted the OS – you really need to do that repair install.

    Just to provide everyone with an update ... I finally had to do a clean install of the OS and obviously that did resolve the issue. Now I have a cleaner, meaner win7 PC Thanks for all your help :)

    Did you try a repair install first, or was there no option for that?

    I did have the option, however Dell Support suggested I do the clean install. I did it also to clean out my system of any possible bugs that may have caused this in the first place. This way I wouldnt be going around in circles!

    Hmm – your reasons for a clean install are a lot better than most ;)
    Dell’s were simply to get you off the line in the shortest possible time :(  I’ve experienced that advice from them for a minor software problem solved by uninstalling and reinstalling a driver.
     
    Thanks for coming back.

    :) I'll give the Dell support guy who was working with me more credit simply because he did make an effort to resolve my issue calling me back 3 days in a row with different solutions that I had not found online or thought of (at my convenience I should add) before suggesting that I do the clean install. Maybe I just go lucky. Microsoft MGA support on the other hand was quick to shunt me off to the Counterfiet site without understanding my issue (which incidently I need'nt have submitted). This, I thought was more dissapointing.

    I agree with you on that!
    Again, it’s the difference between the operators reading off a script, and actually knowing what they are doing. Unfortunately, in the current climate, you’re more likely to get the former on a phone than the latter:(
