This error never ends!!

Question
-
I have tried to many ways to resolve this error. I have system restored, uninstalled all offending programs, and still I get an alert through the online tool that my Windows is not genuine (I dont even have the luxury of an error code). I cant even log in unless I am in safe mode, because Windows prevents me from doing anything, saying that I have made an unauthorized change to my system. The diagnostic tool says I am genuine though!! Please help -____- this is such a nightmare.

Hi borrrden,
The error code 0x80070426 (line 3 of the Diagnostic Report) shows that the Software Licensing Service was not running. This service should run, automaticly, at each boot. I also see M:20071107150542780- (line 21) which is the Tamper Time Stamp. This tells me a critical system file (most likely the file that runs the Software Licensing Service) was tampered (usually by a incompatible program) on Nov. 7th 2007. This should tell us around when either the program was installed or when the program was launched. Unfortunately, the TTS only shows the most resent tamper. If the tamper occured a number of times, say on Nov 1st, 3rd then lastly on the 7th, the TTS would only show us the Nov 7th tamper time.
Did you install or launch (for the first time) any new programs around the time the problem first occured? (NOTE: Even if a incompatible program is launched, it can take hours or just minutes for Vista to detect it) or did you uninstall any programs around the time the problem stopped? if not, your issue may still occure in the future.
I suggest that if the problem does occure again, try to remember what program(s) you launched (and that are still activly running) before the problem occured. If you can identify the offending program, uninstall it and the problem shouldn't occure again.
Thank you,
Darin Smith
