I recommend (HIGHLY) a complete clean reinstallation of your operating system. Looking at your FileScan data above, there are numerous (VERY MANY)tampered files in your operating system which is probably causing the issue. Normally, users have 0 errors. :(

Awd1,
Run the latest version of the mgadiag tool here: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=52012
After running the utility, click the Windows tab then click the "Resolve" button on the lower left. It runs a script that can clear up some of the cryptographic errors. No matter what the utility reports after clicking Resolve, when it gets done, restart the computer and rerun the mgadiag utility to see if the crypto errors were fixed.
Post back and let us know if it worked for you.

It did not work.
Each time I pressed resolve, the same message appeared stating "Problems have occurred while attempting to fix the cryptographic errors. Please contact microsoft support"
Here's the new output from the diag tool:

Awd1,
OK, looks like the shortcut didn't work, so you'll have to slug your way thru the steps in this MS KB article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/822798
There's no doubt that your Dell OEM installation of XP Pro is genuine, there are problems with XP's crypto system that are preventing successful validation or causing Notifications problems.

I went through the MS KB article and nothing worked. I did notice that most of my certificates have a non valid digital signature and importing good certificates did not help. Phil, what does 'clean' reinstallation mean? Wipe the hard drive and start from scratch or just attempt to reinstall XP on top of the existing install? Any other suggestions before I go that route? How would I have gotten that many tampered files in my OS? BTW, here's the latest output from MGA diag:
Thanks...
