    Hi.

    I've been looking for a solution to this problem many places on the net, including in here and haven't found one yet.

    Here we go:

    I can't enter control panel, network settings or windows update and more.

    The Service Software license are not running, and can not start, not even in cmd with "net start slsvc", then it would say system error 2 occured.
    The service SL UI CAN't be started also.
    I tried following different types of advice in here...none of them worked.

    I have tried to follow the guide in the "announcements", but it didn't help, even though its the exact error I have.
    I can see that the path in regedit for SLsvc.exe is the right one, and the file is at the right place, but I keep getting System Error 2.

    I hope some of you have a soloution, well at least one of you =)

    And I can't even post my output from MS Diag, because this error: "Failed to create output files, hr = 0x80070002. Please contact support.
    So, its going really well.... =S

     Hello Spect8,

      I haven't heard of any problems like this directly related to Nero (but it's possible), but depending on the results of the below steps, the issue could be caused by either a over zealous Free Registry Cleaner Program or some sort of file corruption.

         The problem is that your Vista's Software Licensing Service has stopped. Vista uses this service to check itself and confirm it is Genuine. When the service is stopped, Vista is unable to confirm it's own Genuine status and may show Genuine or Non-Genuine. The fact that the Service has stopped is also, most likely, the cause of other issues you may be experiencing (such as not having access to the Control Panel).

      Normally this is not a big problem, since you can just restart the Service. However, we have seen a number of users that receive an error when they attempt to restart the Service. This indicates a more serious 'root cause' to the service having stopped.

      What I would like you to do is to try to restart the service using the 'Service Restart' steps, below. If the service won't restart, you will receive an error.

     

    Service Restart steps:

    (If you have access to the Start button):

    1)    Click the Start button

    2)    Type: cmd in the Start Search field

    3)    At the top the Start window, you will see cmd.exe

    4)    Right Click cmd.exe and select Run as Administrator

    5)    Type: net start slsvc

     

    (If you do not have access to the Start button):

    1)    Click the option that launches an Internet Browser

    2)    A Browser will open, type: %windir%\system32 into the address field

    3)    Find the file cmd.exe

    4)    Right Click on the cmd.exe and select Run as Administrator

    5)    Type: net start slsvc

     

    A)   If the error message is "System Error 3, The system cannot find the path specified." or "System Error 2, The system cannot find the file specified": Go to the main Vista Validation forum page http://social.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/genuinevista/threads/, look in the announcement section and follow the steps found in thread "Fix for ‘Software Licensing service Has Stopped’ on some Vista 64bit systems"

     

    B)   If you receive any other error (System Error 5, System Error 57346 or System Error 54273): These occur as a result of massive file corruption.  We do not know what the root cause of the corruption is and this can be caused by any situation where files could be corrupted. However, from troubleshooting others that had this issue, the likeliest causes are either Malware Infection or failing Hard Drive. The only resolution we can suggest is reinstall Vista.

     

    C)   If you receive no System Error and the Service start but then stops almost immediately: Something is apparently activity stopping the service. Most likely caused by some other dependent Windows Service or possibly a Malware infection. While the Software Licensing Service, itself, is part of the Anti-piracy sub-system, the running (and stopping) of Windows Services is a Vista core system that I have no insight to and is supported by Vista support at http://support.microsoft.com

    Thank you,
    Darin mS

    I don't know if it has anything to say but, I have Vista64x Danish, that said, I have a folder in system32 called da-DK, which has a lot of the files in System32, including 2 files called SLsvc.exe.mui, and SLUI.exe.mui. Don't know if that has anything to say.

    I got the outpost to work somehow:
