OEM PC fails validation when genuine - WHY?

Question
-
Since installing IE7, the ActiveX validation tool doesn't fire. I have ActiveX set to prompt, but it doesn't, nor is there an information bar.
When I ran the WGA tool, it failed validation. This worries me as it has never faield validation before and I know it is a genuine Toshiba complete with a hologram sticker for XP.
Diagnostics say:

KJEvans,
Please uninstall IE7 using the Add or Remove Programs applet in the Control Panel, restart the computer and then rerun the mgadiag utility and post the results in your response.
Thanx!

Try installing the lateste version of WGA Notifications and Validation package: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=69498
You have an out-of-date version that could be causing loading conflicts with your IE settings.

Thanks everyone.
It had validated perfectly well before (since having IE7), so I didn't waqnt to remove IE7 except as a last resort - all I wanted was one download, which I could get using a different PC.
Anyway, I tried it again without doing anything and it's genuine again. I think WGA is just broken! Thank goodness we use a third party app for patching and don't have to rely on WU.
However I will check for latest controls even though it is working again.

KJEvans,
By the way, the mgadiag utility is showing that your installed copy of Microsoft Office is nongenuine.
This link http://forums.microsoft.com/Genuine/ShowForum.aspx?ForumID=1005&SiteID=25 will take you to the Office validation forum where you can post for further details about your installed nongenuine Office.
