    It all started when I tried to look for new updates in the 'Security Center' and got the error message :
    Code 80070426 Windows Update encountered an unknown error.

    After reading another thread, if I ran a DOS command window as the administrator and try to start the service slsvc, I get the following:

    Microsoft Windows [Version 6.0.6001]
    Copyright (c) 2006 Microsoft Corporation.  All rights reserved.

    C:\Windows\system32>net start slsvc
    System error 193 has occurred.

    *** is not a valid Win32 application


    C:\Windows\system32>

    I wanted to post the output of the MS diagnostic tool but do not know how to get this report.

    Under Services (got there by clicking on Start and typing in 'Services' in search window)I see that against slsvc the following appears in the description :
    Failed to Read Description. Error Code: 2

    Also in the same window, cannot start the service 'SLUINotify'

    I am running a running a compaq Presario F500 and have Windows Vista Home Basic installed.

    I tried to do a system restore but got the following application error under the heading rstrui.exe :
    The application failed to initialize properly (0xc000007b). Click OK to terminate the application

    Another error I recieved doing something was under the heading HPHD_Scheduler.exe-Fatal error :
    CLR error : 80004005
    The program will now terminate.

    Please help.

    Hello Sooboo,

    You will notice that under the "File Scan Data-->" line there are a large number of files that are listed as Mismatched. All those files listed, are Critical Vista System files. Normally, when there is one or two Mismatched files, it means that those files have been tampered or corrupted in some way. But in your case the Diagnostic Report is reporting that ALL your Critical Vista System files are Tampered or Corrupted. This is highly unlikely. What is more likely is that your System Catalog has been tampered or corrupted. The System Catalog stores all the Signatures Hash (think fingerprint) for all the Critical Vista System (and other) files. One of the things that Vista uses the System Catalog for is to identify if a file has been tampered or corupted because if the file had been modified in any way, it's signature hash would not match what is listed in the System Catalog and in that case Vista would flag itself as Non-Genuine.

      This is the reason your Vista is showing as Non-Genuine. Since Vista can't read the System Catalog, it can't compare the signature hashs and so assumes all are mismatched. 

    I recommend that you first try Repairing Windows using System Restore:

    1. Reboot Vista into Safe Mode
    2. Go to Control Panel
    3. On the left hand side of the Control panel window, Click on "Classic View"
    4. Double-click "Backup and Restore Center"
    5. On the left hand side of the window, click "Repair Windows using system restore"
    6. Put a check in the box that says "Show restore points older than 5 days",
    7. Select "Choose Different Restore Point", select the restore point that corresponds to a date Before you first experianced an issue.
    8. Click the "Next" button.
    9. Reboot back into Normal mode
    10. Run the Diagnostic Tool again and paste the results into NotePad or Word doc and scroll down to the "File Scan Data-->" line.
    11a)     If there are any Mismatched files listed, they you will need to restore to a point further in the past.
    11b)     If there are No Mismatched files listed, then your Vista will report as Genuine and there is a chance that your Windows Update issue may also be resolved.

    If that doesn't work, try doing a System Scan. The scan will look for bad Vista files and will attempt to repair them, if possible.

    1) Login to Vista in Normal Mode (not safe mode)
    2) Launch an Internet Browser
    3) Type: %windir%\system32\ in the browser's address field
    4) Scroll down till you find the file cmd.exe
    5) Right-click the file and select 'Run as Administrator'
    6) In the CMD window, type: sfc /scannow
    7) Reboot twice and see if that resolves the issue.

    If neither of these sets of steps resolves the issue, my only other suggestions would be either to contact Vista support at http://support.microsoft.com or reinstall Vista.

    Thank you,
    Darin MS

    To help us troubleshoot the issue you are experiencing, please download and run the Microsoft Genuine Advantage Diagnostics Tool.  Once you run the tool, click on the Continue button, then click on the Copy button and paste the report into your post.  Thank you!

    The following solution is applicable only if you have a retail version of the windows vista.
    Insert windows vista disk and install windows... during installation choose upgrade option. This is called upgrade repair.
    Seems you are a HP customer and they do not provide the retail disk hence it may not be possible.
    You may land up reinstalling windows or restoring the computer to factory defaults.

    All the best.

    Hello Sooboo,

    You will notice that under the "File Scan Data-->" line there are a large number of files that are listed as Mismatched. All those files listed, are Critical Vista System files. Normally, when there is one or two Mismatched files, it means that those files have been tampered or corrupted in some way. But in your case the Diagnostic Report is reporting that ALL your Critical Vista System files are Tampered or Corrupted. This is highly unlikely. What is more likely is that your System Catalog has been tampered or corrupted. The System Catalog stores all the Signatures Hash (think fingerprint) for all the Critical Vista System (and other) files. One of the things that Vista uses the System Catalog for is to identify if a file has been tampered or corupted because if the file had been modified in any way, it's signature hash would not match what is listed in the System Catalog and in that case Vista would flag itself as Non-Genuine.

      This is the reason your Vista is showing as Non-Genuine. Since Vista can't read the System Catalog, it can't compare the signature hashs and so assumes all are mismatched. 

    I recommend that you first try Repairing Windows using System Restore:

    1. Reboot Vista into Safe Mode
    2. Go to Control Panel
    3. On the left hand side of the Control panel window, Click on "Classic View"
    4. Double-click "Backup and Restore Center"
    5. On the left hand side of the window, click "Repair Windows using system restore"
    6. Put a check in the box that says "Show restore points older than 5 days",
    7. Select "Choose Different Restore Point", select the restore point that corresponds to a date Before you first experianced an issue.
    8. Click the "Next" button.
    9. Reboot back into Normal mode
    10. Run the Diagnostic Tool again and paste the results into NotePad or Word doc and scroll down to the "File Scan Data-->" line.
    11a)     If there are any Mismatched files listed, they you will need to restore to a point further in the past.
    11b)     If there are No Mismatched files listed, then your Vista will report as Genuine and there is a chance that your Windows Update issue may also be resolved.

    If that doesn't work, try doing a System Scan. The scan will look for bad Vista files and will attempt to repair them, if possible.

    1) Login to Vista in Normal Mode (not safe mode)
    2) Launch an Internet Browser
    3) Type: %windir%\system32\ in the browser's address field
    4) Scroll down till you find the file cmd.exe
    5) Right-click the file and select 'Run as Administrator'
    6) In the CMD window, type: sfc /scannow
    7) Reboot twice and see if that resolves the issue.

    If neither of these sets of steps resolves the issue, my only other suggestions would be either to contact Vista support at http://support.microsoft.com or reinstall Vista.

    Thank you,
    Darin MS

    Hi Darin,

    Thanks a lot for you solution.
    I tried the second option first as it as easier and managed to get rid of most of the mismatches in the 'File Scan Data'.
    This status also resulted in successful updation of 'Windows Update' and now my computer is fully updated.

    However, there are three mismatched files still left out and probably this is resuting in the ongoing existing problem i.e. :
    1) My screen saver photos are not showing.
    2) I cannot see the stored picture icons (only the name is visible) however when I double click on the blank spaces, the picture opens up.

    Can you please let me know if it is still necessary to carry out the first method mentioned by you earlier.
    One of the errors that I am getting just after restarting the laptop is  : 'HPHC_Scheduler.exe-Fatal error' - there are some numbers also with this error which I did not capture.

    Please find  below the Diagnostics report after doing this :
