It looks like your system has some tampered OEM files which is causing the validation failure. If you look at the file-mismatch section, it notes that ALL of your OEM files are having inconsistencies with the standard Dell OEMSLP image. I would recommend doing a repair installationtion with your Dell Recovery media.

Hi SalemMa,
I will try to give you a high level explanation.
In the Diagnostic Report(line: 8) it shows: "Windows License Type: OEM SLP".
This type of license is a version of Windows that can only be installed (legally) on the computer(s) that it was created for (in your case Dells). It knows what kind of computer it is residing on by the specific files on that computer. If those files are corrupt, been modified or are missing, then you start getting the behavior you are experiencing.
In the Diagnostic Report (under "File Scan Data-->") you see:
File Mismatch: c:\windows\system32\oembios.bin
File Mismatch: c:\windows\system32\oembios.dat
File Mismatch: c:\windows\system32\oembios.sigYour version of Windows either can not Read or can not fully Understand these files.
These files can only be repaired/replaced by doing a repair installation with your Dell Recovery media.
Hope this helps,

Can you describe the issue you're having in a bit more detail? I dont really understand what you're trying to do.
Is it failing when you're going to Windows Update?

Windows validation is required at the MS DOWNLOAD CENTER before one can download the above stated service routine (User Profile Hive Cleanup Service). The above stated Windows validation error message is obtained during the validation process and hence am unable to download the service.Tuesday, February 13, 2007 12:22 AM

This system is over 3 years old and has had its share of crashes and hang-ups down through the years. It does not surprise me that there may exist some corrupt files (OEM or otherwise). A number of the Dell factory installed programs were uninstalled a long time ago. I don't understand what this has to do with the GENUINENESS of my Windows OS and MS Programs ....which the Windows Validation Program says ARE GENUINE!! Please explain.
