Windows Activation Error

Question
-
Can anyone help me, I have been looking in forums and on the Windows help site for a week and I still cannot resolve my problem.
Recently got a pop-up saying I may be running counterfeit software, which has never happened before as I have my laptop now for over a year.
I have tried the Windows solution to run cmd and type net start slsvc, I have gotten back
The software licensing could not be started.
A system error has occurred.
System error 57346 has occurred.
The system cannot find message text for message number 0xe002 in the message file for BASE.
Now I have seen posts that are near perfect replicas of mine but the solutions have not worked.
For example running an update that takes care of the problem Vista makes for itself in letting programs run.
Update for Windows Vista (KB931573)
This was not applicable to my system,
And when running this code in Command Prompt:
cscript %windir%\System32\slmgr.vbs /ilc %windir%\System32\licensing\ppdlic\Security-Licensing-SLC-ppdlic.xrm-ms
I also get an error:
C:\Windows\ System32\slmgr.vbs(291, 5) Microsoft VBScript runtime error: Object required: 'g_objWMIService'
This is the result of the Diagnostic Report, can anyone help me please?!

Hi futureboys,
The issue with your Vista is that the Software Licensing Service has stopped and (as you have already found out when you tried the Net Start Slsvc command) will not restart.
We have found there are different types of this issue and the way we have found how to distinguish between the different types is by the error message you receive when you use the Net Start Slsvc command.
We have alread found the cause (and the fix) for the 'System Error 3' type, but we have little information on your 'System Error 57346' type. So I need to get some additional information.
1) Have you recently installed or replaced any Hardware or Software?
2) do you have any Registry Cleaner software installed? (include the name and version)
3) Do you have a Anti-Virus program that is up-to-date with all updates and signature files?
a) If so, run a complete scan. Did it find anything?
b) Also go to http://onecare.live.com/site/en-us/center/whatsnew.htm and run a complete scan using the OneCare Safety Scan for Windows Vista. Did it find anything?
If either scan finds any malware, and you need assistance in removing it, you can contact PC Safety. They are a Microsoft group that provides free assistance with malware infections. PC Safety: 1-866-PCSafety or 1-866-727-2338
Thank you,

Answers to those questions:
1) I found this problem occurred I think after installing a registry cleaner (RegCure latest version) and the new AVG 8.5. I do not know which one has caused it but after uninstalling both programs it is still not resolved.
2) As above. Error Expert is there also.
3) a) The scan did not find anything - Spyware Terminator 2.5.5
b) The OneCareLive Scan did not install correctly. It says there was an error. It may be related to the activation error do you think?
Thanks,

Hi Futureboy,
We have seen a number of problems with Registry Cleaners causing a Software Licensing service has stopped (and won't restart) issue. The "System Error 2" and "System error 3" are both caused by a different "free" Registry Cleaner deleting the registry Key that tells Vista where the slsvc.exe file is (it's the file that controles the Software Licensing service)
I cannot, however, be sure your issue was caused by that Registry Cleaner. If it was the cause, and if it deleted something importent, even if you uninstalled it, the damage would still exist. So, what I would like you to try is to System Restore your Vista back to a restore point prior to when you installed the Regisrty Cleaner. If the Registry Cleaner was the cause, then this should restore to a point before the damage occured (see the steps on how to repair using System Restore, at the bottom of the post)
As for that Anti-Virus program, I have had no reports of users having any "non-Genuine" problem with that software. In fact, it's quite populare. Just be sure to keep it up-to-date.
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) Select "Choose Different Restore Point", Put a check in the box that says "Show restore points older than 5 days", select the restore point that corresponds to the date Before you installed the Registry Cleaner.
7) Click the "Next" button.
8) Reboot back into Normal mode
9) Do you still see the issue?
Thank you,
Darin MS
