  You appear to have a number of problems

  1) a File Mismatch: C:\Windows\system32\linkinfo.dll[Hr = 0x80070002] - actually a missing file.

  2) Possibly incompatible Anti-Virus

  3) You're still running Service Pack 1 - which is no longer supported.

  Start with trying to fix the file mismatch....

   

  Please run a full CHKDSK and SFC scan....

  Click on Start > All Programs > Accessories

  Right-click on the Command Prompt entry

  Select Run as Administrator and accept the UAC prompt - the Elevated Command Prompt window should pop up.

   

   At the Command prompt, type

   CHKDSK C: /R

   and hit the Enter key.

   

   You will be told that the drive is locked,

   and the CHKDSK will run at he next boot - hit the Y key, and then reboot.

   The chkdsk will take a few hours depending on the size  of the drive, so be patient!

   After the CHKDSK has run, Windows should boot normally  (possibly after a second auto-reboot) - then run the SFC.

   

   SFC -System File Checker - Instructions

  Click on Start > All Programs > Accessories

  Right-click on the Command Prompt entry

  Select Run as Administrator and accept the UAC prompt - the Elevated Command Prompt window should pop up.

   At the Command prompt, type

   SFC /SCANNOW

   and hit the Enter key

   

   Wait for the scan to finish - make a note of any error messages - and then reboot.

   Copy the CBS.log file created to your desktop (you can't manipulate it directly) and then compress the copy and upload it to your SkyDrive (http://skydrive.live.com ) and post a link to it so that I can take a look.

   

  Post a new MGADiag report with details of any error messages encountered.

  You neglected to post a link to the CBS log

  You also neglected to run a new MGADiag report, and post the results of that.

  The SFC *should* have replaced the linkinfo.dll file in the System32 folder - but it may be that the winsxs copy is also corrupted - the CBS.log will tell us.

  Looking through the CBS log, there are no errors to be found, and no  fixes applied by SFC.

  Try the following command .....

  SFC /SCANFILE=C:\Windows\System32\Linkinfo.dll

  what result do you get?

  In that case, the only solution I can see is going to involve probably an hour's downtime , as it involves booting to the Repair Environment and running an offline SFC /SCANNOW, and then checking for the proper presence of the file.

  Interestingly, I just removed the file from my (Vista Business) VM, and the system stayed genuine, although the error did appear in the report.

  This would imply that we may as well move on to the other problems you have....

  Your 0xc004d401 error is almost always caused by using one of three AV's - Norton, BitDefender, or Avast, and installing or updating the AV without first updating Vista to Service Pack 2 level. It is not enough to merely apply the SP with the AV still installed - the AV must first be uninstalled, and then the Service Pack installed, and then the AV reinstalled.

  This will required at least four reboots, as well as a fair amount of time to actually apply the SP.

  The procedure is

  1) Uninstall AV and reboot

  2) Run AV manufacturer's removal/cleanup tool and reboot

  3) Apply Service Pack 2 and reboot

  4) Reinstall AV and reboot

  5) Apply relevant updates and reboot as required

  I suspect that the best thing would be to attempt an SFC /scanfile again after removing the AV and see if it works then, before applying SP2 - the file doesn't appear to be updated by any Vista updates.

  No - I do not work for Microsoft, or any of its contractors.
