Just a thought ... are you using IE 8?
Event ID 12 refers to two things. The time service which you said is ok how do you know it is ok? Have you been successful in syncronizing the time?
The other refers to a snap-in that is either missing or damaged. I assume you are on a Domain network because of the kms key. Can you do a restore from a previous backup?

I use IE8
Synchronised time every day at 17h with time.nist.org (time.windows.com is unreachable...)
I do not have any backup because its fresh install windows 7 Professional on brand new asus laptop
I repeat that I see windows 7 validation service loaded in my other laptop in services.msc but not in this one .. ? and I saw that I do not activate the service "software protection" and I just do it but nothing change after reboot. validating fail

Are you using the same copy of Win 7 and the same key? This could be a problem if you aren't a system builder.
????? its volume kms Key channel, not for 2 computer only but for more than 100 license...
with legal "normal" key you can NOT activate more than 1 computer... my little 5 year old son knows that
I find a solution :
I uninstall the kb971033 and reinstall it and... voilą ! I can validate my windows on microsoft.com/genuine
Darin help me to resolve this trouble, you can see thread here : legal windows 7 activated but validation failed
I lost two days of my life to resolve this sh... Its disappointing and its a SHAME for microsoft, frankly.
