What is "The Win32sl service terminated with service-specific error 7"?
I receive this error on boot after upgrading to McAfee 4.5.1 on Dell systems.

All I could find was the win32sl refers to Desktop Management Interface. On Dells it goes by Inspector Software. You might see if McAfee has altered this in any way. Here is a copy/paste for this (http://www.northlanddigital.com/startup.htm) web site.
DMISTART (win32sl.exe)
This utility which launches at startup is function is to collect system information for Client Manager. This DMI (Desktop management interface)software is made by Intel which is called Intel LDCM Client Manager and alsoshipped with Dell systems called Inspector Software. Not required in startup.

"To work around this issue, disable the DMIStart utility:
Restart the computer. Press and hold down the CTRL key until the Windows 98 Startup menu appears, and then choose Safe Mode.
Click Start, point to Programs, point to Accessories, point to System Tools, and then click System Information.
On the Tools menu, click System Configuration Utility.
On the Startup tab, click to clear the check box next to DMIStart.
Click OK. When you are prompted to restart the computer, click Yes."
