Windows Genuine Advantage - reports Windows not genuine

[Guest Gerry]

XP Pro SP2

Windows is a OEM install and been running fine for the past 4 years and has

always passed a WGA check. The most recent update to WGA wiped out my video

driver which resulted in the system booting with only a VGA display. I

reinstalled the video driver and now have the proper display, but WGA

continues to report that Windows is not genuine. I ran through the

validation process and received a pass, but WGA continues to tell me my OS is

not genuine. I restored the entire drive from a backup prior to installing

the latest WGA but I am still getting the not genuine error.

 

How can I get things back to normal?
