After a Windows update (I assume) about a month ago, my system has been
accused of not being Genuine ("This copy of Windows is not genuine").
Valditating it on the Microsoft has not helped either. Suggestions?

Please follow this simple troubleshooting procedure, courtesy of MS MVP

1. Download and install the WGA Diagnostic Tool

2. After running the WGA Diagnostic Tool, click on the "Windows" tab and
then click on "Copy to Clipboard".

3. Next, visit the following website and create a post in the "WGA
Validation Problems" forum and paste the results of the WGA Diagnostic Data
