Windows 7 Home not genuine, but it is. Please help!

Question

Greetings,
This is a carryover from answers.miscrsoft at the following link: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-windows_install/what-do-i-do-to-re-authenticate-my-windows-7-i/8f2788a6-ba99-4895-804f-e08cace345f6?page=1
Basically, I (think) I deleted or uninstalled some services, that may or may not be the casue, but coincidentally started getting messages my valide Windows 7 was not genuine. The thread is a tad long, but critical to understand what we've tried so far. Ultimately, I can simply rebuild, but I believe this should be a fairly simply fix. Last of the big dreams right?
Thanks

Please observe announcement 1 above and paste the MGADiag report here even though you ran one earlier in the other thread.
