I just installed Windows 7 (A retail copy bought after I had my computer). I also installed a few drivers (nvidia graphics), some stress testing tools (Nvidia tech demos to run along side prime95), Google Chrome, and some utilities from CPUID to watch
temperatures. But nothing else was installed except for windows updates.
When I got to the SP1 update, it installed and told me I had to restart to finish installing it. I postponed it and a few minutes later a dialog box popped up telling me that unauthorized changes were made to windows core components (or something to that
effect) and that I need to reinstall.
I restarted my computer at that time.
The Microsoft Genuine Advantage Diagnostic Tool tells me this information which I don't entirely know how to interpret, but I think it looks ok:

So is there any reason I might need to reinstall like the dialog box told me? Is anything potentially bad going to happen if i don't? When that dialog box popped up, did it set some flags anywhere or record something that will make Windows decide some time
in the future that it isn't genuine?
I've read this happens when windows detects a file is a version that it shouldn't be. Is it possible that the SP1 install somehow failed to update one of the files? Is there a way to verify SP1 installation?
Windows 7 SP1 update makes an "unauthorized change to windows". Reinstall necessary?
