After SP3 install, getting the Validation error

Two weeks ago, after getting help from MS , during which SP3 was installed via remote access, had a successful upgrade. Yay!
Now we get the "you may be a victim of software counterfeiting, This copy of Windows did not pass genuine Windows validation." message at the screen's bottom right corner, and a black background instead of my usual wallpaper.
Our software is real, we've never had this issue before. And I have to guess that the SP3 from the windows tech was genuine as well. :)
When I try to go through the troubleshooting steps in the provided link, it just takes me to a "Upgrade to Windows 7" page. Don't want to do that, plan to retire this workstation before the end of the year.
What can I do to get rid of this issue?
Many thanks,
