Reboot says "Not genuine", but WGA tool says "Genuine"

Long story short: when my XP Professional machine boots up, the "Not
Genuine" and "no more updates for you!" messages shows up, but when I
run the WGA Diagnostic Tool, it says "Genuine". Suffice it to say
that this is a legitimate copy.

Question: What are my options now? What is Microsoft's public
comment to those of us with legitimate copies experiencing this issue?
