Ravenium

I'm writing this in the hopes someone can figure out something I've missed, but I'm not holding out much hope. Here goes.
I bought DR2 a little before Christmas when it was on sale. As with a lot of people here, I spent the first few trying to work out the blasted GFWL issues, but finally it seemed to be working. I played a match or two online, and it seemed to be ok, more or less. However, I noticed that my online handle was some randomly generated stuff. Ugh, I said - I want to be Ravenium! I went to change it, yet it was taken, it said.
How could this be, I thought? Aha! I had an old email account from back in the day that must be using it, that must be it, I said. Sure enough, that was the one. I said to myself "ok, I'll switch to that email account and nuke the GFWL account I just made, since it's a bad idea to have duplicate accounts lying around."
Bad idea - I soon realized that when I deleted the MSN Live email, my serial # died with it. I am now no longer able to play online.
I tried remaking the live acct - no such luck, different GUID. I tried contacting GFWL support, they said to try Valve or that I'd have to buy another copy of the game (???). I tried Valve and they (rightfully) said that they don't do support for the game and it's Capcom's issue. I've got a support ticket in, but if it fails I'm out of options.
Anyone got any other ideas? I just want one working serial number for the one copy of the game I purchased, so that I can play online. Needless to say, I'll never delete an account again!
