Hi Guys,
I have Vista Ultimate 32bit and recently installed SP1 RC1. A few days ago I installed a hard drive and had to reset my BIOS to get things to run. On reboot I set the date to Jan 6 2007 instead of 8 and booted to the windows desktop. I realized the error when Kaspersky warned me of the problem and so I rebooted and fixed the problem.
Well since then I noticed that the watermark on the bottom right of the screen which told me I was running an evaluation copy of vista rc1 is gone and I cant open my control panel or windows update etc. It's almost like rc1 has expired, although it does not explicitly say that.
Does anyone know how to fix this, I realy dont want to have to reinstall the OS. I was hoping to be able to remove SP1 from the add remove programs CP but I cant get it to open either.
Help.
