Suddenly a Legitimate copy became -"Evaluation copy of Windows 7"

Suddenly a Legitimate copy became -"Evaluation copy of Windows 7" ??

In February 2010 I've bought in PCW (then) shop a legitimate
copy of Windows 7 Professional which I've installed (?) probably
over the evaluation copy of Win 7 then. Now suddenly I've
experienced quite unpleasant circumstances. First the
information started to appear saying that:
"Windows 7 evaluation copy. Build 7601."
Then;
"This is an evaluation copy of Windows 7.
Backup your data because Windows 7 will stop
working in two days." and so on...
Then suddenly "Windows 7 evaluation copy. Build 7601."
went into reboot twice so far.

Could that be a bug or case of installation
of Windows 7 Professional over the Beta
evaluation copy?
.......
When I went to the "Activate" it says
that Activation was successful.
But the inscription in right bottom corner:
"Windows 7 evaluation copy. Build 7601." -
is still there.

I'd appreciate any advice or sharing experience
with me - THANKS !

Latest message of "Windows Activation" reapeared;

"This pre-release version of Windows 7 Professional will expire in 0 hours
To keep using Windows, back up your files, and then install any edition of
Windows 7 Professional."

When I activated this version I was informed:
"Activation was successful" and Windows
went working without rebooting.

Anybody else hate the way Windows Live Mail v15 handles quoting in
newsgroups? Why can't they stay with accepted standards?

No one will argue with you there - WLM is totally diabolical. All we can
do is try to talk people out of using it, or filter out all mail written
with it.

Tried it once and didn't like the non standard behaviour so went back
to Forte Agent.

Any thread that has people using WLM for any post is, in my opinion,
not adhering to accepted standards, so this original question is OT
anyway... in my opinion. And that, IS another one of my pet peeves. I
promise, I'll never hijack another thread as long I as live. ::evil
look::

You should contact Microsoft support and describe your problem.
Certain issues with the OS, should be handled for free, like
your OS being broken by a Windows Update, a Service Pack, or
if there are activation issues (such as you're having). It's
possible a recent Windows Update associated with invalidating
hacked copies of Windows, has done this to you.

If it was me (as an amateur), my options would be:

1) System Restore to an earlier date. This probably won't help,
as System Restore is probably specifically designed not to
"re-validate" an OS if a problem has been detected. So I
wouldn't bet money on this being an option at this time.
The odds of it fixing the problem, are close to zero.

2) Backup the C: partition, and run the System Update Readiness Tool.
It's supposed to have some basic consistency checking logic.
If it damages something, simply restore from your backup image.
You'd run the Windows 7 version (x86 is for a 32 bit OS install,
while x64 is for a 64 bit OS install). That tool should be able
to recognize things in the "store" that don't belong there.

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/947821

But if you want a solution faster, talk to Microsoft Support.
They take a credit card, for regular software problems, but they
should be able to support things like Windows Update induced problems,
or Activation problems, for free (as they caused them...).

Just phone them up and say "you broke my OS..." :-)

HTH,
Paul

Your reasoning is way of.
I have a legal copy of Windows7 Ultimate and it says build 7601.
