Serious Issue With BSOD

Ok, so i was getting messages that i needed to back up all of my Windows Files and install a new copy of Vista because i had a Pre-Release version or something nuts like that. Anyways, i keep getting BSOD's with the following messages

END_OF_NT_EVALUATION_PERIOD

(Enter generic text telling me about saving my computer, whatever)

***STOP:00098 (0x6F6CA980, 0x01CAD1F7, 0x00000000, 0x00000000


I have NO idea what to do. When i look at my System Properties, it says my copy is Activated. I have Windows Home Basic Service Pack 2 V.286.

I have already tried Activation by Phone, but it did NOTHING for me. I thought it would work but to no avail. What can i do to stop these constant Blue Screens?

***UPDATE***
Well i decided to use my Dads upgrade CD and go from Home Basic to home Premium.. Of course this meant i had to do a Custom Install, and i have to reinstall EVERY SINGLE GAME I HAD. As well as download every single program i used to have (Not many,so no worries) I already dragged everything from the Windows.old Folder into their proper places in the new one and deleted the old one. But just so i don't have to spend AGES trying to reinstall stuff is there any way to get things back to the way they were?

Also, random question. Is there such thing as an IDE cable that supports more then 2 devices?

Hi,
Click start orb and type "winver" in the start search, copy and paste the small window appears.
It looks like an evaluation copy of Vista, did you buy that or it came with the computer.

Thats what it says, but that makes no sense since it shouldn't be an Evaluation copy. Is there any way i can circumvent this? I don't have no effing 300 bucks for a new copy.

Bugcheck 0x98 = the trial period for the Microsoft Windows operating system has ended

The "v2.86" is interesting. . .

See if info in this Microsoft Forums thread applies --> Timed Vista Usage License pre-installed on system?

Regards. . .
