My Windows Vista Premium just changed into Basic

So I was just on my PC when out of nowhere, my Vista Premium changed into Basic. It just... changed. I realized this a few minutes later when pretty much nothing was customizable for me. My sidebar died, and everything set to default. Is this a bug? Help? Is this totally odd?

Hello jaxqueline.

I would recommend calling M$, because this seems like an activation error. You could also open up your system menu, and click "Change Product Key" and re-enter your key.

To make sure that it really became Basic, press and hold the Windows Key + Pause Key (to open system properties). It should say what version youre running.
