| | Problem after Vista SP1 Pre-Beta I have installed the Vista SP1 Pre-Beta(Build 6001.16633) and after I restarted I have the windows version info displayed at the lower right-hand side of my screen. This is no problem, but the problem is that it is showing my Vista as an "evaluation copy". I am using Vista Home-Premium on my Toshiba Satellite A105-S4397 and my Product-Key and Activation are valid. Screenshot below: http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=4t5vgwm All help is appreciated. ![]() |

Look for an uninstall/restore point. -------------------- No man is an island, but then no man is a potato salad either.

| | Re: Problem after Vista SP1 Pre-Beta Well, I was wondering if there was a way just to fix the said issue in general. My laptop is running faster and has had no problems or compatibility problems at all. The strange thing is that my laptop has been restarted at least 4 times since the SP1 install(Sunday). This showed up about 12am EST on Wednesday and I just thought of it a little strange. Well, I guess it will stay as it is for now... Even though I created a restore point right before the update. :P "David A.

| | Re: Problem after Vista SP1 Pre-Beta 6.0.6001.16633 has a time bomb in it. If you check Winver, it will tell you when your copy of Vista will stop working.

| | Re: Problem after Vista SP1 Pre-Beta You should report this through the proper channels set up in the beta program. Most people on this newsgroup do not have access to this and if they do probably can't talk about it. -- Kerry Brown Microsoft MVP - Shell/User http://www.vistahelp.ca "VanillaTbone" <VanillaTbone@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:C0C02583-E2BA-44E3-9216-D006B6131BBB@xxxxxx Quote: >I have installed the Vista SP1 Pre-Beta(Build 6001.16633) and after I > restarted I have the windows version info displayed at the lower > right-hand > side of my screen.
