HELP! HELP!! CARELESS SET OF DATE IN CTRL PNL KILLED EVAL PERIOD

[Guest]

In a rare but special moment o utter brain failure, I reset the date on ther
Date and Time control panel to 2003. There is no explanation. I guess it
just felt like 2003.

Anyway, the result is that my XP Pro x64 installation, which I only
installed two days ago, now thinks that my evaluation license has expired and
instructs me to buy the software, which so far as I know is not yet possible.

Please help! I have worked two days solid on this thing and I had just
gotten all of the trouble ironed out.

Set the date correctly and do a clean reinstall.

Yes a clean install.
