Did you install the Beta Service Pack 1?

I think it was the early beta version that I installed when it first came out

Then that is what is expiring. You need to uninstall it quickly!

As Gordon says, uninstall SP1 promptly. All beta copies expire tomorrow.
Afterwards give Windows Update a chance to bring you up to date. It will
keep offering pre-requisite updates and then finally offer SP1.
