test mode windows 7 build 7600

hello everyone, this is the first issue i have had with windows 7. i have
been running windows 7 flawlessly for the past couple of week, all programs
and games installed without a hitch, today i had to do a restore to a
earlier time for today. i have a genuine copy of windows 7 ( verified in
system in control panel ) and it is activated ..after the restore i noticed
it was sayin "test mode windows 7 build 7600" in the bottom right hand side,
(simular to a water mark) why would it say that after the restore, when its
it a genuine copy ? and how can i remove it ?

Thanks in advance.

You'll probably need to re-activate it.

I saw this happen after I used BCDedit to set test signing on for a driver that
was test signed that I needed to install for testing. Once I installed the
released signed driver, this resolved itself.

You mention needing to do a restore. Why did you need to do the restore?
