why does say test mode when its it a genuine copy

[Pantz]

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.

Did you have a prior version installed?

i did a "custom clean install" upgrade from XP

Somehow, you got test mode activated. It doesn't mean your copy of W7 is not genuine. You can turn off Test Mode by typing bcdedit /set testsigning off in an elevated command prompt and hitting the enter key. That should cause the test mode watermark to disappear.
