Is there any way to crack it?

Not really and be legal. If you have your data backed-up then I recommend that you re-install the non-demo version of windows and restore your data. It is possible to crack it, but that could also lead to system in-stability.

You may not have actually installed the eval version. The boot floppy disks used for your installation of Windows NT may have been created from a Windows NT 4.0 evaluation CD-ROM.

When you use boot floppy disks from an evaluation copy of Windows NT the trial period for that installation of Windows NT is invoked. When the trial period has expired, Windows NT stops every hour. Even though you may have used the full retail version CD.

See Q173507 for information on how to correct this problem.
