Thank you but I get the same error Can I ask a question? I used a 'loader" now windows says "activated" I reran the diagnostic tool from earlier , it now says Dell Slic 2.1 how is that possible? could the bios be modified in the windows environment or is this just emulating the real thing?
The loader activated your windows. What i am trying to say is that your bios got modded by someone else (post 1). Some loaders can activate by slic in the bios.
Hard to say, in vista some loaders got blacklisted when sp1 came but some loaders survived even after service pack 2 (vista loader 2/3)
