Do u know how is got "pre-activated"? Loader, RemoveWAT, Chew7?? Btw.. I would recommend to download untouched isos instead of those things....
maybe uninstalling WAT and re-arming windows... or you can try this before re-install win: 1 Use the windows's DVD 2 enter in repair PC 3 go to console and type this: bootsect.exe /nt60 all bootrec /fixmbr bootrec /fixboot bootrec /rebuildbcd this will clean all the loaders you had installed. 4 Install remove wat- 5reboot 6 install vista7ldr 2.4.8(in forceful mod) 7reboot 8 uninstall removewat I tried this on vmware and worked. Remember to do the online validation after doing this. Good luck
Sounds like you need to rearm to 30 days so read the repository for instructions. Then uninstall loader you used reboot then install daz loader 1.7.7
It doesn't matter if your days run out. You can run Windows indefinitely in its current state and it won't get any worse as far as the user experience. With Vista SP1, and Windows 7 RTM, they just go into nagware mode.
Btw im Ankaku808, (forum cudnt let me log in for some reason..) , and ive done those 1-8 steps of what cba1936 told me. and I got the above picture..i dont know if im doing it wrong or if im on the right track, I dont think i would need to rearm, since "remove WAT " is running. so im preety much stuck @ those parts and still needing more help =/ oh and Ive already uninstalled the "WAT KB#####" update and hid it for good.
IMO, your best bet would be to reinstall windows 7 using an untouched iso, preferably from this forum. That way you'll be sure you are using the original stuff without any activators. You already have SLIC 2.1 in your bios. After clean installing win7, use the same Omdhar loader and install the correct cert and key and you'll be activated. After that rerun validation.
