    what i did with the Update KB971033; is to HIDE it on the update lists.. i dunno if they (M$) will force it in, like install it without us knowing... but thats what i did... so far is didnt asked me again.

    and i also didnt know if some similar updates are out there.... tho i havent tried verifying the authenticity of my OS.

    Hi guys, bit of a situation here.

    I used a faulty removerWAT22 earlier on. After 6 days of hard work i finally had all the trojans and s**t removed from the comp. Downloaded the version here from the forum and...
    It doesnt work. I ran the .exe file and it says WAT was already removed. Which is odd cause my comp hasthe familiar 2hour run crash. So i thought hey, lets reinstall the WAT and then remove it again. After doing that its still in evaluation mode.
    Why doesnt it work, and what could i do to make it work?

    Thanks in advance,

    Cove

    RTM = Release to manufacturing. Its the finished version of windows.

    You can get it there, yes. Be sure to format your hard drive and do a clean install

    You don't. Upgrading from a pre-release to a final build is rarely a good idea. Or never.
    Do a clean install.

    Upgrade I meant update not literally the upgrade function.


    Format your HDD and install clean RTM

    allright, i think that cleared it abit.
    So when i format my HDD and not the partition the update is on i still am able to run the update. Next q: after i installed the update and the removeWAT22, i probably get the updates for windows including the KB971033 something update that blocks the WAT remover.
    What do i have to do to avoid that?

    Ok, so all i do is... Format HDD, reboot, mount the image, run setup, reboot, remove WAT, reboot, runs like a charm?

    Part 1: format HDD doesnt run, error: windows is installed on this, formatting this will likely make your computer inoperable.

    Cant format HDD, what should i do next?

    Does external harddrive work aswell? Got no DVD's to burn around here. And tbh, never burned an ISO on a DVD before.
