    Hello, I'm using RemoveWAT 2.2.5 and i don't have the WAT update installed on my PC, but still , on the desktop appears the message (This copy of Windows is not Genuine). What should I do?

    Maybe you have to rearm like it says in repository before use of removeWAT

    Can you be more specific as to in what order you did things regarding window 7 install and all activation attempts and so on. Thanks

    If a watermark appears on desktop the patching went wrong, in case a window pops up and tells u that win7 is not genuine it's very strange behavior. Anyway u can try the following:

    1.) RestoreWAT
    2.) Run
    Code:
     sfc /scannow
    from an elevated command prompt, wait until it has done its work and restart.
    3.) Download latest RemoveWAT and apply again

    How to tell if W7 is activeted after removewat ?

    Hi all this is prolly a noob whine but.. I am running daz 1.7.7. With the Win7 from the repo. Installed networking and disabled install of the WAT update of death. Did an update and got everything it seems. Ran removewat ,now I am seariously confused. As removewat gets rid of the wat stuff in control panel, how can I tell if indows is activated and all. The fact that it's working could be accidental. (would be just my luck). I am playing around on a extra disk on a lenovo t42. If it's really working , ime really impressed.:eek:

    This is interesting!? You say your running daz 1.7.7 with the "repo" ISO. But your also running removeWAT. Just do one or the other. Sounds like you also hid the WAT update.

    To tell if activated uninstall removeWAT:)...lol

    removewat + daz1.7.7 ?

    You are correct. I hid the WAT thing. If I understand you .. I don't need the loader (1.77) if I ran remove WAT ? I am guessing that the bloody OS will timeout on me without the loader is that right? Sorry to be such a chicken **** but W7 is SOO much better then VISTa I dont want to crush it if I can avoid it. o_O Been noodling around all weekend on it.

    You mean the rearm hack? Wouldn't that require me to re-install the whole OS?

    nice one... made me laugh really!
    but one serious question...
    ones i have taken my blue pill for example... then experience gas..
    can i take the red pill after puking?!

    without the reinstallation digestion?!

    by the way... i dont have any probs with the first update of RemoveWAT. i guess that would be 2.1 ive been using it since its release... tho i have restricted the WAT update from M$. its still good to go.. no humps or bumps on my other PC.

    if you can remember i was the one who had trouble with the M$ update KB971033. installed on Win7 7264 without noticing that it was an RTM 7264 version... so i reinstalled and used the latest DAZ loader, its fine at the moment.. thanks!
