[OUTDATED / UNSUPPORTED] RemoveWAT

Watermark cannot appear if RemoveWAT was able to replace user32.dll with the patched one.

 

Spent the whole afternoon reading all the threads and found this thread #1516. Think I could just forget about uninstalling KB971033 from now since it will keep on auto download to my system. I also run restore WAT the remove WATonce again after KB971033 has been auto installed (Wat folder and its content still in system32 though).

 

The way to prevent KB971033 from auto-installing is to go in to Windows update, right click on it, and say "hide update." Once it's hidden, it will not install, even when auto-updates are turned on. Also, MS has said that KB971033 is and always will be a totally optional update.
Yes, RemoveWAT does install KB971033 for you despite whether or not you've taken measures to avoid it from being updated by MS. Initially I wasn't too happy about this because I was going throught he trouble of avoiding the update altogether.
However, Hazar included it, presumably, because if KB971033 is installed AFTER RemoveWAT is run, it will cause your copy of windows to become invalid. By installing KB971033 before, RemoveWAT can safely disable it so you never have to worry about it again.
So it's a pre-emptive strike. You won't have to worry about KB971033 being installed or updated later on if Windows thinks it's already there, even though it has been removed by RemoveWAT.

I've had no issues with the way it works now (installs KB971033, then RemoveWAT does it's thing.) I'm running the official Windows 7 32 bit. ulitimate. I installed it, did all of the updates, then did RemoveWAT.

 

RF9, thank you very much for clearing up my doubts. Really appreciate that

Well I'm not sure why watermarks does suddenly appear over my desktop sometimes when opening control panel. Think it has something to do with user32.dll as said by secr9tos. Rerun removeWAT does however fix the issue, but watermark will appear again sometimes. Hopefully this will not cause any trouble when the 30 days expiration date is over.

Thanks Hazar, thanks everyone who works on the removeWAT tool.

 

i have a problem with latest removeWAT it seem to be that he want allow me to download things from microsoft downloads meaing i restored wat installed KB971033 used removeWAT again and all is fine except when i try do download things from microsoft downloadns have you taken this up to considuration in the programming of this crack?

Hi guys, firstly thanks for all the hard work that everyone puts in... I am having the same dillems as aviramof... I am trying to install something from the microsoft website, however, it says my computer fails validation... not sure what to do... any help would be greatly appreciated thanks again

 

i cant find my kb971033 update what could happen to it??

 

maybe it's hidden but you can manually download it just search google.

 

I cannot seem to restore WAT. The only option I have is to Remove WAT and then my computer restarts, afterwards, I try the RemoveWAT program again and the only option again is to Remove WAT. The program is working perfectly fine and I am past the 30 day trial and still running smooth, but I would like to try something that requires Restoring WAT and I can't do it...

Sorry, My bad !!
seems that my server version wasn't R2 after all..

Can somebody explain what exactly is this new KB971033 update and what problems could cause if you're running a pirate windows using loader or removeWat???

 

Regarding removeWAT, does it activate windows, either?

 

RemoveWAT does NOT activate Windows 7. It removes all nags, etc which allows u to use windows after the initial grace period

 

Yes, but u can update windows as a genuine activated one, so where's the difference?

 

I have a problem with the refusal of access for the path .NET Framework.

What am I supposed to do?
