Hey guys New to this forum i have an older system with winxp sp3 i need to remove the WAT can anyone provide a tool or method please ! kinda need it within 4 days before i get locked out! Thanking everyone in advance! Zap140
Hi, Hope somebody can help! I have now installed Windows 7. Should I now allow Windows to download automatic updates, after I've installed the Remove Wat?
@ charis_r Let me explain u the whole thing. RemoveWAT disables the activation technology of Windows. For re-enabling this technology, RemoveWAT has a option, though it is not sufficient for completely undo the changes. Then DAZ wrote a tiny program [WATFix] to completely undo the changes and convert Windows to its default stage. Hazar asuured us that the next version of RemoveWAT has the ability to undo the chnages completely without any other program(s)......
OK. Thanks for the explanation. So, in my case, I don't know if removeWAT was used to bypass the activation from the guy who uploaded the torrent i used to install windows 7. As far as i can tell he might used this program, but i accidentally downloaded and installed an update that checks if windows is genuine and that (i think) made the problem. It' curius now because i made a system restore at a point before the installation of this update. Now it's not installed, but my windows still warn me that my copy is fake and everytime i go into windows the windows updates pops up and says that updates are available. I have chosen to ask me before it installs them but now that it's downloaded once and installed (before i ran the system restore) it stays there and tells me to install it. Anyway i think i will run the removeWAT and see what happens. If everything goes wrong i may re-install windows and this time i will choose to download manually the updates so i will not install the windows genuine updates.
Well reading back through your posts I missed this in your first post!! Seems to me that RW2.1 never did get installed like your uploader at pirate was leading you to believe!! If you don't get the RestorWAT option then it never got installed in the first place, and that is the reason your getting the not genuine thing. Your 30 days are up!! After 30 days if you do not activate then you become None Genuine. You may just as well go ahead and use the new RW225 and see what happens!! Hopefully your uploader has not screwed up any files and RW225 will work for you. If it does not then save the heartache and reformat. I don't think that the Wat Fix posted by Daz will do anything for you because it is designed to restore files that RW has taken out. Since RW21 was never used then there should be nothing removed.
Ok, I tried to install the updates and got this error message now, what should I do? "Some updates were not installed Restart now to finish installing updates Succeeded: 25 updates Failed: 5 updates Error(s) found: Code 800F0902 Windows update encountered an unknown error. Restart now"
@ timesurfer mine says something abt SP1 and wants to restart. can it be uninstalled before it installs itself?
IR4 can be unistalled anytime. Is that what you mean? Or are you talking aobut RW. Please ask IR4 questions in IR4 thread
All I can say is Hazar should support his thread more and I hope his new build is coming soon. IR4 works well with RTM in stickies. Maybe take the time to re-install then use daz loader, ODIN or whatever til Hazar releases new RW Respect..
@samie: Jesus, just install the updates and restart the computer. This is a normal windows process, sometimes there is an error with the updates and they get reinstalled at another time. Don't worry about the security update, that is nothing to do with your WAT. Don't worry about the failed update, windows will just re-try that later. There are no windows updates that you need to avoid that conflit/remove removeWAT, so man up already!!!! Next time, maybe you should ask your mum before you make 8+ posts of the same basic question!!
