    Thanks for the reply. :) I guess I need to restore the WAT. Hope the Restore WAT bug can be fixed. It's still grey. Thanks!

    I have a similar experience, tho i'm using specifically > Virtual Hard Drive (VHD) Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise x64 running it off dual-boot win7 ent. all icons on the desktop disappear, with only removewat 2.2 running. Half way thru (roughly 50% of the bar) it gets stuck. Pressing the power button will shutdown the server tho. Removewat does not seem like doing anything, and i waited for more than half an hour...

    Cheers

    I have updated this to 2.2.3 :D

    It should fix the server 2008 R2 crash, and now has no watermark issues and the watermark will not come back if you switch language (thanks secr!)

    Also now contains code to "immunize" you against the WAT update ;)

    This goes badly for me Hazar. I'm not sure if I patched with Daz Loader or Hazar 7 Loader, it seems so long ago now! Both are beyond me when it comes to which "is best" they're both superb as far as I'm concerned and both you guys rock. (Actually think I used Daz Loader to Patch and 7 Loader to do some OEM stuff! lol!).

    Anyway, I'm Windows 7 64 Bit activated through OEM (has a 00426-OEM at the beginning?). When I used the RemoveWAT it seemed to go OK, but then I rebooted and got an error about the Windows Scheduler Helper Service not starting, followed by a cascade of other services not starting after it. I rebooted several times just to check it wasn't some kind of "windows prefetch catchup" causing the problem. Same.

    When I tried to remove the RemoveWAT using the uninstall option included, I got exactly the same error messages on reboot (so it didn't reverse correctly either). In the end I had to resort to a system restore that I did before trying RemoveWAT. I was fully backed up with Acronis anyway. Still living in fear of the February M$ update though and Daz doesn't seem to have commented on his thread yet. Fingers crossed here. Good luck lads.

    Hi! It works the same way the 2.2.2 version is: it stucks at near half progress bar. One of the previous version activates win2008r2 fo 10 days long (Grace Days = 10 type 5)

    If i launch removewat in silent mode during windows setup, i think that the program starts explorer.exe before the system finish the execution of setupcomplete.cmd

    Infact at the first startup the logged user is SYSTEM and windows is very very slow.
    To fix it i nead to restart the system.


    PS: i solved killing explorer by setupcomplete.cmd after cracking and before system starts.

    To be exact, only x86 apps were affected by this, native x64 programs not.

    Thanks for the update. But I still can't Restore the WAT :(. I think I need to Restore WAT so the Genuine patch updates properly.
