    Hazar, obviously I am stoopid as I cannot get your programme to run properly?
    I run it and it just sits there with a green band about half way along and does nothing?
    I started it as an Admin but I am for sure missing something here?
    Is it supposed to take a long time? I left it for 10 mins and nothing, I brought up
    the Task manage and shut it down, gives an error about cmd then reboots but nothing
    has happened. :(
    Please help? :D

    That's not supposed to happen. The patching should just take some seconds...

    omg, people still use that awrful program? no offence but get a free anti virus app. Like Avast or Avira, Norton is a terrible piece of software, always has been and always will be. Kill it now!

    [Hazar] :p, can you please make available a 'readme' file separately to the RWAT exe that we curious may peruse thru? I am currently curious as to RWAT's significant increase in size (v2.1 was 244kb zipped, vs v2.24 which is a 3743kb exe), and what all the extra features do/undo/fix etc. Thanks muchly! :)

    Not a good idea IMO as i'm sure the Microsoft bots scan this thread looking for how he does it. I would rather he keep that info to himself.

    LMFAO not real name on the forums please.

    The increase in size is down to the new packed user32.dll's instead of just editing the watermark MUI

    I used v2.1 about 3 months to remove WAT and worked perfectly! I have now downloaded v2.2.4 and ran it. But I can only choose the remove WAT option and other is greyed out.

    What should I do?

    Nope I applied 2.2.2 on top of 2.2.0 because the Restore option was greyed out. I guess that screwed up everything.

    Fortunately I had 2.1.3 which still had the Restore option so I ran that. Then I ran 2.2.4 and everything worked fine including your Genuine fix. Then I tried running 2.2.4 the Restore option is there.

    In short, no more problems. Thanks Hazar and secr9tos. :)

    Hazar,
    nice work, as pretty always, but...
    is that so hard to modify just the First Line in your OP adding there what's actually the version for the d/ling Link ?
    It's surely interesting to have the same Link to d/l it, but modifying a Line in that Line it's just a 3 seconds time-consuming operation... :p and people will always know
    if they've the last revision just by reading the first line of the OP... Don't you agree ?!?
