Bad news is, it somehow installed on my machine. Good news is, is that since I was already running RemoveWAT, it still shows I am activated and the slmgr and Opatool checks are not coming up with anything. microsoft.com/genuine is showing that it is not activated, but MSE is still working.
I would just install the RTM and use daz loader both in my signature. Thats the strongest set up I've heard yet! And hide that evil update
Did you mean to reinstall Windows fully? That's very pain. Is it safe to use DAZ loader with my existing installation?
Use the ones from MDL. THey are untouched ISO's. There have been many reports of the BiE versions not working with the WAT.
BIE x64 user here. I downloaded the dreaded update yesterday and have been nagged by the black screen and "Windows is not genuine" messages. But I'm here to confirm that RemoveWAT has gotten rid of the watermarks and nagging messages. All seems back to normal....so nice job Hazar and thanks! My only question is that when I go to my system info screen, where the usual "Windows is activated" message with the installed key underneath is no longer there -- it's just blank. Is this normal? Does RemoveWAT cause this?
So sockd & KTr1sk it seems to work... can u check the hash to verify that it was replaced correctly??
Wanted to ask how long does RemoveWat work, and if it enables all windows functionality, updates etc. I tried to find the answer but too much mess. I'm quite afraid my Windows can get limited easily by online services
I shall upload the "remove watermark" tool if Hazar allows me, as it is his proggy. But so far so good, RWAT 2.2.4, Remove Watermark Tool, MGAdiag reports genuine, no nag on Desktop, and WU works fine.
Hey guys brand new user here. That "Windows 7 not genuine" message/watermark showed up this morning. So far what I've done was uninstall KB971033 & then ran RemoveWAT 2.1. It removed all watermarks and nag messages. However once I right click on the "Computer" icon and select properties, the message where it says my copy is activated is no where to be seen. A person from a another forum claimed that all RemoveWAT did for him was remove the watermarks/nags but it still hasn't been re-activated. Is this person full of it or have others had this problem too? My question is how do I know for sure know that my copy has been RE-activated or not? Is there a simple tool out there that helps me determine this?
Well, sorry to be rude but it does explicitly say on the first post it removes that section from the control panel. It has done it's thing.
happy mouse hunting hazar happy mouse hunting hazar, for future too (i.e. for improving the removewat, i did not intend to hurt M$ spirit :fuyou31: M$ s**t, please do not ban me for telling the truth about M$ s**t or whatsoever)
ok thanks guys, remove wat has worked on 2 of the os's with the non legit mark, however how do I get WAT working if i've been locked out? When loading window's 7 it says preparing desktop then after a while just goes all blue with the watermark in the corner. If i use task manager and open explorer it creates a temporary profile so i can get into desktop but no files are accesible and you can't access my computer, any drives or network. Help!
