    I don't understand. After use RWAT 2.25 microsoft online check will be successful?
    I use RWAT from version 2.0 to last 2.25. Each time when there is a new version i use it.
    Now my version is 2.25, and i try for an experiment to check online microsoft validaton.
    After installation of their ActivX and verification genuine check said "non genuine".

    PLEASE HELP! System wont boot after RemoveWAT22

    What files does RemoveWAT22 modify on my system?

    I applied RemoveWAT22 to my system last night and the system wont boot. I tried fixmbr and lots of other commands but it still cant boot.

    I have now removed my boot harddrive to another system and will try to manually replace some of the files to restore my system to "Before RemoveWAT22" state..This is my last solution I can think of before I have to re-install windows and 100's of applications

    OR

    Is there a way to roll back RemoveWAT22

    Please help!!

    Hi, guys. I was just wondering since I just found out you made a new version Hazar, which is 2.2.5. Umm, can I just use RemoveWAT 2.2.4 to restore WAT and then not restarting PC and then use RemoveWAT 2.2.5?

    In my case, the new WGA was installed (Auto Update), then once in a while, a nag screen will pop-up and shows that my Windows is not Genuine.
    Then I did not uninstall the old crack (v 2.1.3.1) but just over-ride with this new version (v 2.25) and reboot. Looking good now. Un-install that infamous KB and now ready to rumble again.

    Thanks Hazar.

    Its common sense, but make sure you do a full backup AND verify / validate image of your system before you apply any RemoveWAT / patch:rolleyes:


    RemoveWAT22 worked perfectly on my W7 RC 7100 32bit (so far, so good) but made a mess of my 7137 build 64bit...The system wouldnt boot past the loading screen. Took me a whole day to get everything back to where it was, prior to running this patch..I tried many things in the command prompt but nothing would give.


    Im sure this is not the most efficient way of fixing the problem, but it worked for me. If anyone comes across this problem, This is how I got myself fixed:


    1. Remove your OS drive / SSD and plug into another system. (Not as the boot drive)

    2. Go through your OS files, delete all the entries with the "Date Modified" that correspond to the date & time you run the patch / RemoveWAT

    3. Re-connect your OS drive / SSD back into your system as it was before.

    4. Insert the W7 disc and run the repair option. Win7 should replace the files you deleted in step2 and get everything back to normal.

    5. If you said your prayers, W7 should now boot correctly and everything should now be back to normal.


    Im not having a dig at Hazar or any of the guys that bring us the patches & solutions. Just a heads up to make sure no one has these problems & ends up wasting a load of time trying to come up with a fix.

    Full respect to Hazar and all the guys that dedicate their time to bring these solutions to the table :worthy:

    7057 problem

    Hi guys, is remove WAT intended to work on 7057? I installed and after rebooting, windows would not boot in normal or safe modes. Instead I booted into the "windows repair" interface. First it tried to repair my windows installation but failed. Upon next boot I was asked if I would like to go back to an earlier restore point, but got a memory error. Next time I was booted into a screen with several options (repair windows files, restore earlier system image, try system restore, DOS prompt, memory error). Neither the "repair windows files" or "system restore" were doing anything for me. For some reason after rebooting several times, I was prompted "would you like to do a system restore," answered "no" and the system immediately started trying to repair windows system files, for around 15 minutes, much longer than it had before. At this point I had a cracked copy of windows 7 DVD in the drive, don't remember it accessing it, but I'm not sure what else was different than before - system tried different repair processes?? This time was actually successful and I was able to boot back into windows. However, now I have the watermark "Windows 7 Evaluation Copy. Buil;d 7057.winmain.090305-2000 This copy of Windows is not genuiine" However I have not been getting the expiration notices.

    Questions 1) Do I need to do anything from this point, to be able to continue using windows past June 1st?
    2) I have a cracked copy of windows 7 ultimate, could I perform a successful upgrade to this?

    Thanks hazar and all the other computer pimp warriors.

    Hi,
    So what happens if after I run RemoveWAT 2.2.5 and then go to MS Website and run the Genuine tool?
    Would It tell me it's genuine or would it just not run?

    Hi..
    Quick question...Is the validation of Windows 7 the same as Windows XP?
    What I mean is that...I remember that as long as you didn't register your copy of XP, you could use the same Serial on other PCs. Is this the same with Windows 7 or once you input the product key it will get registered automatically?

    I cant say for sure, but I would imagine that MS learnt their lesson from XP and have made the registration side of W7 more robust... saying that the activation side of it seems simple enough like it was on XP thanks to the guys in this community..
