Hello, I have a new Intel i7 920 CPU and a new Intel DX58SO motherboard. I have tried numerous Vistaloaders but none seems to work on my system while they work fine on older computers I have here. I think it has to do something with SLIC not available or so... I know you people ask to create an Acpiscope report but that Acpiscope program doesn't seem to work on a 64bit Vista... I tried the suggestion about disabling "driver signing enforcement" by pressing F8 at start and to run it as Admin but I still receive an error "Driver failed to start". Can you do something with the image I took of my ACPI in Everest (in attachment)? I also tried the Wow5-tool but then I'm receiving an error after the last reboot: "Your program caused a divide overflow error. If the problem persists, contact your program vendor. The following file is missing or corrupt: Command.com. Type in the command of the Command Interpretor (e.g. c:\windows\command.com)". I'm not able to boot anymore when I install the Wow5-tool. Can someone please help me and explain me what I can do to finally get my Vista Ultimate activated? I'm searching and trying for several days almost fulltime now to get my Vista activated Thanks a lot in advance!
You will probably have to use the wow loader. If it doesnt work as is, upload an .ats report to the thread for development of WOW. Yen and Flagmax are the genius' behind the project. Very good to work with As of now, no way to manipulate these bios..AFAIK
Is there anyone yet who has been able to Activate Vista with the new Intel I7-processor and an Intel motherboard? I have a new Intel i7 920 CPU and a new Intel DX58SO motherboard. A few weeks ago, I tried every Vista Loader available and WOW5 but none of them seemed to do the trick... While they worked perfectly on my older pc... Now my 30 days before obligatory activation are almost over... I would really hate it to reinstall everything again... Thanks in advance, Ralph
Indeed, none of the Vista Loaders seem to get the job done on this configuration and neither do the WOW-versions. What do you mean with Bios Mod? Do you mean having my latest bios version modified by someone? Regards, Ralph
It is my understanding that Intel motherboard BIOS' are impossible to mod to add a SLIC to since they are not AMI or Award, but Intel's proprietary BIOS. I have been hoping for a SLIC BIOS solution for my bargain basement $5 Intel D945PVS and $10 D955XBK motherboards, but it seems they will become OSX86 machines or continue to run XP until I put them out to pasture.
An AcpiScope report or at least a Everest overview of the acpi tables would be nice to have a look why wow isn't working. What about latest 6.0.1?
I hope not reduced to using XP, its a crappy gaming OS an I just spent over 2000$ on my new I7 an top of the line 6 gig ram . Why would they deliberately block you from using Vista ? it doesn't make sence at all. Everyone I know has found they cant run vista past the 30 days. Yesterday I formatted it an came up "Validation successful" or something like that, then as soon as I installed LAN drivers an the router came on BAM! back to 30 days. I am worried I just wasted all my money an wont be able to use it without spending 700$ on a vista key with money I don't have. Should I be thinking about taking the machine back an telling them its faulty because you cant run an OS on it ?... Excuse my lack of knowledge on this stuff as I am not a computer expert, only a gamer an getting frustrated at formatting 4 times in a row so far. A friend of mien sugests I use "windows server 2008" but I dont know if this is a stable gaming system ?
How does this WoW activator work? I extracted all files to C drive and it ran the bat file but nothing changed??
