Hi, This may be trivial, or covered in other threads, but I couldn't make sence of it all... I cracked my machine using a moded ASUS BIOS. I installed the certificate and all worked fine for months. Then I got the "You may be a victim of software counterfeiting" message and had the reduced functionality mode. I used some post to install timestop I think, and it wokred, even though every hour I got a pop-up warning me vista may be cracked. a couple of months have passed, and now again I'm in reduced functionality mode. How do I get out of the reduced functionality mode? How do I, ehh..., reactivate the BIOS crack thingy? Can I reach a state where I get no more messages? Do I have to reinstall everything to reach that state? Help Grace
