VLK and OEMBIOS changer...

Yes did that also, I see the apps running, I can not see anything that I dont have, or not in the right place. The only other tool is the vlk to oem image in that first page, which is not mentioned at all for use, and if going to the thread for that, states that is outdated and should be using now oem changer..

what am i missing here, ( ive been up all night with new born, please cut me some slack )

EDIT: got it working, seems it was misisng the msvcr71.dll and i used the vlk to oem changer - ( i thought that was for corp installs oh well ) anyhow seems to work and it let me update..

going back to sleep now

 

when you run OEMBIOS changer installer.exe it gives you the option to install to c:\ just do that

then go to C:\OEMBIOS changer folder and copy your oembios files either compressed or uncompressed to appropriate folders.

now run oem.exe a screen should come up example:

Code:

     *********************************************************************
             VLK to OEM Conversion Program---OEMBIOS Changer

                 With AntiWPA3 Activation Patch option
     *********************************************************************

                              Welcome George

                    Operating System Version Detected:

    Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7600]

                The PID for this OS version is 00000270


        This program will change out OEMBIOS files for other OEM

           manufacturers as well as change VLK installs to OEM.

        If you need OEMBIOS files to place in the Oembios folder

        you can download them and replace the ones in the folder.


     If the OEMBIOS files you download are compressed as OEMBIOS.BI_

      just put them in the appropriate folder and run the VLK_TO_OEM

                              executable.


                           Enjoy the program!!!!

Press any key to continue . . .

Just press any key


on next screen i would press option one to make sure you do have SLP string in DMI area and it will tell you what oembios file you need if you have not already downloaded them.

if you have SLP string and have added the oembios files then select 5. OEMBIOS changer dialog.

next screen appears:

Code:

     *********************************************************************
          *********************************************************

          Be sure you placed the OEMBIOS files in the correct folder...

             Uncompressed files in uncompressed oembios files folder

             Compressed OEMBIOS in the Compressed Oembios Folder

       You can backup the activation files in case you need to revert back


           ********************************************************
     *********************************************************************



                Be sure the oembios files are in the correct folder.


                1-- Backup dialog for saving backups and restoring from backup

                2-- Decompress oembios files then change them.

                3-- Just change the oembios files. (already decompressed)

                4-- Exit the changer program

now make your selection .

 

All links on Thread #1 are down. Any Chance this can be reuploaded?

Thanks,

 

Any problem running OEMBIOS Changer with Windows running in safe mode?

The situation:
I have a hard drive with an existing XP Pro Install activated for ASUS OEM, and want to move that hard drive to a new computer/motherboard without re-installing Windows (not a great idea I know- but it's already been prepped for the switch). The new BIOS has been problematic with Andy's tools and full ASUS SLIC 2.1 modded bin, so since I'm just running XP on this machine- I'm going to use the DMI Tattoo CD and update the DMI with Hewlett-Packard string. On reboot that gives me the "this copy of Windows needs to be activated Y/N" screen, so I need to boot in safe mode without networking then run the OEMBIOS changer to change Windows to Hewlett-Packard OEM from ASUS.

Thanks....

 

Works absolutely fine, good for when you can not login to XP due to activation

sebus

 

Thanks.... that's exactly what I wanted to hear

 

Worked as planned from safe mode... Windows activated again!

 

which are the best between WGA cracked or OEMBIOS changer?????
I need to activate my xp sp3 pro vlk.

 

but I am newbie and new comer in this forum..
I dont know how to use OEMBIOS changer....
I have windows XP SP3 VLK

 

Start by going to page one of this thread download the tool run it to

if you have Slp string then download appropriate oem bios files if no SLP string then download HP DMI tatoo cd from stickiesgo from there all the infotmation needed is available in stickies section.

 

hi guys,
at first I wanna say many thanks to 911medic, that make every effort to builded a good tool.
btw, if you plan a new update, so I wanna tell you...
I found ERROR in line 597, 836, 1494 in the OEM.CMD.SRC

I am once again.
I used the OEMBIOS changer and got a little problem.
I don't know, but I had not the entrie in the registrie...
[HKLM\SYSTEM\Setup\Pid]

therefore as I look in the registrie after the tool finish and the pc reboot...
I saw everywhere in 'ProductId' = ~0,5%-OEM....
well I have change this with the first 5 numbers from my old PID (found in Setupp.ini)
but one entrie I could not change...
[HKLM\SYSTEM\WPA\Key-3HFYCVKFXVR6VJM823DM9]
ProductId =

what can I do now. (maybe I don't see the wood of a lot of tree not more)
I hope somebody can help me. Thanks a lot...

Berno

btw, maybe you can make a test line in the OEM.CMD.SRC where you ask for PID
old (line 18)

Code:

::PID Values
FOR /F "tokens=3 delims= " %%A IN ('REG QUERY "HKLM\SYSTEM\Setup\Pid" /v Pid') DO SET Pid=%%A
SET finalvar=%Pid:~0,5%
SET rvom=%Pid:~0,9%

new

Code:

::PID Values
FOR /F "tokens=3 delims= " %%A IN ('REG QUERY "HKLM\SYSTEM\Setup\Pid" /v Pid') DO SET Pid=%%A
IF '%Pid%'=='' THEN GOTO Error 
SET finalvar=%Pid:~0,5%
SET rvom=%Pid:~0,9%

:Error
echo Don't find PID entrie in registrie by [HKLM\SYSTEM\Setup\Pid]

this is only a suggestion

 

thanks for quickly reply.

I have XP-Pro with service-pack 2
I already had take that. but unfortunately after I have used your tool, coz I didn't notice that before that this reg-key was missed.
I could replace all reg-key 'ProductId' = '~0,5%-OEM-....' with '55274-OEM-....' ('PID' = '55274OEM')
but only the one...
[HKLM\SYSTEM\WPA\Key-3HFYCVKFXVR6VJM823DM9]
'ProductId' = '~0,5%-OEM-....'
... I could not replace.
I get the message: ProductId can not be change. Error at write the value. possibly you don't have the rights for to change the value.

my question, can I use your tool once again, so that it would write the right entrie, or shall I do restore my backup of harddisk and then when I have writen the PID entrie I use your tool.
or give it an other posible?

thanks a lot

Berno
