Why doesn't somebody create a FAQ of the common questions and obvious answers as to why certain people are getting in this thread so it can be made sticky? For instance: what is known so far of what ms is gathering, how M$ is blocking activation, sure recipies for getting flagged, how to bypass the WAT update, and other such questions. Many of the q&a are obvious, but would stop the noob type questions or confusion. Would negate the need for much this thread, which is getting a very repetitive.
I can confirm that updates work when using removeWAT224 (just installed KB915597 from win update) but I am still not happy with the tool yet. Anyway it's a good temporary solution ! Looking forward to a new / alternative loader. (still no luck with daz loader - tried in every mode)
Yeah, uninstall Google Toolbar from Firefox. That s**t's not needed! Is it an actual Retail version, no tricks? Does it cause problems in anything else other than WGA diag?
thats a real retail key. i pass online but not local. i dont know what happened and i use the google toolbar to translate other webpages...
Do you have another retail key you can use to see if that fixes it? My guess for whatever reason either M$ has an issue with WAT or it for some reason blacklisted your key dude. I also found a link on M$ social that was saying something about either having SPP disabled or WAT not registered correctly. Does your diag say anything about "Missmatch" with any of the WAT files?
my msdn key. ive used it once online to activate. then used token restore to back up then i just restored it again and now its fine... i really dont know what i did this time. i was playing dirt2 then started coding another app.
If I install a fresh copy (bie release x64 integrated feb) with the daz loader and skip the KB971033 update I should be fine right ?
