    Hey everyone, I've been daily driving Daz's Windows Loader for about 5 years now and have had a couple problems with it. Every couple months, Windows will de-activate itself and I have to re-open the loader and re-install the product key. Does anyone know what would be causing this? And if it helps, the system is a Dell OptiPlex 745 with a Core 2 Quad and 4GB of RAM on Windows 7 Ultimate x64.

    Well, the number one of the reasons undoing Loader activations is a boot repair. Loader usually sits in the MBR and the Windows boot loader is chained to it. Boot repairs will undo that and remove the Loader from the boot chain. Without the emulated SLIC from the Loader, activation fails.

    kb971033 aka WAT update doesn't undo the loader, it only applies to the old hactivators (corrupting WAT files).
