In my windows7 Ultimate, I used wat2.2 to remove the KB971033, now recently I purchased a genuine windows7 ultimate OEM, then I uninstalled the wat2.2 then went for an online activation, here I am unable to activate windows7 with my original new OEM key. It prompt me some error(sorry I can't recall that error). can anyone help how to activate my windows7 with my new OEM original key. Thanks in advance PK
Can you show a screen of it? I don't know what wat2.2 does but it sounds like to me that it may have tamered with some system files like wat files. The only thing I can think of is either somehow reinstall the wat update(KB971033) and then try to revalidate or you may have to clean install and just activate like normal.
Clean install - simple - Backup your stuff first though ! I'd use a loader and frame the legit COA and hang it on the wall just over the monitor just to get that warm rosy glow that comes from giving M$ a disgustingly large amount of your hard earned reddies.
First of all backup your window directory. then install windows and dont select update windows select customize windows and then format drive and install. then activate it.
