Vista activation

Barnard17 · 06-20-2009, 03:43 AM

If it's not activated it won't download updates and won't let you keep a desktop background. Every time you startup windows it'll make you wait 15 seconds before it'll load and occasionally has intrusional message telling you to activate. Other than that I haven't had a problem.

Only reason I'm in this situation is because one of my HDs failed (I use RAID) so I had to remove it and format the remainder. When I reinstalled it decided my copy of windows was in use already (as in, on my computer as is now plus one now faulty hard drive) and told me I needed to activate within a month. One month later not a great deal really happened, and I refuse to pay premium rate phonecalls so that a microsoft employee infront of a switchboard can tell me there's not really much I can do except for buy a new version of windows. So **** 'em.

eh, do you have the crack yet? If not I can probably get one for you, not sure but I don't want to waste the time if you already have the crack.

I don't but I've decided to download the OEM version which supposedly should be activation free...:\

No, it has a different activation code but it's not activation free.

Adidasss, you shouldn't expect solid and consistent support in regards to finding the most honest and proper hack for something like that. It will be trial and error just finding a crack that isn't a virus.
