You may or may not find this informative?...

ah well, who cares really, petrol is way over priced and people pay for it,

Windows CD's are way overpriced, people SHOULD pay for it.

(IN my opinion anyway.)

A mate of mines pc now tells him his version of Windows is'nt genuine now although it is?? Not sure if it's going to deny him access in the near future.

I've had the same bullshit on my computer, and I know mine is legit as I have the fucking CD's sitting on my bookshelf.

Luckily though, all its stopped is me being able to manually search for updates. MS will still send through essential security updates through their automated update thingy which you can set on the control panel.

As long as im safe, im happy. If not, I want a refund from that cunt Bill whatsisname

****************************
Open any folder.
Tools > Folder Options > View and de-select [turn off] ' Simple
file
sharing '.
( You can turn that back on later if you use it)

Find 2 files in c:\windows\system32 folder :-

WgaLogon.dll
WgaTray.exe

Select file.

Right click Properties > Security > Advanced.
Select ' System ' name.
Select ' Edit ' button
Find ' Traverse Folder / Execute ' and tick ' Deny ' box.
'OK' out, and ' Yes ' we want to continue etc.

Windows Update thinks it's installed and continues as if it is.
But no welcome screen badge or systray icon .

Or just install this Windows.Genuine.Advantage.Validation.v1.5.526.0.CRACKED-ETH0.rar

Replace the file in the system32 directory and XP thinks that your copy of XP is legit.

Taken from HERE

I found that file while looking for a way round. Doesn't work. Although I didn't try the version info method.

Before pressing 'Custom' or 'Express' buttons paste this text to the address bar and press enter:

javascript:void(window.g_sDisableWGACheck='all')

It turns off the trigger for the key check.

Thumbs Up

That file doesn't stop the notifications.

It does avoid the validation checks on the site though.

Oh well, there is about 15 solutions on that site, one of them must work.

I'll try the file again, but this time edit the version info. Like you said, with 15 different ways, one has to work at least.

The denying the file access way works perfectly. It's described earlier in this thread.
