Oh wow, you rock! I could not get Win7 working on my lappy even tho it’s a legit version. Despite a few hiccups with the crack it’s now up and running and I’m 100% pleased! Thanks again!

PS: Isn’t DRM “Digital Rights Management” and not Digital Restrictions Management? Or was that an in joke and me just having a blonde day?

i don’t have a slmgr.vbs file, so it looks like hours of backing up and then a return to factory settings for me. Again. Thanks, Microsoft!

No, or the hack would be removed and your windows would be deactivated again. You can delete the .exe file if you like though? It’s not really something that is “installed” as such.

DRM equasl digital restrictions management.. designed to keep the rich rich and the poot poor. the more DRM is incorporated, tlhe more people will trive to find workarounds. have you noticed how the life cycle of each iteration of windows is getting shorter?

Interesting to note tho, my Pc has since had the pop up occasionally telling me it isn’t activated. But, once i close that window, and check the status it tells me it’s activated. So for now i think i’ll just leave it. I don’t have any of the problems that come with the non activated W7, i just get the occasional pop up.

Could be a result of a newer update to combat this – but you say 7 Loader works now? Good to know, thanks Honky.

Ok so i installed and everything was good, but once i had updated i had a problem with it showing up as Build 7601 – Test Mode. W7 was showing as not activated. All i did was run HAL 7600 again and it showed a few errors but i kept clicking cancel to skip… restarted, W7 is again activated. Just thought i’d pst that because others have mentioned on other sites that they had to use Windows 7 loader to fix this error

No it isn’t, get the law straight before you lecture me. Removing DRM from software and media you legally own is a breach of Terms and Conditions, not Theft. Theft is when you didn’t pay for the something in the first place.

Did you only come here to troll? Perhaps you could just skip by the article and save yourself the trouble.

well taking out DRM is theft from someone … So I guess saying you are a thief is now ok .. Well by the story at least
