Windows 7

[trakaill]

So good news is I finally bought ram for my comp after 6 month of being down..

 

BAD NEWS: as it was the case before the ram went to shit I got a message that my copy of windows isnt genuine and I may be victim of counterfeit.. as most of you know I got it from wrathek.

 

First Id like to know if anyone else had that issue regardless of where they bought it

and if so if it was fixable...

If it's an OEM version, technically you aren't allowed to install it on any other machine than the first one it was installed on.

 

If it's a retail version, the previous copy had to be uninstalled. There might be other ways to cause the "not genuine" message to appear, google around and there might be a fix.

 

And then of course there's the possibility of it being a non-genuine key.

Wrathek sold OEM MSDN keys - then Microsoft black listed them, so you get the "Windows is not genuine"

 

but, I know an awesome crack for the Ultimate version of Windows 7, I'm still able to get updates.

if you want to get rid of that message just download RemoveWAT, what it basically does is remove the installed update, which checks whether your key is genuine or not

 

some of my friends had it too, so they just downloaded the RemoveWAT, installed it and it's fine now

 

PS: if you can't find it, i'll upload the file for you, just pm me

 

btw i forgot to say this, you can also update after this, just make sure you don't install the KB971033 update

RemoveWAT

Please don't use a tool that removes parts of the OS.... not really a smart thing to do. Just use Daz's loader or something to make the message go away.

there is nothing wrong with using RemoveWAT, the only thing it will remove from your OS is the Windows Activation Technologies, thats all, it's completely harmless, it just removes it so you can get a genuine OS and have all the original updates from the OS

 

the countless times i've used it for my friends PC and nothing ever happened to their OS', it's all running smooth without problems, so try it first before blowing something off

Exactly, removing parts of your OS is not smart to do.
