Software / Win XP Activation crack
« on: May 10, 2006, 01:06:26 AM »
I used FittMunken's guide by booting into SafeMode and using the Task Manager to run regedit. I changed OOBETimer to the values listed. I checked Deny for System permissions on the top 2 boxes, but did not mess with special permissions.
I rebooted into normal Windows and noticed a change that looked initially very promising when I clicked "Yes" to activate Windows at the login screen. I had the normal top 2 options of activating over the Internet or the phone, but the last one, which previously said "No, log me off" now says "No, remind me to activate Windows every few days" and below that, it says "If you wait to activate, you can still use Windows, but you will receive periodic reminders. After 1539123732 days, you must activate Windows before you can continue to use it."
I excitedly clicked No but the friggin thing sent me back to the login screen, asking again to activate. I can use my computer via the Help link that opens an IE window, but I'm wondering if I missed something, or if there is another step I should take. For instance, should I go into advanced and Deny some of, or all of, those permissions?
