well, hello this is my first post to this forum, i havent read all the messages, and i probably never will, maybe one day, but, i have spent a lot of time searching of a way to crack that darn thing, this is what i propose, i found that in c:windowssystem32oobe you can find all the files that verify the activation confirm code that some dude gives you over the phone they are plain html, java, vbs code, and some dlls the marvelous thing here is that i found the precise code that does this thing, when you have the code, you enter it and it verifies it, pretty normal, there has to be a file anywhere in your pc that has a generator of codes so those files will check on them at the time the activation confirm code is checked, i know its kind of stupid just to tell you this, but im working on it, and i tell you this so you all might be encouraged to look that, i believe you realy dont need a crack file, and if only changing a value in registry would make the trick it wouldnt be a secure process for msft, the point is, that file has to be there and its not going to be called wpa.* whaterever that * means, no, its written somewhere else, im going to find it, as my name is tarutaros, just give sometime, plus anyone up to the challenge of looking for that you can doit if you know about hexeditors, javascript html asp vbs, because its all about that, its not magic its something very simple just happens to be very hard to find, so long everybody, keep on looking, i dont know if someone already posted this info, if that is so, excuse for thinking the same thing that you did so bye
