Windows XP Genuine Advange MUST READ!

[nless00]

I dunno, if has been posted... microsoft has added another Genuine program, called "Windows Genuine Advange Notifications(KB905474)" this could be avoided if you go to Windows Update site and select High Priority and is going to be second one in list or only one if you already apply all updates and than unchecked it, if you dont than this program get install and try go to windows update again Genuine checker shit is back because of the program, and even if you try bypass using "Windows Genuine Advantage Patcher (1.5.512.0)" wont work if believe me I tried... only way I bypass it is using the javascript method still works.

yes this program just sit there on your system tray and is parent to Winlogon.exe , so try to kill with
windows task manager comes back again and quickly.. so only thing I have read to get rid of the Notification shit is going to
"C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Windows Genuine Advantage\data" and remane "data.dat" to something else..

update 1: here image what is happing to me is TRUE nag, even replace my logo screen and have to wait 5 sec to get into windows... SO DONT INSTALL it!

update 2:
if anyone want try to get rid of WGAN than here file get install...
c:\windows\softwaredistribution\download\6c4788c9549d437e76e1773a7639582a\
and "wgalogon.dll" and "spmsg.dll" are you little friend changes your logon screen and wgatray.exe..
need to be delete but not so easy thou... easy method use recovery console windows xp cd delete them from there. I spend like 4hr figuring out how to get rid of it and i won the battle microshit ;)

hopefully, someone will crack this shit...
i hope this help some people. :)

edit: I try method about renaming the data.dat didn't work for me..

[zapjb]

Just don't install it.

I just checked WU. There were 2 critical updates. One was a NEW WGA. I installed the one NOT the new WGA. AOK here.

This worked an hour ago. Subject to change of course.

[usmangujjar]

Thank YOU! i waz just about to install it when read this, thank u so much!

[Yoga]

I don't know why I think this is soooooooo funny , cause I know my phone will soon be ringing of the hook with my buddies calling about this problem . :(


Crossing fingers hoping for a quick fix , swear some of the numb skulls still have an XP disk starting with FUK.... :whistling

[LilAznAccommodator]

I FOUND it!!!!!!!

LOL otay otay let me link up: Just go to torrentz.com or typhoontorrent.com(Whatever the exact link is ><)

And serach for 'Windows Genuine' and yeah dl whatever since they all same pretty much, and unzip/rar/etc... and put the file in BOTH c:/Windows/System32(OverWrite) AND this is important AND in the following location: c:\windows\softwaredistribution\download\6c4788c9549d437e76e1773a7639582a\

I didn't put it there and the nagging continued but was otay on main screen.

I hope that helps a little.

[LilAznAccommodator]

Just a change of letter, okay =P

[zapjb]

Just remember to use the custom option vs. the express option in WU. And if you have WU set to autonotify & install WU's. Change that to just notify NOT install. Then don't install WGAN. Right now this works.

[abu_has_the_power]

i think i installed this, and i don't get any messages.....

[Hairbautt]

Ha, my Windows XP is genuine. An OS is something I'd buy, fer sure.

[mr. nails]

why even dl this? i saw it and just ignored it. told ms updates to not tell me of this update anymore. don't be gay and dl shit that will hurt ur os and READ what the actual update is.

[peat moss]

This from Micro-slapwinblows works .

I have a problem that I need sum help with. I have just bought an MP3 player & tried to install software. An error message came uo saying that SP1 was required & the software couldnt be loaded. I gather SP1 relates to Windows XP professional and its not only my computer because I burnt the XP cd. I need some advice on how to get the SP1 on my computer without buying the XP software & without losing all files on my computer. Please help!

Just do a system restore to the day before the update and then don't install the genuine advantage thing :lookaroun

Even tho computers have taught me patience ,you know building ,trouble shooting bla bla , "fff "that when they don't work right . :D

On a serious note did anyone try the Micro-slapwinblows trick ?

[orcutt989]

Windows automatic updates told me that I needed that, but I clicked custom>>unchecked it>>never tell me about this again. And I didnt get it! Yay. But my windows is legit so I dont think it matters anyways. I just dont want something funky like that on my pc.

[peat moss]

Your lucky buddie, I have installed the VLK on about 10 computers so trying to keep up to Microslut .

For what its worth found another way, it works because my friends are now getting hardware updates as well such as ATI drivers and the like . Not that I would recommend installing them as their usually old .


Go to the folder "x:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Windows Genuine Advantage\data" on your hard drive and you see a file called data.dat, edit it with notepad, delete all the text, save the empty file, right click properties tick read only and you're done.

Probably wont work for long but use it while you can . :)

That's interesting. Maybe after you save the empty file, you could use: Encrypt contents to secure data.

I'm not sure if it will do any good but it could prevent the file from being altered without your permission. ;)

[swati]

do it have other draw back excluding update ?

[peat moss]

@vb , thats a neat idea will have to try it thank you .

@swati , thats a big enough of a draw back for me ,its only the start mabye it checks for cracked games next . :ph34r:

[LilAznAccommodator]

Hmm anyone have any news about the new update for Windows? Since i tried updating and it lead me to a screen wher ei HAVE TO install something to go any further, but when it was updating.. I noticed it had to do with the Genuine Adcantage and canceled right away.. I would like more news upon this before I continue.

Edit: Bah... Now I am stuck with it installed >< lol... Dumb me.. well I guess time for me to wait for a Bypass or something since Trixie don't work anymore.

[The_Hunter]

just restore to day before you did update and when it wants to update next time dont do it

[LilAznAccommodator]

Hmm I mean when I click on Custom the only thing it leads to is the Mandatory Download of it, so doens't really matter, oh well... I shall just wait for nows.

[madbone12]

That is interesting in removing the text. Supposedly there is a new fix for it version 1.5.530 that is working. Not tried it myself because i got legit through school. but if you are still having problems you could check it out.

[zapjb]

OK I think 1 has to fail WU 1st. Then the dll will work. I think. Anyways for me.

Well Lilazn , there were a couple of tricks here on the forum but as Zap said it depend's if you installed Genuine Advantage or not . The Edit Dat one seems to work for both .


Or try :

Before pressing 'Custom' or 'Express' buttons paste this text to the address bar and press enter:
javascript:void(window.g_sDisableWGACheck='all')

[LilAznAccommodator]

Hmmm I tried that data thing and doesn't seem to worka nd that second one I have Trixie do taht for me and also doesn't work ><

1.5.530 I tried using all the cracks that are for that version but none seeeem to work.

Mabye you need to change your Key ? Just a thought tho , if nothing else works .

[LilAznAccommodator]

Hmmm dunno because the key I used has 'worked' for me since the beginning even when using it with Trixie... but hey wouldn't hurt right? Anyone happen to be able ot PM me a KeyChanger? And for the KeyChanger... we could use that to instlal XP right? I mean if I ever Format...

Thanks for not closing the thread Chewie , did notice Andrew closed his link tho smart one that Andy . Its such a fine line I guess and I'm sure a PM to one of them would be fine if looking for said file . :unsure:


I get confused too on it sometimes . :)

[Chewie]

Oh, I dare say that a filename like that would turn up a few accurate search results in BT circles, newsgroups, ed2k or gnutella(2). ;)

[peat moss]

Or just google 9down it has a fix on the main page for KB905474 , just tryed it myself a few minutes ago as my old tricks no longer worked . :)

[Hairbautt]

HAHA looka Cali!!! my area looks completely clean!

[consolehack]

Comon guys! very simple! Open task manager, make sure you close the WGA tray and then use find to search for all the filenames relating to windows xp genuine advantage. Delete em! Then the tray icon nor the startup message will appear. Visit www.consolehack.net, its my website:P
FILENAMES:
WgaTray.exe
wgalogon.dll
LegitCheckControl.dll

Peace out!

[gd3110]

did you guys try the tip at http://brainwave.is.dreaming.org/ .. its seems to be a sol

[peat moss]

did you guys try the tip at http://brainwave.is.dreaming.org/ .. its seems to be a sol

That one does work anymore I don't think ? I'v tryed most in this thread and they no longer seem to work . :(


Which is why I suggested the 9down link. Wish I could post the KB905474 EXE. crack but not allowed . Hint Hint . :whistling

[the mask]

peat moss, that 'data' file process works to a certain extent, when getting an update it then says 'unable to verify if your windows is genuine' and then advises you of a new process which obviously installs WGA again, any ideas how to get around that. and please PM about that crack you have. cheers

[peat moss]

Hey how come Microshit is so quick out of the gate on fixing these hi jinks anyway ?

Bloody annoying that, almost makes me want to buy a legit copy . Hey I did not just say that ! :lookaroun

[venkz]

Hey guys... it just worked for me.... Herez what i did...

1. Go to www.torrentz.com
2. Search for "windows genuine" (without quotes)
3. I downloaded the torrent from its first result
4. The torrent should download the file "Windows..Genuine.Advantage.Validation.v1.5.540.0.Cracked-CRD.zip"
5. Unzip this file and there will be a "crack" folder in it.
6. Replace LegitCheckControl.dll in C:\Windows\System32
7. Restart your computer in Safe Mode (with Command Prompt)
8. Type "exit" to close command prompt
9. Press CTRL+ALT+DEL and open Task Manager
10. Click "New Task" and type "explorer"
11. Check the "Processes" tab in Task manager and ensure that there are no processes with the name "wga******". If there are any... then do an "End Task" to those processes
12. Go to C:\Windows\System32
13. Rename WgaLogon.dll and WgaTray.exe to some other name
14. Replace these two files from the "crack" folder
15. Restart your PC
16. Voila...! Its done... Thats all. You wont see the nag message again...

Cheers!

[tobb3]

Why not get student release, they've got some real good xp torrents on demonoid..been using one for a couple of months now, no problems whatsoever.

[Ezura]

What to do?! What to do?!
I already installed its updates and my wallpaper keep disappearing into black background after sometimes (like after 20-30 min after changing wallpaper). I installed the updates before i know bout this problem and before i found this site!
Then I tried to check the folder c:\windows\softwaredistribution\download\6c4788c9549d437e76e1773a7639582a\ ....... I can't find it! I can't find the folder "6c4788c9549d437e76e1773a7639582a".
PLEASE HELP ME AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!!
I NEED IT SO DESPERATELY!!

[Snee]

You could make that folder yourself.

Not quite clear on why you'd want it there, though.

It's my understanding that everything in the softwaredistribution\downloads folder is used in conjunction with automatic updates, not sure why GA'd need it.

I tend to wipe the folder on a regular basis, along with update uninstallers in system32. Just don't mess with $hfmig$, like.

Not quite sure why it'd be needed there at all. And that folder name looks like a checksum, or similar. Might be they are coded after the version, in which case it might be called something else for you.

Try searching for the file to see if it's present in any subfolder, if it's indeed necessary for what you need it for.

EDit: Probably won't solve anything at all, though, as you'd noticed if you'd read the whole thread.

Also, I dunno how messing with GA will solve your wallpaper issues.

[Ezura]

I'm not quite sure nor understand! I asked about that folder cause it seems like every one talked about it. so I thought it suppose to be there.

anything else you can help? (this problem already gives a lot of headache! need to solve this before my dad finds out! XP)

[Snee]

Well, if you've got a very recent system restore point, that might be an option. Generally speaking I don't recommend using system restore if it can be avoided.

As for your specific problem, I've never had it, so I can't really go into detail into how to solve it.

If I were you I'd try to figure out exactly what went in when you last updated. I s'pose it might be some other update screwing you over.

As for me, I don't really know what's going on with your system anyhow. I mean, is it a pirated version of XP, or a legit one? And so forth. Bit lacking in detail, innit? I'd try and define the problem better, tbh. maybe start a thread of your own if you can't find something more specific in another thread on here.

I'll run a couple of searches on a couple of sites if I have the time later, to see whether there's a solution out there.

[Ezura]

Anyway, thanks for the suggestion! at the end i just did the system restore! but some application i recently installed got 'deleted' together with the setUp.

It's ok now! Hehe. Thanks for the big help! >_<
^_^~

[Snee]

Glad you could work it out.

The stuff that got lost got wiped from the registry, I think. That should, hopefully, be easy enough to reinstall.

[Ezura]

If i hadn't found this site, I could have been so guilty! Cos I do not know much in computing (since I quit my computer studies 4 years ago!).

Now, what I have to to is to reinstall them. LOL!
