Windows XP no longer genuine after running tool. Windows Repair (All In One

(1/3) > >>

EdwardNigma:
Created restore point and backed up registry. After restoring both still showing not genuine. Ran multiple fixes to repair services damaged by the recycling variant of zero access which MBAM removed. Firewall, security center, automatic updates, file associations, and a few others. Had MSSE on machine so pretty sure copy was validated before running the tool. Again it's got a valid key/sticker so no reason it should have been using a WGZ killer that may have broken in the repair process. This is a friends machine and i won't have a change to gt back to it until Monday morning. Any recommendations greatly appreciated.

Shane:
My program doesnt touch anything with the registration in Windows. The only people who have this problem are ones that are using an activation hack. The hack they are using modifies the host file so Windows cant talk to MS servers.

My repair hosts file repair clears those, and thus their hack isnt working any more. :wink:

But my program makes a backup of the host file. It is in the same folder as the host file, so you can put it back if needed :-)

EdwardNigma:
I'll take a look to see if it was changed and get back to you. I can't say for sure that it wasn't using something to stop WGA but I'm almost certain it wasn't. Will update on Monday.

Shane:
Let me know :-)

None of the repairs touch WGA. And I have had 9 people report this to me, all 9 had WGA cracks installed and it was the host file repair that got them :-)

EdwardNigma:
I will thanks for the quick reply and the information. They have a valid Win key on the machine and they bought the system legitimately too so I don't see any reason why it would be running that but I'll check and get back to you.
