Permanently Activate Windows Vista by Skip Activation with Patched TimerStop.sys Crack
section: windows, for your questions: KezNews forum, 20.12.2006
Tip: Click here to update all your PC's outdated driversHackers are going all out to crack Windows Vista activation procedure which is enhanced by Software Protection Platform (SPP).
Until now, Microsoft has an upper hand, with no permanent or foolproof ways to crack or bypass Windows Vista activation request emerged. Instead, various workarounds and tricks to bypass, skip, delay, disable or spoof Vista activation has been suggestion, to various degree of success, such as extend evaluation period, rearm method, install Vista in future year, ‘frankenbuild’ Vista by replacing RTM build WPA files with RC build files, activate against spoofed KMS server, or run and activate Vista with own local KMS server and etc. Now, there is new crack method that able to permanently stop the countdown timer of time left to activate Windows Vista, effectively running Vista OS in full functionality evaluation mode forever.
- Install Windows Vista Ultimate edition (or other edition) without product key.
- Windows Vista needs to be applied with 2099-ReArm trick, so that the counter of minutes to no activation required period will not return to normal after reboot. Click on Start Orb button.
- Select “All Programs”, then “Accessories”.
- Right click on “Command Prompt, then select “Run as Administrator (A)”.
- If User Account Control (UAC) prompt a warning message, click on “Continue”.
- In the command prompt, type date and press Enter. You will see the following:
Microsoft Windows [Version 6.0.6000]
Copyright (c) 2006 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
C:\Windows\system32>date
Current date: 12/19/2006 Thursday
Enter new date:
- Enter 12/31/2099 (December 31, 2099).
- Next, type cscript slmgr.vbs -rearm. You will see something like the following:
C:\Windows\system32>cscript slmgr.vbs -rearm
Microsoft (R) Windows Script Host Version 5.7
Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
The command completed successfully.
To make the change effectively, please restart the system.
- Then reset the date of the system to current date again by typing date again. You will see the following:
Microsoft Windows [Version 6.0.6000]
Copyright (c) 2006 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
C:\Windows\system32>date
Current date: 12/31/2099 Thursday
Enter new date:
- Type in current date, i.e. 12/19/2006.
- Exit from command prompt, but do not restart the computer.
- Download StopTimer.zip, StopTimer.zip, StopTimer.zip or StopTimer.zip torrent.
- Extract the downloaded archive file into a folder. It should contains “Vista test crack.exe” and “timerstop.sys”.
- Execute or run the “Vista test crack.exe” by right click on “Vista test crack.exe”, and select “Run as Administrator (A)”.
- Optional: Press in Test button, and it will pop up a message says 4 timers are stopped. At this time, the counter should be freezed, Check with slmgr.vbs -dlv command, with the minutes left should be the same after a few minutes interval. If it’s the case, continue with the following steps to run the crack every startup.
- In the Vista test crack window, click on “Install” button. You will be prompted with “Service installed” message if everything is done properly and correctly. The crack will copy the patched stoptimer.sys to system folder and install a new service named “timerstop” to stop kernel-mode timers in spsys.sys system file.
- Exit from the crack, and restart the computer.
- The hacking is basically done. Next few steps to to verify that the activation grace period built-in countdown timer is actually stopped and disable the timers from working properly, and make sure that the crack is installed properly. After restart, log on to Windows Vista. Run for a few minutes.
- Press on Windows + R keys.
- Type slmgr.vbs -dlv to check the time left to activate Windows Vista. If the time left is 43200 minutes that’s mean the crack is successful.
With the crack, you will have the following in the registry:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\TimerStop]
“Type”=dword:00000001
“Start”=dword:00000002
“ErrorControl”=dword:00000000
“ImagePath”=hex(2):5c,00,3f,00,3f,00,5c,00,45,00,3a,00,5c,00,57,00,69,00,6e,00,\
64,00,6f,00,77,00,73,00,5c,00,73,00,79,00,73,00,74,00,65,00,6d,00,33,00,32,\
00,5c,00,54,00,69,00,6d,00,65,00,72,00,53,00,74,00,6f,00,70,00,2e,00,73,00,\
79,00,73,00,00,00
“DisplayName”=”TimerStop”
Further information:
- The TimerStop vista test crack works on all 32-bit x86 Windows Vista edition such as Vista Ultimate and Vista Home Premium. Success rate in 64-bit (x64) environment is likely to be low.
- The crack will make the time left to activate Vista to become always 43200 minutes (30 days), and will not countdown or reduce.
- It’s possible to access Windows Update if you install Windows Vista with default product key (no product key entered when installation).
- During the first 3 days of activation grace period after installing Windows Vista, Microsoft has designed it in such a way that Vista will allow greatest flexibility for users to install required drivers and application during this period, so Vista won’t prompt any reminder message for activation. After crack, Vista OS will always run with 30 days left for activation, thus there will not be any watermark or reminder to activate.
- It’s possible to pass Windows Vista Genuine Advantage (WVGA) validation, so users able to download Microsoft value-added software for genuine customers.
- As mentioned above, as Vista will also remain in first 3 days of activation grace period, in theory, Microsoft will not be able to differentiate who is the newly installed system, or who is the ‘patched’ system, unless of course, they check for the specific file or system (privacy anyone?).
- Users can only view that there is 30 more days for system to be activated in the system properties, but it won’t affect system usage or installation method.
On the other way, if you having problem with KB929391 Windows Vista Validation Updates, visit
ways to remove or uninstall the Vista validation tool.

nice nice nice....hope someone try it out but i think it definitely will work fine..
damn, no x64 support?
since lots of pc's will run x64 it would be nice to find similar workarounds.
its dumb...
i wonder why these keep coming with no x64 support, all computers will end up with x64!
merry crimbo and a vista new year
i agree with the "no 64 bit no future" statement...
actually i take that back. i am just one stupid prick.
i love the cock too...
works perfect, i had 14 days left, now 30 days, and minutes not counting down!
very impressive crack... :) works like a charm. thank you !
working...thx
works 100%
i could not download file please upload it to new place??
hi selsei,
i just tried both links are working.
what you have to do is click on the link, then
a new window opens, click on the free download and another window will open, so look at the botton and you
will see a count down, when it finishs give you 4 numbers you enter on the form next to it and click download,
should work.
can we use windows update service this way?
and to think, i was going to go and buy this because of no working solution lol. i can't wait to apply this
crack/patch when i get home
perfect !! works at 100% on windows vista ultimate x86.yes we can update but only with safe updates (defender
updates.....)yupiiiii
do not forget to rename in regedit temerstop to smth. random.
timerstop.sys to "randomname.sys"
keyname timestop to "randomname"
displayname to randomname
imagepath to point randomname.sys
works 100%. first crack i've used that really works. thank you and well done!
fox: i'm sure the checks for this will be a little more advanced than checking for the service, like checking
if the timer has been stopped ;) i guess it's on!
hi guys i already activated using another method i want to use this method but when i make this on command
promt run it on run as administrator appear this microsoft vbscript runtime error permission denied. what can
i do? another thing this works like coa key product? in other words with this we can download all the windows
updates including the newest wga??? please help and post the step to solve my problem i will apreciate that...
thaks merry christmas
i have applied the new crack without reinstalling vista and until now (1 hour from cracking ) it works without
any problem !
vista reports 43200 minutes left !!!
can it be ? is this the crack ???
well worked for 2/3 restars, but now on 4th restart the timer is counting down :(
so does this work or not?????
yes it works
does anyone know what gets reset by windows when you do a re-arm patch? (besides the
date).. do all profiles get reset?
i have tried this looks as if it works but im still showing 30 days but its not counting down
same here as razer, work fine for the first couple of restarts and then like the third or fourth restart...the
timer starts to count down. tried it on three fresh install of vista ultimate and happens everytime.
hmmmmmm....maybe i am doing something wrong here...
7 restarts and almost 2 hours past the cracking and i still have 43200 minutes
what can i say !
is
it possible that the clock is ticking and the report from slmgr is stuck to 43200 (30 days ) ?
wot does this mean (windows vista needs to be applied with 2099-rearm trick)
thaks
i made the procedure, but mine it congealed in 42485. the system says that i have 30 days! the time stopped,
really. cool!!
can someone just send a x64 to these guys in china (apparently only chinese can crack vista) since
apparently they do everything for old x86 computers?
better than nothing but still silly to think
this crack has any future if not working with modern x64...
it looks as though it messes with spsys.sys in system memory. you cannot do that in x64 because of added
protection given by the cpu. you will have to find another way of tampering with spsys.sys!
do you have to re-install vista again? as instructed, or can you just apply the carck
i have applied the crack without reinstalling and now after 10 system restarts and more than 6 hours past the
cracking , it still works perfectly
vista reports 43200 minutes (30 days)
couple of things to note...
1-there is a major delay before the "command completed successfully"
prompt appears - be very patient!
2-pressing the test button yielded a response of 2 timers
stopped, not 4.
3-the command slmgr.vbs -dlv returns a script error during the patch process, but
works properly after the first reboot showing 43200 minutes remaining.
thanks for the great crack.
excellent! thank you.
since when a crack is copyrighted ?
we do not need a king in a dead king's throne !
no key install. 3741 min left.
i ran test gave me 4 timers off..installed and everytime i check 25
days.. i have one with x64 not working report..
14 system restarts , more than 7 hours after cracking and vista reports 43200 minutes (30 days) !
i think
this time the crack actually works!
worked so far, the only thing that did not work was it would not let me set the dat in cmp to 2099 so i had to
set it in the bios and when it restarted it sed windows medaplayer will not work with this date but i just
carred on with the crack and it seems to work
it's not working at all with x64 version, i just just tried.
as said above there is no chance that it
ever works with x64, lame :(
because the next windows update might contain a auto-kill for timerstop.sys
does it work on x64 vista for somebody?
step 2 of the procedure ??
does something has to be applied right after install and before the
procedure or is it just an information about what's gonna happen in the next following steps of the procedure
??
on x64 with amd, my machine changed 12days to 30days after using this.
thanks a lot.
please post these files i need them to try this trick becuase i have replaced them, anyone have original vista
files including pkeyconfig and tokens.dat from original vista ultimate?
very nice, thanks antiwpa - you have done it again. works as instructed.
i applied the crack and withoust sucess:(, just wondering, what might be the problem? i haven't re-installed
vista, i asked earlier if the crack worked without installing and several people said it worked...
guys mine isnt working , wen i restart its asking me 2 reg windows caus its illigal , i need some help .. is
der something dat i forgot.... please guys
did you move your clock ahead in the bios before applying the crack or after? or did you at all..
microsoft vbscript runtime error permission denied - answer, you have software licensing sercices stopped.
turn it back on first.
if someone could e-mail with some advice on how to prperly install the fix, i have not install vista again, i
have 6 days left, i did apply the fix(crack) but it was not sucessfull? if someonce could help it would be
much appreciated. thnks
are windows update working with this crack ?
i'm glad to report that the crack works. i've tested on 3 systems. you do not need to have a new
installation to use the crack, you can just crack it from within the current windows you are using. this safes
alot of time on fresh installation of windows & softwares and not to mention configurations :) have fun.
thanks keznews its working....
if you don't need to re-install vista, then you can skip to step 12? because there would be no need to change
the date? is this correct?
if i use the raven method last time, which is to replace the pkeyconfig and tokens.dat, can i just use this
crack without replacing back the original pkeyconfig and tokens.dat?
woot! good work guys! just want to report that the crack is working flawlessly and i've also restart my
computer so many time to as i'm installing a fresh window with all my programs with. checking the time and
it's still say 43200minutes and 30days.
another sucker copy from my digital life
www.depositfiles do'nt work
there is another method of cracking time period in windows vista disconnect the internet and then go to bios
and set the system date to 31 december 2099 and install the fresh installution [fromat the drive where you are
going to install the os] install avy ver of os without product key after the intalution is completed when ask
for the regional setting, date and time dont change this thing just click next after the installution is
completed restart the pc and set the current date time and regional setting and the connect the internet and
it will remain 30 days until 31 dec 2099
one month old. the timer counts down during the time the system is active.
more than 15 hours after applying the crack and 35 system resets and vista still reports 43200 minutes
(30days) !!!!
i think this time we are in heaven !!!!!!!
not to complain.....but,
this is just a extension of grace period and it´s just a matter of time m$
blocks this service...they just have to check the timer 43200. if u have 43200 on update vista, there could be
something wrong...
anybody tried to stop timer on a kms activated system???
is there a way to rename
timerstop service (to avoid detection)?
so you have to apply the re-arm trick in step 2 before useing this crack, yes?????
i will test it...but if it works it is very impressive...
thank very much to the hackers who did a
gread job
yes this crack works great and yes its no activation but the best one so far and @wel..... wat if your windows
update is disabled what can microsoft do?they cant do anything unless they want to hack every people's
computer by putting patches silently and thats illegal so if you have a prob with ms then disable windows
update in services.msc!then you won't have problems the day ms release a fix for this method!!!
not work on x64 ultimate :(
fantastic work! i was down to my last two days!! thank you!!!!
beware, not working on new (64 bit) computers.....
on the dell inspiron e1705; there is a bios limitation of 2073.
will this not work because the
december 31st. 2099 trick must be 2099....or will a later date of 2073 suffice?
afaik, it should work if you'll set any date above 2038. good luck.
i carried through the procedure yesterday and the time really stopped. yesterday i looked at through the
command - xpr and it marked my expiration in 19/01/2007. i looked at today through the command - xpr and still
marked 19/01/2007. now if i to advance the calendar in one day the command - xpr marks the time of expiration
in 20/01/2007. this is correct?
the time frozen on me lastnight when i tried the trick...but...once i connected it up to the internet....the
timer continued on....once i pulled the internet connection though.....the timer stopped again.
any
solutions to that?
new vista rtm crack
http://keznews.com/1957_new_vista_rtm_timer_stopper_crack i would like to thank keznews.com for us to meet, sharing knowledge and ideas. without keznews.com, vista
wouldnt be crackable.
i have it with crack 16 hours now 7 restarts and its counting down i have installed only 4 updates....defender
and graphic...and one thing it installed msxml 4.0 without my confirmation.fuck.
my bad, we all know keznews steals posts/info/cracks from others. good job on stealing this too guys!
hey all i know what could be problem i didnt disable updates in services.msc and let download first 5 updates
(they looked safe for crack but....)so im gonna try it on fresh ultimate x86 no updates disabled in
services.msc nad if it will co8unt than its at 100% not working.
1)installed fresh copy of windows vista ultimate x86 - winbeta on fully formatted hard disk
2)disconnected the internet for all the installing and cracking time
3)when boots up disabled
updates in cotrol panel and in services.msc
4)cracked sucessfully at 100% right.
5)connected the internet and set up windows....
im waiting if it will countdown anytime if it will
than its not working.....i didnt do anything bad...
i twirled the command slmgr.vbs - xpr 13:00 and it jumped for the date of expiration in 20/01/2007.before
13:00 it was dying in day 19/01/2007. fantastic.
excuse my english i am french. thank you for this fix i tried it on 32 bit and it stop the count and in one
64 bit it will not stop the count but it reset the activation when i reboot it seems better thank you very
mutch
if you have less than 27 days or whatever left you'll get a daily popup reminding you to register windows..
at least i did when i had 39000 minutes left, so i used this to reset it back up
i have tried this method (but i had entered the activation keys before) and i can not log on any more it will
stop and tell you can not log on u have to purchase keys it will allow me to access the internt i can not
acess any thing else only pls. help
does any one have an used rc1 key
did a timer stop on a kms activated system, just for kicks, the machine was installed with a date of 2007 (to
test if the kms server would activate a client set to a newer date than its system date in the vmware image,
which it does), not only did it stop the timer but i actually gained like 20 minutes (i think i had had the
system up for 20 minutes before installing the patch or something), and now its frozen at the slightly higher
number, over the course of 3 reboots and about 12 hours or so.
i think you stop arguing over who gets credit for the crack since we all benefit from it. the more people
helping the merrier, we dont all have to goto one site. thanks to all sites who are hosting this info and
links because we will need as many as we can get.
thanks for sharing. there are no objctions against. but notice: credits for hosting and credits for the crack
is not the same. there is a guy working hard for you.
this is amazing! my vista ultimate time was at 13 days before, now it's back at the golden 43200 and staying.
oh, btw, when i ran the test, it said 2 timers stopped, and still worked just fine.
yes, it is simple to find image by signature, but it needs an update to be installed on your box. wus can
easily scan registry to find the timerstop by scan.
working here, just did it as posted.
a question:
anyone got the updates on?
should i disable
them?
long lives keznews...forever!!!
happy new year.
yup! update on mine is on 247 and try to update and i now have the latest updated and still working.
works like a charm, thank to all involved! all updates working as ell!
redefeather, it's not from keznews stupid, this is where the news was from:
http://maghia.free.fr/board/viewtopic.php?t=456&start=0&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=
so, ok.. if the rearm method resets the 30 days all the time, why not just use it all the time?? does it stop
working or something?
i think you only have 3 re-arms, then it stops working
have tried this method (but i had entered the activation keys before) it will allow u to sign in and stops on
the next screen and tell you u do not have agenuine vista and to proceed further u need to enter a new key or
go to windows website ,i ca not go to my desktop it will only allow me to access the internt
pls. guys if
any one cam hepl
why did you enter a activation key? for one there isn't a activation key that will work yet, since vista is
not out as of next month, so, i don't think you have any way of repairing your os, reformat might be your
only option.
this the message i m getting ur windows vista expired
and with three choices
1. access windows with
reduced functaibilty (internt only)
2. retype your key
3. activate windows on line now
i
hav etried to get afresh rc1 key the website was closed last night
humm ... what are you trying to do? if i were you i would just do a fresh install and use the method above to
stop the time bomb. i tried it and it's working for me so i recommend you do the same. don't enter any key
durning the installation.
slmgr.vbs -upk
uninstall product key
slmgr.vbs -cpky
clear product key from registry
before u install a fresh vista
1.unplug your pc?s internet connection.
2.turn on your pc (or
restart if it?s already on) and boot into your bios (usually hitting the key before initialization; otherwise
refer to your instruction manual).
3.set the date to december 31, 2099 (december to prevent accidents
from happening when setting the year back to 2099 for any reason; as vista keeps the most amount of days you
passed the time you installed it, so if you pass the 30 days after you install it and boot up vista, it will
remember that every time you reboot and not allow you to log on).
4.save & exit the bios and install
vista, leaving the product key textbox blank and un-checking the ?automatically activate windows when i?m
online? checkbox. (you can either burn the iso file to a dvd using software like dvd decrypter or mounting it
to a virtual drive with daemon tools
5.when windows shows the time settings when you?re setting it up,
do not change anything (not even the time zone), just click ?next? and finish. now windows will test your
system performance.
6.after it finishes, log on. click on the time on your taskbar, click the ?change
date and time settings?? link, go to the ?internet time? tab, hit the ?change settings? button, and uncheck
the ?synchronize with an internet time server? checkbox. then set your date back to today. also, you can set
the time zone to your own.
7.plug in your pc?s internet connection and download updates as necessary
8.now the 30-day trial period will last until year 2099. you will not be able to activate windows, but
wga still works and you can download anything from microsoft just like a legitimate copy of windows can. this
trick goes the same for windows xp. the activation status in system information (control panel à system) will
say 30 days.
i use this info long time ago, before somthing likley came up here...installed home
premium, and its still 30 days after 4 weeks....didnt now about "timestopper" or what ever..however i will
see 30januari if vista comes in swedish edition...shorly all of us want windows in our own languie
quit talking about big bambu, whoever he is, nobody cares :)
are you sure it works ???? well,could only for home premium...is it winbeta version ?
u didnt use your home premium more than 50 minutes a day ???because your crack as you wrote works only when
system is shut down.happy use slmgr.vbs -dlv and tell me how much minutes ...thank you
hey guys, remember the origional time crack used? when you re-set the bios to 2099 and everyone thouht that
worked? well, i did this and put in a vista key on install.
will this new crack work for me?
r u totally deadbrains? i didn't thanks u and or ask you're motherfucker!!!! go fuck your mama pussy and her
ass!!!
shut up you vulgar moron, get educated, u kiddie
well it seems to me that, vista works fine for some people and dont for the rest...this discussion never
end...but above textinfo has helpt a lot...than there are up to "yourself" to do your own install...all
computers are unlike, and all people are unlike...i run vista home premium because its my chose...and my trial
seems to never end, and maby im just have "luck"
1)how much minutes left to your evaluation ?? (slmgr.vbs -dlv)
2)descibe please your pc hardware
3)do ya have winbeta version ?
thank ya
i used dr. chang's patch and used my rc1 key. called microsoft and they gave me another key and it worked.
i'm activated. only problem is i cant get rid of that stupid watermark. its ok. i would rather have the
watermark with full version, then have a non watermark 30day version. thanks dr.chang
lighten up will ya.
dr. chang patch works fine to you and that is cool. u can get a watermark remover too. what i want to know
from those who did a clean install is if this patch timerstop.sys works, does it really make the 30 days
fixed? if it does, then its also cool method.
somebody please confirm if the patch timerstop works?
itt grad has already confirmed that dr. chang
method works.
i will probably use the better alternative..
yep the timerstop method is fully working if you follow the steps posted above..30days fixed and no
watermark..(gumagana yan tol alam koh pinoy ka!)
working cracks as of 12/23/2006
-kms
activation
-skip activation (timerstop)
(i dont recommend doing the rc1/rc2 key trick coz it
expires until 6/1/2007 and microsoft will get rid of it as soon vista has been released on retail stores so
use kms or skip activation method!)
this patch works!
i think this is related to the patch. ive been running the patch flawlessly for a few days now but i was
browsing around in the clock in the tray, and its options. somewhere during this time the clock shows like
this...
example: 12:30 am0:30
so its like 1 clock and half a clock
not only that,
it shows in every window or program that shows a clock
if someone else can verify that its a bug in
the patch - just have a browse in there or play with the settings
i have the same issue...
no, it just happens. you need to go to your # and currency and everything formatting and remove the extra
letters from it.
so does this work or not thanks
working or not, to me this is still one of those "half-assed" cracks and should be considered extremely
volatile meaning anything could fucking happen and just about any fucking time. what happens if timerstop.sys
somehow through no fault of the user, gets corrupted, deleted, or otherwize disabled somehow? wtf do you think
is gonna happen? i think you know what will happen: boom, no warning vista deactivates point blank if you've
been using it passed 30 days with a "tampered frozen timer".
this is a step in the right
direction as i can see people are trying diligently to thwart the protection of the demon company and it's
demon worshiping programmers, but this shit is dangerous and i don't trust it, even if it fucking works 100
days.
wtf chinks i guess you don't want to do as much financial damage to ms as we all thought you
did. where's that "elliptic curve" algo crack you talked about when you made the office 2007 keygen?
christmas in 2 fuckin' days boys, hope you have a present. that means a real honest to goodness vista
kegen/crack method that people can finally feel safe with. just like the xp wga cracks eth0 keeps coming with
that work perfect. thats what we need.
can you do it? we'll see. worse comes to worse i go back to
xp since i'm not impressed with vista anyway even after 2 months (with these bullshit workarounds and timer
freezing shit).
good luck to all the hardcore mathematicians working to really break the demon
software!!
it is time to make a crack that works on 64 bit because the timer is still running after installing
stoptimer.exe. the question is who's got the knowledge to create the fix for the timer. i'm waiting for that
for 180 days because that's the time i have to reactivate vista ultimate x64. greetings and merry christmas
and a happy new jear. sebastiaan
even if you have a valid serial and do phone activation,the validation check will determine that you are not
running genuine windows and disable windows, and unlike xp, xp was cracked before it was released and bit
torrents didn't exist that many years ago. vista is a lot harder to crack with software protection platform
and a patch guard in 64 bit systems same technologies will be used for future operating systems. well hope
microsoft wont make windows vienna codenamed "black comb" uncrackable when its released in 2010-2011.if you
like xp better dont upgrade!!!!
lets face it, cracking ultimate seems like a lost cause in my eyes because of the methods being used to fool
the activation timers. replacing key windows files carry the risk of you one day being locked out for good
with no recourse.
using the kms server method however seems to be a more reliable path to take
since your using a legitimate method to register and activate windows. disabling windows updates may be the
only downside of this method, but there's also autostreamer which can also patch vista updates as well. the
kms server can and will be the best available activation method so go with business instead of ultimate and
avoid headaches.
i figure the only possible way they could crack ultimate is to use someone elses
files from another activated vista rtm or later rather than the rc1+2 files being currently used as these will
most likely become a problem in the future from some update.
well, you're a clever shit. if you talk big, why didn't you made a crack?
i had been using vista for a few days and it had told me my version wasnt genuine, so when i restarted with a
later date, vista had expired. am going to have do a full reboot. am sure it is a great crack but you should
warn that wont work if your machine has been updated with the new activation tool from windows update. thanks
guys.......
may all your data rest in peace...
man,you guys and you're posts show arrogance beyond belief.most of you don't deserve any crack,go fucking
buy it..to code hackers: i'm thinking that if we can find simularities in the xp encripted registery code of
date stamping with legal keys of this os,then we can use this same code process of time stamping vista with
legal cpp keys that were given out to thousands of people interested in trying vista and now have support from
ms legally...get it..these keys will be around long enough to hack registery time stamping..i'm getting
close..
windows vista keygen z0neers " this is a keylogger! after running this (first you will notice it doesn't pop
anything up), second if you look at c:\windows\system32\svvhost.exe it will have the same icon as the
"keygen". it also creates a file c:\windows\system32\svvhost that is a log of every program you open and
everything you type which is sent out via the internet
http://www.btmon.com/applications/unsorted/
so is this keygen bad, and should i avoid it?
when you install xp pro and don't activate it right away,what are the images of your registery,now you
activate xp pro and what is different in the images of your registery,it's those differences that make it
unlimited time ,hence the perfect hack..
the creator of this is my new hero. it works like a freakin waxed charm, thanks!
fellows how about we stop our criticism of the hackers and instead provide only positive feedback. cracking
vista is clearly a difficult task and it wont happen over night, but through trial and error. personally, i
take my hat off to all these guys. it doesnt matter if the crack finally succeeds or is just a temporary
measure. at least they are trying. if you have lost important data that is your own responsibility and
without wishing to be offensive, you own irresponsibility. install the os on its own separate partition with
your data on another partition. make an image of your vista partition at the time you install the crack. if
you are a one computer household either dont use vista or dual boot. if ms wasnt so bloody greedy these cracks
would not be needed.
dont now what are you talking about this crack timer stop works perfect without any updates from windows
update so if disabled we can enjoy full ultimate what about this keygen does it work ???
i am using amd x64 dual core 3800+. i installed the vista ultimate 64bit edition and using the timer stop
crack. it also works. when i reboot the system it shows 43200 minutes. the timer counts down as long as i am
in the vista. however, when i reboot the system again, the timer reset to 43200 minutes. i wonder what will
happen if i run vista continuously without rebooting for 43200 minutes.
thats good news this crack is famous....
nick, all vista keygens are bad - because there is no keygen for vista.
re: hector
jahirolammer me cago ...
leo, find some original insults. is that all you can do, copy & paste?
not working on a german vista !!!!
possible,on winbeta version it works
possible,on winbeta version it works
when i use this crack everytime i shut down my computer then timer is atrestart the timer starts counting
again but if i restart again the 43200 minutes again, is this supposed to happen or did i do it wrong, i used
the computer for 8 hours and rebooted a couple of times.
it should stay on 42300 minutes never mind restarts or hours.have you installed any updates ?hopefully it will
stay on 30 days and you ll be able to use it foreva.but f course you cannot run it more than 30 days in time.
i have a question to anyone in this forum...what general tips can give to a noob when reverse engineering a
software such as vista. dont give out secrets, just a general tip. thanks...
at last:
this crack if installed correctly should stay on windows vista ultimate winbeta build 6000
on 42300 minutes and never countdown.on x86 (32bit) version off course.dont install any updates and disable in
in services.msc and control panel.
almost strange it doesn't work on a german version. are you sure you did exactly as described above? it does
work on my (32bit) dutch version.
nevertheless i noticed it sometimes starts counting back after a
'fresh restart' of windows. and then, after some time, the patch suddenly seems to be 'refound', so that
it has 43200 minutes again.
thanks a lot for this very, very nice toy!!
the date notation in dutch differs from the description off course!! might be the same in german..
i have installed a couple of updates like definition updates and networking updates and stuff like that, i
have automatic updates turned on should i disable updates in control panel and services.
i have xp and vista ultimate running on the same drive in separate partitions,
and this method has indeed
worked for me.
43200 minutes after every plenty of restarts since 20-12-06. *but we will only know if
this definately works once 30 days has passed.
if it doesn't work after then all ill do is format the
partition its on and continue using xp, im only using out of curiosity anyway.
and yes i would disable
auto updates .
to ryan: after i applied the timestopper crack, then out of curiosity, i advance date to dec 2007 and reboot.
after i reboot, i was in my desktop with no activation poppup. so i think this crack is the one.
after you have successfully applied the timestopper crack, this crack is the one. i like this particular crack
because you dont need to phone m$ and activate vista ulimate. credit goes to antiwpa for making this perfect
crack...
@mm :
yes i agree ,
lol at activating business version on emulated servers and all that bullshit.
merry christmas to all
from scotland
i was wondering how long will take antiwpa to crack this one coz from what i heard initially vista is near
impossible crack ad yada yada. he's awesome. i use his stuff on xp as well.
in case anyone ever gets the windows activation thing before a complete log-on, tell it to access computer
with reduced functionality. in the address bar of internet explorer typ in c: and hit enter, if it asks for
permission tell it to allow. then go to ur c:\windows folder and execute explorer.exe. now u can access the
computer almost as if nothing is wrong. but u cant use control panel or the system properties as u normally
would. u can still set the run command to display in the start menu and run taskmgr to use the task manager. i
recommend loggin on this way to crack if u dont want to re-install. but dont close the activation box or
windows will log off and u'll have to open explorer again. hope this helps for some.
this crack didn't work for me. i followed all the steps. i'm gonna go back and try again but it just kept
counting down and told me 4 timers initially. then 2 then bounces around at 2 1 3 etc.
if this crack installs a service called "timerstop", why cant i see the sevice running? can anybody confirm
or deny that this installs a windows sevice which shows up in sevices.msc?
i've been having some issues with the whole windows validation crap saying its not registered, have the
update services killed its been running on the whole 30 day trial stuff from rearming previously, but anyways
to me it appears the only way it could check and stop it would be windows defender cause i fogot to turn that
service off..
buster, you can't see via service, it's a "driver", if you want to see it, use a utility like "serviwin"
(search on google)
except for the fact that the core 2 duos are kicking butt over the 64 bit ones...... yeah crack works great i
love it! just cant wait for someone to clear out all the m$ $pyware.
steveman, not sure what you are talking about, core 2 duo is x64 and yes it kicks butt somehow.
so the problem remains since no crack works on x64 while x64 is the cpu for new computers and x86 will
disapear...
that's my point, as long as no crack supports x64, there is no future for this crack.
this does work very well. u dont really have to follow all of th directions, at least i didnt. i just
installed vista ultimate (rc1) and did the date thing in cmd. then i tried the -rearm thing, but it didnt do
anything, it said somethin about not being a valid command and it game me all of the other -xxxx commands
possible. i just did the date thing after that and set my date back, and ran the test in the crack -4 timers
stopped- then checked the timer and it had in fact stopped. so i installed the service, restarted and bam! it
worked awesome. i didnt get the part about the "2099-rearm trick" so i just did things on my own and it
worked! finally, i think we have "the crack"!!!!! but is there any timebomb crack yet that works (that
actually keeps vista from expiring on 5/31/2007?? please let me know if there is! thanx in advance!
merry christmas and a happy new year !
vista did work fine, untill i updated it. from then on its says its not geniune. so ive tried the timestopper.
but when i restart, vista says window license is expired. ive tried everything, rc1 keys but nothing works,
can someone help me please
unplug your internet cable then install vista. then turn off window update also type "services" in search
and disable window update startup and kill it if it's ruuning.
what about updates? is it possible to have updates from microsoft or system will crack down???
alex no...its illegal.
merry christmas and a happy new year !
just installed vista from scratch on a second hdd, without changing the bios date and stuff, followed the
instructions to the letter and it works 100% on windows ultimate, even the updates work.
great job
guys!
when i test it it says 0 timers stopped does this mean that it doesn't work? please help!!!!
can any one tell me where you guys check the time i,e 43200 minutes ?
either type slmgr.vbs -dlv or slmgr.vbs -dli in the search box on the start menu, the blue button with a
windows logo. or run command prompt or cmd as an administrator and type cscript slmgr.vbs -dlv or -dli.
follow the directions ... the question you're looking for is in there
original version works great! new version didn't. anyone else find this?
you don't need to reinstall. i applied the crack on a vista that is past 30 days trial and it works. i also
noticed on the first restart, a watermark appeared on the bottom right corner. on the 2nd restart, the
watermark disappeared. hooray!
also something to note. you don't restart your system,until step
17!!
i know step 8 says restart, but its actually a quote of what happens when you do the step. don't
restart!
as soon as the first windows update comes along it will nuke this crack. you can rename files/services but it
can still be found just like a renamed virus can be found. it's only going to buy you a week or two, what's
the point?
you dont have to install updates no one can force you to do things on your computer in fact you dont even need
to use a computer of you dont want to!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
nice crack. anyway vista is just a rip off from os x. "x for vista, baby!"
the timer seems to go down after resuming from sleep. anyone else have this problem?
timer should reset to 43200 after reboot. shout to antiwpa for granting my wish come true as i haved wished
for vista for xmas...
correction: shout out to...
my timer does not reset after restarting.
i followed the instructions and confirmed that the crack
was working, but i did install two windows updates: malicious software removal tool and definition update for
windows defender. could this have nulified the crack?
n.b. i did not install kb929391.
there are silent updates....you must disable all updates after install.
installed this patch great on windows vista ultimate edition, but is this patch permanent or will microsoft
release a patch to cancel this? is it safe now to format my hdd and transfer all my files to my vista
partition without anymore activation problems?
if no update no limitations !!!!
i used the crack in vista 64.it didn't permanently stopped the countdown but it countdowns from 43140 every
time it boots in windows.we can actually call it a success.
installed two days ago, numerous reboot and installed updates on day one without prob. check time today, it
is still 43200. crack works if done right. but vista has issues with gaming..so back to xp pro for me.
almost forgot, i did install the ultimate version and applied crack. worked for me.
anyone have original vista files including pkeyconfig and tokens.dat from original vista ultimate?
secondly there was a website that hosted the kms server that has updates anyone know the name of it.. i
thought it was vistafans dot com but its not working atm.
hi all, any help appreciated.
i followed everything on the post above. i got the "4 timers
stopped" and "service installed" messages.
but when i reboot the pc, as soon as it hits the
log-in screen it will self-reset after showing a bsod without any text for a second or two.
please
help!
ok so ive tried burning "msdn vista rtm.iso" to a dvd using roxio and isorecorder. both times the burn
completed, but when i tried to boot from the dvd, it wouldn't do anything.. just loaded xp from the hd. ive
changed my bios settings so that the cd drive is first on the list when checking for bootable os's.
help.. any ideas?? thanks
there is no update yet from ms that blocks the patch but they are aware of it and already have a team to deal
with it so expect something rather soon.
i uploaded this just for you enjoy, here's the original pkeyconfig and tokens.dat from vista ultimate
http://rapidshare.com/files/9066857/windows_vista_original_files.rar
files are down
new working link, http://rapidshare.com/files/9084380/vista_original_files.rar
i been using this crack for 6 days now and it still says 43200min and 30 days, i don't understand why people
are having problems? disable your updates!!!!!!!
so can i use windows update with the new vista rtm timer stopper crack?
a certain percentege of people are running across real issues with this . maybe it only works on msdn
version?
whats all the complaining about no x64? does normal vista support 64 bit? is this hack worth trying?
not worked out yet
i have dr chang crack works like a wind.
first timer stopped working after a couple of days then i tried to install stop timer again and then it said
stopped 1059 timers then i said intall agian and it said cannot copy to system 32 wtf!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
thought we had somthing here does it not work on rc1? or what rrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!
it works. all u noob cunts are too stupid so unplug ur pc and throw it out the window. then go sign up back to
kindergarten cause thats obviously where u belong.
fucken n00b city
i m writing it at last no updates !!!!!!dont install anything it works good but nooo updates you hillbily
shits !!!!sorry for the clever one people....
works perfectly. dusty you have to uninstall the first timer stop crack and then install the new time stopper
crack.
i already have automatic updates disabled from the control panel on vista but should i also disable updates by
running that services.msc command too? is it enough to just disable auto updates from the control panel?
u must in services.msc too
thanks for your response, but i have one more question about turning off auto updates using the services.msc
feature.... when i disable auto updates with that, will that make my computer act up in anyway, and can i
still manually check for updates when they are issued?
using utorrent it takes me like 6 days to download ... im using bt engine 4.8 with it too to help the speed up
... its still pretty slow .
after we have successfully applied the timestopper, i would like to remove the 30 day activation from
properties under computer. any ideas or suggestions...
after successfully applying timestopper, i would to conceal 30 day activation in properties. any ideas or
suggestions...
i search a keygen for vista, please make it on rapidshare an a crack whats run on vista ultimate forever
and you think the boys at m$ aren't *already* at work on a stop-gap measure for *this* one?! get a grip.
no windows updates, and no windows validation check and no internet means no future for microsoft!!!!!!!!! and
there's nothing they can do, what are they going to do come to your house and be like we're going to stop
piracy and disable your windows ho ho ho, we don't think so.
can we do any updates
any update that tries to stop these cracks or validates windows avoid, anything thats bad from microsoft be
careful before you install an update.
do i have to change time in the bios or affter,please,please someone
please i m waiting
do the change in bios before time stopper.... no need fresh install...
after reboot vista says time was over and enteres reduced funcionality. hit activate. ie7 opens, type c:\ and
find your time stopper and run it... after that reboot and change time back to 2006
anyone worried about windows update deactivating your timerstop.sys? fix it! rename timerstop.sys to whatever
you want, then change all the timerstop.sys info in its registry entry to what you renamed it. change the
registry entry name too. back up the file and the registry entry first though. i did it and its working still
at 100%. 43200 minutes and still standing still. just dont get on here and tell everyone what you renamed it
so m$ can find out what you did exactly. it is after all "personal computer" right?
tried it and succeeded. xpr shows that i have exactly 30 days left all the time. applied the crack few
daysago, and after restarts and stuff no count down. do you think we should rename the timerstop.sys and
handle the registry? i need instructions for the registry... anyone?
to any skeptics, its really very simple. find hkey_local_machine\system\controlset001\services\timerstop
then find everything that is named "timerstop.sys" or "timerstop" in the entry, rename it all to a
personal name you want (dont rename any number values, only rename the text values) then rename timerstop.sys
to whatever name you chose for it, ex: hkey_local_machine\system\controlset001\services\timerstop to
hkey_local_machine\system\controlset001\services\mynameisdirte then resistry values the same
\??\c:\windows\system32\timerstop.sys to \??\c:\windows\system32\mynameisdirte.sys then go into your
system32 folder and rename the file timerstop.sys to mynameisdirte.sys, 100% simple. of corse dont rename it
to what the example says to name it to, thats all your personal preference. if you want to name it
ilovethecock.sys, thats what you do, whatever floats your boat. just make sure all the text information is the
same at the end. remember to backup your reg entry and .sys file first, in case you make a boo boo, that way
you can just add the reg back and put the file back in system 32, then it will work again (if you boo boo).
this is all from trial and error in my part, i slaved over a hot computer all day so you people would stop
crying about windows updates slapping your computers wrists. give it a try, youll smile in the end!
i would appreciate any help in a listing of where in vista are all of the timerstop.sys files that have to be
renamed. also would help if you could explain how to disable it in services as well
thanks to everyone
who helps
big thank you to those who create files like timerstop.sys because m$ need a good kick in the
a$$ for charging so much for everything and bragging how vista is the mmost secure os out!!!!!
oh yeah, i almost forgot, im still at 43200 minutes and 30 days "with the edit to the registry and files" i
dont even have the original timerstop files on my pc anymore. if you want to know how to open your registry,
go into "run" or hit your windows and r keys at the same time and type regedit into the run box.
just change the registry entries and that sets your services and everything too. the entries are as followed
[hkey_local_machine\system\controlset001\services\timerstop]
everythings there for timerstop,
and your file is in
c:\windows\system32\timerstop.sys
read my big post, its up a couple posts
from here
new version :
updated driver : sometimes the old driver didn't work
x64 support (there is a
"test mode" watermark on the desktop, i will see if it can be removed)
the 2099 trick is still
needed.
where is it??
ok. first off. the time stopper patch seems to work perfectly from what i can tell in my winbeta vista
ultimate edition v6000 pc. i was however horrified to find out that media center was not appreciative of the
date change.
issue after patch:
1. guide was not going to update again unti january 1,
2100
2. mce went through and cleared out all of my shows that were on the schedule for the next two weeks
as it thought they were missed.
how i resolved:
1. went through and re-ran the setup for the
mce application which triggered the guide to be updated again. may have been able to do this without going
through the mce wizard.
2. took an old recordings.xml file from my xp mce and put it in place of
the current one. restarted the mce scheduler service. mce went through and updated things.
even
after this, the guide itself did not show the recording icon next to shows that were "scheduled" to record.
i manually selected to record one. it complained about it being part of a series and when i cancelled the
activity it updated everything showing the red icon next to all the shows scheduled to record.
now,
whether mce would have eventually found the error in it's ways for what it had to record is unknown. however
something i wanted to put out there as an fyi and for anyone else with this issue.
one thing i know
for sure, the guide update would not have manually triggered again until the year 2100 unless i did part of
the abvoe activity even though the clock was set back to 2006.
regardless of this headache, the
crack does work, just has some issues with mce setup. perhaps if this fix was done before i setup mce it
would not have been an issue also.
iceo
lets go pirates!!!
well, my fuckin timer keeps countin down, and it wont let me uninstall the timerstop patch, it just says test
and install. uninstall is blocked out. and everytime i reinstall vista with the bios set at 12/31/2099, as
soon as vista boots up it says my windows license expired! i have rc1, is that the problem? can someone tell
me more about step 2, i dont know anything about the 2099-rearm trick, i need a more descriptive guide!
please!!!?!???!?!!!! fuck u microsoft fuckers!!!!!!!!
i installed this crack fine with windows vista ultimate and didnt even have to mess with the bios at all .
for the last 2 days the timer has stayed the same and can access windows updates too
my god dusty u r dumb.. the step 2 is explained in step 8, lol
hahahahahahahah... ha!
reg editing worked out prefectly too.
gave this a try and it does work , but will buy vista when its out prob not ultimate tho to heavy for my
pocket ££££
nice crack !
this crack seems to cause problems with my system, after install seemed to work fine, on restart however it
causes a bsod (blue screen of death) and restart at the login menu i deleted the registry values and
uninstalled the service and restart returns to normal, so far the only workaround for the problem i have found
is to boot to last known good configuration every time i start vista ultimate, anyone know how to fix this
yep same here. after reboot sometimes after/during login i get a bsod for a few sec. just long enough to see
timerstop.sys is causing it. to bad, back to kms activation i guess.
word up larks. glad i could help.
i have disabled it with the command stop and then disable it should disable forever but u have rather to
control it after restart if it is surely stopped.
cant set the new date .... so doesnt work for me
time for a better one
hi folks
if youy want a shot with my mom call this number;
0800 eat shit
excellent crack by the
way - need 64 bit version tho!!!
hello. no one on this forum is really dumb, its just they need help, and thats wat these fuckin forums are
for, so stop fuckin bashin people!!! now, could someone who is here to help, please tell me if this works
with windows vista rc1? i repeat, rc1! i dont get the completed message when trying "cscript slmgr.vbs
-rearm" string, is this feature not in rc1 5600?
of course there are issues. it's running a stupid tsr that's conflicting with other crap and not compatible
with everyone's hardware and setups. it is a driver if you think about it and do all drivers works stable in
all systems? hell no. this is hit or miss with this procedure and really not worth having some crappy buggy
tsr messing your system up. solution. get an xp pro vlk and stick with that. and we all know as soon as there
is a sp1 for vista this so called crack will burn away quick. who wants to run a new ms product without doing
updates? i certainly do not.
please download vista rtm and apply this crack in rtm only for stability. dont apply this crack in rc1, rc2,
or any other pre-rtm.
how can activate vista???plz help me to find a solution
hey darkeos what is this whole thread about read it!! ya know what i dont wanna see you here again if ur gonna
ask dumb ??????
everything good up to cscript slmgr.vbs
-rearm but when i hit enter my pc crashes any help would be
appreciated.
19.press on windows + r keys
i dont understand it,can you explain it to me plz?
thnkssss it workss
what abt this
http://www.raymond.cc/blog/archives/2006/12/14/windows-vista-activation-permanently-cracked-proof/
a couple days ago i installed rc2 and attempted timerstop.sys... after restart it brought me to activate
windows, requiring a key and only allowing ie access. i reinstalled about 3 times trying diff things and no
fix...
anyway, just got rtm so maybe this fixes it. will be applying it shortly. we'll see if this
works...
why are people still using rc1-2? and thinking that the updated cracks are going to work with them? instead of
waisting people's time whit stupid comments and questions get a rtm versions and try reading the instructions
before jumping the gun and applying the crack and coming back here and saying it doesn't work.. stupid
people!!!
read the titles on the top of the page where theres new things with new.
i stick food in bum but still hungry. please advise.
place 1 blue on egg. connect s to #3 with slmgr -fku. rinse, fry and eat!
...............any luck with 64 version.............
timerstop.sys is not a digitally signed driver. therefore it won't be started on x64 vista. for x86 vista the driver digital signature stuff is not mandatory so far. in other words, timerstop.sys will work on x86 only. use “windows services and drivers” freeware by nirsoft for timerstop.sys status on x64 vista.
hi everybody, i did exactly what is in guide. hell it works!!! for one two days it seemed perfectly all right, but now about 5 days after i done it it starts counting down again ...
shit, i`ll go back to xp and wait for some serious fix ...
followed instructions on 64 bit version. time countdowns during windows use but resets after reboot. excellent work!
what instructions..can you inform me..
thankyou.....
benn working fine for me since the crack was released.... no countdown... :)
been not benn
hi, tried this first time and it did not work - instructions are not quiet complete. maybe others have had this problem?
i reformated the disk and reinstalled vista as per the instructions but note it is important that you untick the register vista box on one of the early install screens - otherwise you cannot install the stoptimer.sys file - you get an error message. also, after running the patch sucessfully, i did a cold reboot to avoid the bsod when you restart. i also pulled the mains lead out to ensure it was a completely cold reboot. all worked ok and i now have an unchanging timer. many thnaks to all the peeps who contributed to this one. btw, i installed to a spare hd and it now dual boots xp and vista. great!
jeff
i follwed the directions to the letter and i still get the windows activation screen at startup. it wants me to enter a product key and if i don't vista logs me out. can anyone please help me?
did everything this thing told me to, after 3 days of using "slmgr.vbs -dlv" still tells me "43200 minute(s) (30day(s))" remaining. but one catch is, i got a message in the taskbar today saying "activate windows within 27 days" or something along those lines. so perhaps the timer still goes on in the background.
