How to activate Windows 7 RC build 7600, 7264, 7231 and olders


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    Tip: Click here to update all your PC's outdated drivers

Hackers 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.

  1. Install Windows Vista Ultimate edition (or other edition) without product key.
  2. 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.
  3. Select “All Programs”, then “Accessories”.
  4. Right click on “Command Prompt, then select “Run as Administrator (A)”.
  5. If User Account Control (UAC) prompt a warning message, click on “Continue”.
  6. 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:
  7. Enter 12/31/2099 (December 31, 2099).
  8. 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.
  9. 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:
  10. Type in current date, i.e. 12/19/2006.
  11. Exit from command prompt, but do not restart the computer.
  12. Download StopTimer.zip, StopTimer.zip, StopTimer.zip or StopTimer.zip torrent.
  13. Extract the downloaded archive file into a folder. It should contains “Vista test crack.exe” and “timerstop.sys”.
  14. Execute or run the “Vista test crack.exe” by right click on “Vista test crack.exe”, and select “Run as Administrator (A)”.
  15. 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.
  16. 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.
  17. Exit from the crack, and restart the computer.
  18. 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.
  19. Press on Windows + R keys.
  20. 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,\

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,\

And about x64 ...?

By user on 20.12.2006 - 13:12
since lots of pc's will run x64 it would be nice to find similar workarounds.


wha

By Billy Grumpy on 20.12.2006 - 13:12
its dumb...

By user again on 20.12.2006 - 13:12

By Fox on 20.12.2006 - 18:12
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

Congrats!

By AndrewR on 20.12.2006 - 19:12
works 100%. first crack i've used that really works. thank you and well done!

By Coward on 20.12.2006 - 20:12
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!

By Razer on 20.12.2006 - 20:12

re-arm reset?

By the dude on 20.12.2006 - 21:12
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?

yepiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

By Jas on 20.12.2006 - 21:12
i have tried this looks as if it works but im still showing 30 days but its not counting down

Not working

By Kalel on 20.12.2006 - 21:12
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...

working until now

By Chris123 on 20.12.2006 - 21:12
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 ) ?


2099-ReArm trick

By bob on 20.12.2006 - 22:12
wot does this mean (windows vista needs to be applied with 2099-rearm trick)
thaks

workinggggg

By worbill on 20.12.2006 - 22:12
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 send a x64 cpu?....

By 64fan on 20.12.2006 - 22:12

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...

By ProtectedMemory on 20.12.2006 - 22:12
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!

Just Wondering?

By Curious on 21.12.2006 - 00:12
do you have to re-install vista again? as instructed, or can you just apply the carck

still works

By Chris123 on 21.12.2006 - 00:12
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)


S A W E E T - Awesome job !

By xkronite on 21.12.2006 - 00:12
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.

Just Wondering

By Curious on 21.12.2006 - 00:12
excellent! thank you.

Theft ?

By Chris123 on 21.12.2006 - 01:12

Apply the crack after TEST

By Snuffy on 21.12.2006 - 01:12
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..

still works

By Chris123 on 21.12.2006 - 01:12
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

By bob on 21.12.2006 - 01:12
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

Not working with 64 bit at all

By hercules on 21.12.2006 - 01:12
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 :(

why fox says to rename drivers...

By woxydoxy on 21.12.2006 - 01:12
because the next windows update might contain a auto-kill for timerstop.sys


does it work on x64 vista for somebody?

By Iook on 21.12.2006 - 04:12
are windows update working with this crack ?

It Works

By Vista Ultimate on 21.12.2006 - 06:12
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.

Its Working

By kevinarjun on 21.12.2006 - 06:12
thanks keznews its working....

Just Wondering

By Curious on 21.12.2006 - 06:12
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?

raven tools

By vista on 21.12.2006 - 06:12
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!

By 1clicc on 21.12.2006 - 07:12
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.

Re: *New Method* Windows Vista Time Crack

By Harry on 21.12.2006 - 09:12
one month old. the timer counts down during the time the system is active.

Well it simply works !!!!!

By Chris123 on 21.12.2006 - 09:12
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 !!!!!!!

This is no activation...

By well..... on 21.12.2006 - 10:12
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)?

one question?????

By throbber on 21.12.2006 - 11:12
so you have to apply the re-arm trick in step 2 before useing this crack, yes?????

Congratulations !!!!!!!

By diggit on 21.12.2006 - 11:12
i will test it...but if it works it is very impressive...

thank very much to the hackers who did a gread job

@wel.....

By pAuLhAcKeR on 21.12.2006 - 11:12
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!!!

Dell INSPIRON E1705 - BIOS Limitation

By TrunksVegita on 21.12.2006 - 12:12
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?

TrunksVegita

By SubV on 21.12.2006 - 12:12
afaik, it should work if you'll set any date above 2038. good luck.

timer stop on kms

By worldcom on 21.12.2006 - 19:12
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.

stolen this and that

By worldcom on 21.12.2006 - 19:12
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.

credits

By Shadowchaser on 21.12.2006 - 20:12
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.

Simple

By Fox on 21.12.2006 - 20:12
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.



Works great so far

By Steve Jobs on 21.12.2006 - 21:12

anyone got the updates on?
should i disable them?

Umm, why not just always rearm?

By Eron on 22.12.2006 - 03:12
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 have only 3

By shawar on 22.12.2006 - 04:12
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

Shawar ???

By What key?! on 22.12.2006 - 04:12
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.

I need help badly guys

By shawar on 22.12.2006 - 04:12
this the message i m getting ur windows vista expired
and with three choices
1. access windows with reduced functaibilty (internt only)

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.

Windows Vista by Skip Activation

By happy on 22.12.2006 - 10:12
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

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.

comment re Dr.Chang and Patch timer stop

By TAGAIYOT LANG on 23.12.2006 - 12:12
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..

@TAGAIYOT LANG

By pAuLhAcKeR on 23.12.2006 - 13:12
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!)

Confirmation!

BUG IN PATCH??

By timebomber on 23.12.2006 - 14:12
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

IT DOES NOT MATTER.

By c4p0ne on 23.12.2006 - 23:12
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!!

All for nothing

By masterbas on 23.12.2006 - 23:12
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

RE: Keygen's will be useless!!!!!!! Permanent crack that actually uses activation would be better!!!!1

By nick on 23.12.2006 - 23:12
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!!!!

KMS IS THE WAY

By THE CAT on 24.12.2006 - 00:12
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.

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..

Vista Crack

By Hotmouth on 24.12.2006 - 06:12
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.

Works

By Chevy on 24.12.2006 - 11:12
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 ???

Vista Ultimate 64bit edition also works.

By Gygrass on 24.12.2006 - 15:12
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.

By nick on 24.12.2006 - 17:12
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.

Answer

By Chevy on 24.12.2006 - 18:12
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.

AT LAST

By Chevy on 24.12.2006 - 18:12
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.


It sometimes starts counting back

By Jan on 24.12.2006 - 18:12
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!!

dual boot

By ryan on 24.12.2006 - 21:12
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 .

Re: Dual Boot

By MM on 24.12.2006 - 21:12
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.

Does anybody agree?

By MM on 24.12.2006 - 22:12
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...

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.

just a tad bit of info... loggin on during Windows Activation dialog appears

By dusty on 25.12.2006 - 01:12
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.

New timerstopper

By Dr webber on 25.12.2006 - 01:12

cant see the sevice running in services.msc

By buster on 25.12.2006 - 03:12

'no 64 no future'

By steveman on 25.12.2006 - 05:12
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.

"no 64 no future"

By user on 25.12.2006 - 07:12

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.

it works great ***100% PERFECT***

By dusty on 25.12.2006 - 08:12
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!

By add on 26.12.2006 - 10:12
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!

not much point doing this

By DD on 26.12.2006 - 13:12
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 you 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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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.

Yeah

By Chevy on 26.12.2006 - 19:12
there are silent updates....you must disable all updates after install.

Permanently?

By El Original on 26.12.2006 - 22:12
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?

YES

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.

about microsoft updates

By windows on 27.12.2006 - 13:12
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?


OK

By Chevy on 27.12.2006 - 13:12
u must in services.msc too

another question

By windows on 27.12.2006 - 13:12
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?

Will they beat it? Probly, Can you beat them? Oh yeah!

By Dirte Sanchez on 28.12.2006 - 08:12
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?

works perfect

By lars on 28.12.2006 - 15:12
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?

Will they beat it? Probly, Can you beat them? Oh yeah!

By Dirte Sanchez on 28.12.2006 - 18:12
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!

Can Anyone tell me Where are all the timerstop.sys files to rename

By Capt Jack Sparrow on 28.12.2006 - 18:12
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!!!!!

Will they beat it? Probly, Can you beat them? Oh yeah!

By Dirte Sanchez on 28.12.2006 - 18:12
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.

Will they beat it? Probly, Can you beat them? Oh yeah!

By Dirte Sanchez on 28.12.2006 - 18:12
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

Media Center screwed up after patch

By IceO on 28.12.2006 - 23:12
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.

crack unstable

By Vital1 on 29.12.2006 - 16:12
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

re: creack unstable

By bla on 29.12.2006 - 16:12
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.

By dusty on 30.12.2006 - 08:12
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

By Dude on 30.12.2006 - 10:12
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.

Vista RTM

By MM on 30.12.2006 - 14:12
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.

A New Hope

By supra on 31.12.2006 - 14:12
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?

By Using RC1-2 on 31.12.2006 - 16:12
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!!!

Why would you use this crack on RC1 anyways it's for RTM only.

TimerStop.sys for x64 VISTA

By dada on 01.01.2007 - 16:01
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.

This timer thing work for about 5 days ...

By Dalamar on 01.01.2007 - 17:01
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 ...

Slightly modified install instruction

By jthspace on 01.01.2007 - 21:01
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

Asking Me to Enter Key

By kafworld on 01.01.2007 - 21:01
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?

Activation

By faja on 01.01.2007 - 23:01
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.
