Hi again,
It is really easy to erase everything that makes this update. I mean, I no longer have the watermark, for instance. Anyway, I would like to have it hacked, and yes, I was cheated by a seller who was supposed to give me a license but I no longer have any papers to prove and I am nos willing to pay again for my windows.
I am nos trying to cheat microsoft.

This sort of “update” does not roll out world-wide in the same way as the monthly updates. Which means you might or might not be offered it yet depending on which MS server you connect to, and possibly also which country you are in. Also, in the past, there have been occasions where the latest wga was not offered straight away to people who already had a very recent version installed.

I think you will find that when you do connect to a server that does offer it, it is the sort of “update” which is offered before you get to the express/custom option screen, and that you cannot get to that screen at all without first upgrading the wga.

1) I owe a genuine XP SP3 and get WGA version 1.7.69.2 installed.
2) I ran Automatic Update a few minutes ago and selected “customs settings”.
3) MS does not suggest downloading any updated version of the tool !

Any explanation ?

Great idea for the next version: the “persistent desktop notification” is in fact a link to the “buy Vista” page, and of course, your credit card number has been memorized and is automatically pasted in the field! Just click BUY! NOW!
