How To: Bypass Windows Genuine Validation

I know this is posted around in other places, and this “fix�? has been around ever since the beginning of September, but people still ask me if there is anyway they can get around stupid MicroSucks Windows Genuine Validation services when updating there pirated version of Windows XP. Yes, there is most defiantly a way, and I do know it. Let’s first discuss a few things.

1. What is Microsoft’s Windows Genuine Validation?

2. Why did Microsoft do that?

3. How do I bypass it.

Microsoft’s Windows Genuine Validation is basically code that is slipped onto your PC when you update Windows. If you have automatic updates on, it was even more hidden because Microsoft won’t tell you what they are putting on your computer until it’s there. Anyways…what it does is checks your version of Windows XP for a Genuine CD key. So if you have a pirated version of Windows XP on your computer, it is going to tell that your version isn’t genuine. If it isn’t a genuine version of Windows XP, you will not be able to receive any of the updates (like anyone does update anyways).

Microsoft did that because of the fact that they THINK they can stop people from paying for that OS. No one pays for it because of the hell Microsoft puts us through with their OS.

The fact of the matter is that Microsoft thinks they are smart, and they can stop us from pirating versions of there crappy operating system. Once you see the steps of bypassing this you will believe me when I say that “MICROSUCKS SUCKS!!!�?

Instructions:

Go to the Windows Update page. DO NOT CLICK THE “Custom�? or “Express�? buttons yet!

Copy and paste the following line into the address bar of your browser.

javascript:void(window.g_sDisableWGACheck=’all’)

Press Enter (THE PAGE SHOULDN’T CHANGE!)

Now you may click on one of the buttons “Custom�? or “Express�?

Told you it was so easy that it would make you go crazy. As you can see, it’s a simple JavaScript, by typing that into the browser and hitting enter; you disable that part of the code. ;)

UPDATED: You may not be able to bypass using that javascript code, but don’t worry there is another way. In IE go to Tools -> Manage Add-ons -> “Add-ons that have been used by IE” -> Windows Genuine Advantage and check “disable”. Apply, hit Okay and reload the Microsoft Windows Update page.

UPATED AGAIN: Because of recent changes of IE and Windows tring to secure paying customers before they release Vista, Microsoft has made these previous ways of getting around not possible, but do not fear, here is the new way.

1- Download all updates including windows genuine valdiation

2- Go to start, run, and type in regedit

3- Locate yourself to HKLM \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ policies \ EXT \ CLSID

4. There will be two files, one has no value, and the other one should be set to 1.
Change the file value data that is “1″ to “0″.

5. Open windows update.

6. Select which way you want to go (either custom or express) it doesn’t matter at this point.

7. You will be asked to reinstall the Validation tool. DON’T DO IT! Instead…put the registry data variable string that you deleted back in with a value of 1

8. Click back and then click the update method of choice and voila!

There you go.

Seeing as how I am so tired of

“server fixs” -admin @ torelliwh.com

I will be changing hosting at the end of the month. The fact that in order to get good hosting you have to go with a major company has finally hit me, and it punched me square in my face. I guess all these little companies that think they can come in to cock fight as a chicken and win, are completely wrong. I have had the worse problems with hosts. First it was the all time worst xero-tech.net, and now torreliwh.com. I do have to say that torreliwh.com did give better support then xero-tech.net, but with all there “server fixs” and “updating security” days, I’m so fed up that I’m paying for downtime. Who pays for downtime?! Not me!

So if anyone is hosted by bluehost.com, or knows someone that is, please get in contact with me, and let me know what you think of them. The should be pretty good. I have looked up reviews and they are the fastest growing company out there right now, and got a award for best tech support. The real seller to me is wordpress.org has them on there “hosting” page. Anyways… if you have been wondering why the site has been down lately, that is why.
