    i know its stupid i have a legal copy but because i have had to reformat my pc so many times it thinks i have put it on loads of pc's and it is aparrently an illegal copy and as for the WGA tool i hacked it once it was downloaded onto my system so it was incapable of running which is even more easier lol :)

    ok then well it is pretty obvious what to do. You must go to the source (in this case wga.exe and a dll file) And you then take away the files priviledges thus meaning that upon restart the file is unable to funtion meaning that it cannot cover your pc is crap about it beong illegal.

    There are ways to remove it completely from your computer but i would imagine that it would keep updating it for you unless you have selected it not to. Once all this has been done correctly then all the file will do is just remain on your pc and not cause you any more problems or hassle

    As i said before my copy is not illegal i have just put it onto my pc several times which is why i felt that i have a right to find my way around it plus it beats trying to contact microsoft when i can do it myself lol :)

    You might feel you have that right, but in reality you don't.
    And both you and Tycobb should know by now that in depth protection circumvention discussions are against forum rules, no matter what context you place it in...
