A lot of people do, and there's one way to cure this : Tell him to get a [bold]legal[/bold] copy of windows
Yeh the best way to fix your problem would be as Daniel_G said, youll have to tell your friend to buy a legal copy of windows. thats what i would do, always use a legal os.
rav009 if I had to get XP it would be one of thos 80$ OEM/student version hehehehe...that is if I had to....I refuse to spend 400 on a OS...not as half assed as XP is.....we shall see abotu vista but I dout it will be much better....
this is from ad news section of july 2005. http://www.boingboing.net/2005/07/28/microsoft_genuine_ad.html
Open up Internet explorer, go to tools/manage add ons. You will get a list of services (don't forget the drop down window to uncover more). You will see Genuine advantage tool. Just disable, apply & reopen IE. That should do the trick!
Pulsar cool trick, theres a way to allow illegal software to update now..does that mean you are using illegal windows??
Nope, I read on this forum that one of the members had a problem with his copy of windows, he spoke to microsoft & they told him what to do. He said that the operative chuckled whilst he was telling him how to do it! I chuckled too! I am not at all happy advocating using pirated software, one only ends up with probs in the long run.
LOL, yeh i personaly dont like the use of illegal OS's as you say i agree it wil f*** you up in the long run.. so oioioioi (i dont think he'll be back) should tell his "friend" (LMAO we all know its not your friend) to use a legit version for best results.
