my test lap top for windows 7

is a dell  pentium 4  1.6ghz, 500mb ram, 40 g harddrive
a 32mb nvidia geforce2 go  video card,

this is a good test machine for windows 7, as it is below the minimum hardware requirment

windows 7 does not have drivers for the video card, the sound, the network
however once i installed the  x p drivers from dell, windows 7 has updates for the sound and network card.
however windows 7  has good driver for the usb wireless adaptor

i am now testing  build 7264
indeed , i dont think it takes that treasured key from microsoft

now it becomes a game of making my copy of 7264 genuine with
an activator
i have used this activator  a dozen times with peculiar results, just like a game
the non genuine tag has appeared a couple of time, i can run the activator to make the tag disappear..
so far i have not been able to get any updates from microsoft
i imagine its not going to be likely my 7264 will get any updates from microsoft
perhaps  there is no need for updates as we expect another build for 32 bit machine to appear soon

when i was testing  the first rc build 7200, i was able to download  the chinese language pack from microsoft update
for build 7254 i search the web " windows 7,7264, language pack download"
google found

a check  with the world, and i see build 7600 32bit, is now available

so i can just let build 7264  expires in 30 days

one thing i am pleased with windows 7 is  i can still install the little cantonese input method
that allows me to input chinese  without going online to  cantoneseiput.com

maanmo

have been using build 7600 for several weeks now,  there were about 2 weeks left for the trial period

basically trying out windows 7 , is just a game of getting it genuinized

i have tried to genuinize  windows 7 several times without success
to day  i try the newest version
Windows 7 Loader OEM 1.3 by Orbit30/ Hazar (32 and 64 bit)
thanks to the tutorage of shahpar



If You DON'T Have Slic 2.1 in BIOS:
Make sure you are disconnected from the internet.
1. Right click .exe, select run as administrator
2. Click on Uninstall 7Loader and remove OEM logo,wait, reboot
3. Right click .exe, select run as administrator
4. On the list find your name of motherboard
5. Click on the icon (installing OEM info)
6. Click on Activate Windows
7. Restart (in my case it was automatic)
8. Right click .exe, select run as administrator
9. Click on 7 Activation Status

Note: Step 9 is a Anti WGA Blacklister which stops your from getting blacklisted when doing windows updates so you MUST make sure you dobthe last step.






What is SLIC 2.1?
When ever you buy a pc/laptop from a vendor like Dell, Acer, IBM etc they come with SLIC bios. SLIC basicly contains tables that contain OEM information(Original Equiepment Manufacturer).this technology is embedded in the bios of the computer. the main advantage of this technology is that when M$ makes operating systems, they create a product key for each DVD that they are selling so that it can be installed only by the buyer. However when it comes to mass distrubution like Dell Acer, they create a RTM copy so that the dvd that is sent to Dell will only work on dell machines and non other. again this is varified by the DVD from the BIOS of the compter which has the SLIC infomation.Now when Vista was launched SLIC v 2.0 was created and all the laptops/Pcs that hit the marked from a vendor came with that version.Now when people installed vista from the OEM DVD in the OEM machine they never asked for any product key and it was already activated whareas if the same DVD is used for installation in any other Pc (Non OEM) then it will ask for a product key and also you would need to activate the product with in a period of time. So the hacks that came out for Vista was a Bios emulator which actually emulated the Bios of a real OEM , and it used to load while booting and post boot the certificates used to pass thinking it was a OEM. That was SLIC 2.0. but now M$ came up with SLIC 2.1, that means the laptops that has 2.0 will not install and activate DVDs created for 2.1. But hopefully we will have a 2.1 emulater for windows 7 soon that can be installed on customized PC/laptops like mine.

Unless you hard-mod the BIOS, MS can still catch any activators.

At this time, MS already blacklisted the Lenovo OEM key. I will wait until more OEM keys are out before even doing anything.

My boot error code 5 was fixed. Refer to the following link:

http://www.unawave.de/windows-7-tipps/code5-error.html?lang=EN

It was due to M$ changed the boot sector that some of the old ASRock and MSI boards are not compatible. Mine was one of the old AMD board that is running 2500+ for testing purpose.  I am using the ImgBurn method to change the boot disk image and it works. Have tried the floppy disk boot up but failed.

Windows 7 does not have built-in Mail/Address book, you need to download the Live Essential to have the same functions.

$30 is only for U.S. students I think. I guess Canadian student will pay a little more?
