  1. Re:Easy Fix on Vista Activation Cracked by Brute Force · · Score: 3, Informative

    You're right. You have to monitor your Vista key to see if it's changed, using the Jellybean Keyfinder. When you spot it's changed you have to manually attempt an activation. If it fails then you leave it running longer until the key changes again, then retry activation. Repeat until activation succeeds.

  2. Re:Shock, Horror, Surprise... on 25 Games Tested in Vista · · Score: 1

    Weird, daemon tools has been running fine in Vista since at least RC2 (I think). I've got it sat here in my system tray as we speak.

  3. Of course MS will activate it... on Repair Computer, Repurchase OS? · · Score: 1

    I do this at least 10 times a week. Just ring them up and they'll activate it, it has *NEVER* failed for me. Even on an e-machine, which we see a HELL of a lot of. Motherboard + PSU's fail regularly on them.

  4. Re:right... I'll buy that bridge... on Demo PS3 Units freeze on Purpose · · Score: 1

    I remember one on a C64 game. You got to play a Space Invaders clone while the main game loaded. No idea what the game was though!

    You can't just not work. There's some pretty strict rules governing who can move into Australia.

    I remember playin that on my C64 with my friend, literally HOURS and HOURS of gameplay.

  9. Where's it gone!? on Firefox 2.0 RC2 Review · · Score: 1
    Since FF2.0, I've been unable to post using ALT + S on various forums. I figure it's cos they've decided to stick a History menu in FF now. Great, very useful?!?

    So, I work out how to remove the history menu, hoping I'll get my ALT + S functionality back. No. It doesn't work.

    Anyone know how to sort it?!

  12. Re:Most Important Criteria on Is PC World Still Worth the Subscription? · · Score: 1

    Exactly. It's the only reason I still subscribe to PCW in the UK.

  13. Experience the same here on earth! on Walk in Space for $15 Million (Plus Airfare) · · Score: 0
    Being outside the craft when 'there's nothing between you and the ground below but empty space,'

    What? A bit like skydiving? Or jumping off the ground?

  14. Re:well, now that that's settled on Lens That Writes on Both HD-DVD and Blu-Ray · · Score: 1

    But how old is the MEDIA that it's on? Sure, I listen to old music, but I don't bother to crack out the 8 track player when I do.

  15. Re:well, now that that's settled on Lens That Writes on Both HD-DVD and Blu-Ray · · Score: 1

    How often do you play 20-30 year old media? Be honest now...

    What are you, retarded?

    Why does it take so long for you to leave a message? Are you really THAT thrown off track by an answering machine?

  23. Re:obligatory on Windows Nag Windows to Counter Piracy · · Score: 5, Interesting
    It's cracked already.

    There's a LegitCheckControl.dll floating around that you dump into c:\windows\system32 whilst in safe mode, give the PC a reboot and all is well. Windowsupdate etc work fine.

    Not that I've tried it or anything... ;)

    What the hell are you going on about? The only fishy thing here is your understanding of the article!
