Your Windows XP is About to Expire? Don't Worry here is the 100% Working Fix.
Windows Product Activation or WPA is the main problem for users of Pirated Windows XP, when it's Validity expires 30 Days after installation. You search all over search engine with keywords crack for windows xp and windows activator.....etc and finally you get some crap with Embedded Viruses, Rootkits, Spyware,....etc making your computer even more worse. Stop doing that, here is a Patch called "Anti-WPA" which is 100% free from all the above mentioned crap.
Extract the folder Anti-WPA, double click AntiWPA3.cmd to install/uninstall the patch. That's it!!! Now you are Windows will never asks for activation. What's more? It even Activates Genuine version of Windows XP! No CD Key required!!!
The patch modifies:
* HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\Notify\AntiWPA
is added to Registry
* File C:\windows\system32\AntiWPA.dll is added
* HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\WPAEvents]
data for "OOBETimer" is changed {=OOBE}
* rundll32 setupapi,InstallHinfSection DEL_OOBE_ACTIVATE 132 syssetup.inf
rundll32 setupapi,InstallHinfSection RESTORE_OOBE_ACTIVATE 132 syssetup.inf
is executed which will remove/restore WPA-links from the startmenu
How does it work?
It cheats (hooks user32.dll! GetSystemMetrics(SM_CLEANBOOT) & ntdll.dll!NtLockProductActivation)
winlogon.exe to make it believe it was booted in safemode and so winlogon skips
the WPA-Check. (Note: Does not affects system calls by other exe or dll.)
The patch is 'autorun' on eachs start before the WPA-check via
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\Notify\AntiWPA
The hooks are applied when AntiWPA.dll!onLogon was load by winlogon.exe
Winlogon.exe is not altered anymore. Patching (API-Hooking) is done in Memory.
So there are no problems with the windows System File Protection anymore.
Installation is performed via AntiWPA.dll!DllRegisterServer ("regsvr32 AntiWPA.dll").
The file is copied to systemdir and the registrykeys are added.
(Note: AntiWPA.dll is no ActiveX selfregisterdll.)
Uninstallation is done via AntiWPA.dll!DllUnRegisterServer ("regsvr32 -u AntiWPA.dll").
