Didn't realize anybody else had found it cheesellama. Tried reporting it to microsoft but they don't give a flying flip (i.e. jpegs being saved as bmps).

Yeah microsoft really does have their head up their ass. They need to realize they may lose their consumer base if they cannot keep up with all the sh*t.

Yeah, Windows has to connect to the microsoft database to check if your serial key is registered and paid for. So if you prevent internet access and don't run the system process that tells your computer Windows is registered, it will give you that message. It's more of a logic flaw than a programming error.

I agree with Trevlac, it doesn't look to be a major flaw, just a simple, you disconnect the internet, it can't connect to check it's activation. It does something similar in the Vista Betas too.

Every one knows how to get around these glitches, and if you are tired of getting owned by some 9 year old script kiddy noob half way across the world, use a Mac, or better yet, my favorite , linux.

Its fun because you can just change the registry to never look for registration and then xp doesn't care.

Wow... so reactivating means like basically deleting everything off your computer and restarting everything over. So did you have to reactivate your copy of Windows in three days? Oh yeah, and thanks for that idea for f*cking up the school computers.

Yeah mate, it's pretty surprising to find out that if you mess about aimlessly with your computer, you can f*ck sh*t up.

Consdiering your average stupid user is too stupid to replicate these steps in this order, much less has EVER SEEN an MSCONFIG window, the chances of this happening are very close to nil. You wonder why MS doesnt care? Because people wouldnt DO THIS IN THE FIRST PLACE even on accident.

I disagree. I'm your average user, if not a little biased towards linux. If I had recieved information that killing my system processes would speed up my computer, then I would have encountered that error. Regardless of the severity or odds of it happening, it shouldn't even exist. This bug should have been fixed long ago. Or the OC just needs to WPA him/herself.

Not really that epic. But if you make enough hardware changes MS eventually makes you call customer support to use windows everytime you install a new piece of hardware.

Oh, snap! I better remember not to disable my NIC connected to the internet while simultaneously disabling all my system services. I'm glad I read this, because I was just about to do that very thing for some reason.
