Yay. ^_^ If it makes anything less rule-breaking, you could send me a private message, but I don't think that really bypasses things.

If you have any problems following my instuctions try this .. Google for : windows 7 activation and good luck

Sorry for the delay.

When running Orbit's patch, you must first choose install in the genuine activation key, then select (C) to activate on line.

This will take a long time where is simply seems to do noting. but it's actually running the vb script to modify system file,

You should have no problems that way.

As for legality of anything related to the plus patch or Microsoft, at this point I could care less.

As whoosh stated, you must run as Administartor

I have no idea why, but it doesn't seem to be doing anything. I've tried several different versions of Orbit's activator, and nothing is having any effect. At the bottom right of my screen, underneath the rest of the watermark, a line reads "This copy of Windows is not genuine." Also, this just popped up. I need help. =[

did you try my option ?

1. Click on start and type command (cmd) with run as administrator option or check how to open elevated command prompt
2. Now type following command
“slmgr.vbs -ipk <insert your new product key here>”
3. To activate windows after changing the key, run “slmgr.vbs -ato”

All you need is a good MS key so many you are spoilt for choice
