Permanently Activate Windows Vista by Skip Activation with Patched TimerStop.sys Crack

Hackers are going all out to crack Windows Vista activation procedure which is enhanced by Software Protection Platform (SPP).
Until now, Microsoft has an upper hand, with no permanent or foolproof ways to crack or bypass Windows Vista activation request emerged. Instead, various workarounds and tricks to bypass, skip, delay, disable or spoof Vista activation has been suggestion, to various degree of success, such as extend evaluation period, rearm method, install Vista in future year, ‘frankenbuild’ Vista by replacing RTM build WPA files with RC build files, activate against spoofed KMS server, or run and activate Vista with own local KMS server and etc. Now, there is new crack method that able to permanently stop the countdown timer of time left to activate Windows Vista, effectively running Vista OS in full functionality evaluation mode forever.



  1. Install Windows Vista Ultimate edition (or other edition) without product key.
  2. Windows Vista needs to be applied with 2099-ReArm trick, so that the counter of minutes to no activation required period will not return to normal after reboot. Click on Start Orb button.
  3. Select “All Programs”, then “Accessories”.
  4. Right click on “Command Prompt, then select “Run as Administrator (A)”.
  5. If User Account Control (UAC) prompt a warning message, click on “Continue”.
  6. In the command prompt, type date and press Enter. You will see the following:

    C:\Windows\system32>date

    Current date: 12/19/2006 Thursday

    Enter new date:
  7. Enter 12/31/2099 (December 31, 2099).
  8. Next, type cscript slmgr.vbs -rearm. You will see something like the following:



    C:\Windows\system32>cscript slmgr.vbs -rearm

    Microsoft (R) Windows Script Host Version 5.7

    Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.



    The command completed successfully.

    To make the change effectively, please restart the system.
  9. Then reset the date of the system to current date again by typing date again. You will see the following:



    Microsoft Windows [Version 6.0.6000]

    Copyright (c) 2006 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.



    C:\Windows\system32>date

    Current date: 12/31/2099 Thursday

    Enter new date:
  10. Type in current date, i.e. 12/19/2006.
  11. Exit from command prompt, but do not restart the computer.
  12. Download StopTimer.zip, StopTimer.zip or StopTimer.zip.
  13. Extract the downloaded archive file into a folder. It should contains “Vista test crack.exe” and “timerstop.sys”.
  14. Execute or run the “Vista test crack.exe” by right click on “Vista test crack.exe”, and select “Run as Administrator (A)”.
  15. Optional: Press in Test button, and it will pop up a message says 4 timers are stopped. At this time, the counter should be freezed, Check with slmgr.vbs -dlv command, with the minutes left should be the same after a few minutes interval. If it’s the case, continue with the following steps to run the crack every startup.
  16. In the Vista test crack window, click on “Install” button. You will be prompted with “Service installed” message if everything is done properly and correctly. The crack will copy the patched stoptimer.sys to system folder and install a new service named “timerstop” to stop kernel-mode timers in spsys.sys system file.
  17. Exit from the crack, and restart the computer.
  18. The hacking is basically done. Next few steps to to verify that the activation grace period built-in countdown timer is actually stopped and disable the timers from working properly, and make sure that the crack is installed properly. After restart, log on to Windows Vista. Run for a few minutes.
  19. Press on Windows + R keys.
  20. Type slmgr.vbs -dlv to check the time left to activate Windows Vista. If the time left is 43200 minutes that’s mean the crack is successful.




With the crack, you will have the following in the registry:





Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\TimerStop]

“Type”=dword:00000001

“Start”=dword:00000002

“ErrorControl”=dword:00000000

“ImagePath”=hex(2):5c,00,3f,00,3f,00,5c,00,45,00,3a,00,5c,00,57,00,69,00,6e,00,\

64,00,6f,00,77,00,73,00,5c,00,73,00,79,00,73,00,74,00,65,00,6d,00,33,00,32,\

00,5c,00,54,00,69,00,6d,00,65,00,72,00,53,00,74,00,6f,00,70,00,2e,00,73,00,\

79,00,73,00,00,00

“DisplayName”=”TimerStop”





Further information:
  • The TimerStop vista test crack works on all 32-bit x86 Windows Vista edition such as Vista Ultimate and Vista Home Premium. Success rate in 64-bit (x64) environment is likely to be low.
  • The crack will make the time left to activate Vista to become always 43200 minutes (30 days), and will not countdown or reduce.
  • It’s possible to access Windows Update if you install Windows Vista with default product key (no product key entered when installation).
  • During the first 3 days of activation grace period after installing Windows Vista, Microsoft has designed it in such a way that Vista will allow greatest flexibility for users to install required drivers and application during this period, so Vista won’t prompt any reminder message for activation. After crack, Vista OS will always run with 30 days left for activation, thus there will not be any watermark or reminder to activate.
  • It’s possible to pass Windows Vista Genuine Advantage (WVGA) validation, so users able to download Microsoft value-added software for genuine customers.
  • As mentioned above, as Vista will also remain in first 3 days of activation grace period, in theory, Microsoft will not be able to differentiate who is the newly installed system, or who is the ‘patched’ system, unless of course, they check for the specific file or system (privacy anyone?).
  • Users can only view that there is 30 more days for system to be activated in the system properties, but it won’t affect system usage or installation method.

How to crack Windows Media Player DRM


  • Remove DRM header with software like FairUse4WM, Automate unDRM, DecryptIt (lossless conversion of DRM protected Windows Media files)

  • Record Windows Media audio and video files from Windows Media Player with software like SoundTaxi, freeTunes, Tunebite Platinum (lossless conversion with bigger files or lossy conversion)





  • FairUse4WM and Automate unDRM (drmdbg/drm2wmv) vs. Tunebite Platinum



    • FairUse4WM and Automate unDRM support only .wma, .asf, .wmv files, while Tunebite Platinum supports much more formats that can be played with Windows Media Player and iTunes (including .wma, .m4p, .aac, .m4b, .aa, .wmv, .m4v).

    • FairUse4WM and Automate unDRM are free, while Tunebite is not.

    • Tunebite is much slower. What takes minutes in Tunebite takes seconds with FairUse4WM or Automate unDRM.

    • Tunebite uses lossy conversion, while FairUse4WM and Automate unDRM retains the exact same quality of the original wma/wmv/asf file. FairUse4WM and Automate unDRM just removes the DRM header of a Windows Media file. When re-encoding media file you are likely to get artifacts. Usually it is not a big problem for audio files, but the quality of video files can deteriorate significantly (or you will get bigger files, still having lost some quality).

    • Automate unDRM is not an easy to set-up software. It may require a fresh installation of Windows XP. Automate unDRM doesn't work after applying some Windows updates and hotfixes. FairUse4WM is also not so easy to setup.

    Speed up XP

    The tweaks mentioned below are for speeding up Windows XP.

    Disable boot virus detection:
    This feature is available for some motherboards. If enabled it will scan your boot sector for virus infection every time you start your system. As boot sector viruses are rare now, it is safe to disable it. Disabling it will also speed up the boot process.

    To find out if you have it look in the ‘Advanced BIOS features’ section of your BIOS.

    Change Boot Sequence:
    For most PC’s the boot sequence is first set to CD-ROM and then to Hard drive. You can speed up your boot time by setting your OS-loaded hard drive as the primary boot device.

    I suggest to disable other boot devices such as CD-ROM and Floppy.

    Just remember to set CD-ROM as your primary boot device when you need to re-install Windows.


    Disable XP load screen:
    By disabling the load screen you can boost the bootup time by a couple of seconds, if not more. To disable the load screen, open the “msconfig” utility: go to Start>Run, type in “msconfig” and press [Enter]. In the sunsequent window, select the ‘boot.ini’ tab.

    Check the /NOGUIBOOT option and press ‘Apply’. Restart Windows to see the effect.

    The “Bootvis” utility was designed by Microsoft to help system manufacturers optimize the boot characteristics of Windows XP. It’s a free tool, and is available here.

    Run the utility, go to ‘Trace’ menu and select ‘Next Boot + Driver Delays’. Bootvis will prompt a reboot. Reboot and wait for Bootvis to start again.

    Go to the ‘Trace’ menu and select ‘Optimize System’. Reboot again and wait for Bootvis to complete its analysis. At the end of the analysis, your bootup time should be optimized.

    Disable Disk Performance Counters:
    Win XP comes with many inbuilt performance monitoring applications that constantly examine various parts of the system. This information can be of real use to a system adminstrator for collecting performance statistics. However, for a home user, these statistics hold no value and since the monitoring happens all the time, it consumes a good deal of system resources.

    “Disk monitoring”, for example, happens in the background, and turning it off is advisable if you will not be using the performance monitoring applications. To turn it off, type in “diskperf -N” at a command prompt.

    To bring up the command prompt: go to Start>Run, type in “cmd” and press [Enter].

    Move the ‘My Documents’ Folder:
    The ‘My Documents’ folder invariably ends up as the default repository of files for most Windows applications. Over a period of time, this folder starts bloating, and this, to a certain extend results in performance degradation. It might be a good idea to move the target location of the ‘My Documents’ folder to some other partition on the hard drive, or to a different drive.

    To do so, right click on ‘My Documents’, and on the ‘Target’ tab, click on ‘Move’. In the subsequent dialog box, browse to the drive where you want to move the folder. Then click ‘Make New Folder’ to create a new folder, and name it appropriately. Click ‘Apply’ and then ‘Yes’.

    ASUS WL-700gE Router – Download torrents with PC turned off


    The ASUS WL-700gE includes a 160GB 3.5" hard drive as well as a BitTorrent client that can keep those downloads going while your PC is switched off.

    The hard drive is easily user-upgradeable... just pop the lid of the case, and install like any other drive. The only catch is that the router software is on the hard-drive, not in ROM, so you'll have to clone the contents of the supplied hard drive onto a new hard drive before installation.

    Because the Bittorrent client is actually embedded in the wireless router, the BitTorrent transfers don't go over WiFi, which means your WiFi LAN speeds won't be compromised by heavy P2P traffic.
