r0ck0i 0 Posted December 22, 1999 I see chameleon didnt give me credit for the setup.hiv timebomb crack here. So i will post here so you can bow down before me Share this post Link to post
YuppieScum 0 Posted December 22, 1999 Someone in another thread pointed to a copy of the FAQ in the last few days - it's probably worth a look. Drop me a line if you don't find it, and I'll put one together. Oh, and the "setupreg.hiv time-bomb crack" didn't work, so excuse me if I don't bow...

r0ck0i 0 Posted December 22, 1999 why didnt it work? did you put the file in your /i386 folder overwriteing the older one then reinstall? did you have build 2195.1 Share this post Link to post
chameleon 0 Posted December 22, 1999 Yuppie it does work, you just have to replace the on from the cd with the modifed one and then reinstall or do a fresh install.. best bootable cd site to go to is : http://www.angelfire.com/de2/w2kcd/ please get that right peeps!!! also, rocko i did you credit, didnt you see it ? i said thank you Mr. Black.! something which was brought to my attention is that if you all check the jpg i have on my news page as proof, and check the corner where the evaluation thing used to be you can see the top of the leter for the b the d and the one 1 from the stuff that regurlay goes there.. raising another issue, that the modified drivers push the evalutatoin thing down a bit, weird thing is that i skipped way past 120 days and nothing happened. cant we all get away from all this deceipt!? anyways.. i cant complain, i'll have 2195.3 gold soon, and finally no more bull****s! chameleon.kyoshiro win2kbox.8m.com Share this post Link to post
YuppieScum 0 Posted December 22, 1999 I did replace the old SETUPREG.HIV with the new one, and the setup still tells me it's a 120-day eval copy - contrary to reports seen here and elsewhere. I'll try installing anyway, but given the current behaviour is not what I was led to expect . . . Oh, and while we're talking credits, how about some props for spotting the eval notice?

Arkos Reed 0 Posted December 23, 1999 Do not worry about Coreutil's ISO release, I've done two installs with this one: an upgrade from RC2 and a clean one on another machine. There's no sign of any time limit, it even removed the one I had on the RC2. After checking, the setupreg.hiv on the CD shows no sign of restriction. One more thing, the dosnet.inf file on the CD shows this : DriverVer=12/07/1999,5.00.2195.1 So, there MAY be a time-bombed 2195.1 AND a non time-bombed one. ------------------ -=[Reed]=- Share this post Link to post
Steve Rumble 0 Posted December 26, 1999 Well, I'm running at Dec 25, 2010 right now. No time bomb.. Unless Microsoft devised some very tricky time-bomb, I think it's a load of bull****. MS will make so much cash off this OS they probably don't give a damn about people copying it and getting pre-releases. If anything, it'll help increase the product support having people running around hacking drivers to work for games and making an impact on other companies to hurry win2k support.
