Further information:
The TimerStop vista test crack works on all 32-bit x86 Windows Vista edition suc
h as Vista Ultimate and Vista Home Premium. Success rate in 64-bit (x64) environ
ment is likely to be low.
The crack will make the time left to activate Vista to become always 43200 minut
es (30 days), and will not countdown or reduce.
Its possible to access Windows Update if you install Windows Vista with default p
roduct key (no product key entered when installation).
During the first 3 days of activation grace period after installing Windows Vist
a, Microsoft has designed it in such a way that Vista will allow greatest flexib
ility for users to install required drivers and application during this period,
so Vista wont prompt any reminder message for activation. After crack, Vista OS w
ill always run with 30 days left for activation, thus there will not be any wate
rmark or reminder to activate.
Its 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 grac
e period, in theory, Microsoft will not be able to differentiate who is the newl
y 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 wont affect system usage or installation method.

pdates, visit ways to remove or uninstall the Vista validation tool.
