@@pikaaxyt Vista after SP1 was like that. It just shot up notices and changed your wallpaper to black just like Windows 7. Vista RTM (before service packs) however was much more harsh, blocking access to most programs. It was called "Reduced Functionality Mode."
This is because not many websites really had https right away, but only big ones did in 2001, slowly everyone started adapting to that over the years so it was gonna notify you that it is secure, I guess
2001 Microsoft: "You don't need to give us you name or any other personal information to activate Windows" 2021 Microsoft: "To activate windows create a Microsoft account. To create an account in turn on WiFi, Bluetooth, location, provide your name, phone number and credit card details"
One common tactic back in the day for software that expired after a certain period of time, was to set the clock forward several months or years _before_ installing such software. After installing, set the clock back to where it should be, and your software trial lasted significantly longer. The trick, of course, was knowing how far back was too far back, though.
@@thepwrtank18 The trick worked mostly during the 16-bit and early 32-bit eras. Nowadays, there is only a small variance for error (accommodating things like minor clock drift and time zones) which is nearly negligible. PCs with bad CMOS batteries could still be an interesting experiment though.
I agreed. Adding subtitles, while annoying for the one who makes it, is really nice to have. My hearing isn't something I can be proud of, so I rely on subtitles.
So here's the roadmap to break every single activation: Windows XP: prolonging the trial time (com.) Windows Vista RTM: how to bypass the one-hour logon limit Vista SP1/2 and 7: how to bypass the black screen mode and unlocking personalization 8 and up: unlocking personalization (and the full screen activation notification for 8 and 8.1)
You can also escape the activation window using Windows Narrator by pressing Windows Key + U at any time when the window is up. On some installs of XP, the activation window actually checks if you have network connectivity before opening the website link in the "Change product key" section, so it won't work if you are offline. Windows Narrator however will always launch and instantly presents you with a link to Internet Explorer.
I just can't decide if the new style is better than the old. I love the old videos and I think that Enderman should keep making them but his voice is also rlly nice xd
I slipstream a lot of windows 95/98/Me/2000/Xp I stopped at windows 7 though. You know for some reason I still remember all the Serial Key for Xp YMDCV-2TJMR-YTVMK-XXXX-V7PBD I redacted that string on purpose. windows 95 was nothing to cheat, but by windows 98 they got better at validations, and by 7 well I have keys I bought, but use them in slipstream. Your channel is very interesting I like the nostalgia I get from this sorta videos.
WinXP Pro is great for getting TWAIN devices to continue. Got my XP activated again on my external eSATA HD on my Win10 laptop. I am so pleased with myself and I didn't break any rules doing so. Now I might try to do the same with my labtop and an old copy of XP Home for an old DELL but on my ASIS-i7. TWAIN can rule again! Better than on the Win7 Pro for Virtual-XP. I wrote this with the FireFox Browser for XP. The 20th century can continue for the time being. I am well pleased. Won't use this for web browsing though as trojans can destroy all this fun.
Did you seriously dig as deep in this applet to get to IE? Just press Ctrl+U and seek for help (unless you want the sethc bug)! Btw, I loved the style of the video, go for it!
what if we can change the date in the past like if the activation date is 21st july and we have revert the calendar to 21st jan then probably it should not pop out that windows activation dialog box
Just set it up a few seconds before 12/31/9999, then turning back the clock to today, that way, the computer would work until reaching 1/1/10000, because at that point, Windows XP instantly implodes on itself.
win2k was the best offering. I just wish that Microsoft would do more focus groups among the tech/gaming community. They will never do that because they are a part of the racket.
Any time I try this it doesn't work. It never even says "Windows is already activated". What gives? I've made it work before, why the hell is it broken now?
hello, I have a problem with an older PC connected to an equally old CNC. even if I have a valid license when I wanted to use it I am in a loop with "Activation Successful" at minute 4:39 no matter what I do. I tried almost everything I found on the net but I still have the loop.
