    I updated Win 7 after 6 years. (doh! - needed to, to install some crap Logitech software)

    And today I get the Build 7601 crap in the bottom corner. I tried uninstalling KB971033 and it's still there.

    Any help, please.........I really, really don't want to reinstall.

    Big kiss if you can sort it. :D

    You are in BIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIG doodoo! For ultimate nothing can help you. I went through the same thing 2 months ago. NO way to fix it. I eventually used a very unofficial activator, far from standard. It works perfectly, but activates windows every time you startup.

    Enterprise and Pro are no problem, but Ultimate is big problem.

    It's not *that bad, but you're in the No-Fun Zone right now, G String. :no:
    I have 7Ult. and: 1) I don't get it wet, 2) I don't expose it to direct sunlight, and, 3) I don't feed it after midnight--it's strictly an offline workstation as Microsoft is shysty. :rofl:
    At least it looks like Sylenth is all on this, though. :yes:

    I broke my own rule, after 5 years. Doh. I was frustrated trying to install some dozy Logitech stuff to stop my keyboard lights changing colour. I avoided the KB971033 but nevertheless, reboot and WGA is there! The keyboard lights work properly now tho :D

    Thank you people! Someone here kindly sent me a fix that worked. I'd mention their name but maybe they don't want that. They know who they are. :D Anyway, thanks for the quick attention, much appreciated.

    For people who got same problem as OP search for MBR Regenerator 4.5. It will delete your old activation and reset Windows 7 to 30 days trial. Works for all versions of WIN7. After that you can activate it again. It saved my a** a few times :)

    From readme:
    'Will repair, recovery, and restore all activation system, restoring the Windows Activation Technologies [ KB971033 ] to original state, install trial key, and able to clean boot code, rebuild tokens for full activation reset factory'

    Sadly I am still getting pop-ups warning about WGA and asking me to resolve it, even though the permanent on-screen warning has gone.

    ;(

    Hmmm - I tried that and it made matters worse tbh. Now I get WGA at startup. Wish I hadn't tried it.......though I appreciate the attempt at help. Now I get "Win must be activated TODAY". Yikes. Better get backing up my shit.

    To get rid of this did you try
    'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\Notify' and delete 'WgaLogon'
    and
    'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall' and delete 'WGA'

    close, save, reboot?

    Thanks again!!! I think I have it sorted now, using RemoveWAT. Many thanks to the supplier of that.

    Having conceded I would have to reinstall I spent all day thinking of all the shit I was going to have to reinstall. God, I hate that, as much as I love a clean fresh system once it's done. But jeez, how many VSTs and libraries and hacks and crap?

    Oh well, hopefully all sorted now. :D Cheers for your time folks, very helpful, thanks.

    Just be careful that it doesn't give you ads and other spamware.
