I have windows Vista as my primary OS on my PC. Some days back i installed Windows Service pack 1 which was just released then . To be honest i didn’t buy Windows Vista because i frequently change my OS from Windows XP , Linux , Windows Vista , now i m loving Apple Mac Leopard X . To bypass the activation i had used stoptimer crack so that i didn’t have to register the windows vista and the 30 days trial remain 30 days always .But it was till i installed Vista service pack 1 .

I thought i will get back the 30 days stoptimer thing back if i uninstall Service pack because stoptimer only worked on the fresh windows vista install ( as i had tried it after someday i had newly installed vista it was not able to stop the 30 days timer though i am not sure if this is same for everyone ). This was also because while installing service pack 1 i had noticed windows vista had taken a system restore point .It was a pain uninstalling service pack 1. Vista service pack has three stages . Two are installed/uninstalled at the right time u initiate it but the 3rd one requires a reboot . I got stuck in the 3rd one. First two got uninstalled within half an hour but the third took more than 2 hrs for me and it was just 93% after some 2 hrs . i couldn’t wait to see it uninstalling so slowly and restarted my PC but then again it was the same it was again slow . Firstly it had stopped in 84% for more than 15 minutes after the PC restarted it again stopped at 84% and then again the story was same. I am thinking of putting this uninstall thing while i am going for sleep . Then after only i will be able to see the Timer thing if its stalled at 30 days which was my sole purpose of uninstalling the Vista service pack 1.
