b0m8er Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 (edited) Everyone does have this problem. Has something to do with User-agent string new IE is sending, and MU not supporting it. Edited July 28, 2005 by b0m8er Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LUTZIFER Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 lol, it does that when you change your illegal serial number becuz the original didn't work with the WGA check, and when you use the javascript trick, and other methods. Windows Update works fine with the default illegal key, but still doesn't allow you to download, but the pages do load instead of a continuous search status. I've been screwin with that since yesterday, trying different stuff out, with no luck, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyways, I already specified that I have the same problems with an illegal key, so why would I be jumping to conclusions. And I've been verified by WGA as being legalwith an illegal key also.

STR Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 here for the guys with problems: # Extract IE7-WindowsXP-x86-enu.exe with WinRAR (or anything that works) to a temporary directory. # Open update\iecustom.dll in a hex editor. # Navigate to hexadecimal offset 0x1034h(4148 decimal) and change 0F 95 to 0F 94. # Save and execute update.exe. # Enjoy.
