Major help needed with windows 7 boot problem

[diewas]

Hi. Ok basically I have Windows 7 Ultimate X64 (Build 7600). I know I shouldn't have, but I installed the new OEM, slip 'activator' release 4 thats been uploaded. Uh oh. I can no longer boot into Windows - I get :


File: \Windows\system32\winload.exe

Status: 0xc0000428

Info: Windows cannot verify the digital signature for this file

I tried running startup repair, system restore from the installation disk, but with NO results. I really need some help please. I will definately be buying a product key next time :huh:

Thanks,

Alex

tsk tsk, you naughty boy! let this be a lesson to all naughty boys and girls out there!

i think you may need to format and do a clean install to ensure all traces of the crack are gone. i hope you didn't mess with your bios too?

 

[diewas]

Nope - I didn't touch the bios - but can anyone think of a solution that doesnt involve a clean install/format ???

Just wait a little longer, dude.

Nope. I hope that is all that is hosed.. btw posting things abt illegal cracking, etc may very well get you banned. BE CAREFUL

Just a heads up

you're probably best off asking wherever you found the dodgy crack from mate.

sorry, but we don't like discussing cracks/piracy here.

 

[diewas]

Im not discussing the crack! This is actually a problem caused by other stuf as well. I just cannot finda solution and was wondering whether anyone could help.

Reinstalling without the crack would be the first thing to try. You probably won't get any other advice.

I was thinking that he could hit F5 before bootup and let repair find problems with startup...might fix the issue there

 

[diewas]

I tried the reapair, including the automatic statup repair, which did not detect any problems. I really don't want to do another clean install

Because of the way in which some of these sort of programs integrate with important system files and the changes that they make to them, I'm afraid that the safest way would be to do a clean installation.
