64-bit (x64) Windows Vista Activation Timer Stopper Hack with TimerStop Crack

Workaround to bypass Windows Vista activation process has been automated with a small utility TimeStop.exe that claims to support crack on 64-bit Windows Vista Ultimate activation. However, if you prefer to do the dirty work yourself, by installing and applying the TimerStop Vista activation countdown timer stopper manually. To recall, TimerStop.sys is a program that runs as a service in your Windows Vista which will terminate and break activation grace period left countdown timer so that it will always stay at 43200 minutes left, or reset back to this duration after reboot, which is treated by Microsoft as within trial period.

It works by either stop the countdown timer altogether even when you using the Vista system, or reset the trial period left to 43200 minutes after every reboot of PC. Best thing with this method of crack is that Microsoft will treat it always as just installed as trial or evaluation system, so you will not be subjected to WGA validation (yet) and thus can access and download Windows Update properly.
