druiddk Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 Hi BoardBabe,You can find the norwegian version here:http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details...77-2ea6b45b41c6I dont think we will be able to get the WGA from download.microsoft.com :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoardBabe Posted November 30, 2005 Author Share Posted November 30, 2005 Ok, wow another EXTREMLY annoying feature by MS.Windows Genuine Advantage Notification (KB905474) is a tray icon that tells you wether you run a genuine XP key or not. Annoying use of resources and looks ugly! Is there any way to fool WU/MU to think you have it installed, so it don't show up on critical updates? I really hate this little trayicon thingy!

BoardBabe Posted November 30, 2005 Author Share Posted November 30, 2005 (edited) @druiddk: Thank's for the link.For KB905474, this is a cricital update. My machine is set to automaticly download and install critical updates, but this one I would like to exclude, is that possible? (Maybe there's a way to set it to be hidden in WindowsUpdate.log or similar?) Edited November 30, 2005 by BoardBabe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoardBabe Posted November 30, 2005 Author Share Posted November 30, 2005 (edited) Lol, are you saying im lying?Uh... why would I do that?Windows Genuine Advantage Notification (KB905474) is real and available at Microsoft and Windows Update for Norwegian Windows XP. It's a small tool that checks to see if you running a valid windows key and shows as a tray icon and a HUGE notification on logon/logoff screen with systemhalting dialog informing you IF you run a invalid XP key. This thing is ALL over the place telling you its a pirated version IF you have a pirated XP, that ofcourse I don't As far as I have found there is no way to uninstall after you have installed this update. Here's a picture of the update appearing on Microsoft Update from today for you who dubt me -Notice it appears under Critical Updates ("Høyt Prioriterte oppdateringer" in Norwegian)KB905474 Edited November 30, 2005 by BoardBabe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cluberti Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 They are "Optional software updates" you need to select "custom" updateI'm not that dumb . But they reference KB articles (hence the KBxxxxxx in the name), but the KB articles don't exist... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cluberti Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 I find nothing on the major search engines for either "Windows Genuine Advantage Notification" or "KB905474". So, this is odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
