Win 7's build 7000's anal loop

[<moLe>]

ok, so I was an idiot...just thought I'll get that out of the way before I continue, because thats what this comes down to really.
After getting frustrated by some issues I had on my home gaming/main pc I decided I'll be a wise crack and install win 7 while waiting for it to finally appear in stores, doing so because I was rather pleased with some tests ran on the beta at work. It worked fine for a while...that was until it expired. I ran the timenuker crack/patch thing to anihilate the the timer and to let it. I thought everything was dandy and I will be able to run the beta until the official beast is released.
But alas,all were not whell in win7 beta heaven because then the built in win7 beta 2 hour restart thing settled in about a week ago, microsofts way of telling you to get down with the RC of win7. But this is really a miff point for me now, I dont want to reinstall windows for various reasons....
my question is, does anybody by some chance maybe have a fix/solution for this bug? If so please please pleaaaseee share it with me!

Type in one of the RC keys...

You can upgrade, but you just need to make a simple text edit.

You can upgrade. There is a thread on this forum with instructions/links to the upgrade crack. I upgraded mine when I had about two hours left. Works fine for now. Just some issues with waking up when it shut down to sleep, was Ok with the Beta. Anyway I will live with it until the final release.

I can still sleep and get out of it with a mouse flick.

After reading some forums a while back they made it quite clear to NOT put in any of the keys during the install, but rather later on... a point kinda missed on my side... well the notification to activate in 1 day came and went and its still running (touch wood) so im not even breathing heavily around the PC as long as it boots up with no hassles

Do what i have done and set your bios and windows date back to june 15th until the windows 7 RTM is released on 14th of this month.

I tried everything and only going back in time helped my windows 7 install run like a dream.

Did you do full install or upgrade?

I tried typing in the keys it says they are invalid...

As discussed in the other thread:

To upgrade from beta you need to:

- Extract the .iso contents to a storage location you wish to run the upgrade from (a bootable flash drive
or a directory on any partition on the machine running the old build).
- Browse to the sources directory.
- Open the file cversion.ini in a text editor like Notepad.
- Modify the MinClient build number to a value lower than the down-level build. For example, change 7100 to 7000.
- Save the file in place with the same name.
- Run setup.exe like you would normally and the version check will be bypassed.

If you're not upgrading:
Burn and mount, boot from it.

Upgrade.

Look in the lower right corner and tell me if it shows 7000 or 7100.

He forgot to mention that you could rewrite the contents to a disc if you don't have a flash drive or partition on the hdd.
