    So now I downloaded Vista SP1 RC but I already had Beta 1 installed. I need to uninstall it but how do I do that?

    I know with XP it was in the add/remove programms but not now.

    Thanks

    well, in our shop we've had lots of the school kid from osu binging in their laptops and pc's to get the vista cracks/bios emulations removed before the final release of SP1. All the press about sp1 disabling all the timestoppers/paradox crk 3.0 etc., has really got some people worried. I don't understand why so many folks just have to try out all that stuff, but it's good for our computer business.

    We've actually been using the voatK Tools (see my sig) to remove a majority of the Vista cracks on clients computers. If we can't just remove it, we just reinstall their orig OS for them as long as they have a good COA/Key. I don't have time to play with voatKtool as much as I'd like, but whoever wrote it was plenty smart- gotta give them credit. The Vista Activation Report(#5) from the main menu, show if it's activated, for how long, if it is cracked, etc.

    I don't know why they're using those things when you can download the pre-activated Dell master OEM :rolleyes: but we shouldn't go further.
