‘Blackouts’ and missing icons for users of pirated Windows this week
Pirated Windows XP professional user beware, remember the nagging balloon that appear everytime you boot up windows? the Windows Genuine Advantage program Microsoft secretly introduce in SP2? Yes, it is back and this time it is meaner.
Starting Wednesday, users with pirated copies of Microsoft Corp’s Windows XP Professional operating system (OS) on machines that are Internet-capable could find their computer displays going black and with no screen icons visible.
There are 8.6 million users of Win XP Pro in Malaysia and about three million are expected to suffer the “blackouts,” according to Microsoft Malaysia.
To continue working, the user would need to reset the machine’s desktop background. Everything will return to normal. But when 60 minutes are up, the black screen will reappear and the user must go through the whole process again. Source: TheStar
Since this WGA feature is new, I doubt there are any cracks available, the only way to go about the system is to purchase a genuine XP Pro serial from Microsoft. How about downgrading your Windows to Home Edition?
For your information, Windows Vista and Windows XP Home Edition are not included in the latest ‘blackout’ experiment.

Why pay for Omnipage when OCR text scan comes bundled with Microsoft Office 2007? A friend of mine discovered that Microsoft 2007 does not come with OCR or better known as Document and Imaging, which is not quite true, the problem is due to the default installation with Microsoft Office 2007, OCR or Document and Imaging does not installed itself in the default installation.
Hold your horses, you don’t need to uninstall and reinstall Microsoft Office 2007, simple hit the ‘add and remove’ button in Control Panel and select ‘Change’
Select the ‘add and remove feature’ radio button and select ‘next’
In the following dialog box, select ‘Office Tool’ > ‘Microsoft Office Document Imaging’ > ‘ Scanning, OCR and Indexing Service Filter’ and under the drop down list choose ‘run from computer’ and proceed with the installation.
There you go, now you’ve just enabled Microsoft Office 2007 OCR, and its free. Visit this post on how to use Microsoft Office 2007 OCR text scan.
