Windows 7 Ran NewSID on Windows7, Afraid it will crash on reboot.
Hi. I ran NewSID, a program that changes your SID with out any knowledge that it wasn't compatible with Windows7. After It ran for more then 4 hours, I became suspicious and after some googling found out that on reboot it will crash your whole OS. Since I still didn't reboot, Is there any hope...- Test4Pie
