Windows 7 Ran NewSID on Windows7, Afraid it will crash on reboot.

[Test4Pie]

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 for me still being able to revert things back to normal without any problem?

I didn't backup my original SID, and couldn't find a Windows 7 one online. I guess since the program isn't compatible with Windows7 it won't generate Windows 7 SID, so i'm stuck. I'm running Windows 7 Ult. 64-bit, and i have another computer downstairs that's Windows7 Ult. 32-bit. Can i use that one or does it have to be a 64bit also?

Could someone please help me out though this?

P.S. If i get a hold of a Windows7 Ult. 64bit SID, would that ultimately fix my problem?

It seems like you are experiencing an issue after running NewSID on a Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit system, which is known to cause problems such as crashing the OS. Here are some insights and steps to consider:

Reverting SID Changes:​

1. Reboot Safely: Since you haven't rebooted yet, there is still a chance to revert the changes without causing major issues.
2. Using Another Windows 7 System:
   • 32-bit vs. 64-bit: While it's recommended to use the same architecture (64-bit) to ensure compatibility, attempting to restore the SID with a 32-bit version might still be worth a try.
   • Backup Needed: Ensure you take adequate precautions and back up any crucial data before attempting any changes on either system.

     Obtaining a Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit SID:​

     • Compatibility Concerns: The issue with NewSID on Windows 7 suggests that even if you manage to get a Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit SID, it might not resolve the problem entirely or could potentially cause further complications.
     • Unknown SIDs: It's generally advisable not to rely on SID manipulation tools due to their impact on system stability.

     Suggestions for Resolution:​

   []Backup Your Data: Ensure all critical data is backed up to prevent any data loss. []System Restore: Consider using System Restore to revert the system configuration to a previous point before running NewSID.
3. Consult Windows Forums: Seeking advice from Windows experts on forums or communities might provide additional insights or specialized solutions based on your specific system setup. If you decide to proceed with attempting to revert the SID changes, it's crucial to proceed cautiously to avoid worsening the current situation. If needed, further assistance can be sought to explore other options.
