![]() Earlier versions of the DMI Tattoo Utility put SLIC 2.0 in the DMI but version 5.01 installs SLIC 2.1, so once I'd updated the DMI with the Tattoo utility I had no problems activating Windows 7. The SLIC you see has nothing to do with the BIOS file that has been flashed on the machine. What I discovered was that the DMI Tattoo Utility writes an encoded version of the SLIC table to the DMI area and at boot time this info is copied to the real SLIC table. Replacing the dummy SLIC table in the BIOS file itself with a valid SLIC and flashing it made no difference - the same SLIC always showed up. I did a lot of experimentation and found out that, at least on my Compaq, there was no valid SLIC in the BIOS itself. I managed to get SLIC 2.1 on my Compaq Presario desktop (which is the equivalent of an HP Pavilion) by using the HP Motherboard DMI Tattoo Utility 5.01 to update the DMI Tattoo. ![]() I haven't taken the time to read all 70 pages of this thread, but I will share my experience with the forum.
