It is our policy not to provide assistance to those using pirated or otherwise illegal copies of software, particularly when said assistance would assist with the commission of the act. I would obviously start by recommending that you purchase a legal copy of Vista, but second to that, just download the updates (many of which are security related) and live with the Genuine Advantage prompts displayed. Why expect an uninterrupted experience when you're using something ill-gotten?
