      • Script Refund Request Template: Date Purchased: 5/23/2025 Script Purchased: Dreamy AIO Skiller Elite Lifetime by Zawy Script Creator (tag them with @): @Zawy Reason for Refund: Script is detected, i had an account banned a week in but just stopped using blast furnace, then got another one banned 2 weeks in from crafting part, and finally got my main banned now from NMZ portion. all while not having used the script for even 6 total days in the past 30 from running it on those 3 accounts plus two more that i was building but am giving up now since what i thought was safe isn't. Proof of Issues (required: screenshots, videos, and/or DreamBot logs): Bans Screenshotted Proof of Script Creator Contact (required: screenshots, videos, and/or links to replies): screenshots uploaded Desired Outcome: Refund (back to payment method or store credit) / Issue Fixed / Script Swap. Refunded(back to payment method) Every account that has touched this script has received a ban, i have one that has only been on free scripts and is still alive, i'll just keep that one going on free scripts to see if it ever gets banned(confirming dreambot isnt the issue) but it seems that sadly elite skiller is detected and has been. After giving feedback to help him hopefully get it undetected he just said that bans happen so i'm scared of zawy's scripts now.

      • 🧾 What Is Error Code 40001? Error 40001 typically shows up with a message like: > “Something’s not right. We are unable to complete your request at the moment. Error Code: 40001” This error usually occurs when QuickBooks Desktop fails to authenticate your credentials or connect securely with Intuit’s payroll servers. It can block payroll updates, direct deposit activation, or changes to payroll account information. 🔍 Common Causes of Error 40001 Understanding the root of the problem helps you fix it faster. Here are the most common culprits: Insufficient Windows permissions (not running QuickBooks as Admin) Corrupted company file (.QBW) Outdated QuickBooks Desktop version Mismatched Company Realm ID Damaged QuickBooks installation SSL certificate or browser configuration issues Incorrect or outdated payroll account info 🛠️ Step-by-Step Fixes for Error 40001 ✅ Step 1: Run QuickBooks as Administrator Close QuickBooks. Right-click the QuickBooks Desktop icon. Select Run as Administrator. This ensures QuickBooks has the necessary permissions to access system resources and communicate with Intuit servers. ✅ Step 2: Update QuickBooks Desktop Open QuickBooks. Go to Help > Update QuickBooks Desktop. Click Update Now, then Get Updates. Restart QuickBooks and install the updates. Keeping QuickBooks current ensures compatibility with Intuit’s servers and compliance with payroll regulations. ✅ Step 3: Verify and Rebuild Company File Go to File > Utilities > Verify Data. If issues are found, go to File > Utilities > Rebuild Data. Follow the prompts to back up and repair your file. This step helps resolve corruption in your company file that might be interfering with payroll updates. ✅ Step 4: Check and Update Payroll Account Info Go to Employees > My Payroll Service > Account/Billing Information. Sign in with your Intuit account credentials. Review and update: Principal Officer name Business address SSN or EIN Contact info Make sure all fields are accurate and up to date. Inaccurate info can trigger authentication errors. ✅ Step 5: Rename the CPS Folder Close QuickBooks. Navigate to: C:\Program Files (x86)\Intuit\QuickBooks [version]\Components\Payroll\CPS Rename the CPS folder to CPSOLD. Reopen QuickBooks and try updating payroll again. This forces QuickBooks to create a fresh CPS folder, resolving potential corruption. ✅ Step 6: Use QuickBooks Tool Hub Download the QuickBooks Tool Hub. Open it and go to Program Problems > Quick Fix my Program. Reopen QuickBooks and retry the payroll update. Tool Hub can fix minor glitches and repair installation issues without affecting your data. ✅ Step 7: Set Internet Explorer as Default Browser Even if you don’t use it, QuickBooks relies on Internet Explorer settings. Open Internet Options from the Control Panel. Go to the Programs tab. Set Internet Explorer as the default browser. Under the Advanced tab, ensure TLS 1.2 is enabled. This helps resolve SSL and authentication issues that can block payroll updates. ❓ Q&A: QB Error Code 40001 Q1: Why does Error 40001 appear when I try to update payroll? It usually means QuickBooks can’t authenticate your credentials or connect securely to Intuit’s servers. This could be due to admin permission issues, outdated software, or incorrect payroll account info2. Q2: What is the Company Realm ID and why does it matter? The Realm ID is a unique identifier for your QuickBooks company file. If it doesn’t match what Intuit has on file, you may get Error 40001. Updating your account info or contacting support can help resolve this. Q3: Can I fix Error 40001 without contacting support? Yes, most users can resolve it using the steps above. However, if the error persists after trying all fixes, it’s best to contact QuickBooks Payroll Support for deeper troubleshooting. Q4: Will renaming the CPS folder delete my payroll data? No. Renaming the CPS folder simply prompts QuickBooks to create a new one. Your payroll data is stored in your company file, not in the CPS folder. Q5: What if I’m using Assisted Payroll or Direct Deposit? You may need to update your business and principal officer info to comply with new federal regulations. Failure to do so can trigger Error 40001 when trying to activate or update direct deposit. Q6: How long does it take to fix this error? If the issue is minor (like admin permissions or outdated software), it can be resolved in minutes. More complex issues (like Realm ID mismatches or file corruption) may take longer or require support. Q7: Can antivirus or firewall settings cause this error? Yes. Security software can block QuickBooks from connecting to Intuit’s servers. Try disabling your antivirus/firewall temporarily or adding QuickBooks as an exception. Q8: What if I get Error 40001 after a recent update? Sometimes updates introduce new compliance requirements. Make sure your payroll account info is current and that you’ve accepted any new terms or agreements in the Payroll Center. 🧩 Pro Tips Back up your company file before making any changes. Use a wired internet connection for more stable updates. Keep your Intuit login credentials handy for verification. Document any changes you make during troubleshooting for future reference. 🧠 Final Thoughts QuickBooks Payroll Error 40001 can feel like a roadblock, but it’s really just a signal that something needs attention—whether it’s your permissions, account info, or software setup. With a little patience and the right steps, you can clear the error and get back to paying your team without a hitch.
