• After clean install of Windows 7, Netflix and Internet TV plugin does not work on Windows Media Center.

  Original title: problem with Windows 7 Media center

  Is there anyway that I can replace the whole C:\Windows\ehome? There is a permissions issue, and I can't find a way to change the permissions...

  The only reason I want to do is I did a clean install of windows 7 and the plugin TV Pluzz.fr and the internet do not work on this computer and it seems to be no work around. But I have a PC where WMC works fine and I can replace the entire record of WMC and it should work like the other PC (I think).

  I could do if I ran linux or something, but I'm looking for something simple or a fix to this problem with WMC.

  Hello

• Clean install of Windows 8 coming with the 0x8007025D error Code

  Hello

  I bought a Windows 8 Pro upgrade for my system under Windows 7 Home Premium. I have a Dell Inspiron N5110.

  I downloaded the upgrade Assistant Manager and he ran. Eager to do a clean install, I did an installation of Windows 8 ISO on a USB key.

  I then upgraded my version of BIOS A02 to A11. (Successfully)

  Now, I started the installation by booting from the USB drive. Eager to do a clean install, I had to format all disks and create new partitions.  After that the actual installation has started and he went on the fine up to 35% (Getting Ready files). After the 35%, I got an Error Message with the error Code: 0x8007025D.

  I'm still stuck in the same situation. Since I formatted my whole hard drive, I don't have any BONE to return and that the files on the USB.

  Troubleshooting tried-

  Tried to start installation from scratch. Did not work.
  Delete all new partitions and tried again. Did not work.
  Unplug all unnecessary devices. Did not work.

  After reviewing various forums online, I think the groundwork here would be to recreate the installation drive (USB key). But since I formatted EVERYTHING, I can't launch Manager upgrade again on the same laptop.

  Please suggest a work around as soon as possible.

  Thank you.

  Hello
   

  Thanks for posting in the Microsoft Community.

  I imagine the inconvenience that you are experiencing. I will certainly help the question of fixing.

• Clean install of Windows 10 on Aspire E3 - 574 G does not download executable files

  Hello

  Hope that get responses. A few weeks back I brought a new laptop Acer Aspire E5 - 547g here in Sweden. I have my own MSDN subscription and decided the get rid of default Windows 10 OS I had with the laptop. I downloaded the copy (Enterprise) MSDN and installed a clean place. Then I started to deal with the problems. Any browser that I use, I can't download executable files on the internet. Her work very well with zip files but executable can't do. I put avast license but could not able to download the installation from their site. Not only avast, I can't download any executable. The download will for centuries without updating of the progressbar. If I try to download using download managers, the download is 99% blockage. I've formatted the OS and installed clean several times. I tried different versions of MSDN Windows 10, the result is the same. I was frsutrated on it. I real need is supported now. I hope that I'm not the only one who has experienced this situation.

  "I didn't understand most of your answer." What is my English or the technical parts. With a MSDN and several copies I'm assuming you'd understand.

  With all your changes, the common factors are only the BIOS and an external firewall/router. So if you have a second PC on the same subnet it is the same way or it downloads the extensions correctly.

  BTW when you say 'clean install' are reformat you the drive first?

• After a clean install of Windows Vista, Intel Wifi card is installed and activated, but does not detect the network.

  Wireless card not working after a clean install of Windows Vista

  I did a clean install of Windows Vista Home Premium on my HP Pavilion of 32 bits. I've completely updated Windows via Service Pack 2. Given that the clean install, my wireless card, Intel (r) Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN, was not able to detect all the networks. The Wifi card is listed under NICs as being installed and activated. the hardware on my laptop Wifi switch is set on "on" and the light is blue, indicating that the card is working.

  I can connect to the internet if I connect physically my computer to the modem with an ethernet cable wireless, so the modem isn't the problem. Other computers can connect to the wireless modem, so my Wifi modem functionality is not the problem. The problem with my computer.

  I tried to uninstall the Intel driver and reboot my computer with the generic driver. Install the driver generic, but my wireless card has not always worked. I then ran an update of windows, nothing helps.

  I tried to install the "Intel® PRO /? Wireless and WiFi Link"drivers for Windows Vista (32-bit 13.1.1.1 the latest version and the previous version 12.4.4.5 32-bit) for the Intel® Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN directly from the Intel Web site at http://downloadcenter.intel.com/SearchResult.aspx?lang=eng&ProductFamily=Wireless+Networking&ProductLine=Intel%C2%AE+WiFi+Products&ProductProduct=Intel%C2%AE+Wireless+WiFi+Link+4965AGN. The map didn't always work with a driver.

  In addition to the pilots, I also downloaded a tool of diagnosis of Intel (Intel® PROSet /?) Utility of WiFi wireless connection for Windows Vista 32 -? Bit). Said diagnostic tool the WiFi card is not installed or enabled, however, Device Manager maintains that he is also installed and active.

  Is there a problem that causes Device Manager to say that all is well with the card, but does not map to realize that they diminish the radio signals? Everything's fine, diagnostic, it just does not detect networks around him. Help, please.

  Hello

  The on/off switch actually works?

  Since it is an internal adapter to ensure it is enabled in the settings of configuration/F2 (BIOS/CMOS) often like you
  Start - so look at the screen.

  Have you tried the computer on other WiFi networks? You had a WiFi type problem before the
  Re-install of Vista?

  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  Your router could be suspicious here, you have successfully updated its firmware as a possible solution? And I would like to
  Update your WiFi drivers on computers. How you are positioned in the router? Are there
  obstacles in the path?

  Actually try updating your driver and disabling the network logon.

  Control Panel - network - write down of the brand and the model of the Wifi - double click top - tab of the driver - write
  version - click the driver update (cannot do something that MS is far behind the pilots of certification). Then
  Right click on the Wifi device and UNINSTALL - Reboot - it will refresh the driver stack.

  Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

  You can download several at once however restart after the installation of each of them.

  After watching the system manufacturer, you can check the manufacturer of the device an even newer version. (The
  manufacturer of system become your backup policies).

  Repeat for network (NIC) card and is a good time to get the other updated drivers as Vista like
  updated drivers.

  I would also turn off auto update for the drivers. If the updates Windows suggests a just HIDE as they
  are almost always old, and you can search drivers manually as needed.

• Laptop HP 15-R204NE: clean install of Windows 10

  Hello

  I'm ready to do a clean install of Windows 10 but the only thing that worried me are the drivers provided factory installed with my laptop, it was initially delivered with Windows 64 - bit of 8.1. I don't want to lose one that I have no idea how or where I'm going to do if I lose everything. If someone has a way to understand this help is very much appreciated.

  Kind regards.

  Hello Zarakkhan ;
  
  I read your post on the new install of drivers of Win10 and wanted to help.

  As to the first, the upgrade of active Win10 through something known as right digital, install some sense, when you perform an upgrade on the spot on an existing Win7/8/8.1, upgrade reuses the existing product key for activation.  After you confirm that the machine is turned on, you can THEN do a clean install on the same machine.  IF you do a clean install without activating the first, you will not activate your copy of Win10.

  That said, MS released earlier to a new update to Win10 and (allegedly), you should be able to do a clean install with NEW media made from multimedia authoring tool and have it activate using your product key of Win8.1.  But, I haven't read anyone done this yet, is just a rumor at this point.

  As for save the drivers, there's a product excellent freeware called Driver Backup.  After you download and install it, you can then save out all your current drivers on a USB key.  This will make reinstall them later a simple process. I know it works because I use this product myself.

  Good luck

• I was going to do a clean install of windows xp...

  I was going to do a clean install of windows xp and for this I'll use the drive of the Dell operating system I have. Using what I had to restart my laptop with the disc in the drive, follow the instructions and get to the stage where the partitions are listed. I was going to delete the primary partition, and then just create a new NTFS partition. Once the installation program would end, I suppose that the machine would take me to configure the user account, but how does it work with activation.

  1 should I disable xp first, or given that I have you deleted the main partition is my license already disabled xp and I can use it again? And I am doing something wrong with the whole installation process.

  2.Oh, and by the way, is the license code that can be used on a similar xp installation? As if the machine is xp home edition is installed now, I can do the clean install with xp home edition with media center edition 2005 and work with this version activation code?

  Thank you all!

  Dell OEM of Windows version are tied to the computer first it is installed on. That's why the disc and product 'cannot' book key using the CD in Media Center. You can try to use the CD key and product of the media centre but be prepaired ro reinstall XP home if it activates or the device drivers does not not to the configuration of your computer. I used the words "cannot" work I've seen in the past apparently universal CD a Dell for some reason any worked.

  XP is "off" once it is deleted in the player.

• Do I have to do a clean install of Windows 7 upgrade disc?

  Hello

  I use a retail version upgrade of Windows 7 Professional 64 bit on a desktop PC, I've implemented myself 4 years ago.  I have upgraded to Windows XP then.

  I think I would buy a new card mother and CPU in another year and I hope that my current installation of Windows 7 on my hard drive (fairly recent) current will be able to start with the new MB and CPU - and just to require new drivers for chipset.  However, I know that this will not work and I might have to reformat the drive and do a clean install of Windows 7.  I'll be able to do it from my Windows 7 upgrade installation disc?

  Unfortunately, I got rid of my old XP drive because I'm moving soon and I threw it without thinking.  Do I need to reinstall Windows 7?  I still have my old XP serial number and product key, and of course, my Windows 7 product key and serial number.  Also, I have an old system repair disc and could make another if this will help.  Thanks for your advice.

  Zaid

  However, the requirements for the media upgrade is that you have an operating system already eligible such as Windows XP or Vista installed to use it. Since the Windows 7 end user license agreement.

  15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After upgrade, you can no longer use the software that you upgraded.

  So, if you are always denied, you will just have to reinstall Windows XP or Vista and let it do the verification of eligibility.

  Try the following:

  Boot from the Windows 7 DVD

  Click Install now

  Accept the license agreement

  When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)

  Click on drive Options

  Select the disc/s click on Delete

  Click new

  Click on apply

  Click OK

  Click Format, and then click next to proceed with the installation

  Skip entering your product key Windows 7 and complete the installation.

  When you reach the desktop, click Start, right-click on computer

  Click on properties

  Scroll down to the Windows Activation

  Click the link x days before activation.

  Click on the link that says: "show me other ways to activate.

  Enter the product key

• A clean install of Windows 8 OEM - Media Download

  Hello world

  I'm a Rockstar of Dell Community and I was a writer of the Dell community wiki. My Windows reinstallation Guide wiki and related Guides can be found here:

  http://en.community.Dell.com/support-forums/software-OS/f/3524/t/19480753.aspx

  I'm trying to find a download link that allows users to clean install their version OEM of Windows 8.

  There are ways to install Windows 8 with a product key and generic product keys are available, but the installer of Windows 8 seems to accept, then only reject them by saying: unable to connect:

  http://en.community.Dell.com/support-forums/software-OS/w/microsoft_os/4415.a-clean-install-of-Windows-8-not-working.aspx in addition, this Setup requires a previous working version of Windows and is clearly not suitable for a variety of reasons for any new installation on a blank hard drive (which may be necessary in the event of failure of the hard drive for example).

  It seems to be too difficult for users of Dell in Europe in order to obtain the media:

  http://en.community.Dell.com/support-forums/software-OS/f/4677/t/19476992.aspx

  We would like a download link and I have mentioned this to all my Dell contacts and posted on IdeaStorm about this:

  http://www.IdeaStorm.com/idea2ReadIdea?v=1359724583158&ID=087700000008luMAAQ

  http://www.IdeaStorm.com/idea2ReadIdea?v=1359724583158&ID=087700000008YVXAA2

  I lobbied for this on the end of Dell but have not had much luck until now so I need to push him on the end of Microsoft, but do not have a lot of contacts Microsoft.

  It seems no to little interest to write "A clean install of Windows 8" If no users can get media without having to purchase a new license, I wrote, but it is incomplete without a valid download installation source.

  Can anyone from Microsoft, Microsoft VIPs and community stars look at my wikies and ideas IdeaStorm and offer a viable solution, so I can complete my wiki and users can clean install their operating system without any preinstalled junk or have a way to reinstall their OS, if everything goes wrong.

  A direct link would be preferable because a hard disk can fail and needs replaced. Use of the Upgrade Advisor is acceptable, but such that it download the 32-bit installation on a 32-bit computer files and 64-bit on a 64-bit computer, it's not ideal because users will not have the possibility of that they want to take. by example if computer 1 is 32 and computer science 2 (computer problem) is 64 bit, then they will be run in troubles.

  With the product key in hacking the BIOS shouldn't be a problem if the media is free to download. However if a legitimate source is not available for users to clean install with piracy will increase considerably.

  In addition the inability of users to read the product key can also be a problem for the activation of product in some rare cases. I suggest that Microsoft allow / OEM do print the product key in the BIOS as safety net information:

  Edit warnings on Windows 8.1 adding updated:

  Scenario 1: most of the OEM recovery partitions generally do not work once the partitions systems have been modified in any way or an operating system is reinstalled. The user should rely on the internal recovery partition while they are completely baffled after trying to install Windows 8.1.

  Scenario 2: The user should recovery media before installing Windows 8.1 overview - you know as well as I do that some people will not create the recovery media.

  Scenario 3: Recovery programs do not always work. I saw, overall community Dell, many clients have difficulties, create recovery media. They are in trouble, if something goes wrong.

  Scenario 4: The user thinks that they have created a recovery media, but really what they have created is a corrupted DVD set (i.e. used low-quality DVD or USB). When they are in pain to go and use, they do not work.

  Scenario 5: The user made a recovery media and he lost. They are also in trouble.

  Scenario 6: The user suffers from an out of the box starting problem when the system arrives due to misconfiguration of factory settings, in particular with a cache drive I've seen many users have and could easily fix it on their own, but can't because they have no .iso Windows 8 or 8.1 of Windows.

  Scenario 7: A major problem that corrupts any installation of Windows 8 or virus Windows 8.1 and infects USB recovery when the user tries to start from it. A third-party utility such as DBAN could be used to wipe the system in this case and new facility could be made using a .iso and a USB after.

  Scenario 8: Windows 8.1 is a Service Pack. Service Packs have been known to cause a range of issues especially when third-party software and drivers are installed in front of them. Hint, hint factory settings. Factory settings are preloaded with these problems. Its why my Windows reinstallation Guides always recommend to install Windows, then on the stand-alone Service Packs via updates unless they are included on the installation media. Note, that I recommend that you install the Service Packs before the system drivers. Users do not have these problems if they are properly followed up my guides.

  Several scenarios could be made by mixing these 8 above to the top.

  Edit 2: See the comments made by 2 MVP who responded to this topic which seems to indicate that they want to make things worse by removing the download links of Windows Vista and Windows 7:

  So it's very obvious from the actions of Microsoft that Microsoft aims is not to prevent piracy, but double dependent people when their system fails and requires a re-installation of external media (in which case they upgraded to a SSD, or their recovery partition is wiped out. The percentage of those who just end up buying a retail version of Windows when their disk failed hard is very important, something that adds dramatically to the benefits of Microsoft. These business practices of Microsoft are clearly unjust and illegal and something must investigate and pursue the U.S. Department of Justice.

  This part is quite obvious, given that their prevention of piracy is so poor that their policies can only intended strictly to reap illegal profits to force non-legal tech savvy users to pay twice for windows they already paid when they bought their system. It was not the case, they would freely allow users to download an OEM ISO of Windows 8, so that they can recover if their hard drive fails completely, as OEM ISO is useless for a pirate without a license (usually built-in to the motherboard) key and a pirate will have easy access to a copy of Windows 8 without worrying. Again, the only people hurt by these policies are legal users, not pirates.

  Now that piracy is concerned, I further suspect that given poor piracy prevention mechanisms of Microsoft that allow hackers to distribute auto activated copies of Windows 7, etc. that Microsoft would have rather let poor people use a pirated version of Windows to completely block and force them to use Linux that would increase the base of Linux users. So I surmise that they intentionally allow ways for hackers to hack their Windows software anyway, because the poor free moccasins will not pay for Windows do anything because they have simply not the money, yet nevertheless it is in the interest of Microsoft to prevent them moving to Linux because most of the poor is just young, and will later money for licenses of Microsoft. But here again the only systems in question here are systems more alumni who have XP or Vista, licenses while other systems that people are supposedly piracy have valid Windows 7 and 8 license keys that Microsoft wants a double payment for!

  The Windows 8.1 with update 1 .iso is now downloadable without entering a product key. It is downloadable for the OEM license and I've documented here in an updated guide focusing on licensed OEM with UEFI and SecureBoot:

  http://dellwindowsreinstallationguide.com/download-Microsoft-Windows-and-Office/Download-Microsoft-Windows/download-Windows-8-1-retail-and-OEM-ISO/

  This .iso works with product keys well Windows 8 and Windows 8.1. The main issue is to determine your edition. The edition correct will automatically enter your product key and brings you to the screen of the license agreement. Incorrect editing will ask for a product key. Also, there are two editions of 'free' missing; Windows 8.1 with Bing and Windows unilingual 8.1 with Bing.

  Ironically, Microsoft fixed the deployment of multimedia files of Windows 8 (not at 100% but greatly) and then severely broke the deployment of multimedia files Windows 7 a few months later.
