It was therefore legitimate, or was this something from the other world?

• I get phone calls - (516) 673-0633-someone who claims to work for Microsoft by asking me to turn on my computer and other issues.

  A man called my cell phone once a month in what appears to be a scam.

  This person wants me to turn on the computer or to ask me if I'm on the computer.
  This person claims to be working for Microsoft.
  Usually I say that is I don't have a computer or that I have 10 computers, and I don't have time to do what he wants.
  This person warms me that my computer is in danger and that I need to act now by following the instructions of his phone.
  Usually he hangs up the phone once I tell him to call later.
  The phone number indicated in my identity from the last call, he did today 23 Aug 2012 @ 13:00 Pacific time is: 516-673-0633
  I think Microsoft should be very interested in protecting its reputation and its customers to discover why this person called in what seems to me randomly.
  ask Microsoft behalft.
  Thank you.

  It is a total scam! Do a search on these forums and you will find a LOT of references. Never leave in your computer.

• fraud, claiming that he worked for microsoft,

  I gave my email address to a fraud, claiming that he works for microsoft, should I change my email address?

  I don't know there is nothing much he can do with just an e-mail address with the exception of spam to your Inbox with unwanted or of links to viruses to hack into your account. If you have a feeling of insecurity, then create a password stronger, make sure your security options are configured so that you can reset your password with another email address or phone number, etc.. If your profile contains too much personal information, then you can clean it up a bit. E-mail addresses are supposed to have some very basic information. Don't open strange e-mail and do not click on email links even if it appears to come from Microsoft (the old trick in the book).

  Note: Most of the electronic mail services allowing you block e-mail from certain senders

• Who is nelnet? They keep the call telling me they work for Microsoft operating systems.

  I don't know who is Nelnet, and they want access to my computer. They said that there is something wrong with her and want access to fix. Do you know who they are?

• They contacted me by phone, saying that they work for Microsoft and must connect to my pc.

  Anyone has any experience with the aforementioned company? They contacted me by phone, saying that they are working for Microsoft. When I asked the guy on the phone he becomes condescending, flippant and unprofessional, and I sopped the call and, above all, its connection to my pc. Is that bana fide company? Any comment please?

• I have worked for an hour on a treadmill and the ring of read activity 7 min. In the application of the workout, I chose the domestic market. Do I have to have my phone in my pocket for it from the activity of the hour on the ring

  I have worked for an hour on a treadmill and the ring of read activity 7 min. In the application of the workout, I chose the domestic market. Do I have to have my phone in my pocket for it from the activity of the hour on the ring?

  If you wore the watch - (as your signature "Look" inside) then no - the phone should not be in your Pocket

  Otherwise Yes - it's the only way the phone detects your movements

  Hi, when I click on Windows Update it says that he cannot work and maybe I have to restart the computer. But when I do it always appears with the same. In services, it is configured to automatically update windows and is started. Can anyone help?

  Hello

  
  Method 1:
  You can run the fixit. Check out the following link.
  The problem with Microsoft Windows Update is not working

  Method 2:
  You can run the fix provided in the link and check out them.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/mats/windows_security_diagnostic/
  Method 3:
  You can read the following article.
  Cannot install updates in Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 R2
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/2509997
  Note: this section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click on the number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base. How to back up and restore the registry in Windows:
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/back-up-the-registry
  Note: if bad sectors are found by running the check disk utility and if the attempt to recover bad sectors is verified when checking the disk for errors, data in the bad sector might be lost in the attempt to recover bad sectors.
  Method 4:
  I also suggest that you scan your computer with the Microsoft Security Scanner, which would help us to get rid of viruses, spyware and other malicious software.
  The Microsoft Security Scanner is a downloadable security tool for free which allows analysis at the application and helps remove viruses, spyware and other malware. It works with your current antivirus software.
  http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx
  Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner ends 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.
  Important: when running Scan disk hard if bad sectors are found on the hard drive when parsing tent repair this sector if all available on which data may be lost.

• How can I download the drivers for a processor that crashed and does not have access to the internet

  How can I download the drivers for a processor that crashed and does not have access to the internet.  The drivers seem to be the problem.

  How can I download the drivers for a processor that crashed and does not have access to the internet.  The drivers seem to be the problem.

  First of all, please note that you mean a computer, not a cpu.  "CPU" means "Central processing unit". In modern personal computers, the CPU is a relatively small chip, an integrated circuit. It is located on the motherboard inside the computer case. It is not the case itself, nor is it the total computer, which includes the case and what it contains.

  Download drivers on another computer and put them on CD or thumb. Bring them to the computer in question, and then copy them there.

• I have InDesign CS5.5 for 2 systems - my laptop crashed and I now have a new with Windows 8.1.  I downloaded the correct version of InDesign, but when I enter my l series #, the message reades # is valid, but the software cannot be raised

  I have InDesign CS5.5 for 2 systems - my laptop crashed and I now have a new with Windows 8.1.  I downloaded the correct version of InDesign, but when I enter my l series #, the message reades # is valid, but the software cannot be found on the system.  It seems that the program PageMaker 7 which is not on the new computer.  How can I load my InDesign CS5.5 on the new computer laptop?

  If you purchased InDesign CS5.5 as an upgrade then it looks like it's showing that you need to provide information about the old version where you improved since he found nothing that qualifies.  You must only choose the old version and serial number.  (I don't know anything about InDesign, nor how it might relate to PageMaker).

  She will need CC instal the software first on the computer and connect you with the Adobe ID to activate. Then install the drivers for the Wacom tablet. It will then be able to use the tablet with the Creative Cloud software
