Activation message, but can't do it...

A few weeks ago I did a clean install of Windows 8, purchased by the retailer, so trust it as a genuine software. Previously, I had (genuine) Windows XP on the same PC.

Windows8 installation (32-bit) went well spent, did sign-up, no problem.

Now I get messages to activate Windows, but at the same time, it says that I can activate right now... try later... and say that I need to contact Customer Support.

What should I do?  I thought that my Windows8 had been activated first!

I have also several pending Windows updates.  When I try to install the updates, it seems to go through it, but then an error message is displayed, then undo the changes... weird!

What is going on?

Should I stay with my Windows XP?

Who can help?  This is starting to get VERY annoying!

Thank you.

Erik.

Try the phone activation:

1. press the Windows key + X , and then clickrun, and then type: slui.exe 4

2. then press the ENTER"" key.

3. Select your "country" in the list.

4. choose the option "activate phone".

5. stay on the phone (do not select/press all options) and wait for a person to help you with the activation.

6. explain your problem clearly to the support person.

    I have a spare Windows 7 OEM key, I bought several years for construction of the computer, but ended up never activate.

  • can receive messages but can't send on outlook express, need help

    Was just good with this computer that uses windows XP and have added my name is outlook express account. Things were going along fine until it tries to send a response to a current e-mail was greeted with an error message "secure (SSL). ' No, Error.10061 Socket error #0x800CCC0E ' and my message is stuck in my Outbox. Am at a loss to know how this can be resolved and of course need help...

    Check: File | Work offline and in: reviews | Layout: uncheck the preview pane and you should be able to delete the message.

    The account is probably not configured correctly. Double check your settings and if you don't get developed, after back and say EU your e-mail server and send an error message in its entirety. You can left click on it to highlight then right click to copy and then paste in this thread.

    The preview area is called the messages pane. You can activate the message on and outside pane using either:

    • F8 key
    • Press the Alt key to display the classic menu bar > View menu > page layout > the message pane

    I don't know why I can't find it in the new menu (3 bars). There has got to be somewhere.

  • downloaded Adobe Reader 11.0.16 but can't open the pdf - message "because it comes from a developer that is unidentified.

    Have imac with Yosemite 10.10.4 and recently updated Adobe Reader for the 11.0.16. I need to open an application with A.R. form to enter information, but after changing my default to Preview for this file, I get the message "pdf can not be opened because it comes from an unidentified developer". I don't know anything about changing security settings, which is also mentioned, and do not know if the offender is A.R. or pdf file. Is the file to open from the UK Lotttery Heritage Fund, an organization of very broad reputation, who advised me to use A.R. When I told them that when I had used an excerpt info boxes would not extend as it should, when the text is entered, nor. I don't think it will be a rare problem and would be very grateful for advice because it is rather urgent.

  • Windows XP SP3 - Outlook Express receives and sends mail but do not delete received messages. Can you help?

    Windows XP SP3 - Outlook Express receives and sends messages, but do not delete received messages.  Can you help?

    You have corruption of dbx files.
     
    Spend most of your messages out of the Inbox and move the messages you want to record off deleted items, and sent items. Locate the OE message store and then close OE.
     
    Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store folder will reveal the location of your Outlook Express files. Note the location and navigate on it in Explorer Windows or, copy and paste in start | Run.
     
    In Windows XP, Win2K & Win2K3 the OE user files (DBX and WAB) are by default marked as hidden. To view these files in Windows Explorer, you must enable Show hidden files and folders under start | Control Panel | Folder Options icon | Opinion, or in Windows Explorer. Tools | Folder options | View.
     
    With OE closed, find the Deleted Items.dbx and Sent Items.dbx files and delete them. New files will be created automatically when you open OE.
     
    Compact all folders as described below.
     
    To avoid this in the future:
     
    Do not archive mail in the receipt or sent items box. Create your own user-defined folders and move messages you want to put in them. Empty the deleted items folder daily. Although the dbx files have a theoretical capacity of 2 GB, I recommend all a 300 MB max for less risk of corruption.
     
    Information on the maximum size of the .dbx files that are used by Outlook Express:
    http://support.Microsoft.com/?kbid=903095
     
    After you're done, followed by compacting your folders manually while working * off * and do it often.
     
    Click Outlook Express at the top of the the folder tree so no folders are open. Then: File | Work offline (or double-click on work online in the status bar). File | Folder | Compact all folders. Don't touch anything until the compacting is completed.
     
    Disable analysis in your e-mail anti-virus program. It is a redundant layer of protection that devours the processors and causes a multitude of problems such as time-outs and account setting changes. Your up-to-date A / V program will continue to protect you sufficiently. For more information, see:

  • I often receive an email containing more than 10 images, but when I get this message, I can't as a pop up comes up and tells me that I must remove some of the attachments.

    I often receive an email that contains more than 10 images (attachments) but when I get this message, I can't as a pop up comes up and tells me that I must remove some of the attachments that would destroy a part of the message.  What should I do to correct this?

    The images may be too large to send massively as they must be encoded to send by e-mail, and this coding can add as much as 40% of the size of the message.  You can resize to fit the web by reducing their dots per inch to 96 (screen resolution) and then saving them as a compressed jpeg files.  IrfanView (www.irfanview.com - free) will do this for you.

    You can also try Message | To send as an attachment and see if it goes through.

  • Outlook Express 6 - can receive messages but not send - error number: 0x800CCC0E

    I recently installed SP3 on my Windows XP machine and installed Internet Explorer 8. After that, Outlook stopped mail (still receives, if) and gave me this error message:
