After a reinstall of Windows 7 it says to call to activate

It's one of the stupidest things I've ever heard of! ... It is 1:00 in the morning, why the hell would I want to be on the phone with someone? When did this change? I have NEVER had to call to activate after a re - install before.

It is my understanding that a number of install this the phone activation is necessary. I don't know the number, but some say it's 5. If you change your telephone activation motherboards is almost always necessary. I don't know that there are other reasons as well.

    Hello

    Microsoft offers free support for the OEMs (Dell, HP, etc.); This is why your PID does not.

    "However. This time, I installed the windows dell os disk.

    You can use a Dell disk if you have a Dell computer and there must be for the same model computer.

    Here's how the Dell disk recovery process is supposed to work.

    Read step 3 on the necessary disks.

    If you have a Dell computer, you will need to contact Dell about problems with their recovery software:

  • Backup restore my files back after I reinstall my windows?

    Two points:

    1. make sure backup you on external media, not inside your hard
    drive. If you put the backup on your hard drive, reinstalling Windows
    will be their undoing. You can use CDs, DVD, thumb drives, or a
    External hard drive.

    2. you can use the Windows backup program to perform the backup, then
    use the same program to restore the backup files. Or you can use a
    third-party backup program; Again, use the same program to restore. If
    you do not have a lot of backup, you can even just copy the files to
    something like a USB drive or burn the CD or DVD, and then copy
    their return.

  • After the upgrade to windows 8.1 says file history offline reader

    My windows 8 upgraded to 8.1 en from there it says that I need to reconnect my drive as I've changed nothing except to do a disk clean up nothing changed. 24 of Firefox does not connect to internet

    I also got the notice that the history file drive has been disconnected. I saved files from my laptop on an external hard drive (passport) and because the cell phone was also necessary for ten days, the files were not registered and historical files offline. I have do it I have turned off before disconnecting the external drive. I accidentally solved the problem in this way: I unplugged the hard drive, off file history, reconnect the hard drive where it was (on a hub port), the race clicked for the history of the files. He told me to choose a reader and I chose the Passport, the reader, he had said repeatedly he could not recognize. Then he asked me if I wanted to transfer files that were saved in the meantime on the Passport. Before, I said yes (it seemed logical), and always leading to the history of the files being disconnected. This time, I said, no, and the history of the files went on without any problems, I can say.

  • After the installation of Windows 'important' 3 updates my screensaver started does not. I get a message that says "ScreenSaver:Photo screensaver.scr - unable to locate component".

    Original title: screen saver does not start because MSVCR100.dll was not found

    After the installation of Windows 'important' 3 updates my screensaver started does not. I get a message that says:

    ScreenSaver: Photo screensaver.scr - unable to locate component.

    This application has failed to start because MSVCR100.dll was not found. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

    The screen saver starts after you close the error message. I've never had a problem with my screen saver up to that after I downloaded updates. I don't know how to reinstall the application. I tried Windows Fix - It Solutions, but it does not work. He repeated to me that it was a mistake.

    Help, please. Thank you.

    Hello

    It didn't reinstall the ATL update, it reinstalled 2005 Redistributable. So now, I have 2005 and 2010 x 86 both. And it says that two dates installiation are two days after I installed the 2010. I know 2005 and the update was uninstalled, because I checked after restart the computer and before you install the 2010 version. Very curious.

    But my Screensaver works and access to the camera seemed to work after uninstalling / reinstalling the software. So, good. Thank you.

  • I will be able to reinstall my windows if necessary after the end of support for Windows 7?

    Original title: windows supports

    Last year, I bought Windows7 Home Premium and it works well so far. My question is after January 2020 (after the end of support) I will be able to reinstall my windows if neede? Also if there is no microsoft activation problem help me right here? Also even if the support of the application ends with its suppliers I will be able to download mse, it's to say & essentials of windows from the microsoft Web site myself since the automatic update is not available? or I'll be forced to buy Windows 8, 9, 10 or 11 at this time? Sorry people I know that this issue is too early and not be worried right now but I love windows 7 and I want to run for life so is this possible? Thanks in advance.

    1. Yes, you will be able to reinstall Win7 using the disks provided with your computer, the rescue disks, you have created and/or the hidden restore partition.

    2. where support for Win7 purposes, take in charge ends (for example, activation problems).

    3. There will come a time where the current version of Windows (Live) Essentials is not supported in Win7 - even if your currently installed version of Windows Essentials may continue to be supported for some time.

    4. by the time for purposes of Win7 support, chances are THAT MSE is no longer supported.

    5. No, you don't will be not "forced to buy" a new version of Windows (assuming that Microsoft is still for sale).
