After discounting lost 8.1 Windows, moreover, Windows 8, asking to activate again.

Original title: Windows asking to activate again.

I used windows 8 on my Dell Vostro 2520. A couple of weeks, I've updated to 8.1 and I had no problem with windows 8.1. But since yesterday, I started to get continuous https errors, even to https://google.com the browser said there are certificate errors (my friends using the same wifi network I use had no such problem). Chrome told me that my date is not correct. My calendar showed 10024 year and there was also a warning that the date is out of range. I tried to change the date, but I got the message that it could not be changed. So I decided to restore my windows. I chose the option that keeps your personal files and removes all software. On the update page, it has been shown that "you'll have new update to windows 8.1". But restarting does not help me. I had the same problem of https, also lost 8.1 now my pc is Windows 8. And as he asks me to activate windows... Help me

I would be grateful if you could provide us with the following information:

    If you want Office 2007 updates to appear in the installed updates again, you would need to uninstall/reinstall Office 2007 and install all the updates again.

    Assuming that Office 2007 is installed & working properly and no update is offered when you run a manual check for updates now, you might want to leave enough alone (that is, do nothing) - then see if the 2 updates for Office 2007 SP3 be released next Tuesday (a) receive, (b) successfully install and (c) are listed in the installed updates later.

    PS: The possible causes of the problem are messing with registry cleaners, messing around with the Software Distribution folder, and the fact that it was a computer refurbished when you bought it.

  • After the last updates of windows have problems with start up and now drivers

    Hello

    After the last updates of windows have problems with start up and now drivers. I get an error code 21 when I try to install the drivers AMD apparently missing.

    May 14, last night I had several (automatically) downloaded windows update

    Today, I was unable to boot my computer with Windows - tried the disk check, start checks etc, and eventually had to use System Restore (for help before the critical update to restore).

    Perfection, everything works, but knowing that windows will attempt to redo an automatic update, tried to check online - no one seemed to have a problem and (naivly) thinking I could always do another restore of the system, I rebooted again.

    Same thing worse. Could not do a sys restore either just before restarting or last night. Chose a date earlier (last week) but then lost the USB drivers and pilots display. Downloaded updated but refuses to let my AMD driver install Windows I have a very unpleasant screen... and I must now stop the installation of this update "critical."

    Would appreciate advice how do my installed display driver or whether anyone else has problems following this update

    Thank you

  • Lost my disc Windows 7 Ultimate and have to re - activate. Can Microsoft support it look for me?

    I lost my CD of Windows 7 Ultimate and my motherboard got fried by a wave when lightning strikes near my house.    After a new motherboard, processor and installed memory, she asks me to turn it back on and I don't have the key.  As I have previously activated this product, Microsoft cannot pick up and tell me what it is?  I wouldn't buy a license just because I lost the drive, should I?  Isn't that part of the reason why we register and activate in the first place?  I can't afford to buy it again!

    Any suggestions?

    I had to reformat my computer and lost all my window 8 games.  The store has more than some of them.  Is it possible to find?

    Hello

    Your Store account is independent of any installation of Windows 8. If you have downloaded or bought all the apps store, this information is saved in the store.

    To reinstall your applications after reinstalling.

    1. open the store and make sure that you are connected with your Store account (press the Windows key + I, then select your account).

    2 on the main screen, right click and select your applications on the top toolbar.

    3 in the drop-down Menus, select applications and the sort by name.

    4 in the results, click each application that you want to reinstall , and then click the icon to install the toolbar at the bottom.

    Note: If you have a very large number of applications to reinstall, select a few at a time to reinstall.

  • After the 24 Firefox update, Windows 7 64-bit breaks on reboot. The network in the taskbar icon is not ready (blue circle stopped).

    After 24 of Firefox update, Windows 7 breaks after the reboot. The network in the taskbar icon is not ready (blue circle on the wireless network icon). But I can't do much. I can't open the network and sharing Center (never opened). Even the Task Manager hangs when I click to show processes from all users. I have to do a system restore for a network working again. I never even launched Firefox.

    Wow... I finally have the solution. Windows updates have been applied at the same time I updated Firefox. Bluetooth driver is what broke (which is part of the Centrino wireless). I ended up installing the latest driver from Intel, Windows Update, and then update Firefox... and all is well.

    I thank very you much for all your help. Take care.

  • Laptop HP Pavilion 2320DX g4: computer hp laptop pavilion g4 does not start successfully after update and return to windows 8.1

    Hi, I have recently updated my laptop to Windows 10. He had so many problems and I didn't like it at all, so I just returned my laptop to Windows 8.1.  Since then, my laptop does not correctly every time, and the fan immediately starts to work as well. I can start my pc and connect to my home screen each time.  If the tile is moving or light up when I move my cursor, then I know that I can use my laptop for a little while. It can freeze after getting out a good program. Other times when I start my laptop, everything is dead except for logging on my screen. My Windows key on the keyboard does not work most of the time.  If the screen does not respond the first time I turn, as described above, I can't absolutely nothing on my pc. I can't access the search bar by moving the cursor to top right, I can't open the tiles, I can't spend in desktop mode, etc.  Front I upgraded to Windows 10 and downgraded to 8.1 all worked perfectly, because I've updated from 8.0 to 8.1 Windows almost 2 years.  I have a defective battery. in fact I can only use my laptop if it is plugged. My fan is constantly going, but I don't know if it's my loss of battery or what's wrong with my pc now.  I have described my problem in the Microsoft community forum but have had little response that was not helpful. I was told to go to the command prompt and put in DISM: scan now (which also contained letters more than that, but I do not remember all). I followed the instructions and for 2 days, my pc seems to do better. Then he returned to this problem again. I hope you can help me.  If you have additional questions, post here or please email me at [removed personal information]. Thank you!

    @DWESTDEWITT,

    Hello and thanks for the display on the HP support forum.  What you can do at this point that there are several updates released by microsoft and hardware vendors is running the Windows Update Troubleshooter.

    If this fails to solve the problem.  The only option will be to restore the operating system to the previous, until HP gets the drivers so that they can release them on the support page for your laptop for Windows 10.

    Thanks again for posting and have a great day.
