  original title: the customer service is horrible

  After I downloaded beta Security Essentials, my computer say suddenly that he was not a genuine copy of Windows running and locked up.

  I called last night and got a foreign person has attempted to resolve the issues and could not, so he told me that I had to call back after 06:00 to speak to someone in the United States.
  So I called back today at 06:00 and got one of those who are running around things voice control that didn't fix my problem at all. After much effort, I got a live person. Again, it was a foreign person (why make me wait all night and get up early to call?!?!)
  This woman told me to restart. I told her that I had rebooted about 10 times since the day before and each time he took forever to load back up the box that tells me that I need to activate windows. She has reiterated, "I ask you to restart." I knew he wouldn't do ANYTHING, but I did and after the session it forever (as I told him it would be) she told me that I had to remind once I got up the box again. I called after that I got the box AND HAD TO START OVER again ONCE with someone new. Of course, she was trying to pass me to someone else.
  Of course, after all this trouble, no MS sells a product key for Vista, it is abandoned. So I need to go buy Windows 7 and she told me that I'll LOSE EVERYTHING when I install it - all my documents and family photos are gone forever. Why not take my money and sell me a product key instead of let me in trouble?
  The worst ever undertaken. Of course, MS doesn't care because they have a monopoly.

  You should not need to buy anything except the recovery disc for your machine (if the built-in recovery partition does not work), unless you really need Win 7 for some reason any.

  That being said - the COA sticker on your machine is readable? If Yes, then you should have no problem with a Windows 7 upgrade version - but you will need to either use activation by phone, or installation methods described here...

  Hello Barbaram1,

  Use the Windows key + R on the keyboard or click on start, select run.
  In the run box, type services.msc
  Click OK.

  Make sure that the Security Center service is enabled and started.
  Probably, you will need to click Start to start the service.
  The Startup Type should be automatic.  The status should be started.

  Let me know what happens. If the problem persists, it may be that there are residual questions of the malware infection.

• my computer says printer ready, but when I try to print it does not say connectedit is a HP 3000 3 month old.

  I have a wireless printer. On the computer it says ready, but when I try to print it says not connected. Help

  Print a Network Setup page using the controls on the front panel of the printer.  See your manual for details.  Some newer HP printers have very summary User Guides (if you have the Deskjet 3000 J310, this means you) and it is difficult to see how - or if - you can print a Network Setup page.

  What you want to do is (a) determine the IP address that is currently configured in the printer and potentially re - configure an IP address of your choice.  You may need to search in the help for the printer on your computer system.  You may be able to access the printer setup utility using your Internet browser or you need maybe connect you the printer to the computer via USB and use the printer installation CD.

  Once you know what the IP address of the printer (and, preferably, how to change), then...

  On your computer.

  • Click Start > printers and faxes
  • Right click on your printer icon, and then select Properties
  • Click on the Ports tab
  • Taking care NOT to click in the list of ports (where you might accidentally change something), click Configure Port
  • Compare the IP address in the box "printer name or IP address.
  • If the IP in the box is not the same as the one you have determined for the printer, make sure.
  • OK your way out and you should be able to print.

  Now... If the above has solved your problem, you might want to know why and probably would like to know how to prevent it from happening again.  Him 'why' is normally your wireless router automatically sets the IP address of the printer.  If you turn the printer off, there is no guarantee that the router will assign the same IP address when you turn back on it, especially if the other devices were connected to your router in the meantime.  There are two methods to deal with this.

  One, you can check the checkbox in the tab "Configure Ports" which always says 'print to this device, even if its IP address changes.'  This is a feature that the HP printer drivers have, but in my experience, it is not reliable.  It works probably better if you change the contents of the box of the IP address of the printer "hostname."  This is something that you should be able to find in the printer setup utility accessed through your web browser.  It is NOT the name of 'Port' that appears on the "Port Configuration" tab in the area above the IP address.

  Two, you can change the way that the printer receives his usual default IP (automatic) address manual, otherwise known as a static IP address.  If you do this, you will need to choose an IP address that is in the same subnet as your router (this means that the first 3 of the 4 series of numbers of the IP address must be the same).  For example, if the IP address assigned to your printer is 192.168.1.105, then any IP address that you select for use as a static IP address for this printer must begin with 192.168.1.  The last part may be any number of through254 2, EXCEPT that it may not be a number this router can assign to something else.  You will find this bit of your router configuration utility.  Or, if your printer was awarded automatically an address with the last part as 100, 101, 102, 103, etc, you'll be pretty reliable if you choose a number far away, but still within the range (for example, 25, 50, 200).

• I use outlook express 6 and I can receive an email of great but when I try to send it after making the necessary changes, i.e. the signature I get the message 'too big for the server.

  I use outlook express 6 and I can receive an email of great but when I try to send it after making the necessary changes, i.e. the signature I get the message "too big for the server" responses I've seen so far tell me absolutely nothing

  Well, the error message says it all.  "" too big for server".

  There is a limit imposed by your ISP/mail server, which you don't mention.

  Not only the servers have limits on the size, this is not necessarily the same for incoming and outgoing messages.

  If you say you use the e-mail program and the name of your e-mail server, maybe we can shed light on the more specific issue, but the problem is definitely with them and not Outlook Express.

  P.S. I'm not sure what you mean by 'signature'

  When you play FarmVille, my computer crashes or I get a notice that "bits have been lost" and refresh the page... usually don't work and I have to start all over again.

  I think that there is a prob with this game, it does not matter if you use firefox or IE. Or another browser. It blocks something. Or causes probs.

  FB needs to fix it. There are a lot of people (in a Google search), who are having probs. One way or the other

• I am trying to reinstall windows XP but when I enter my license key (from the label of origin on my computer) it tells me it is invalid

  I need to reinstall windows XP an accident which can be the result of a virus.  I get the blue death creen when I try to start.  I do not have my original windows disks but borrowed one from a friend.  I am trying to reinstall windows XP but when I enter my license key (from the label of origin on my computer) it tells me it is invalid.  If I don't have my original windows CD how can I get resettled windows?

  The borrowed XP CD is not the correct version of your product key. Since you have a label on the computer, or you have an OEM brand computer (Dell, HP, etc.) or on a generic computer built.

  If you have a branded computer, contact the computer mftr. to get the recovery CD. otherwise you would need a XP install CD that was the same brand (Dell, HP). In these cases, the product key will not be registered during the installation process. The alternative is to use the product key on the COA sticker on the computer with a drive manufacturer OEM generic system. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

• I have xp pro I have activated telephone went through all the steps said active windows computing took me to the login screen, but when I try to log in, it tells me I have activated windows

  I have xp pro I have activated telephone went through all the steps said active windows computing took me to the login screen, but when I try to connect, it tells me that I need to activate windows so I click on activate the itr tells me that windows is already activated, then takes me in the newspaper and did the same thing

  To delete the message you are already enabled, you can force the activation on reboot. If the wpa.dbl and wpa.bak are damaged, they can cause a problem.
  Restart in 'Safe Mode '.
  Rename wpa.dbl and wpa.bak files located in the the\Windows\system32 folder
  Now, the message must be deleted, and you can now re-enable. TaurArian [MVP] 2005-2010 - Update Services
