  How can I fix? any suggestions please? I can't activate my windows because it says that it has already been used, the cause of this is my equipment got repaired and when he returned he disabled just, please

  I tried to enter my product key for windows, and he just said "this product key has already been used on another computer" but that is the only computer where I installed my Windows 8, I tried the method by which you must contact their office by the number of the machine and you must give them 9 packed numbers and enter this told you on the phone. But I can't contact then given the number of the machine and also I tried to send the technician takes charge, but it did not help, I need help badly please. Thank you.

  Hi Christian,

  I understand that after getting your equipment repaired, you cannot activate Windows 8.

  As the ID of the product gets changed every time the internal components of the machine are modified and when you try to activate Windows it identifies it as a machine to new or different.

  I suggest you contact the support phone or chat for assistance with Windows.

• Device Version Manager: 6.1.7600.16385 presenting no matter what devices or Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit drivers? This has already been answered? If you don't see it you can check or update all drivers.

  14/07/13

  Whenever the device driver is selected there is just a blank page that appears. There are no announcements of any drivers anywhere, or visible by any way within Windows 7 Home Premium. For this reason there is no way to check on all the drivers or the parts of the system to see if there is no system conflicts.  I have a driver repair program that when search enabled for and comes with a list of drivers on the computer and indicates the factors that bear on a date and will go through the steps to change but since I have no way to see the driver manager or it's poster so I can't say if something is changed.

  If I have something again plug it into a USB Port, the computer recognizes that something has been plugged, but that it will not open the directory automatically, as it used to do.  For example if I put in a CD or a DVD that has auto start it won't, so it's just sitting there. If I use Windows Explorer and click computer directory will show a device for example: DVD has a DVD named such and so in the drawer.

  Plug-and-Play is selected and activated, but it seems that it does not work.  If I plug a USB key into the USB (any USB port) it sometimes it indicates with a beep or a pop-up window indicating something was plugged or removed as the case may be.

  If this file has been deleted, if it is to cause such a thing?  This computer (gateway) has a grounded partition which has a restore works however it resets all default settings etc. or can erase all files.  If there is a way to download the missing files, which makes Driver Manager do its thing, it would be a good thing. Any suggestions?

  22/07/2013

  Thank you for your suggestions. They were a good start, I followed everything as suggested, but nothing helped.

  1. as to the question was just a new program installed before this problem?  The answer could be Yes. But unknown to you, because I can't be sure of the effective date of what's going on.

  I tried to go back, at an earlier date, but it did not help.

  2. for Plug and Play - he already is set to Auto and is active, but it is grayed out and I can't change it. So it turns out that I'm locked somehow. Even if I am put as an administrator.

  3. I went into the registry and everything what you suggested is already there.

  4. the problem still exists.

  Always looking for HELP

  DwBent

  Hi DwBent,

  I would be grateful if you could answer the following question:

  Were there any software or hardware changes made on the computer before this problem?

  This can cause if the Plug and Play service is disabled (disabled people); I suggest you follow the troubleshooting steps and check if it helps;

  Method 1:

  To resolve this problem, set the startup type for Plug-and-Play on automatic. To do this, follow these steps:

  (a) click Start, click run, type services.msc, and then click OK.

  (b) double click on Plug-and-Play. If you receive a Configuration Manager message, click OK.

  (c) in the Startup Type list, click Automatic, and then click OK.

  (d) Community Services.

  (e) restart the computer.

  Method 2: The other reason, Device Manager may be empty is because there are some security issues with the registry key.

  Warning: Important 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:

  Back up the registry

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-in/Windows7/back-up-the-registry

  (b) expand the "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE" window

  (c) scroll down to "SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum".

  (d) with 'Enum' selected, click on "security", "Permissions" menu

  Note: At this point, you'll probably notice that there are no permissions on this key.

  (e) click on 'Add'.

  (f) add the group "everyone" and the "SYSTEM" user.

  (g) select "everyone" and check the "read" ONLY!

  (h) select 'SYSTEM' and check the 'total control'.

  (i) click on the button "Advanced" at the bottom of the window.

  (j) on the control of the Advanced window "Reset permissions on all child objects... »

  (k) click on 'OK'.

• On my new computer, Windows has already been installed. I want to return on Widows 7 8 unfriendly. Will I encounter difficulties unresolveable if I attempt it.

  In the process from windows 8 for windows 7, I can install windows 7, and then uninstall windows 8 without difficulty?

  [Transferred from Internet Explorer]

  The main point would be there there for Windows 7 drivers for your computer model. If it is of a particular brand then search the model on their web site and see if there is any what Windows 7 drivers listed. All devices need specific drivers but if some are listed then the system probably came out as a Windows 7 machine and should support the o/s yet.

  If it is a built clone system that is the system integrator themselves do not host Windows 7 drivers but the manufacturers of components of individual system such as the motherboard, graphics etc.

  Windows 8 Pro OEM has the right to downgrade, standard Windows 8 not so much would require the purchase of a license.

  Windows 8 also supports an option called Secure Boot that needs deactivation if implemented as Windows 7 does not work. It is a setting in the BIOS.

• Windows Update Kb2686827 is continually offered by WU, even if it has already been installed

  Thank you.

  You have hidden from other security updates?

  Are KB2604121 & KB2656405, both in display installed the updates now?

  No I have not hidden updates and Yes these security updates you mentioned are taken into account. Now I am sure that the problem is resolved because after restart several times then fact a manual update scan none are available.
