• Phone call about my computer errors

  Hi Hema,

  Thank you for your kind reply.

  I bought the system in a Dell store allowed, but the thing is I'm getting confused on post purchase experience.  The bag pack which the seller gave me apparently local, when I refused to take it, he assured me that I will get a real bag after a few days. I also think that I cheated from windows.

  I will be much obliged if you can read the issue in the context (the conversation with the windows community)-

  My question - what is the use of "slmgr / / ato" command, my system is watch a range error code 0x80072EF7, when I run this command. can be solved?

  response-

  Thank you for visiting Microsoft Community.

  According to the publication of the description and the error code that you get when running ' slmgr / / ato "command, it seems that you have any question in your Windows activation.

  Use of slmgr / / ato command:

  For volume systems, with a KMS host key retail editions or a key to activate Multiple (MAK) installed /atoprompts Windows to attempt activation online. Activate Windows license and product key from the Microsoft server. If you receive error 0x80072EF7 code then I suggest you to try the steps outlined in the article below and see if it helps you to solve the problem.

  My question-

  I can't run these technical stuffs on my computer. I'm scared I might lose the original settings since I'm not familiar with computer terminology. I didn't activate windows, I run the command "slmgr/ato' because of Microsoft technical team asked me to do the same. The reality is that I just bought a new Dell laptop, which came with no reinstalled windows, but dealer told me it communicates me windows 8.1pro as compliment (when I asked him which win. I should use win10 update or win original 8.1). and the cost of windows is not mentioned in the Bill. I was not aware at the time of the purchase that I won't have a preinstalled windows system, because I asked the price for laptop with the desired configuration and win8.1. I never thought that I buy a DOS system. I paid for almost the same price for laptop with "win 8.1pro" brokers in the area compare to preinstalled laptop computer sing.language win8.1. After 2 days, when I realized the question and asked the technical team at Microsoft to see if windows that is installed on my system is authentic or not, and they told me that windows is authentic, after checking with my key.  From there, my doubt starts Can a windows be true, even if the user has no evidence that he has purchased? Is the only information is the product key which certifies the genuine windows? What is the risk if the dealer gives the same key to another customer as a "compliment".

  Once I shared the issue with Microsoft support, they tried to hear me, but I think that they have not properly my concern. However, they asked me to run that command and message showed that windows is already activated. Since then, I thought that it could be someone else can also use the same key, I tried to check this order 4 days after. Since then, this error shows. Now, I want to solve each and every error on windows, I will also be very grateful if you could provide me the only way to learn how to check the real windows.

  response-

  Yes, I agree with you, your concern on the product key. It is true that your computer vendor could give the same product key to the other person as a gift too. If another person uses the same key to activate the OS, then you might get pop up to activate your Windows or other activation errors.

  You can see the article mentioned below to check if your OS is authentic.

  My question-

  Today, I called again to Microsoft helpline years technical support says my concern again. This time they told me that 'the ID of the product' which I use is enabled on other computers, but still found my authentic windows. I wonder, earlier the chat session which is held with the technical support told me that no one can use the same key that I use. If it someone trying to do it won't affect my computer because I am one who is authentic and the first user. I don't understand why are there different versions of the truths in the company for the same problem?

  I feel very sad that the company like Microsoft is not able to do something for their customers like me who are less sophisticated techno and want to become authentic windows user! Now, I think there must be a link any between the 'error', I've mentioned above and even the activation key on a different system.  I'm afraid how it would affect my system if other systems get activated by the same key. I don't know what are the services that I won't be able to enjoy if my windows become ingenuine later. Kindly guide me how to raise my complain about best way (with respect to the argument) to the dealer or authority be it is.

  response-

  If you have a valid key, then you will be able to turn it on again. If you call our support team then they will check into his tool and validate it, after doing this they will validate your key and help by activating the latter, if it turns out anyway.

  Keep us.

  Microsoft has none of the unsolicited telephone calls to help you fix your computer

  In this type of scam cybercriminals are calling you and claim to be of Support technique Microsoft. They offer help with your computer problems. Once scammers have earned your trust, they try to steal and damage your computer with malicious software, including viruses and spyware.

  Although the law enforcement can trace phone numbers, often authors use pay telephones, disposable cell phones or stolen cellular phone numbers. Better avoid fooling themselves rather than try to repair the damage afterwards.

  Treat all unsolicited sceptically telephone calls. Don't provide personal information.

  If you receive an unsolicited call from someone who claims to be from Technical Support Microsoft, hang up. We do not have such calls.

  If you think you might be a victim of fraud, you can report it. For more information, see: what to do if you think you have been scammed.

• Dell desktop computer just ran scan & system - failure of the card mother how fix this?

  Hi, I have a Dell desktop computer that came with an Epson printer & all the other necessary things: keyboard, mouse, speakers, & flat screen.  I bought it in 2009.  I'm on social security, so I can't afford to buy a warranty with Dell, which missed.  My system works fine.  Dell offers, free of charge, a scan to check the memory card mother and other issues.  I do the scan every month.   It was record past in all categories.

  However, I just did a scan on July 6, 2013 and the analysis of response of the system said failure in red.  Then he said: 'mother' I know refers to the hard drive.  I am over 65 and fairly low tech & live alone.  However, I am pretty savvy, computer or as much as I can be.

  I checked the help MSN menu, but could not follow him.  This is why I post my question on the MSN Community forum, which helped me with other problems in the past.  I have also just posted on the Dell forums.  I have MSN as my homepage & use IE 9, it works best for me.  The only email I have is on AOL and I've been there for years without any problem.

  I have Verizon FIOS; If I can't get an idea of how this problem on the forums (in fact, I prefer MSN forums) I'll call them.  They offer free advice by telephone.  If necessary, they will come to my apartment to check my system & require a rate SIGNIFICANTLY lower than the Geek Squad.

  However, I did not do anything to the system.  I have update printer drivers, since the printer has suddenly stopped working when I replaced the cartridges.  I don't think that this should be a problem.  I replaced the cartridges before.  I have an Epson Stylus NX110 printer/scanner/copier & called Epson, they SUCK.  The printer comes with the computer.  I have installed new drivers & the printer works fine.  I do not have a wireless system, & I don't have a digital camera.  The only other conflict can be I have two Microsoft Security Essentials AND free AVG downloaded as my anti-virus, anti-spyware.

  I know that the new drivers, I installed the printer were great, it was an update of Epson which I figured out.  I as well need the computer & printer. I am disabled & only at home much & this is my link with the outside world.  I do a little writing & letters print & printing (Yes, postal mail) to friends & also letters to additional government assistance of my State & County.  I appreciate all the advice and I'm sorry it's so long.

  One last thing: I keep getting pop-ups from this survey company called five votes.  I have tried everything to remove them, but they reappear.  I do not take surveys & I get rid of pop-ups.  I have my Blocker on MSN and AOL.  Could these pop-ups have corrupted my hard drive? I've been doing them for months, it is very likely.

  Thank you, Karen

  First of all - the 'motherboard' does not mean 'hard drive '.  This means that the "mother".  :-)  The drive is the storage processors is the brain and everything connects through... the "mother".

    
  Second - why sweep you all the months?  Unless you are having a problem - well - I suggest you not to do so.  Heck - you may see a false positive.  Do you have any indication that you have a hardware failure?
    
  Here's what I suggest:
  (1) stop the execution of this "free scan of Dell.
  (2) ensure that the drivers of motherboard, video card, network device and peripheral chipset audio are later you can get - on the Dell site for your specific Service and operating system combination label (drivers and downloads section, use your service number and put in the operating system you are using.)
  (3) never use Geek Squad.
  (4) what is the "MSN Help Menu?
  (5) choose AN antivirus software - two is misguided and may cause problems.
  (6) run some scans of malware with the details, I will give you right after that...
    

  Regarding AntiVirus - free are very good: Avira, AVG, Avast, UnThreat

  You could spend ~ 60USD during two years of eSET NOD32 AntiVirus (not more - just product AntiVirus) and which would be more worthwhile.

  Search for malware:

  Download, install, execute, update and perform analyses complete system with the two following applications:

  • MalwareBytes (FREE)
  • SuperAntiSpyware (FREE)

  Remove anything they find. Reboot when necessary. (You can uninstall one or both when finished.)

  Search online with eSet Online Scanner. Remove everything it finds.

  Reset.

  The less you have to run all the time, most things you want to run will perform:
  

  Use Autoruns to understand this all starts when your computer's / when you log in. Look for whatever it is you do not know using Google (or ask here.) You can hopefully figure out if there are things from when your computer does (or connect) you don't not need and then configure them (through their own built-in mechanisms is the preferred method) so they do not - start using your resources without reason.

  You can download and use Process Explorer to see exactly what is taking your time processor/CPU and memory. This can help you to identify applications that you might want to consider alternatives for and get rid of all together.

  For the printer - you have downloaded and installed the form here?

  Therefore, please enter the serial number. the previous version of Acrobat on the second line.

  It will be useful.

  Unless you write your own drivers for XP and using the Windows Driver Foundation Service to help you debug, you can disable the WDF Service.  It will be one less point to start your system and will not not just sitting there working day and night with nothing to do.
