  • Can not activate Win 8 after removing all of the Satellite P850

    I did everything remove and reinstall Windows 8.
    As in the factory setting.

    But I can't activate Windows. The product key does not work.

    The Windows 8 K OME on my Toshiba Satellite P850.

    Thank you.

    Cheers mate.

    Hello

    The key of product at the bottom of the device would not work!
    The pre-installed Windows 8 would be activated automatically during the startup and configuration of the system for the first time!

    You format the whole HARD drive? Did you remove the 8 Windows from the HARD drive?
    Have you created a disk recovery or flash memory stick recovery in the past?

    ISN'T IT?
    In this case, there is only one option to get to factory settings.
    You will need to order the Toshiba Recovery disk:

  • Easy transfer gets "Can not open the file" after update from XP to 7

    In Windows XP Sp3, I created the Windows Easy Transfer file on a USB - I see it. I did the Custom installation of Windows 7 that seems successful. When I try to access my data using file transfer, the program will not open the file, although he sees there. Is there a way to retrieve this file?
    I saw similar posts but have not found one with an answer yet.
    Thank you

    Agrivated after myself, I found the problem.  And it's simple!  I hope it works for everyone, always in need of response.  So I upgraded to Win Xp 32 bit to 7 64 bit.  I had a 39 + GB Easy Transfer file.  I was getting the same error, «...» "Cannot open a file... "Well, to solve this problem, I opened the Transfer Wizard, thenm go through your files, using the options"Advanced"and my limited to a size of transfer to 2 GB or less.  It could be a tedious job, but it should work for you, as it did for me.  You can experiment a bit more with the measures, but I've just stuck with 2 GB and was fine.  Good luck to you all

  • Can not activate Creative Suite after upgrade to Windows 10

    Until last week the Office has been upgraded to Windows 10. I don't like it so I restarted it to Windows 7. Now when I try to open my Adobe CS product he asks me to activate. It says "due to a change in the configuration of the system, we need to activate this product". Automatic online activation failed. The telephone numbers provided are not valid. The Web site is also not good because it gives error 400. When I talked to Adobe cat they me here directed to support for Photoshop 8 is no longer supported. I have still my records, my serial number and license key but still apparently I can't use my program without activating it, and seemingly impossible at this time. Any ideas or suggestions?

    Serial number and activation support (non - CC) https://forums.adobe.com/thread/2041990

    If the cat person sends you back to this open forum, you are out of luck... only Adobe can help, nobody here can access the activation server

  • "Can not download patch definitions" after update 5.1-> 5.5

    Hello

    After that I upgraded my vCenter of 5.1 to 5.5 - u2, I can't download definition patch more. Yes, there is a proxy between the cross of Victoria and the Internet, but the Victoria Cross can pass the Proxy without any problem. When I click "Test connection", I get "Internet connection is working proberly. "All tested URLs against hepatitis was accessed successfully.

    Right now I have 3 different download sources:

    https://hostupdate.VMware.com/software/VUM/production/main/VMW-Depot-index.XML

    https://hostupdate.VMware.com/software/VUM/production/CSCO-main/CSCO-Depot-index.XML

    http://vmwaredepot.Dell.com/index.XML

    As you can see, all are available and online. My Update Manager shows me even it is online, since in the 'connectivity status' - column, it says "connected".

    My Proxy log shows me that the Update Manager can access the files, but this:

    1424435189.6030 * VCENTER-IP * TCP_MEM_HIT/200 9049 GET http://vmwaredepot.Dell.com/del/del-OM-SrvAdmin-7.2.0-ESX-4.1.0-metadata.zip -HIER_NONE-application/zip

    The file size is 0. "TCP_MEM_HIT" means that the file is already in the cache of the proxy server. To make the strangest things, I have a lab area with two hosts and a vCenter Update Manager which can download files.

    What I've done so far:

    • Upgrade the server vCenter 5.1 to 5.5 - u2 (including Update Manager)
    • Restarted the server vCenter a couple of times
    • Delete the contents of the "C:\ProgramData\VMware\VMware update Manager\Data\"

    To be clear, this is a Windows Server 2008 R2, it is activated, these last updated, VMware Infrastructure is licensed and so on.

    Then I reinstalled the Update Manager component and now it works. I don't know why, I dislike (TGIF).

I have run norton and checked it does not block flash player or active X controls. I'm completely at a loss for what? Help!

    Hi, I could test here with all browsers and see if you can see the logo Flash aninmate. It also displays the version installed FP.

    At that same site you can go to this site: http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/. Right click on the Flash logo, settings,.

    can not activate iPad after extinction

    The iPad battery is not empty? If this isn't the case, then have you tried a soft-reset/reboot to see if that gets it to start? Press and hold the home button and sleep for about 10 to 15 seconds, then the Apple logo will appear if all is well and it will start.
