  • Cannot install windows 8.1 help please!

    So I have recently just windows 8 pro on my dell studio and I love him but I am wanting to upgrade to 8.1 windows but the update does not appear in the store windows for me. I tried to reset the store windows but that did not help. I did a check of updates for windows 8, but he said that no important updates must be installed which means that I must be good in terms of updates. A message on my screen earlier appeared asking me if I wanted to update to windows 8.1, so I clicked on install and then a message from the store windows popped up saying that the 8.1 windows installation was not successful on my laptop. So I wonder why can't I install/upgrade to windows 8.1? Moreover, the version of windows 8 that I have on my laptop of volume license, could it be prevents me from updating to windows 8.1? The answers will be appreciated thanks :)

  • Cannot retrieve Windows 8.1 recovery disc

    Hello

    I have a laptop Windows 8.1 (recovery discs are for Windows 8, see detail in image 1).

    My computer mouse laptop left click suddenly began to act as a right-click, the computer froze and started to make a noise, and when I restarted using the power button it got stuck in the loop of auto repair. I tried all options in F8, F9, F10 and nothing has worked. I did a disk check by pressing F2, and then it failed (see picture 2).

    Following this I used my recovery discs and I got the message - destination not connected drive (see image 3).

    Is my hard drive corrupted and need to be replaced? I'm in the United Kingdom, but I bought the laptop in India.

    Also, if I am able to use the recovery discs, I get W8 and not W8.1, which is what I had. How can I recover to W8.1 directly?

    Thank you

    Image 2

    Image 3

    Short DST: Fail > means that the hard disk has failed and must be replaced. You can use your recovery on a new hard drive disks. Just be sure to get a capacity at least equal than the original.

    If the laptop comes with Windows 8, there is no way directly recover Windows 8.1.

  • I am trying to install a new printer, but I get "due to an unidentified problem, Windows cannot display Windows Firewall settings? Can anyone help?

    I am trying to install a new printer, and to do that I know I have to disable firewall settings. I try, but I get "due to an unidentified problem, Windows cannot display Windows Firewall settings? Can anyone help?

    I tried to go into Windows and change the settings of the firewall, but I get the same message.

    I also tried to run an update of the Windows security updates, but same message.

    I use Windows XP Professional Service Pack 3

    Any help would be greatly appreciated?

    Thank you

    HI Maria/Winston.Not, trying to be coy but. I've never had close the firewall to load anything. It will be, or at least should invite you to make a choice to leave the program to run or not? Nevertheless.If you have windows activation hurt you firewall can reactivate manually without going through the bugs that you can not. If you click Start and choose the runtime application. Type cmd, and then press ENTER. When the command prompt box appears type "netsh winsock reset" without the quotes. He'll say firewall reactivated and ask for a reboot. Restart the computer and it will be active again. Just trying to help.

    Hi Winston/Hewlit,

    Thank you both for your advice.
    While waiting for your answers, I pushed all sorts of buttons and downloaded all kinds of programs in the hope that I could break the firewall (Hewlit the printer I tried to install says to disable the firewall to install the printer, and then turn it back on?).
    After a reboot, the message 'corrupt windows\system32 etc' file came and asked me to put in the original disc of Windows XP, I did not.
    Cut a long story short, I have now booked for a technician to come out as I'm totally lost.
    Thanks again for your help,
    M

  • Crash of Windows 7 - please help on recovering files

    I have a HP dv7 laptop that when I uninstall Kaspersky anti virus in order to install Kaspersky Security Suite my system froze requiring a reboot.  But now all I get is blue screen projection system errors.  I ran the Recovery Manager to back up my files, but when I try to retrieve the files on another computer recovery stops working on the 90% mark.  I'm afraid my documents of this laptop until I re - install all software.  I have thousands of slides that I scanned into the computer I need to record and also a file from a scrapbooking software product that I am in the middle of creating a dvd of all the slides which took me several months to do.  Is there a way to backup my files from the command prompt?  Or is there something else I can do?  I went to Best Buy, where I bought the laptop in October 2009 and they tell me that my warranty through them does not have software issues.  The cost for them to retrieve my files would be $150.00 without reinstalling everything.  I don't really have the funds to make them so that any help would be greatly appreciated.  Please give your contribution.

    If none of these works use a Linux live CD to access/copy something in Windows 7

    If Windows does not start you can use a Linux live CD to access it - but be careful and know what you are doing. You can mess up your Windows installation if you remove things from the computer - if you are not sure that someone else do it.

    If you do not have a most popular LiveCD is Ubuntu. Download and burn to a CD using a different computer, then put it in your computer and start him - don't forget to choose the option of trying Ubuntu not make changes to the computer. Then find the files and copy them - you need to search your files in one of the file systems, they will not be in the 'My Documents' folder in Ubuntu. It has a built in CD/DVD burner, or you can copy on an external drive. Confused? That someone else do it.
