During activation of Windows 8, it says that's a facility upgrade, not clean.
I have a copy of Windows 8 Pro (in his original box) and nothing in the box that contains the word "Upgrade Version" written on it. There is also nothing written on the upgrade to the product key card. However, when I did a clean install and activate it with the product key, it invites the mistake, and said that it's "install upgrade, not pure".
All commercial versions of Windows 8 is updated. Only the OEM System Builder License is a full version.
To install a Windows 8 upgrade version, you must already have Windows 7, Windows Vista, or Windows XP installed on your PC.
If you have formatted the drive until the upgrade of Windows 8 version has been installed, you will not be able to use your upgrade product key to activate Windows 8. To activate Windows 8, you will need to install your previous version of Windows, and then reinstall Windows 8. Help with the activation process, contact technical support.

My wife tried to update firefox and since then it will not open. When I click it a window appears and says that I have to finish the upgrade a previous version by restarting. When I reboot nothing changes.
If the files have already been downloaded, then delete the files in the folder updates\0 and updates.
You can also remove active - update.xml, or even updates.xml (stores the history of update).- http://KB.mozillazine.org/Software_Update (Update works not properly)
C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Mozilla Firefox\updates (%LOCALAPPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Mozilla Firefox)
Do a cleaning (re) install and delete the folder of the program Firefox (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\).
Download a new copy of Firefox and save the file to the desktop.
- Firefox 8.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
Uninstall your current version of Firefox if possible.
- Do NOT remove the data of a personal nature when you uninstall the current version or you lose your bookmarks and other data in the profile folder.
Delete the program folder Firefox before installing newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
- It is important to remove the Firefox program folder to delete all the files and make sure that there is no problem with the files that were the remains after uninstallation.
Your bookmarks and other profile data stored in the Firefox profile folder and will not be affected by a relocation, but make sure that you do not select delete data of a personal nature if you uninstall Firefox.

Hello my pblem is that my Windows media player does not play wen I insert my dvd disc it say that a compatiable device is not installed please help me thanks in advance
Hello
Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double-click on the device - driver tab - click
Update the drivers (this will probably do nothing) - then RIGHT click the drive - UNINSTALL - REBOOT
This will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue below.
Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a loose cable or
slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.Your CD or DVD drive is missing or is not recognized by Windows or other programs

The software was initially loaded on the computer that has been upgraded. The upgrade would not work, so the technician needed to install the full version of Windows 7. When I try to install Office 2007 Standard, the registration Web site says that the product key is not valid. The software can be loaded on three computers (that took place), but a computer is the computer I want to re - install the program on.
Use the phone activation option and speak to an operator.

To the file copy stage of the registry would be game. It could be a permissions issue, you could mount the drive in a different Windows NT installation type and set the permissions.

Hi, when I click on Windows Update it says that he cannot work and maybe I have to restart the computer. But when I do it always appears with the same. In services, it is configured to automatically update windows and is started. Can anyone help?
Hello
Method 1:
You can run the fixit. Check out the following link.

http://support.Microsoft.com/mats/windows_update/Method 2:
You can run the fix provided in the link and check out them.
Resolve security issues to protect and secure Windows automatically
http://support.Microsoft.com/mats/windows_security_diagnostic/Method 3:
You can read the following article.
Cannot install updates in Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 R2
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/2509997
Note: 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. How to back up and restore the registry in Windows:
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/back-up-the-registry
Note: if bad sectors are found by running the check disk utility and if the attempt to recover bad sectors is verified when checking the disk for errors, data in the bad sector might be lost in the attempt to recover bad sectors.Method 4:
I also suggest that you scan your computer with the Microsoft Security Scanner, which would help us to get rid of viruses, spyware and other malicious software.
The Microsoft Security Scanner is a downloadable security tool for free which allows analysis at the application and helps remove viruses, spyware and other malware. It works with your current antivirus software.
http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx
Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner ends 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.
Important: when running Scan disk hard if bad sectors are found on the hard drive when parsing tent repair this sector if all available on which data may be lost.See also:

About 1 week ago my aero wasn't on when I started my pc. When I tried to turn on I couldn't, could not choose aero theme and the built-in Troubleshooter could not find fault. So I tried the fixit windows application and it says that my graphics card does not support aero. I find it very strange because it worked the day before and then suddenly stopped. Tried reinstalling the drivers but it still does not work. I have a card ATI Radeon HD 5570. Help, please! :)
If you have updated your Windows then uninstall the update of platform for Windows 7 (KB2670838) and your problem should be solved.
Before I updated my Windows this month I just checked if Microsoft still offer this update. This is in the optional list. I installed so I thought to manually upgrade to IE10 because he wasn't in the IE9 update list. So I did manually and after that check updates again and to my surprise this update has disappeared completely. I have an old PC as well, and after installing all the updates I still have no problems so far. I recommend that you upgrade to IE10 after uninstalling this update (if you updated with that and faced the problem) to get rid of the update forever. But do it at your own risk, because I never updated my machine with this defective update and see if that caused any problems with my machine. -
