Got a free windows 8 after attending a Microsoft event, but could not turn on?

I attended one of the events from Microsoft and offered to download a free windows cop 8.

I received by mail a letter that has the product key and the steps how to download windows.

I required to enter the product key during the installation and installation agreed.

After installation a window appeared and forces me to activate windows?

Whenever I have log - on, I get the message that windows needs active?

What should I do? Why give me something that does not work?

Nothing about the letter, said that it is a upgrade version and I should have an earlier version of windows to install!

Please advice?

Thank you

  • Windows 8 began to harass for activation, but does not turn on

    I bought and installed win8 on my desktop 1 year ago. Because about 1 month ago it will periodically suspend any program I'm running with a screen that says:

    Activate Windows

    Windows cannot enable right now. Try to activate windows later. If the problem persists, please contact Microsoft customer online to activate Windows. »

    Then I click the Activate button. A few small points of spins in a circle, THEN nothing IS is PAST. I click on Contact Microsoft Customer Service and Support online and nothing DON'T get PAST. I have it EVERY TIME I AM being HARASSED BY THIS SCREEN. So I just click on the top left corner of the screen to remove it and continue with what I'm doing BUT IT ALWAYS COMES BACK.

    My internet connection is fine.

" When I close this error box activation of the window by window phone appears and tells me what phone number to call, and gives it me the numbers to provide when asked to step 2 of the process: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9.

  • Default configuration of the Windows updates. Restoration of the changes. Do not turn off your computer

    Hi, I just refreshed my laptop that I got a few drops FPS at random. Initially, it worked fine, but after a while before instaled Norton started to cause me problems. At this time I uninstalled it and when he asked me to computer restatr now, I did. Now I'm stuck with this message window loading. Restart the computer from time to time, but the message is always the same: failure of configuration of Windows updates. Restoration of the changes. Do not turn off your computer.

    At the moment I'm stuck on this window for over an hour and nothing has changed

    Seems that problem solved by itself. As I correctly uninstalled Norton, I just put my automatic updates and restarted my laptop again. He installed the updates with no problem and its working fine. Seems that Norton was really the problem, will keep you informed.

    Drop the question above actually lead to what may be a solution... The fix for Windows Vista pre SP1 fixes an issue with the (cloned) dynamic disks used to store the paging file.  I have two drives on the clone (E:\) which the system information noticed the location of the swap file.  I put the pagefile drive to C:\ in the event where it was the same problem, such as reported in the hotfix, but it has not fixed the problem...  So I assumed that this fix has been exceeded and a coincidence. But the information system showed the swapfile E:\, my dynamic disks...

    What has removed the error is "double adjustment" the return to C:\ drive.  Apparently once is not enough.  I put the pagefile on C:\ managed and rebooted system.  Then I noticed the mistake of volmgr came from miroir3 (second player in E:\) still info system showed the swapfile on C:\.   Weird indeed.  I went and be given the C:\ drive as the system swap drive to managed by activation/deactivation/Executive every car out of the current value, and then back to the desired direction.  After having done that and restart once more the error no longer appears in the event viewer at startup.

    I did some research and could not find anything except a guy on another forum who had the same problem. He said that the problem is a corrupt file openCL.dll and fixed it by simply replacing the file.

    I think that might be my problem I do not know how to identify and replace the file. I tried to reinstall the plugin etc with no result.

  • The phrase after "Set Station models overall" step could not be evaluated.

    When you run a TestStand sequence, I get the following error message:

    The phrase after "Set Station models overall" step could not be evaluated.

    Types of variable or a property do not match or are not compatible.

    Error code:-17321; Types of variable or a property do not match or are not compatible.

    Although I do not understand the above said, the root cause of fixing is a little something else.

    I'll explain the scenario.  The code is developed in TS4.1.0, although this should be irrelevant.

    I inherited a project of TestStand that call LabVIEW modules.  The original sequence works very well on the test pc (which is installed remotely).  Local and remote computer share the same StationGlobals.ini.

    This is why it is strange...  If I use the old or the new code, I get the error message on the local PC.  I was assuming that by using the same StationGlobals.ini would have fixed that, but it didn't.

    When I run the old code on the remote PC, I do not get this message, but I understand with the new code.  I don't remember changing the code that hit the StationGlobals.  My aim is to fix on both machines (at least one remote).

    It is the expression he doesn't like:

    StationGlobals.Models = Locals.Models,

    However, this same expression is in the original code.  The only thing that has changed is the addition of a new model number in the Locals.Models.newNumber.  I suspect that this contributes to the error.  But why it give me an error when I run the local original sequence?  Maybe I should try running it again...

    In both cases, suggestions to overcome the error?

    Thank you.

    RayR

    Please ignore the post.

    I found the problem...  There was a disconnect with the number of models.  Easy fix.  It's all good.

    For anyone else that might fall on this thread for the same reason, here is an explanation.

    I added a new model with its variants to the Locals.Models list.  In total, he had 16 additions to the list.

    I also added to the StationGlobals.  Which means that my StationGlobals is no longer equal that on the remote PC.

    Where the error came, is there a model missing in the StationGlobals, so the size (number of models) does not match that of the local population.

    Surveillance at sea listed models a slight (I won't even count them).  Now fixed.

    ... and embarrassed...

    I can thus give me an "acceptable Solution".
