  • Had to reinstall Windows and now Skype won't let me open a session.

    So the SSD, I had 10 installed windows on seems to be dead (the PC crashed and then wouldn't start on the correct hard drive. The hard drive also would not put in evidence in the BIOS any SATA port I used), then I reinstalled since on a backup drive (after cleaning it of course). Everything else works fine, 0 connection problems, got all my main programs installed and works again. But it seems that no matter what I try, the Skype app won't let me log on.

    This is the latest version, and I'm running IE11. I tried to reinstall, turn off the firewall, remove the file "shared.xml", removal of temporary internet files on IE... None of this fixed it. I also tried to create a new account from microsoft and it still wouldn't let me connect.

    Other ideas are appreciated.

    Thanks for your reply, but it turns out that all I had to do was to reset my router. I feel so stupid, it's usually one of the first things I do when troubleshooting connection problems - it just crossed your mind for any reason any. There was no error in any case, he just said that he does not recognize the sign in details, as it would if you enter wrong password.

  • HP Pavilion Notebook 15-ab083T: laptop upgraded before even starting for the first time = problem?

    Hello!

    I recently bought this laptop with the intention to replace the hard drive (1 TB HDD 120 GB SSD), as well as upgrading the ram from 8 GB to 16 GB. The problem is that I have improved these things before you start for the first time. And now it complains that it cannot find a device boot, even when I insert a USB key with windows 10 iso on it. Or a cd with windows XP. He needs to have the HDD windows 8.1 original in it on first commissioning? It took a while to replace parts...

    Thanks in advance.

    That's very true, I used gparted before checking this again, and it was corrupted. Very well! I ended up installing windows 10 home using a free student license. It's perfect, since I have windows 8.1 before running on the 1 TB hard drive and it was filled with bloatware, thanks to HP (no offense). So, it is nice to have a clean install. Everything works fine now, I had to change some settings of 'Legacy Boot' in the bios to boot from the USB.

    had this message for the 1st time on windows, not sure if its real?

    Hi Netbook,

    This isn't enough information.  What is the exact message and any word to Word with all the codes?  How it was received (a pop-up, aredirect, an e-mail (if so, what he want/say - leaving out personal information about you)?)  What were you doing when it was received?  Do you know what program sent you him?  What operating system?  What browser and version?  What security programs (names and versions of all of them?  The message say?  When it seemed (start-up or during work)?

    Here's help on how to respond to that and other information necessary to understand: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555375.

    In the meantime, I would do anything he asked and guess that it's a scam, spam, malware and/or until we prove otherwise based on your comments.

  • have to reactivate Vista Home Premium (for the second time), but did not have the product key - thinking that I had to upgrade to Windows 7 instead.

    Now, I had recover and restore to factory settings on my PC for the 2nd time in 2 years (I think a problem for Vista?).  Rather than activate Vista Home Premium (which I did not anyway-25 character product code), I thought it would be beneficial (and relieve another instance) upgrade to Windows 7?  I would appreciate any thoughts. Is that what I do online and Windows 7 will work around the Windows Vista Home Premium?  No risk of problems since Windows 7 is new?  I basically use it for home, but like following applications.  Windows 7 is having the same issues that has Vista?

    You cannot switch to windows 7 since Vista without activation of Vista.

  • I tried a number of times to upgrade to windows 10. I get c1900101 - 4000D as a mistake. Once, my entire hard drive crashed and I had to reinstall Windows 7.

    I tried a number of times to upgrade to windows 10. I get c1900101 - 4000D as a mistake. Once, my entire hard drive crashed and I had to reinstall Windows 7. I am also having a problem installing Adobe Flash player. It is said that API-MS-Win-Core-Registery-l1-1-0.dll is missing but I don't know what it is. Any suggestions?

    "Configuration settings" is the final phase and fault codes look like c1900101 x400xx. The most common failure here is 40017, which means we could not start. Since this is the first time start us Windows 10 with all the drivers in place, once again, drivers are usually the cause of the accident. These issues tend to be less transient than the 30018 s, then a second test is less likely to solve the problem. Yet, it never hurts to try.

    Try to upgrade manually:

    Task of pre-required

    When you make significant changes to your computer for example updated operating system, you must always back up. See the links to resources on the backup by clicking the link for each version of Windows you are using: Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8/8.1

    then

    then

    • Turn off (preferably uninstall) your Antivirus utility before you perform the upgrade.
    • Reboot several times, and then try again.
    • Disable the general USB peripherals (for example - smart card reader).
    • If you are using a SCSI drive, make sure you have the drivers available for your storage on a thumdrive device and it is connected. During the installation of Windows 10, click on the advanced custom Option and use the command load driver to load the driver for the SCSI drive. If this does not work and the installer still fails, consider switching to an IDE based hard drive.
    • Perform a clean boot, restart, and then try again.
    • If you upgrade to the. ISO file, disconnect from the Internet during the installation, if you are connected in LAN (Ethernet) or wireless, disable both, then try to install.
    • If you are updated through Windows Update, when download reaches 100% disconnect from the LAN (Ethernet) Internet or Wi - Fi, then proceed with the installation.
    • If this does not work, try using the. ISO file to upgrade if possible.
    • If you are connected to a domain, go to a local account.
    • If you have an external equipment, attached to the machine, unplug them (example, game controllers, USB sticks, external hard drive, printers, peripherals not essential).

    If the problem persists, try the upgrade manually, but choose the option to keep personal files only, you will have to reinstall applications.

  • I had to reinstall Windows - problems accessing the profile of old or existing to show all emails, I had

    I had to reinstall windows. I have several drives in my computer and I copied the entire C: drive to another drive in the PC. I thought when I reinstalled Thunderbird, I could just point to profile located on the other drive... email accounts but it doesn't work.

    I had multiple accounts configured in Thunderbird - accounts about 6, but just one profile. I had several records created for organizing email locally. So, I guess that he should be a both local and roaming profile with the same name? I checked my mail server web interface and there are currently approximately 105 emails on this subject. I know there are at least 500 total emails into the inboxes of Thunderbird. I try to restore those old e-mails, as well as local folders - but am not having any luck.

    Anyway, with all the attempts that I did to get all the emails of my return, I think that Thunderbird has created new folders and is doing really complicated now. I don't know how to sort this out. I don't know the name of the profile that I have used before, and when I search my computer on the name of the profile, it is 22 000 + items. I'm still not able to get them all restored in Thunderbird.

    Another strange thing is: in the search results for the name of the profile, the items are displayed in the results, and it has an icon Thunderbird next to them and says it's a Document of Thunderbird... but when I double-click on one of them, it will not open in Thunderbird. Nothing happens when I double-click on them. Could this be a problem/conflict version of Thunderbird? I thought my old Thunderbird was updated.

    I don't know where to start to give you a hint how to help. I'm sorry.

    Any ideas?

    I need step by step instructions on how to fix this prob. I'm an amateur. Thank you.

    Step 1.  Identify the make and model of the USB device.
    Step 2: Identify the version of Windows XP you have, including service pack (start > run > winver > OK)

    Although the following steps 1 & 2 you could get extra help, I suspect that the 'USB device' has indeed "defective" and you have to go back to where you got it and request a refund or a replacement.

    Please note this step #9

    If the activation service informs you that she has failed and cannot help with activation, then STAY ON THE LINE and your call will be transferred to an operator of activation which will help you to activate your copy of Vista. The operator will give you all the numbers to ID of Confirmation if they accept that your copy of Vista is legitimate.
    NOTE: The operator just explain your situation and what you did to require activation. (EX: hardware upgrade, installed Vista on a new computer after uninstalling it from the old one, etc...)
