  • Need help with the error Code 80244019 Windows Update

    From: Doug

    I get code 80244019 whenever I try to use Windows Update. I tried to change the DWORD in regedit nothing helps... Norton has recently found and 'resolved' trojan.zlob in 128 files in the registry, 21 cases (10 of which were in system32) and 1 browser cache. Whenever I try to use IE to go to http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com I am redirected to msn.com.

    Any advice or solutions would be welcome.

  • Need help with the formatting and reinstalling windows

    Hi, I have a Compaq Presario C700 p/n GR598EA #ABU I got to work about 3 years ago.

    Recently, it does not load windows, even in safe mode and I can't get back either.

    I used a disc to boot from linux to access and backup of all my important files and now I want to reformat the hard drive, resintall windows and start over (or try something else which will fix it)

    The laptop has been pre-installed with Windows Vista and HP stuff had already installed on it.  I don't have a Windows disc or discs of driver with the laptop.

    How can I format and reinstall windows and drivers, if I don't have records?

    Help, please.

    Thank you.

  • Need help with the product key of window 8

    So my phone got wet by the rain and, fortunately, only my internal hard drive has been damaged. I went to the mall to buy a new hard drive and had it fixed by a pc repairman. However, they told me that I have to reinstall my windows and says that they can install a pirated copy of windows 8 (I bought my laptop with a pre-installed windows 8 in there), which I have allowed because of my urgent need for the laptop and the lack of money to buy a new installer. At first, I thought that my problem has been resolved and I can reuse the laptop. However, after a few days of use, windows crashes always with an error code driver_power_state_failure and don't constantly back running after a few minutes. So, I thought that what I have to do is to find my product key 8 original windows and reinstall windows 8. Someone told me that I can still install it by using the product key in my motherboard

    My question is how I'll be able to restore / reinstall windows 8 by using the original product key? And is it possible to recover the product key?

    PS: when it has been damaged by the rain, I've had my laptop checked by some computer know-how and told me that only the hard drive has been damaged and all the other parts still work fine. Once it was repaired, I was able to usevit again for a few days until the crash/restart happened.

    This error is not caused by the missing key, but because you have a pirated copy of the operating system, we can not help you.

  • Please help me. I need help with the Firefox Add extension 'Super Start '.

    I add it on Super Start for a long time and I love it. Whenever I had any computer work, I re-install. Last week I refreshed Mozilla and since then I have not been able to install it. I removed it installed ind many times, but it won't work.
    I see great start in the old data of Firefox on my desktop folder, but I don't know how to get or if it works. Can someone help me.

    Hello

    You try to install an old or new Version of Super Start?
    On the web site of the developer, I read that older versions of Super Start will not work if you have the add-on "Tab Mix Plus" installed, even if the info was pretty obsolete - in my humble opinion.

    However I installed the latest version (found here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/super-start/ ) on my Firefox v 38.0.5 and it works.

    I hope this fix things for you.

  • When put external hard drive or a usb ports on the old computer, windows xp flash drive cannot operate. Just try to take off the important information from this computer to put in another.

    Get the yellow signal, and even if the device seems to work, Assistant ask me to install a disk into drive G.

    It could happen because of the USB 1.1 of your old motherboard version. But your compatible USB 2.0 device & back USB 1.0 compatible with reduced performance mode. So, if the devices work, then just ignore the message.

    Also make sure your Win XP has at least service pack 2 installed.

    To find your version of Win XP:

    Start > run > type "winver" (only the text within the quotation)

    Reading the dialog box for the Windows version, subversion of copyright, Service pack etc.

    Before Windows XP SP2, the OS had no compatibility issue for the USB 2.0 device.

    Hopefully this will solve your problem.

    If you need any link of Service pack of windows so feel free to ask us. You can upgrade your old XP to SP3 last free cost simply by downloading a 500 MB file.

  • Remove/hide list "Scanners and cameras" in the "My computer" window

    I tried to stop the "My computer" window registration "Scanner and camera" icons It seems that some make a strange link with HP scanners strives which slows down to the top of the window opening. Originally a freeze for 5 to 10 minutes of my entire office. Currently through TweakUI I can hide icons "Control Panel" and "files stored on this computer". But I have not discovered a way to do it for 'scanners and cameras '.

    I didn't know that I get a lot of responses to this question, given THAT XP is basically a dead horse. But I tried when even because I'm trying to help a friend who refuses to go there "change." I discovered a work-around if this isn't really what I think, it is a perfect solution. I disabled the devices scan HP from the Device Manager. Now, when you open "My computer", is there no time lag or delay to all the records and player items display in the window.
