Remove all excess icons (each of them, essentially) of the taskbar (lower-right)

As downloads fail, when you run the patch, choose it is the default mode when you run it the first time.

When he finished, check if download updates now.

If updates are still not download after running it, then run it again and choose it's aggressive mode.

Then reboot and see if the download updates now.

    Yes, Mr. Difficulté tried it 50202 and nothing worked.  I was looking forward to a solution, so I ended up doing a system restore complete with discs that I did when I had this computer.  Then I did an inplace upgrade.  Still so many problems.  After hours and hours, I finally got to meet up with a working computer.  Thanks for your help.  You know much more that I do all of this.

  • How can I reinstall the window 8 for a new hard drive?

    I just got a new hard drive for Dell to replace the old, which is at the top and about to fail (according to the Dell diagnostic tool).

    Reference Dell included a record called 'Restoration of Windows 8 for Windows 8 64-bit products Support'

    I'm a layman, but can certainly replace the hard drive. What exactly should I do it (step by step, if possible) when I turn on the computer for the first time with the new hard drive in place. The disc should already be in the optical drive?

    Thanks, Alex

    There is not much to be done in any real particular order really.  It won't hurt to have the disc in the drive the first time that you start with the new player connected, but even if are not the worst case, you get a "no OS on this disc, press ctrl + Alt + Del to restart".

    When start you, you may need to press a special sequence on the keyboard like F2 or DEL or Escape to boot from the CD. He can say so on the screen, or it can just try first default (likely) CD.

    In any case, once you start from the CD, it is a wizard from there. Simply press 'next' and 'agree' and all that jazz to what Windows 8 is installed back. Then search for updates & restart for the next 4 days :)
