HP Envy h8 1409: just restored to factory default and now windows 8 is not activate! Help, please!
Recently, my PC started a little all around to have massive problems that I don't mind going into details, but I decided that after 2-3 years to possess, I would restore it factory default. It hurts but it would be a good idea, because I knew that windows are installed on it and apparently, this model is supposed to just reinstall without any problem...
I have no idea what the hell happened, but now he has not activated windows. I know that the product key, and when I get it, it says "your product keys works! Continue when you're ready', then when he starts to deal with it, I get the error "the following error occurred while trying to use the product key:
Code:
0xC004F01F
Description:
The software licensing service determined that the license is not valid. »
So seriously, what the hell am I supposed to do? Please help me
Hello
If the original HP recovery partition is intact then you should be able to create the recovery media.
Before attempting to improve once again, use a hard drive of commerical known reliable product imaging in the image of your hard drive to external media. This will save you a lot of time and effort, if you never experience questions requiring to return to a fresh factory restore and then have to go through the whole update process again. The image will also save you if your hard drive fails. If the HP recovery media is the plain W8 then take the shot. Then after all the updates are applied and your with set success to date to W8.1 and then take another picture.
Thanks for posting on the forum.

When you perform a restore, you may need to reinstall the network drivers, etc..
As you can not access the internet on the recovery computer, use the computer that you are on to get here to do this.
Go to the website to make your computer > Driver and Software Support Section > find your computer model number > then your operating system > locate drivers Windows 7 > download and install the desktop > copy to flash drive > transfer onto the repaired computer.

I returned my iPhone5 to factory default and gave it to my grand daughter as a Christmas gift.
- She wants to download games etc but the itunes store guard asking my ID and PW.
- How can she save herself?
- I received and Apple to say that someone had tried to reset my password by e-mail.
- It is probably her mother because she also asked me to tell him my PW and ID.
- I currently use my PW and ID on my new 1Phone6 and do not want to share this.
Can you please help.

She needs to log out of your Apple ID in the store and just connect with hers. Go to settings, iTunes and App Store and tap on the Apple ID, then select Disconnect.

I reinstalled windows vista to factory default and when parsing registry errors with norton utilities found errors in 1395. what I would do. I have to fix all the mistakes.
Hi mohdrafi,.
No need to panic. If you used another registry, cleaner, we could see 2000, 3000 or 4000 even depedning errors that the registry search cleaner. Registry cleaners are so reliable that I wouldn't even recommend them. In fact you don't need a registry cleaner and, contrary to popular reports, your registry "is not" increased cleaning performance. Registry cleaners are noted for the provision of many "false positives" it makes you wonder if the registry cleaner is saying 'what the devil I know, just delete this and the other and hope everything works eventually. My advice? Forget the registry cleaning!

Hello
I just installed a new router and now my desktop running xp computer does not connect to the internet. I know that it is not the router because I plugged the cable into my laptop running 7 and it works fine. When I try to dhcp I get 169..., when I put manually the IP just get no access to the internet and can not ping to the router address. I tried to run the net work Assistant, emptied my dns, disabled all firewals, still nothing.Any suggestions?original title: connectivity LimetedThe zero configuration utility works very well. But it is a desktop computer and on cable. All other wired and wireless PC in the office is working well, then it's definitely this PC. He came out of nowhere, I install a network printer on the PC but that's all.
Your messages are a bit terse, but if I understand correctly
- You have a router connected to the Internet and multiple computers connected to the router, some Ethernet cable and others by wireless.
- All but one of these computers can reach successfully from the Internet via the router.
- A computer that can't browse the Internet is connected to the router via an Ethernet cable.
- You disconnected the cable between the router and the desktop problem and connected it to a Windows 7 laptop and the laptop connected to the Internet via the router.
- You haven't seen any error message (except, perhaps, a message on "Limited or no connectivity").
- You have installed Windows XP Service Pack 3 (or at least Service Pack 2)
Assuming that all the foregoing is an accurate summary of the situation, I suggest that you do the following:
Open a command prompt window (start > run > cmd > OK)
Type the following lines and press ENTER after each lineNetsh reset winsock catalog
netsh int ip reset c:\resetlog.txtClose the command prompt window and restart the computer.
