Hey borq Queen,.
Welcome back you hear. If, after completing all the steps below, you are still unable to create or join a homegroup, I think that the issue is to do with IP/V6.
Check your setting of the adapter for IP/V6. Your network connection must have IPv6 enabled to create or join a homegroup. If it is disabled, follow the steps below to activate it.
(1) right click on the network icon and select open network and sharing Center.
(2) in the window that appears, select change the parameters of the map.
(3) in the network connections window, select the connection to the Local network for the Integrated NIC, and then change the settings for this connection or the file > properties.
(4) in the connection properties page, check the box for Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6).
Close all windows and restart your system.
Try to create a homegroup.
You should be able to create or join one after the activation of the IP/V6.
Kind regards

After format and install Win XP Home and SP3 why can't open the Microsoft web sites?
Need help, guys
I had to replace my HARD drive in my computer. I installed my Windows XP Home SP2 disc. After installation, I used my SP3 upgrade drive and my drive to upgrade to IE8. After you install all my drivers, I tried to get Windows dates and discovered that I could not access the Microsoft web sites. I get Internet Explorer cannot display this page. I tried to find out why this is happening and how to correct the situation, but have not found an answer that works yet. Can someone give me an answer to this question.
I have another (used) computer that I formatted the HDD installed and on Windows 7 and have had no problems to access the Microsoft web sites on. It uses the same modem cable like the other computer so I guess that everything is ok with my Internet connection. This problem seems to be only with Windows XP Home SP 3.
Think in advance for any help
Btk (billy the kid)
Please do not share in the whole "BOLD". Which makes it hard to read!
Please check that SP3 is installed:Start | RunType:winverPress OK.Also, tell us what you mean by "trying to get Windows dates" since there are two ways to do this! -
I'll be able to pre-order the Microsft Surface soon or I can now on the Microsoft Web site?
^^^^^^
Windows 8 will be available October 26 and you see new devices, including Microsoft Surface during this period. Avaliability might differ from one country to the other.
You can consult the Web sites during this period to check if it is available during this period.
In addition, you could check Microsoft Store in Australia:

When the surface becomes available, it will be there to order too.

Cannot access the microsoft Web site using any browser
Access Web sites
Try all 3 browsers... Chrome IE7 and Mozilla. I can't to any microsoft Web site. No problem to do anything else.
With Chrome... I get OOPS! and an error message. IE7 displays a page similar to AI "browser down" page and just microsoft
sites.
Thanks for any info
I can't to any microsoft Web site.
Sounds like a DNS issue. Use nslookup to check. Use ping n 1 w 1 to attempt to cache a browser search. Use ipconfig/displaydns to check if the search is cached. A problem with many Microsoft research is that they have several alias and have very short life values. It is very difficult to take any advantage of cached searches. An alternative is to substitute the search using your HOSTS file, but then the IP addresses of host Microsoft tend to be transitory. In fact, this point suggests something to check first: make sure that there are no replacement of microsoft in your HOSTS file. Remove them and do an ipconfig/flushdns, if there is. ; )

August 22, 2011 I just do a fresh install of Windows XP Professional formatting the hard drive. I then applied SP3 for an OEM CD, I bought from Microsoft several years (part number X 14-60166-02). Even if it is now at the level of the SP3, the automatic updates from the Microsoft web site will not work. If I bought the latest version of the SP3 CD-ROM, which will be the same as what I have now, or it will integrate all of the fixes that have taken place in recent years? Thanks for any help on this.
Run SFC/scannow
File system (CFS) auditor checks that all the XP files are where they should be, and that they are not corrupt.

Original title: WINDOWS license
Hello everyone.
Ive broke my PAvilion G6 core i5 laptop and now I'm going to change the internal hard drive. How can I use my old license of Windows 7. On the MIcrosoft Web site, when I put my product key, they say this license is already in use and I must ask the manufactor PC.
I thank in advance for which will help me!
Hello
Or you can also borrow the same exact retail edition DVD of Windows 7 and use your product key to reinstall.
The COA sticker with the product key is either or in the battery compartment on the underside of the laptop.
With a desktop computer, it's on the side, the back or the top of the computer case.
If you have problems with Activation:
If it does require phone activation, do not follow Demand of Auto, but brace yourself for a real person explain as to what has been done for purposes of re-setup
"How to activate Windows 7 by phone '
http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/18715-activate-Windows-7-phone.html
The above method also requires that you go to your computer manufacturer's website > Support and downloads Section > locate your model number and operating system > then download and install the latest drivers for it.
See you soon.

Virgins of the Microsoft Web sites
Hello
Had a problem with www. Microsoft.com/en-gb/ and other Microsoft Web sites. The pages would empty. If I saw the source of the page, it showed what appeared to be good code but it wouldn't display. Tried it on 3 computers and different browsers and finally discovered our firewall was blocking these 2 sites; optimizely.com & webtrends.com. Additional troubleshooting led me to below errors in firefox debugging:

I have a HP laptop about 3 years. I don't have the disks with it to reinstall. I have trouble starting up. Best Buys geeksquad says to reinstall windows 7.
If I can get on the internet can I reinstall from the Microsoft Web site free of charge or I have to go buy windows 7. If I have to buy that I would be better off to buy windows 8?
Original title: reinstall Windows 7
Hello
Welcome to the Microsoft community!
You can either reinstall the computer, which means it will have ANYTHING to this topic, or you can do a system restore when it was working fine.

Running Windows 7 home Premiun 64 x. Click to open the program the message pop up "Windows Media Player is not installed correctly and must be reinstalled. You want to install the Player from the Microsoft Web site? "that it takes to the site and there is no available media player Windows 7, installed WMP 11 does not work either. Tried to turn on and back on... did not work
Do you remember the last time that your Media Player worked properly? You can use the system restore (type it in the start menu to find) to go back on this point. This restoration takes about 2 minutes and will not affect your files - no matter how far you go. It simply restores your system files and settings.

As I've already bought the computer with the operating system installed on it and apparently I have not received any CD of the OS with it. But I have the ID of the product on the computer... is there a way where I could get a copy .iso of my operating system on the Microsoft Web site?
Thank you!
On-site upgrades are not well regarded by some contributors of this forum, including me. However if you want to try, I refer you to this link for an iso download...
But before you go this route, I would say as you explore the possibilities to fix the problems you have in other ways. Try to publish or questions about your problem and see what happens. You can save yourself a lot of grief.
