• Windows store won't let me download Windows 8.1 - says I have to be an administrator, but I'm already!

  I'm trying to download Windows 8.1 from the store Windows, but whenever I click on green install button, it keeps telling me that I can't download the 8.1 update because I am not the administrator. I AM THE ADMINISTRATOR. I am registered on the administrator account. The firewall is down. What is the problem?

  Microsoft if your listening, your operating system is terrible. It seems that with every BONE is even worse. Stopped to try to complicate things by making them more complex and keep them simple. I'm administrator, let me download stuff. I should have spent the extra $1000 and got a Mac.

  Hello

  Uninstalling Windows Update KB2871389 and then put it back solves the problem for most people who have tried.

  You can uninstall it by going to programs and features and by clicking on "View installed updates" at the top to the left. You will need to scroll the list to find it. Then right-click on it to get the option uninstall.

  You might also might want to consider turning off or uninstall security 3rd party programs...

• Windows Installer is GONE. Please help me. My computer (windows Vista) will not be updated or install anything. I looked at microsoft, and there are no drivers that are obvious to me.

  I think I did too many updates at the same time and it has messed up my Installer.  I ran 3 virus different scans so I'm sure that this is not a virus.  Looking for drivers from microsoft and nothing.  I'm really frusterated with this one.  If you need information, just send me an email to * address email is removed from the privacy *.

  Hi webchikk61,

  ·         Did you do changes on the computer before the show?

  ·         (Numbers KB) updates you install?

  Follow these methods.

  Method 1: Temporarily disable the security software .

  Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you do not disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network during the time that your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

  Method 2: Put the computer in a clean boot State to see if there is a software conflict as the clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

  Note: After completing the steps in the clean boot troubleshooting, follow the link step 7 to return the computer to a Normal startupmode.

  Method 3: You can also manually install updates (KB number) by downloading from the Microsoft Download Center.

  Method 4: Follow the steps in the article.

  computer restored IBM won't let me go beyond the introduction of identy... closes and restarts the computer to the same: Enter name and ID... then again, it does the same thing.  How can I save this monster?

  Hello

  First, disconnect all the external devices connected to the computer, and then try to start and check what is happening. If the same happens, then you can try to start in safe mode and check if you are able to boot to the desktop. Only basic files and drivers needed to run Windows are started. If a problem doesn't reappear when you start in safe mode, you can eliminate the default settings and basic as possible cause device drivers. To start in safe mode follow the link.

  Start your computer in safe mode

• Windows 7 won't let me access the files (my documents, my downloads), but the programs work very well!

  Currently, I am running windows 7 Ultimate on my desktop I built. My computer starts up fine, no problem when I connect and I can run all my programs like itunes, security suite norton, chrome, Picasa and Microsoft word work completely fine. There is no problem to save things on Word view my photos on Picasa (which is on the C drive) or by playing songs on itunes (which means that I can access my hard drive through programs), but when I try to open the downloads folder, it shows a popup that says: "this operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Please contact your system administrator. "and does not open the file. The problem is that I AM the administrator account on the computer! However, when I open things in my libraries such as My Documents or my music, there just a blank page, saying that I have no files in this folder, but I have files in all of these files: photos, all my music itunes and documents.

  The interesting thing is that I can save documents to the word to My Documents and it will be displayed at the beginning, but when I close the My Documents window and reopen it, the file disappeared and the folder is 'empty' again.

  Currently. I have 2 hard drives connected, a seagate 1 TB and a supplement of 250 GB. Both of these drives appear in disk management, so that the computer knows and is able to see are how many gb on them. Apart from this recognition, when I open the start menu and press computer, it only shows my USB and my CD player, nor of my hard drives. I know that computers are connected correctly as they hum and dry as usual. I am very worried about what is, be it a virus, bad connection, settings that have been changed for any reason any.

  Please help me understand why Windows 7 won't let me access my files through programs, but not in Finder Windows, I have very important files on this computer that I can't lose!

  Windows 7 has a feature of self defense which is a pain.

  He doesn't like files from other computers,

  Right-click on the folder and select properties and see if there is a release button.

  Repeat for external drives.

  I have an old version of Photoshop.  And a new apple computer.  It won't let me load from my drive.  Any idea?

  CS2 is too old to be compatible with the new Macs. There is nothing that you can do because it does not work on the new Intel Macs as it was designed for the old Mac PowerPC.

  Hello

  1. what Internet browser do you use on your computer?
  2. that you get an error message when downloading a file?

  Method 1.
  If you suspect a virus activity I highly recommend to run a Scan of Virus online.

  Sometimes the security program installed might not be fair enough. I also recommend you update your security software regularly.

  a. follow the link below to start the free online scan:
  http://OneCare.live.com/site/en-us/default.htm

  b. run the malware removal tool from Microsoft.

  Microsoft Malicious - 32-bit removal tool
  http://www.Microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=AD724AE0-E72D-4F54-9AB3-75B8EB148356&displaylang=en

  http://www.Microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=585D2BDE-367F-495e-94E7-6349F4EFFC74&displaylang=en

  Also I recommend you to install the free security software from Microsoft. Which is easy to install and automatically updated
  Here is the link to download.
  http://www.Microsoft.com/securepc

  Method 2.
  If you use Internet Explorer 7 or later you can try the steps below and check if you are able to download the files.

  I would recommend you to optimize internet explore.
  See the article below for steps optimize internet explore.
  How to optimize internet Explorer?
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/936213
   
  b. If nothing works to solve the issue try reset Internet Explorer.
  How reset internet Explorer?
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/923737
  IE reset warning:
  Please note that reset the settings of Internet Explorer running resets all of the settings defined by the user, including those established by the installed extensions, toolbars and other add-ons for IE by default. This includes all the security, privacy and settings area. Also this will erase browsing history, delete all temporary Internet, cookies, form data files and especially all the passwords.

  If the problem persists I would ask you to uninstall and reinstall Internet Explorer and check.

  Method 3.
  Check to see if the problem exists in Mode safe mode with networking. See the article below for the procedure safe mode in Windows XP
  A description of the options to start in Windows XP Mode
