• Photoshop elements on Windows 10 12.0 ask constantly for registration and then nothing happens

  PES 12, I installed on a windows 10, the software has been activated on an old computer (only once, so another installation should be possible). When I try to start the program, I get a dialog box asking for registration within 7 days, or that the software will stop working. I follow instructions, use my Adobe ID, accept the terms, and then - nothing happens. I didn't even get an error message. PSE does not start. If I click on it again, the same thing happens. Does anyone have an idea how I can fix this? Please?

• None of my games will install properly on my Windows 7 64 bit.

  The computer is two weeks old and barely got World Of Warcraft to run (it crashes some textures and maps) by copying to an external hard drive. However, it takes a lot of effort for me to get an external hard drive to borrow, and I'd like to solve this problem as quickly as possible. I got with Spore and the Sims 3 run (to my knowledge) success, but both had errors during the installation. The message says something about the files not being not not the same as in the disks, and it might be the result of a corrupt environment, but as it has happened with 3 different games (Oblivion done this also, but I have not tried running it), I know that this is not the case. I tried with the Sims 3 and Devil May Cry 4 copy files in my hard drive and install from there, but no dice. I updated to each possible windows update and tried to run programs as an administrator, tried to disable my firewall and even tried the compatibility mode for a few of them. Anything you could tell me would help greatly, I get rather angry with my purchase of the computer as it is.

  Edit: Oblivion does not work on my attempt of a start-up, it crashes immediately. Action Center tells me to update to the latest version, but that the contents do not match due to the "source is corrupt" error, patch is immediately interrupted.

  Hello
   
  Let us discuss a game at a time.
   
  world of Warcraft.
  a. have you copied the installer of World of Warcraft or that you copied the entire game installed from the hard drive?
  If you copied the game installed it won't work. I recommend to copy the installer to the hard disk and then install it.
   
  b. Sims and Devil may cry 4.
  b. also give us the exact error you encounter so that installation sims and devil may cry 4? And these games work fine now?
   
  c. oblivion.
  For oblivion, that I would recommend you uninstall the game and install mode of compatibility and then install the hotfix to update the game.
   
  Another possibility could be the version of the game. Check if the game is designed for the Windows 7 64 - bit architecture.
  You can also check the compatibility of the major part of the hardware and software with Windows 7 on the following Web site.

  I have to agree, update the video drivers is probly the answer, however do it from the manufacturer's website and not windows. Uninstall and remove drivers, then restart and manufacturers to download to your verision of windows 7 (x 86 or x 64)

  PS. you don't have to worry about uninstalling and removing the drivers, when you restart it will be a most vile driver that windows will use so that you can see the video, even if it will proly be huge and Boret and maybe not in all the colors you are used to seeing, this will set after you have installed the appropriate drivers.

• Sometimes when I started, the windows display is biased and the Start button is off the screen. What's wrong?

  Sometimes, when I started, the windows screen display turns on but is so out of the Center, (with a black border on the left) that the Start button is not on-screen. and I have to log off. I continue to log and, in time, the screen lights up properly.

• Windows XP Home edition does not charge up - screen Toshiba and then nothing

  I opened my computer to stand by earlier. And received an error message such as:

  WINDOWS CANNOT CONTINUE RUNNING BECAUSE THE FILE IS DAMAGED AND UNREADABLE...
  Then he had a countdown until it restarted. After the computer restarted (loads of screen toshiba upwards) then nothing happends. I managed to get into the safe mode start page, but when I select start in safe mode, it does nothing, actually freezes. Seems that the problem is with XP.

  I also tried to "last good configuration" but who also refuses to load.
  I can, however, in the BIOS.

  The black and white background writes startup screen that flashes briefly upward when after that the toshiba screen doesn't even come to the top.

  Is this a hardware problem? I lose data?

  I am aware that my system was clean and I was using a good anti-virus.

  Please please let me know if you have any suggestions or comments.

  Thanks in advance, Max...

  Hi RisSsky,

  you are in a deep deep sh... t... No. not really...
  Looks like the filestructure hard disk is damaged.
  the hard drive is recognized by the bios? means, it is listed as a device?
  There is a sound of the hard drive? scratch or buzzing or ticking?

  CHKDSK may help, but I would 'safe mode' where you want not to lose data on disk.

  don't panik, we will do things.

  2 options to solve this problem:
  the first and save:
  -Remove the old hdd (you need later)
  -get a new hard drive and make a recovery/installation on the new drive.
  -also get a usb - hdd connector to access old data hdd and copy on the new disk.
  or the 2nd:
  -run chkdsk on your hard drive, maybe you need to do this with a "live-system-on-cd.
  Be aware that if there is a problem it will get worse...
  -start in safe mode

  If you're lucky, the 2nd option will do.
  as said before I'd do it "the safe way.

• Explorer Windows has stopped working and then.

  Hi, I am new to PC so I don't know what the problem with my thing.

  There are 2 days I was closing my PC but the PC would shut down for 5 minutes and stay in office, after I received a message "Windows Explorer has stopped working" (while the message is pop up, my PC is slow and laggy as hell, it took me 2 minutes to close the message because the mouse was no lag and difficult to control) and then I closed the message Shut down PC normally. And the next day, my PC has become very lag (if I open 2 tabs on Firefox, the PC will freeze) even with the right button on a game on desktop icon, it takes 20 seconds to show me the option to copy or cut or ect... I tried to delete everything (games, yahoo, ect..) but the problem still there. I use Dell inspiron 14R with little window 7 x 32.

  If some1 has the same problem and fixed it please help me :(
