Received a call saying that the license for my computer had been corrupted by a virus.
So about half an hour ago I received a call from a man claiming to be windows saying my computer driver's license starting with numbers ' #$@ "(don't remember figures, he gave me), had his 'corrupted some virus licence' (I think his exact words). I immediately thought that it was potentially a scam because I heard other scam type things that happen on the phone these days, but temporarily, I said 'ok' and he told me that they had tried to contact my computer and have been unable to do so and that he needed to look at my driver's license and give him some info to check that it has not been damaged. That's when the alarm went off in my head and I told him "that I currently have on my computer and it was very good and for him not to worry about it" and then, without waiting for an answer, I hung up.
Fake phone calls to technical support
Calls unrequested telephone of this nature are almost always a common scam. Do not let them give any info, do not give access to your PC, not give them all the money and do not go to all the websites that they suggest. One moment.
Please see:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/security/online-privacy/msname.aspx .
Microsoft issues never not solicited for phone calls of support or security.
These types of callers can use completely fictitious names or bogusly claim to be of real companies other than Microsoft as well.

Transfer of license with a twist
So I've recently upgraded to a new system... Virtually everything has been replaced - the motherboard, RAM, graphics card, processor... Everything but my HARD drive. I want to continue to use my current Vista operating system, but I forgot to turn it off before changing the parts of my PC. Now, whenever I try to turn it on, it says that the license is already in use.Is there anyway for me to be able to turn it on for my new rig? Thank you.
If you have a retail copy of Vista, you must activate by phone. Click Start, type "slui 4" and press ENTER.
See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/940315
If your copy of Vista is preinstalled on your computer, you can't use it with the new motherboard and you will need to purchase a copy of the license full of Windows. Most of the editions of Vista out of support in two months so consider Windows 7.

Hi Lisawaters,
· What web browser do you use?
· The issue is limited to a specific Web page?
· Did you do changes on the computer before the show?
If you are using Internet Explorer then I suggest to optimize Internet Explorer settings and check if it works.
How to optimize Internet Explorer
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/936213/ro
WARNING:
Please note that the reset Internet Explorer (IE) 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.
I hope this helps.

I opened the Windows Media Player after several days of not to use. Files won't load. It is said that there is no element in the library. I'm going to add to the library, and there is nothing there. I add places to watch, say OK and leave. When I come back it is empty again. How can I return my library and playlists?
Sounds like a corrupt media library that can be fixed by resetting it. To reset, follow the instructions for WMP 11 Vista at http://zachd.com/pss/pss.html#medialibrary . Tim Baets

I received a message saying that the move to Photoshop to Revel is completed. There are 173 of my latest photos jpg, dated July 2012 - March, 2013, that have not been moved. It seems that these photos were not automatically saved and synct the way in which they should have by Photoshop. How can I get these pictures moved to Revel?
Karen-
Photoshop.com is always open, your migrated files are still there as well as in Revel. Take a look and see if the files you want to revel are there or not. As I've described above, it seems as if you have files in the elements that have never uploaded to Photoshop.com and therefore never have been migrated. It is likely that the process has worked as intended and you need to download the files remaining from your computer to Revel.
Please let me know what you find.
Thank you-

I tried the license of my trial version of photoshop elements, but the download is for windows and I use a mac. Secondly, I get an error message saying that the serial numbers provided by Adobe in the received email are not correct.
Regarding the download, the correct trial version going, you should be able to manage on the link below. If you have made a purchase and bought a Windows license so it is not valid for a Mac installation. You will need to contact the Support from Adobe when they go bacvk vacation to see about getting the correct license.
