Scam call windows service from the centre of Miami, how did get my information?
I received a call from someone identifying themselves as Zack Martin of windows service center in Miami. He gave this phone number: 120 631 71742. He said he was calling about attacks on my computer. He had my name, the right to address and it gave me a 32 digit/letter windows license number. I told her that I couldn't talk to him now and call later today. He did not ask for money or be specific about the problem. How could he get the information he had on me? He said that I had to give her when I registered Windows. Jim in Vancouver

Microsoft has none of the unsolicited telephone calls to help you fix your computer
In this type of scam cybercriminals are calling you and claim to be of Support technique Microsoft. They offer help with your computer problems. Once scammers have earned your trust, they try to steal and damage your computer with malicious software, including viruses and spyware.
Although the law enforcement can trace phone numbers, often authors use pay telephones, disposable cell phones or stolen cellular phone numbers. Better avoid fooling themselves rather than try to repair the damage afterwards.
Treat all unsolicited sceptically telephone calls. Don't provide personal information.
If you receive an unsolicited call from someone who claims to be from Technical Support Microsoft, hang up. We do not have such calls.
If you think you might be a victim of fraud, you can report it. For more information, see: what to do if you think you have been scammed.

I downloaded Windows XP from the Windows Service Center. It's a .exe. When I click on it, it is extracted to a folder I called "xp". How can I obtain these data on a disk to install XP from a CD? Should what steps I take? I am running Windows 7.

ADF Mobile | call web service from Java. non-reflecting values in the AMX page
Hi all
I am using JDEv11124 with ADF Mobile extensions39.62.64.
My use case is as follows.
1. my application has 2 Pages a. Login home b.
2. in the user login Page between user name and click on the "submit" button.
3. on the homepage I displayed the company they joined.
4. in the "submit" button is clicked, action defined in the support bean method will be called.
5. by supporting the action bean method, I'll call the method of the Web Service to validate the entered user name, if the entered user name is valid, that I have to post its company name in the home page.
6. I am moving back from the web service of datacontrol in Home.amx page

GenericType = result
(GenericType) AdfmfJavaUtilities.invokeDataControlMethod ("Comp", null, "getCompany",
pNames, params,
PTypes);
System.out.println ("after the call to the service" + result.getAttributeCount ());
8. in the Java class, I get the response correctly (as the company designating the username entered as 'SOCIETY'), where when I navigate to the home page, I don't see any results for the method return (name of the company that dropped like OutputText in Home.amx)

TBS wide BAND WIRELESS MODEM data
I had to have my computer repaired, now I can't get my mobile card data (wireless broadband modem) to operate. I can't get any service from the server. I called them and they said that when the laptop has been repaired. The Ports were not tied and cannot open anything. All other elements of work of these ports (wirelsee mouse/printer and I explained this to the technician, it is only thought was to call in a repair service.) I think their answer is like the auto machnic said to go and change the air in your tires. Can you give me any advice?Hello

I use the 64-bit drivers for Windows 7 from the Satellite on the Qosmio?
Hello
I have 2 laptops Toshiba, Qosmio X 300 - 14U and Satellite T130 - 12 K, and my question is:
I use the 64-bit drivers for Windows 7 from the Satellite on the Qosmio?Thanks in advance
Hi frakri,
What drivers tell you exactly? Display, chipset, sound, etc. ?
Theoretically, it should be possible, but it s according to the material. For example if your Qosmio has the same chipset as satellite you can use these drivers. Otherwise it wouldn't work because the hardware is different.
First, check the features!In addition, you can get all the drivers here:

reuse the license of Windows XP from the old office to the new office
We have 4 old desktop computers with windows xp I want to reuse the license of Windows XP from the old office to the new office
I bought a HP desktop computer and dell preinstalled with Windows XP. The office has not worked for a few years, he has the processor are P4 and slow work.
I recently bought a desktop computer and wanted to know can I use the same license key to get Windows XP installed on my new desktop computer.
Note: I have lost my original installation of windows CD but have the office and Windows XP product code is available to me.
The old HP desktop and dell came with a license with the sticker on the side.
Any PC which came with a sticker with a key to activate product on it has a license that is related to this PC (and only this PC) for ever. It is not legal to install on a PC using the key videos from another PC.
If the PC you want to install XP on still has its sticker, then as much as you have a compatible installation XP CD, XP can be re-installed using the key on the sticker.
Only commercial versions of XP can be moved from one PC to another. With the commercial versions, the activation key came with the media, not on a label stuck on the PC.

Hi, I'm having a problem with my laptop. I bought my laptop online, a year ago, and I got a virus. Then, I had my computer reset and I need a code for Windows Vista from the bottom of my laptop. After looking through records and information, we found that he had no number. He worked initially but then recently he was asked for a product key or something of the sort code. I was using my laptop but I cannot customise my background etc.
Can you help me?
Thank you very much
The code is located on a label and is a 25-digit alpha-numeric (and very hard to read) code separated into 5 groups of 5 numbers separated by dashes. If you can't find it on the bottom of your laptop, open the battery housing and remove the battery and look there - I know of cases where this is where it was placed.
If you can't find the product key, your only choice is to contact the manufacturer and see if they can help. Sometimes the relocations made with recovery disks don't need to be activated (depends on the manufacturer and their recovery process must ask them and confirm before you spend money on the recovery discs). A valid product key is required for activation if activation is required - there is no way around this problem. And in case you are considering on it, you can't switch from one product not enabled - you need to do a clean and complete installation (update disc will not work).
I hope this helps and that the manufacturer can help you.
Good luck!

Windows vista USB flash drive installation AND recover the WINDOWS KEY from the recovery disk
Hi all
I formatted my laptop some time ago. Now I want to reinstall windows vista (came along with my laptop). The thing is due to a problem that my CD drive does not work so I would like to install windows vista by using a USB key. Can you get it someone please let me know if this is possible... If Yes, how I've go ahead make a bootable USB.
As someone can tell me if there is a way to retrieve the WINDOWS KEY from the recovery disc.
Thank you.
Hello
This can help, but you will need a Vista system to create the working bootable USB key:http://www.askvg.com/how-to-create-bootable-usb-drive-to-install-windows-vista/
As for the product key, it should be on a sticker on the laptop (usually on the bottom). If it is not readable, contact the manufacturer for further assistance. As we said already, the product key is not on the installation disc.
Replace broken laptop optical drives is not too difficult, you can see this as another option.

Dell will not help with installation unless you pay them $! They say that it's a Microsoft product, and they are not obliged to help, even if it was purchased from them! It's like buying a new washing machine or a car. You need to contact the manufacture to get help with it?
No, you communicate with the store, it was purchased from. This applies to any new product I know. But not with Dell!
Sorry for the rant. I just found this totally outrageous situation.

How to uninstall Windows 7 from the recovery disk?
By mistake, I installed Windows 7 on the recovery disk. I have only windows 7 installed on my Dell Inspiron. However, it is now a multi-boot, as Windows 7 is stored on the operating system and the recovery drive. How delete/uninstall Windows 7 from the recovery drive (more free space on it is exhausted). I already tried to 'Format' and 'Remove the Volume' in the disk management page, but the options are grayed out and I can't access it.
It's probably that you managed to install on the Dell recovery disk victory because it would be too small.
Open the recovery partition in Explorer to view the files.
