• I can't buy apps in Windows 8 Store: "your purchase could not be completed, something happened and your purchase could not be completed.

  When I try to buy an app out of the store, I get the message:

  "Your purchase could not be completed . " something happened and your purchase could not be completed '

  A new attempt of results in the same error.

  I tried most, if not all, solutions to this problem on the forums (definition of the location, date/time, reset the windows store, crossing the local profile cache, using several computers running different versions of Windows 8, using "sfc/scannow" in a command prompt, etc..)

  • This issue is not present on my windows phone 8 device.
  • At one point, I was able to buy apps with success.
  • I recently configured a VPN (Although disabling the VPN does not solve the issue)
  • I run 2 PCs of Windows 8 and use the same Microsoft Account for both
  • I recently transferred a XBOX live gamer tag to my Microsoft Account
  • I have a credit card and a PayPal account set up in my billing options
  • Recently, the PayPal account was not properly authenticate on my windows phone, I deleted and added it and it now works fine
  • In the account for the store settings (Windows + C |) Settings | Your account | Payment and Billing Information), he said: "before you can purchase an application, you must add a payment method to your account" when I click on add a doesn't MATTER.  To http://account.live.com billing options, there are two payment options clearly listed and functional.  What happens?

  That's all that I think I speak for the moment.  I know that Microsoft is currently changing parts of the Microsoft Account system, but I didn't know that an error like this would be because of that.  So I want to know what I can do to solve the problem immediately.

  Thank you

  OK, I solved the problem.  I still have questions using my PayPal account, but now I'm able to use my credit card.

  Here's what I did:

  1. Open the app Store
  2. Press the Windows key + C, then select settings
  3. Select the option menu: your account
  4. Select "Change user", then to connect to ANOTHER account. (I tried to simply connect to the same account again, and it did not work)
  5. Select the Add payment option (which should now work and load a menu)
  6. Close the menu and return to your old account using Exchange User
  7. Click on add payment option once again, it should now really open. (Assuming it wasn't before, that, for me, it wasn't)
  8. It will now allow you to add a payment, and I suggest strongly that add you payment options you have currently listed there.  I think there is a problem with the PayPal accounts in particular.
  9. Buy your favorite again, applications finally.
  10. Fact.

  My PayPal account still does not work after that.  Well, I think it has something to do with the settings "preferred payment method" Paypal.  It might be interesting to contact PayPal on this subject, because I am able to use regular credit cards perfectly well after this "correction".

• App Store works don't make mistake, "something happened and your purchase could not be completed."

  I have connected to Windows Live and my computer. While earlier I could download Apps from the AppStore Windows without problem, I do now face the most useless error message EVER:

  "Your purchase could not be executed.
  "Something happened and your purchase could not be completed.
  If anyone has any idea what that 'something' means, please let me know. I get very frustrated with most of these "apps".
  If an employee of Microsoft Windows is reading this, please be more informative and less redundant with your error messages.

  Hello A.MROUWEH,

  Thank you for reaching out to the Community Support from Apple. I know how it is important to keep your applications up to date and I have some information that can help. Whenever we see problems with updates and downloads of the app, it's a good idea to disconnect from the App Store by clicking on the Store menu and selecting "logout".

  Then, you restart the Mac and reconnect and see if it will download updates. If the problem persists, test the behavior in safe mode by following the steps in this article: try safe mode if your Mac does not start-up.

  Let us know if the problem persists. The entire community is here to help.

• Error - EPPkt.sys and c:\windows\system32\drivers\afw.sys not found and fix crashes in Windows XP Pro computer.

  Original title: during repair XP Pro from the disk installation, everything crashes.

  I am writing this plea on my desktop, pc Win 7 it. The pc is older and elsewhere in the House.

  Due to the white/white space in Add/Remove Programs, after checking the extent of possible for viruses, corruption Reg, etc., the advice of consensus was to reinstall the Windows, using the disc (this XP Pro was on the HARD drive when I got the pc - new to 2009 - and I did the back-up recommended/controlled , and that's what I was doing Rcounter Set up, around 1700 BST.

  Everything seemed to go OK, but black screen of Windows is now the small hourglass circulating and 'Please wait '.  The HARD drive is flickering, but it's been more than 3 hours!

  My second pc was rotten, and I had to reinstall or repair XP Home [disk] a few times. It is only 35 GB, compared to more than 100 on the pc in question - but I've never met before delay.

  Installation messages were as follows:

  EPPkt.sys and c:\windows\system32\drivers\afw.sys not found.  I checked this point, and it should not have caused any problems. It has also sought a labeled disc 'Machine Virtual Network Services', which no doubt, since I did not, was never necessary.

  I'll leave it on - but...

  Help, please!

  Well, I had to bow to the inevitable. Please accept this response as a ' I've been there - it could happen to you. "

  I spoke to BT [they provide my broadband] and the helpful guy asked me to look at the installation and reinstall in a different place. It's OK, but [, BUT] some of the drivers have been zapped in eternity. PCI, sounds, videos. The guy thought BT that these had been modified or replaced since the beginning, whereas they were not available. The XP Prof is on the pc when I got it, but I assumed that the pilots were on the backup disk, I did. No, they were not. And how to go online to search for them if we could not put in place the ethernet connection?
  So, I bought Win - 7 it 32-bit full ed. [be too afraid to try an upgrade].

  It could have been a response in the migration of these from other drivers, but I guess it was time to go.

  As I can't afford to buy new COREL, MS Word, etc, I have installed free VMWare player as a host for my older progs in a virtual environment.

  Another thing came out of this: although what remained of XP has been saved by 7 as WINDOWS.old, I am very happy that I had a HDD eternal with ntfs to preserve my files and installable 3rd party progs.

  I hope this might help someone - thanks for the info.

  Uninstall what you can the normal way via the Control Panel, and then use the CS cleanup tool.  Then try to reinstall. You might want to try an installation download rather than the disc if it continues to fail.

  Hello

  Thanks for posting your query on the Microsoft Community.

  According to the description, you can not connect because it is blocked to wait please and you also get error message failed to configure windows updates.

  I would be grateful if you can provide us with the following information to help us better understand the issue:

  • What is the full error message / error code that you get on your screen?

  This problem may be due to updates pending.

  I suggest you to follow the below methods and check.

  Method 1:

  I suggest you to disconnect all external devices (printers, scanner, USB (universal serial bus) drives, etc...) Except the keyboard and mouse and then start.

  If this solves the problem, then add devices one by one after the other until you discover the piece of hardware causing the issue. Then we can update driver for this particular device.

  If the problem persists, try Method 2,

  Method 2:

  I suggest you to check if you are able to connect mode safe mode by using the following commands.

  Safe mode starts Windows with a limited set of files and drivers. Startup programs do not work in safe mode, and only the basic drivers needed to start Windows are installed.

  Follow these steps to start the computer in safe mode.

  a. boot from the DVD of Windows 8.

  b. click on repair your computer.

  c. click Troubleshooting, and then select Advanced Options.

  d. Select the prompt option.

  e. Once you open the command prompt, enter the following command and press ENTER.

  Bcdedit/set {bootmgr} displaybootmenu Yes

  One time completed, please restart your computer, then press F8 to access screen on startup, then press F4 or 4 to enter Safe Mode.

  Check if the problem persists in safe mode.

  If the problem does not persist in Mode safe mode, then perform a clean boot in order to check if any third-party application is causing the problem, as the clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

  Note: After the boot minimum troubleshooting step, read the sections "How to reset the computer to start as usual after a clean boot troubleshooting" in the link provided to return the computer to a Normal startup mode.

  Method 3:

  If so, then I suggest you to install the update and check if it helps.
