• the home of Windows 7 Desktop with touch screen and the problem is "not authentic."

  I have a windows 7, but lately its been said that is not true and that I have a counterfeit. A person or an HP agent will be able to help me or guide me in this process of solving this problem?

  According to Microsoft, Windows activation is valid during the initial Setup.  If you change the device, it can falter, because it will do a periodic test.

  (1) if I have activated Windows, why is Windows on my computer not authentic?

  Genuine Windows is a recurring process that checks your product key to ensure that it is used with the material, he has been associated during activation. If the product key appears as not authentic or not valid, it is likely that the product key is used on another computer or is a counterfeit.

  (2) I need to activate Windows after making a hardware change?

  Perhaps. When you make a significant hardware change to your computer, such as upgrading the hard disk and memory at the same time, you may be required to activate Windows again. For more information, see Activate Windows 7 on this computer.

• Windows 7: desktop background cannot change the paper

  Hello

  I am running Window 7 Home Premium and couldn't change my wallpaper.  After checking the other threads with similar problems under discussion, I am still unable to.

  -J' made sure that 'remove background images' (sicettedonneeestdisponible) is not checked in the ease of access.
  -I don't have any screen third party development programs running.
  -J' ran the File Checker Microsoft system via the command prompt with she in me saying no problems found.

  -When you navigate to %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Themes\ the folder is empty.  According to me, that's where the problem should be, but I am unable to find a solution to this.

  Also, when you try to put a picture from a browser as bottom nothing happens.   When you try to set a picture of Windows Photo Viewer I get the message
  "This image may be defined as wallpaper.  An internal error has occurred. »

  I hope this is enough information to help solve this problem!

• I have a new HP Envy with Windows 8 desktop computer that still does not run properly. I rebooted, restored, ran chkdsk, sfc/scannow, uninstall/install update etc...

  I have a new HP Envy with Windows 8 desktop computer that still does not run properly. I have rebooted, restored (im doing this), ran chkdsk, sfc/scannow, malware, virus, uninstall/install etc and my machine wil always do not run for a long time without going through some sort of problem after an hour or two.  Can anyone suggest what to do about this? I read a lot of information online on all the windows 8 and fixes bugs, etc, but anything Microsoft/Windows, which ensures its customers, a hotfix or compesating their customers with software that still works. This isn't a hardware problem, and I can't keep day and bad shooting and trying to fix the day things in?

  Sincerely,
  A client who is a loss for words.
  Here are some problems in no particular order.
  1.) apps to not install it, and/or Windows saying they are when they are in fact not. The fix to install / uninstall, or get on the site of windows directly in general does not, and or does not at all.
  The change permissions 2.) does not work on files that you should be able to access in changing oxnership, permissions, etc.
  3.) Google chrome won't let me access my account of microsoft (or fact rarely) trying to access assistance. But internet Explorer doesn't?
  Randomly will increase from Internet 4.) a previous connection wired to wireless to a reboot.
  5.) my 8 'key' windows was only shown to me after that I have let Windows scan my machine online? Why? I paid for this... I restarted it and it says: service not available (it worked the third attempt which was 1-3 minutes after the initial analysis). Windows only showed my product ID not the key. I know that my victory. 8 was OEM when preinstalled I bought it new, but why didn't we files on it that had nothing to do with activation, appearing on dates for three weeks, or so before I bought it. What is the 'activation of the factory'?
  6 :) Windows Essentials does not hang for a long time, and the troubleshooterprogram of update simply does not work (I had to go to the website to try tp operate, the bluetooth functionality is not good that there is an error.
  7.) windows scan and repair gets stuck at 27% (Im not the only one with this problem).
  8.), avery MS Office 2013 Disappears so often and not easy to reload "we have encountered a problem.
   

  The computer manufacturer is responsible to see that it works properly with Windows 8. It says that it is a new computer I contact HP and make these problems their. If you don't get satisfactory results I turn and look elsewhere for a computer. Hope this helps and if you need another post to help and we will be happy to help you.

  Hey jennyanderson99

  as you ask specifically about active desktop, here's what it is, or in your case what she was before vista released

  Active Desktop is a feature of Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 Windows Desktop Update that allows the user to add optional contentHTML on the Office, as well as a few other features. This feature was designed to be installed on theWindows 95 operating system then in force. It was also included inWindows 98 and later Windows operating systems up toWindows Vista, where the feature wasdiscontinued. This corresponds to the version ofInternet Explorer 4.0 to 6.x, but not Internet Explorer 7.

  HTML users can add in place of the ordinary wallpaper as independent resizable desktop items. Items available online can be regularly updated and synchronized so that users can stay up-to-date without visiting the site in their browser.

  Active Desktop works as the technology of desktop widget that allows users to add customized their desktop information.

  Here is information for active desktop for xp

  information from wikipedia about active desktop are less than

  http://en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_Desktop

  The introduction of the Active Desktop brand attempt by Microsoft to take advantage of the ephemeral trendtechnology push led by PointCast. Active Desktop has imposed a number of "channels" ofdesktop computers that provided information updated continuously, such as headlines and stock quotes, without the user to open aWeb browser of the user.

  Active Desktop debuted during the publication of 1997 of Internet Explorer 4.0 for Windows 95 and Windows NT 4.0, install it as a feature of theWindows Desktop Update offered to users during the upgrade option. The Windows desktop update is commonly referred to as (bad) Active Desktop itself, but it is actually a whole Windows shell to level v4.0 to v4.71, or v4.72, with many changes in the Windows interface, resulting in a level look and features almost indistinguishable from the Windows 98, then again to-be-released. Features include the ability to allow uppercase filenames (the old v4.0 Desktop would forcibly filenames in title case uppercase), the dynamic tracking file selection click configurable, customizable by HTML, QuickLaunch folder display settings mini buttons on the taskbar next to the Start button, improved to Start Menu drag and drop re-organization of the elements and menus contextual click right to rename point etc. With the update, Windows Explorer now has an address bar in Internet addresses that can be entered and driven seamlessly.

  Active Desktop was widely regarded as a failure, with one of the main problems being its use high system and reduction of the stability of the system resources. Although not used^{[citation needed]}, the availability of Active Desktop was decisive for the legal argument Microsoft in antitrust case of United States v. Microsoft , that Internet Explorer has a feature of Windows, not a separate product.

  Later use

  Windows Vista has replaced the Active Desktop withWindows Sidebar (now called Gadgets Windows Desktop fromWindows 7), which also allows the components to add to the desktop. Windows XP is the newest operating system from Microsoft to support Active Desktop. It seems that the 64 bit version of Windows XP supports is no longer Active Desktop. It provides always the option to display Web pages and channels built with MicrosoftChannel Definition Format (CDF) on the desktop.

  Display HTML features are now mainly used for creating wallpapers originals and adding the fields of desktop search. For example, a user can copy the following code to display the search box of Wikipedia on the desktop:

  Hi Izzy Nagar,

  ·         Exactly when you receive this error message?

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

  ·         Do you have any extended monitor connected to the computer in the past or at the present time?

  Follow the suggestions below for a possible solution:

  Method 1: You can try to reduce the resolution of the screen (lower), then check if the message still appears.

  Check also if the refresh rate of the monitor is set correctly and check the manual of the monitor for assistance.
