• Activation of McAfee said to contact Dell technical support

  I have a new XPS435.  When I try to turn it on, it says that it has already been activated, and if the system is a Dell refurbished that I should call Dell Support.  I can just see how THAT phone call will go.  This system is a Scratch and Dent of the decision-making model.  Do anyone know what is the problem, or if there is a support forum I can post this in?

  Also, how can I get a notified when someone replies to this post?

  Hi Artesian79:

  Under "Groups" at the top of the page select the forum "news for the community. Just wanted to leave a link for you, but this isn't the copy for any reason any. It's sort of a catch-all forum and they should be able to point in the right direction.

• Error: "old version of Hello can not be removed, contact the technical support group" while trying to install Itunes

  Original title: problem with Hello spoil reinstall iTunes on my PC

  I uninstalled itunes today because of the problem with Hello, I'll tell (he was a snake swallowing its tail of history with this type), and now when I try to re - install, installation of demolitions for itunes, if Quicktime is going in, and then I like the old version of Hello cannot be deleted and to contact my technical support group.

  Hello shows in Add/Remove Programs, but it will not uninstall. I used utility Eraser Tolvanen to crush every vestige and iteration of Hello I can find on my machine and other research increase nothing, but each try to install itunes is always abandoned for the old (imaginary?) version of Hello. I uninstalled Quicktime, too, before trying to re - install itunes.

  One thing I can relate on the behavior of Hello, she was turning on my machine 5 - 10 times a week for a few months now.

  I'm on a PC running XP Pro; What else can I tell you about my system?

• INSIDE JOB "DELL TECHNICAL SUPPORT" BASED IN INDIA HAS A SCAM

  Hello

  I am writing because I was the victim of what I believe, it's a "Dell inside job" in this scam of technical support for users of computers Dell off warranty or expired support based in INDIA. I've been a customer of DELL since 2003, was always the best technology support without problem, even when I called once about 7 years ago they cleaned up my computer for $49.00 which was ok with me without any problem. I bought an all in one computer in 2012, with 3 years of support. My problem started when I called DELL April 2016 of course didn't help because my computer was not covered, they wanted me to pay $89.00 a service of time, at this time there what I wanted was to get my computer to windows 8.1, I wasn't happy with 10, my computer was working fine. A week later, I started getting calls from ladies with Hindu accent claiming to be from Dell who want to help me fix my computer. I was always busy, and I told them that I not had time to seat 2 hours to do. They called it forth, until the day exactly a 29/08/16 months ago, I had the time to fix my computer slow and accepted their offer. He gave his guarantee Id # DELL9929 its name: Eric Thomas with a Hindu accent, I asked him: are you really from Dell? He reassured me that it was, they were getting signals from my computer that something was wrong. I thought because my computer after this call in April started to have more and more slow. He wanted to have access to my computer which is the only way they can fix it, I gave him access he installed an internet to analyze and clean security program call them KAPERSKY, he began to clear the files etc. According to him clean my computer. I made it clear I was not buying anything, he said no worries we do it because we have too many alerts to your computer. He told me he was going to monitor my computer for a week that he will call me Monday. I didn't go on my bank account or check e-mails because I felt that they looked at me, but instead of Monday he called me on Friday, so I told her that I don't have confidence in him. As soon as I hung up to 02/09/16 I called said Dell TECH SUPPORT what happened, to my great surprise this Hindu guy named Muthu Chidambaram Service Request: 935549938 has acted as he was aware of the scam, told me he's going to clean my computer for $89.00 service time or $239.00 per year. He also told me that I needed better security that he had one that was best for $249.99. I paid the $89.00 did not buy anything, but when I went to the Dell website to find a security software they had some for as low as $14,99 as it was the labor day weekend. I wonder why he tried to sell me one so expensive? As soon as I suspended with DELL, I went into my email to find that I had been charged by PayPal $450,00 leave DEN SUPPORT, called 801-829-7424 # imposter ask my money back either. PayPal and my Bank got my money, but it does not stop there. Why do I say is an inside job? 5 days after calling DELL TECH taking charge on 02/09/16, once again I received a call to a different number I gave only Muthu to contact me in case we were disconnected my phone Earth when it was fix my computer, the guy also Hindu told me exactly the same thing others had said in so many calls : They received signals. After you fix my computer Muthu asked me to respond to his email if I had more problems with my computer. My computer started acting again when I answered by Muthu email because I need help, he never responded, but when I called the 09/09/16 DELL SUPPORT because my computer was not at beginning, they wanted me to pay again, when I asked to speak to a supervisor, Rajeev (name of Tech) told me I had to pay $39.00 to talk to a supervisor which is something that I have never heard in my life, dealing with many companies. I was upset and told him they were running a scam, an inside job of the technical support because everyone involved was based in India, I told Rajeev history and he said that I was going to go further. 13/09/16, I got a call from DELL, a supervisor called Hindu Dave too, not too sweet. I told him about the scam from inside DELL, suddenly, he said: "I can refund your $89.00, you can call the DELL TECHNICAL SUPPORT so they can fix your computer". I got the $89.00. My computer does not work. I'm afraid to call the DELL TECHNICAL SUPPORT because they do the same thing again, their scam's with Dell Support off users guaranteed because they can make money in this way. I think they get a bonus if they sell us more, so our computer will never work as they should, because they want to keep us reminded. If we fall into their trap, like I did, you call DELL to fix our computer every time. A SCAM. They have our computer tag #, all of our personal information. Scary. I think the enamel of Muthu, I answered, was something that has infected my computer. Long story, but true.

• (Redirected) Poor Dell technical support

  My modem was replaced in mid-December.  So I had difficulties to connect to my printer wirelessly to my Dell laptop.  I contacted the technical support Dell - main error.  After a price of $199.99 and five hours on the phone with them for two days, it still didn't work.  I not ask for their return.  At the end of the 1st phone call (3-4 hours), they thought they had everything and test printed a Notepad doc.  At one point the tech support rep placed me on video without asking if I was ok with that.  Total invasion of privacy!  Later in the day when I tried to print I got "paper mismatch".  Most of the paper size options were in millimeters.  The next day I called the technical support again.  He wanted to redo everything that had been done the day before.  After about an hour I told him that I have more time to deal with him, I was on a deadline.  I had to drive to my work to print the information that I needed.  Following all the delays caused by Technical Support, I did not finish my work until 02:00 I have not never will contact Tech support again.  I will use a local person.  I expect Dell to have a support department impressive considering the quality of their computer products.  Worst customer service I have ever received.

• False customer Dell technical support call

  I received 3 calls from phishing to an offshore organization claiming to be Dell customer Suppor and tries to scam me for giving them access to my computer.

  Monday, someone called me from the number 499-492-6931 and presented themselves as Sam, a Dell Technical Support, with an Indian accent. They explained on my Dell computer software they noticed that everything in is not infected my computer had received a number of attacks recently and to better protect what they wanted to do some features of Windows 'RUN' that may include typing "eventvwr" in the Run dialog box.

  As she asked me to do this I Googled what she told me that I don't want unsolicited calls and immediately saw the warnings 'SCAM' in descriptions of all URLS that appear in the lists of Google. I told him I knew it was a scam and that I ended the call and hung up.

  Apparently, they think that I'm very stupid, or now identified my number as a user of Dell PC and today I received two calls. Both of 800-254-1254. They have left a voice message that is involuntary where an Indian woman is laughing with his colleague on the first and 2, I replied and told her that I knew she was trying to rip me off and she hung up immediately.

  I don't know if Dell can work with the telephone companies to block these calls, and maybe try to see who owns to chase these people. They are now an embarrassment to me because they have my number and ask me repeatedly.  Unfortunately, there are people for fall, the elderly in particular who could be more confident.

  Good fishing!

  I doubt that Dell can block these scammers, unfortunately. I get phone calls from time to time. They ask usually you can open the event viewer, which shows always insignificant 'mistakes' to demonstrate that you have problems exist. Their goal is to make you turn the remote control of your PC.

  The fact is that neither Dell nor Microsoft can remotely monitor your PC from infections or other problems (except if you permit). All these calls saying cold also are scams.

  Although these callers often have thick foreign accents, I saw recent reports of the appellants with no accent, likely from the North America.

  I'm having fun with these crooks. When I acknowledge number a crook in the calls view, I respond with ' 911 - what is the nature of your emergency? Or I'll play dumb and string them along for wasting their time. Sooner or later they will get the message and leave you alone.

• "Error 1714. The old version of Microsoft Visual C ++ 2005 Redistributable cannot be deleted. Contact your technical support group. »

  (Windows 7 64-bit)

  This can be long and winded, but I spent 5 hours trying to solve this problem.

  It all started when I tried to uninstall a program, but I kept getting the message that wanted me vcredit.msi (or something like that) I downloaded a copy of it and pointed out the program of this file, but it has always found a problem and wouldn't uninstall. (Add/Remove programs won't uninstall it not more)

  So, I moved to the installation of a new program. He repeats to me '\Temp\IXP1. TMP\ is not a valid package for the product Microsoft Visual C ++ 2005
  Redistributable. Try to find the installation package 'vcredit.msi' in a folder that you can install Microsoft Visual C ++ 2005 Redistributable. »

  When I point to the vcredit.msi that I downloaded (just randomly sitting in my docs) I get "error 1714. The old version of Microsoft Visual C ++ 2005 Redistributable cannot be deleted.  Contact your technical support group. »

  I also have trouble downloading updates Microsoft for Microsoft Visual C ++ 2005 Redistributable & at the same time in updates it shows Microsoft Visual C ++ 2008 Redistributable.

  I tried to uninstall Microsoft Visual C ++ 2005 Redistributable via Add/Remove Programs, but it won't let me say it does not find some programs.

  This thing is annoys the heck out of me.

  I need to set the Microsoft Visual C ++ 2005 Redistributable problem (looks like I need the new version 2008 or 2010?) and be able to install and uninstall programs. Which is somehow related.

  Any ideas what to do. (Please speak as clearly as possible. I'm a fool when it comes to computers lol)
