• Open windows with the "preparing your desktop" and all the specific parameters of the lost user

  Original title: laptop charge no office

  Please bear with me, this is my first post and I'm not very computer literate. I have a laptop Packard Bell under Windows 7. Everything seemed fine until I turned it on the other day and after the login screen I noticed that the blue screen of windows had a message saying, preparing your desktop... it stayed for a few minutes and then he went to my office, but the screen was black and none of my usual icons were present. He has none of my usual icons in the taskbar either. My usual browser of choice is Chrome, but now there is only IE in the taskbar. I did a scan with Malwarebytes and it came with JS/Redir, I removed this and restarted the computer laptop, but had the same problem. I can't access the internet, but a strange thing is that the default fonts for things like email have been changed. Please help me get my usual workstation and familiar environment of return!

  Hello Maurice Mann

  Thank you for all the time and effort that you put in trying to help me with my laptop PC problem.  I think that all the trouble which resulted from a faulty AVG!

  I finally managed to uninstall this program, I started to make progress.

  I finally got back on the internet by following the tips as follows: -.

  Run the SFC system several times. Click Start, click all programs, and then accessories. Right-click Guest, and then click Run as administrator. Type or copy sfc/scannow then press ENTER. If it finds errors, but cannot fix try a couple of times again. If it still does not work, then restart.

  I tried a few times and nothing happened, so I decided to make one last try and after a reboot, everything was back to normal.  I had the help of Windows and pages of back Support, my office, and all of my favorite settings and I've been on the internet Wi - fi!

  Thank you once again and I hope my information helps in the future.

  I have Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit) on my laptop.  It is on a home network.
  When I turn on the laptop, it says "Preparing your Desktop" and it opens onto a temporary desktop computer.  There is a message that it is a temporary connection, no docs will be saved, etc...

• Windows cannot reset your computer

  My computer says windows cannot reset your computer... Please help me to reset my computer...

  The original product key is embedded in the motherboard of the laptop UEFI firmware, so you're not going to lose...

  If you restore using recovery media HP, which will retrieve the key automatically and reactivate the original OS.

  However, you have already saved your PC running Win10 with Microsoft. So, if you decide to install Win10 instead, as long as you install the same version you already running, once the PC connects to the Internet, it will communicate with the Activation of MS servers and automatically reactivates.

  Good luck

• 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".
