• When Microsoft will release product keys for the new xbox live beta dashboard for users? 26 August

  Hello

  I am registered for the new program to update xbox live dashboard beta and I was wondering when microsoft will likely make the product keys available for this update will take place. I waited more than 24 hours now and I find it unacceptable to keep the people waiting for such a highly anticipated update.

  did anyone know when these product keys are likely to become available because I'm starting to lose my patience now.

  I would check the updates on the site of Major Nelson

  http://Majornelson.com/2012/08/21/open-call-more-testers-welcome-for-2012-Xbox-Live-update-public-beta/

  When I made the beta for the dashboard they usually come out in waves. You just need patience because there is no time to get it.

• When Microsoft stop updating Windows XP

  When Microsoft must stop sending updates to Windows XP? It is April 2013 or 2014 April? Before he produced what should be done?

  Hello DeepakMukerjee,

  April 2014 is the end of the lifecycle of Windows XP. After this date, no updates will be available.

  As you are and keep to use Windows XP, you can either stay. The only problem here is that if no major problem is discovered, they will be not be patched (updated) so there may be vulnerabilities of the XP system to make it easier to cut, or you could buy a new computer with the latest version of Windows installed. Moreover, assuming that your current PC is compatible, you might update to a later version of Windows, say Vista or Windows 7.

  This forum post is my own opinion and does not necessarily reflect the opinion or the opinion of Microsoft, its employees or other MVPS.

• How can I disable the password when signing on surface?

  When I run surface pro it need a password.   How can I start to surface without a password?

  You CAN do it - but unless you live alone and does not rely on someone else
  access to your device, it is not the best of ideas. To do what you want, open a
  type and invite administrative cmd
   
  Control userpasswords2
   
  Press [Enter]
   
  You can now disable the required password box. You may need to restart a couple
  sometimes to make it work and do this twice.
   
  You can turn off possibly to require a password for 'waking from sleep.
  the classic Control Panel.

• When Microsoft will release SP1 for Windows 7?

  I'm curious as to the criteria that Microsoft uses to determine where they should go out a certain Service Pack for their operating systems.  IM counting 43 updates already installed for my OS to Windows 7 and this OS is officially released less than a month. Im not here to complain the number of patches. Its impressive speed at which they release security patches when they occur. But my complaint would be more to have to download and individually install all these fixes in the future, if I were ever a reason any. Once again, what my question is, when can we expect the first Service Pack 1 for Windows 7, and what criteria are going to Microsoft during this decision to release a Service Pack?

  P.S. For the record I think that its sad that Microsoft does not release a Service Pack 4 for Windows XP. IM already on Windows 7, but many people don't. Even if the system fades into history, it all seems like the right thing to do given the number of a security updates for the operating system from the SP3. System configuration: Winndows 7 RTM, Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3L motherboard, Intel Pentium Dual - Core E6300 Wolfdale 2.8 GHz, 4 GB of memory PC-1066 DDR2 Patriot Viper, 500 GB Western Digital hard drive, GeForce 8800GT Videocard

  Hi BradleyA,

  Thanks for visiting Microsoft answers CommunityForum!

  First of all, I want to thank you for your valuable suggestion. From now on, there is no information about the release of Service pack 1 for Windows 7. The same will be be intimidated through updates.

  However, incase if you want more information, please visit the below mentioned link:

• When Microsoft Excel loads the following error occurs: Error 1406 Setup cannot write the value in the \xlsx registry key.

  I have Windows XP on a PC, I bought at the beginning of 2009.  I have been using Microsoft Office applications with no problems until now.  When I try to open Excel, the following events occur: 1) a presentation box appears and poster - "Please wait while the window configures Microsoft Office Home and Student 2007.  Collection of the required information.   2nd) another box displays the following message: Error 1406 Setup cannot write the value in the \xlsx registry key.  Make sure you have sufficient permissions to access the registry or contact the Support Services technical Microsoft (PSS) for help.  For more information about how to contact PSS, see PSS10R. CHM.
  3rd, the next area said cancel, start over or ignore.   Retry and ignore just redisplays the same message box again.  When I click Cancel, the following error message is displayed - fatal error during installation.   I do not understand why this is happening since 1) I've been using Excel for quite a while and 2) I'm not trying to install office as it was installed on my PC when it came from the manufacturer (Dell).  Also, I have no problem with the opening of other Office programs.  I am the only user on this computer.  Help, please!  Thank you, Dennis

  Okie dokie.

  Well I dug on the web and found someone with the same problem, and they said that when they have disabled "McAfee VirusScan 8.5 Access Protection", this error has disappeared. If this applies to you, give it a whirl if you wish.

  But the best support that I found came from this website: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/838687. The jist of it is (trying to fix it yourself):
  Fix it myself to fix this problem yourself, follow these steps:

  1. Log the computer by using an administrator user account.
  2. Start Microsoft Windows Explorer.
  3. On the Tools menu, click Folder Options.
  4. Click the view tab.
  5. Under hidden files and folders, click Show hidden folders and files.
  6. Clear the Hide extensions for known file types check box, and then click OK.
  7. Open the following folder: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Office\Data\
  8. If you are running Office 2003, right-click Opa11.dat, and then click Properties. If you are running Office XP, right-click Data.dat, and then click Properties.
  9. Click the Security tab.
  10. Click Advanced.
  11. Click the permissions tab.
  12. Click to select everyone in the list entered permissions and then click change.
  13. Click to select the full control check box.
  14. Click OK three times. If these steps do not resolve this issue, delete the Opa11.dat file or the Data.dat file in the following folder and then restart an Office 2003 program or an Office XP program:
      C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Office\Data

      If this does not work for you, I would take my installation CD< completely="" uninstall="" microsoft="" excel="" (or="" any="" other="" problems="" that="" are="" giving="" you="" this="" error),="" then="" install="" microsoft's="" windows="" installer="" cleanup="" utility="" (which="" completely="" removes="" all="" stuff="" pertaining="" to="" whichever="" program="" you="" delete,="" for="" you,="" excel)="" and="" then="" reinstall="" microsoft="" excel.="" this="" utility="" program="" is="" really="" powerful,="" and="" you="" can="" download="" your="" copy="" from="">http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301.

• What he average when the green light comes on briefly when it is plugged and them goes out?

  I just bought the webcam connected and the Green led lights up and then goes away.

  Hi, Lord of the Manor,

  EDIT: Seen the following in response, I guess I should have asked, works the webcam otherwise OK?  Is that the only issue that light?  If so, then I would argue that it doesn't really mean anything and it would not be concerned about it.  I assumed, and the rest of this guess, the webcam is not working and it is one of the symptoms.

  What is the manufacturer, the brand and model of the webcam?  How did you install it or did you just plug it and expect it to work automatically (maybe it's a plug-and-play USB)?

  Are you sure that the webcam is compatible with your version of Vista?  Look at: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/compatibility/windows-vista/default.aspx.

  Make sure that the appropriate software/firmware or drivers are installed for the webcam.  Go to the Device Manager by going to start / find and type Device Manager and enter and then double-click on the program icon that appears.  Check each device to a red x, yellow! or white?  Search for one or more connected to the webcam and confirm that they are operable and functioning properly.  These identify devices with problems probably (drivers, but also of conflict or something else).  Click on each for more details and troubleshooting tips.  If you need to get drivers (and you should get those for the webcam to all least, even if Device Manager indicates that they work - they can help way beyond simply solve this problem), let the computer dealer or the manufacturer of the device (NOT of Microsoft Updates).  Follow these steps to get the drivers: http://pcsupport.about.com/od/driverssupport/ht/driverdlmfgr.htm.  Once you have the drivers, you can install them via the Manager device as follows: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/193584-device-manager-install-driver.html.  If there is any software or firmware as well (from the website), make sure that you install that as well in the order defined by the instructions (sometimes the order of the questions includinding if or not it is done while the device is plugged in or not).  The site may also include installation guides and/or the user manuals that can explain the purpose of the light and what it means when it is on or off and how to turn it on if it should be on to operate.  It is very difficult to help without details on the webcam as each works differently.  Actually, I don't even know if that's a mouthful in by USB to firewire or else however.

  I think it is unlikely that it came with no software, firmware, or drivers of any kind (mine did).  After plug in and do all the installations are required, go to start / Control Panel and see if there is a new icon for the Webcam and if so, click on it and try to configure it to work with your system by following the instructions.  If not, then click on start / all programs and check if there are no new software installed that associated with the webcam and if so, click it and follow the instructions to set up.

  I hope this helps.  If not, post back with detailed information (enough so that we can find the manufacturer and the specific webcam online) on the webcam and we will try to help you further in the establishment knowing that additional information.

  Good luck!

• Why Microsoft Virtual PC comes with Reboot and select proper boot device?

  Hello

  When that I start Microsoft Virtual PC 2007 it comes up with the following error message:

  Reboot and select proper boot device

  or insertion of the in the selected boot device bootable media

  How can I fix it?

  I am running Windows 7 Professional 32 - bit.

  Any help?

  You have installed an operating system on the virtual device?
  You have created a virtual machine. When you start it, it will try to start.
  There is nothing on the virtual drive so that the system asks to find a bootable floppy
  disk or CD/DVD.

  If you still need help, you can post in the Microsoft Virtualization forum listed below:
