Where to report a fraudulent call for a "microsoft office"?

I received a call from one telling me that they had received error messages "Microsoft office" and wants that I change the settings on my computer. When I asked for a callback number check that the call is legitimate, they did not give a number. they wanted to change the settings first. I refused and hung up... where can I report this problem?

There is little interest in reporting the issue because Microsoft and the authorities are aware. The problem is that the appellants work from outside the jurisdiction of the places they call.

You would do a great service to tell all your family, friends, colleagues, collaborators, even people you don't like... :-)

  • Delete "Check for Updates" Microsoft Office 2010 - GPO

    I'm working on the packaging of various components of Microsoft Office 2010, such as the shared components, the Office Software Protection Platform Service, Visio (all flavors) and project (Standard and Pro).  I wanted to delete "Check for Updates" in the Help menu.  I installed the Office administrative templates on my machine to capture, added models to gpedit.msc and open administration-> Microsoft Office 2010 templates-> disable UI elements-> "disable the commands on the file tab | Help»  I ran a prescan, then I activated the strategy, checked the box to remove the "Check for Updates" and click OK.

    I open Visio and checked that the 'Check for Updates' button is greyed out.  I closed my Visio and performed a scan of post and saved the project.  I looked in all the files in the registry text.  I pulled the text below in the file HKEY_CURRENT_USER.txt, added to the lower part of the same file in my project of exisitng Visio, run build.bat, cleared out the old sandbox, launched Visio, and the button is grayed.

    My question: this application will encounter problems with Group Policy objects, or the complete isolation on these entries mode settings will be sufficient to keep the setting?

    Here is the text of registry I captured and added (also included in the attached text file):

    Recently, I managed to find the solution. I also want to share this link who have supported me for this problem. (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=160ad53e-6475-4550-90c2-444e4abea730)

    In any case, thank you for your support of the link...

  • Error code 646 received when attempting to install the following UPDATES: Microsoft Office OneNote 2007 "&" update for 2007 Microsoft Office System ".

    I tried several times to automatically install these updates without success.  Any suggestion would be appreciated!  Thank you.

    Sorry, you have problems getting your patches installed. I have a number of things for you to look at.  First of all, are your Windows Update and the Background Intelligent Transer Services set to Automaticand started . You can check these settings by typing services.msc in the search box of the start menu.

    Sometimes in order to get patches to install correctly, you must perform these tasks manually.

    (1) Download Center to visit Microsoft: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/default.aspx.
    (2) search for each update code that begins with the letters "KB" and followed by a set of numbers (i.e. KB979309).
    3) click on the link for the download and then click on download and run.  You must accept the agreement of contract and then click on continue.
    (4) repeat this process for each download of updates Windows could not install.
    (5) to rerun the update from Microsoft, click find updates.  If all goes well, it will show that you are completely patched.

    If this does not work, try to run the Microsoft OneCare safety scanner.  Sometimes it will solve problems of hidden registry, or erase viruses can prevent the installation of patches: http://onecare.live.com/site/en-us/center/whatsnew.htm. Click full service scan, and then Quick scan (full scan takes a long time to complete). Try the patches.

    See you soon,.

  • Meeting place for Dell 8 Pro - where is preinstalled Microsoft Office?

    I recently took a tablet of Dell place 8 Pro 64 GB (model 5830). That's great, but it was announced on the box as having Microsoft Office Home Student Edition 2013 pre-installed, but I can't.  All I can find is a tile of start menu to buy Microsoft Office 365.

    How and where can I get the free version of Microsoft Office Home 2013 which was announced?

    Thank you.

    I just checked my box again.  It came in a transparent plastic bag, approximately 5 "square.  The Interior is a brochure with instructions in some 50 languages.  The cover of the booklet has the key activation/product on the outside label.  I saw this label first, and tried to enter the label bar code which is glued to the outside of the package.  It's probably why I had a problem.

    Is the part that I forgot when I answered you, there was also a paper in the called package, Dell Software Installation Guide.

    He is told to go to office.com/getoffice or click here for Office 2013, where 'Click here' as a link points in an image of a window (which I assume you would see if you clicked on the desktop on the splash screen).

    The link to be click on says "already purchased a different version of Office?

    That link above are (?) figure: "I already bought Office 2010", 'Go to the Office purchases online' and "Try office free for a limited time".

    Hope that you do not lose this small label/certificate with the activation code, but as I said, he finally just asked my Microsoft account number.

    When I click on the link below the error that says "get help with this error, a Windows Help and Support window opens with this in the search box:

    "WindowsUpdate_80070641" "WindowsUpdate_dt000"

    I did some research and it seems that this error indicates a problem with the installer, but I tried several proposed fixes and none of them work.  Defective patches include:

    -modification of the parameters of service by Windows install to start automatically and then start it manually, and then try to update

    -With the help of the (Administrator) command prompt to manually start windows update, and then try to update

    -Use of the (Administrator) command prompt to manually stop the windows update, then try to update

    -With the help of the (Administrator) command prompt manually update windows, then rename the files that have been damaged (sorry, I don't know more than what files), and then try to update

    -Disable UAC, then try to update

    -Use of the Download Center Microsoft to download the specific update and try to install.

    What's weird, is that it is the only update with the problem, I can and have installed every update that was shown to me.  Recently manually, I started Setup of windows with the command prompt, then run the update. Later, I tried to stop the service and restart, but the service was already stopped. It seems that the installation of windows service is stopped during the update.

    I'm running a Windows Vista x 86 machine.

  • where can I find an email for the Apple Store? Carl

    Hello

    Where can I find an email for the Apple Store?

    Update was not available with this Apple ID either because it was bought by another user or the item has been refunded or cancelled. There was an error in the [[Store. I don't want to lose my money, which is more than 100 euros.

    Help, please.

    Carl

    Please test after each of the steps that you have not already tried it. Stop when the problem is resolved. Back up all data before making any changes. Remember, no one here is Apple or can help in problems of service the customer.

    Step 1

    If you have recently changed something in your Apple ID account (for example, the password), log out of the App Store and reconnect.

    Step 2

    A purchased app can only be updated by logging into the App Store with the same identifier Apple which was originally used to buy it. There is no way around this restriction, which applies also to the free applications. If you can not connect to help ID the buyer, remove the app and reinstall it. You will have to pay for it, once again, as appropriate.

    Step 3

    If you receive the alert when you try to update a grouped iLife application, select the shopping page in the App Store and find the application in your purchase history. If there is a button marked ACCEPT on the right, click on it.

    If you have a used Mac, bundled apps related to Apple ID of the original owner and may apply to you. Reportedly, customer service has published codes redemption to some owners of second who asked, but it is not guaranteed.

    Step 4

    If you try to update the iLife or iWork applications that were installed from a purchased DVD, or if you have a refurbished Mac purchased directly from Apple, contact App Store customer service for a redemption code. If necessary, you will be asked for the part number of the DVD.

    Step 5

    In the App Store menu bar, select

    Store ▹ view my account

    Enter your Apple ID to the command prompt. In the lower right corner of the window that opens, click the reset button. Close the window.

    Where can I find the drivers for my Portege M200? Because there is none on the download page. The only drivers that you might find there are drivers for bluetooth, wlan and I think it is. Have no drivers for my sound card, my network card and all the other stuff.

    I need to download because I really really need to do a fresh install and my recovery disk is lost since the last time I moved.

    Naturally, I called Toshiba and asked if I could get a new one, or if I could download it some how, the response I got was "I'm sorry, neither we nor any of our partners have a.

    But since I already have XP pro license, I decided to install it because I almost never use the tablet properties more. And now when I did just that I can't find almost all the drivers my computer cannot function properly.

    Someone know where I can find a disk for an older MacBook utility? It seems that Apple can't MacBook since 2007.

    If you were able to call Apple support (after-sales applecare or apple?) and ask if they

    can know if you can still buy replacement system installation DVD of restoration for your MacBook

    they could tell you if it is possible if they have your serial number, to look further into it.

    • How to identify MacBook - Apple Support models

    • Find the serial number of your Apple - Apple Support product

    Depending on where you are, some support Apple or Apple Care facilities cannot

    be able to comply with a demand for vintage and filtering software obsolete spare.

    Some models introduced in 2007 started with 10.4 Tiger (with the version of the Intel-based OS)

    and went as far as Lion 10.7.5 as their higher upgrade system. All systems prior to 10.7

    usually included a system restore DVD media kit, gray-label of this Mac-specific disks.

    If you bought the computer in 2007, it may have been a year of construction 2006 model, in order to

    be able to identify the computer model exactly, the discovery of a boot of replacement keys is

    DVD that can also be used to prepare the computer for a replacement of the HDD, etc.. The

    utility disc on the DVD installation-restoration is an important tool; so is the installation disc & software.

    A detail of (if any) the system drive on the computer, if those who took on DVD

    would be a bootable disk utility version in the installation program. The DVD of grey original label

    media can be found in resale, are used or old stock, published initially with a Mac, new.

    Places online like Amazon may be able to provide the specific software package if you knew

    exactly the part numbers your computer had when new on these original discs.

    Serial number of Mac news - your Apple series number search:

    https://www.PowerBookMedic.com/identify-Mac-serial.php

    If you identify a number before contacting Apple computers on-line software resellers

    You may be able to narrow down. In addition, if identify the computer exactly, there may be some

    This time DVD media (exact details, new or used; original gray-replacement of labels, used.)

    And finally, if the computer running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and he is older than the date of this

    OS X system, you could buy a DVD of Snow Leopard 10.6.3 retail on Apple Store online, to get

    the installation program which has a utility disk in the package. You start from the DVD to use these

    utilities include in the installation program. It can also erase everything. If the computer shipped with the

    last supported OS X installed 10.7, who no doubt had a key task to install USB, not a restore DVD.

    Later computers have their built-in OS X Recovery, a partition on the hard drive which has the OS X

    Utilities and a way to go online for the software of system recovery and restore without media disks.

    Nothing is as simple as it sounds. the first thing is to correctly identify the computer; If you call

    Apple (depending on where you are in the world), results may vary. their after-sales service or Apple

    Nobody care may be able to help or tell you that they cannot, on the basis of the serial number.

    In any case...

    Good luck & happy computing!
