  • on windows 7 extended supports.

    Hello

    I know windows 7 has left mainstream support and now is in the extended support phase.
    After some research to know how extended support, I have a few questions and hope someone can enlighten me.

    From what I understand, extended support gives right to two wins 7 business and consumer users free security updates.

    For the update of security not supported, I would need to purchase support for patch extended with software (to waive the requirement of 90 days) assurance.

    Is the support of fix extended with software assurance caters to win 7 OEM product/device?

    I sincerely hope that someone can help me because I feel a bit confused about that.

    Kind regards

    Alan

  • This will take more space than that. How to open a window to ask a question after my computer hacked. How to open a window to ask a question and give details?

    30/05/2011, just after a meeting controversial of our community local Government Council, the Council pulled its Director general. It's great news for our community, and I tried to send copy of news to our regional newspaper online. Idiscovered that all my "hotmail" account passwords is over worked. Then I reset passwords for each of them over the next few days and discovered that the new passwords do not work, or they would work during a day, and then the passwords would not work the next day. Even more confusing was the fact that one of the passwords from the original account has started working again, even after I had changed the password on it! I took the window of opportunity to apply online for assistance. I received a number of responses with PIN to grab, to a "windows live (hotmail) private forum." However, this process did not work for various reasons. Perhaps, for those three confused accounts password reset Microsoft System for account recovery. But the resets a lot were the result of having none of the passwords work, even after reset. I took the last email I received from Microsoft, clicked on the link to access the page where I could enter the PIN, to take on the private forum. The screen said that the email "was no longer valid," even if I replied to the email within 24 hours (I think...) I have entered my PIN anyway and arrived at a page that directed me to "private forum", only it was no 'private' forum, or is it possible to get it to him. There was no sense and no link to access. I am directed to a page of windowslivehelp General to "create a new user profile." I have three that I can't access. I entered the emails of non-working and my personal information. The message returned to the statement that "a user with this (email,... or something like) already exists." It's that I got. I could not beyond this page without entering the name of someone else or some false information because I am me and that he would do no good to put in another. I can barely keep track of all the passwords, names, addresses, etc., etc., I already have! The result is, I'm stuck on my account without a valid reason, and the account I am locked out so is the most important account. And this is where Microsoft should be concerned. The e-mail account that has been hacked for nearly two weeks, it is that the account of a set aside ONLY for MICROSOFT BUSINESS. One day, I could access the account (the password resets through chess,) I discovered that two and a half years of correspondence with Microsoft technicians - including their email addresses - had disappeared. All my files with their correspondence had been deleted or stolen. All emails deal only with the Microsoft program and solutions and recommended patches and operating system problems. This is not good. I had saved the lessons and references to the study for future work on my computer. So the fact that I can't send or receive e-mail from the techies interferes with Microsoft and Security Affairs as well. To make things worse, I also noticed that I don't get the usual techies follow-up emails after I have talking with them on the phone. Even when I give them my address email Earthlink, which has been configured to work with Outlook, I received no email from them. This tells me that the Earthlink/Outlook email has been hacked as well. I discovered that an email from a friend of mine had been opened, before even I knew that it had arrived in my email box. So what I want to do, is get specific help for a techie specific MS, on how to overcome the problems of communication. If I can't navigate to a "private hotmail forum" to get a response to my email; and if the technicians e-mail can't me and doesn't work when it is not, how to solve the lock-out of e-mail? A cat live would be the best solution. I understand that pay for MSN email comes with live phone support, but I have not yet registered for this service. Yes, there is a live chat page that can help with the problem of hotmail? Is there a way that I can read a specific answer to my specific problem? I still have to find an answer to this question. And finally, the fact that SOMETHING is put out that my Security Essentials at random times doesn't help. Security Essentials scans aren't picking up any viruses. However, this problem is recurring and has been for about the last two months. Even MS technicians checked the system configuration settings to ensure that engaged, and it is. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Today, I have not checked remaining two hotmail accounts that appear to have been recovered. So, maybe I can receive e-mail from MS in my hotmail alternate accounts. However, the main account which I use only for correspondence of Microsoft, is still inaccessible and probably still not guaranteed. Advice appreciated.

  • 0xc000007b error code when you open Windows Help and Support

    I am running Windows 7 Home on a HP G71-449WM laptop .

    It is a double question I guess.  I was troubleshooting my web cam doesn't work does not and was directed to reinstall a mediasmart missing file to test because I couldn't locate.  Tried this and it would not install.  Downloaded fine, but would not install properly.

    He suggested then I go to Windows Help and Support, and when I try to run I get the same code, there was an error and the program does not load error 0x000007b code.

    How to fix this?   I'm pretty comfortable with troubleshooting on mine, but I can't even solve the problems now.

    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

  • Errors in Windows 7 with Windows Help and Support, network connection, and the system restore

    I have a HP Pavilion dv6 (4 years), sometimes overheated with heavy use. Normally I can cool, restart and wear. However, my laptop just overheated and closes, and this time I encounter all sorts of problems.
    First of all, after the reboot, I noticed that the system does not automatically connected to my Wi - Fi (it does not even recognize the available network).
    Secondly, in attempting to fix the network problem, I clicked on the link "Troubleshooting", only to receive the following error message "an unexpected error has occurred. ID of Package cannot continue the Troubleshooting Wizard": unknown path: C:\Windows\diagnostics\system\networking error Code: 0x8007045A

    Third, because troubleshooting did not work, I thought I'd try the help and Support Windows to search for answers. However, when I opened it, I received the following message: "Windows Help and support has encountered a problem. You might be able to solve the problem by restarting Windows Help and Support. If the problem persists, proceed as follows: 1. search the online help on the Windows website.  2. contact your manufacturer of computers or Microsoft Support for assistance. There could be a problem with one or more Windows system files or folders on your computer. "Because I could not connect to the internet, these suggestions and links were useless.

    Fourthly, as I failed to locate the problem, I tried a system restore. However, after he appeared to run (took about 30 min) and restarted Windows, the following message appeared: "system restore was not entirely successful. The system files and settings on your computer did not change. Details: System Restore could not access a file. This is probably because an antivirus program is running on the computer. Temporarily disable your antivirus and restart System Restore. An unspecified error occurred during system restore. (0x80070005)
    You can try the system restore again and choose a different restore point. If you continue to see this error, you can try an advanced recovery method. For more information, see what is recovery? "I have disable my antivirus (AVG), tried and received the same error message.

    Short physically all my backup files and restore to factory settings, I think I've exhausted what I can do.

    * EDIT * after scouring the site, I found a suggestion to run the tool via the command prompt System File Checker (see thread here: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-performance/no-internet-connection-on-this-computer-after/83fb22c9-712e-467d-9a68-f8d52dde9bcb), which I did and found some corrupted files. The following response appears: "Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files and repaired successfully details can be found in the CBS.log newspaper... File system changes will take effect after the next reboot. "After restarting, the internet connection problem seems to have been resolved. Service work. and Windows Help and Support also works! I hope it helps someone else!

    Hi Lorenacadi,

    Thanks for sharing of the resolution. Your efforts and patience are highly appreciated.

    In addition to the emission of heat:

    Two things inside the laptop generate heat - power (in the place where the power cord plugged in) and the processor.  The CPU has a heater and a fan to help disperse the heat and keep the CPU at a reasonable temperature.  Hot air is sent on the vents, and air at room temperature between in other events.
    What happens generally is dust forms near the vents, near the Airways within the laptop computer which lead to the mouths and on the CPU fan itself.  All these sources of dust cause airflow slow down, so that the hot air lingers and gets even hotter.  To resolve this problem, you will need to take the laptop apart and 'very good' to clean the dust and the CPU fan.

    Another potential source of heat which would be composed of dust problem might be software related.  More 'work' the CPU must do the most energy is needed and therefore more heat is released.

  • Windows Help and support keeps popping up.

    I have a hp system I used for aroud 2 years. but for these last days, windows help and support keeps popping up. I checked all the keys of the keyboard, tried to reinstall windows, worked well for 2 days, tried safe mode, but the problem doesn't go away. On-screen keyboard in my system shows that the key to the 'window' is pressed permanently, but it is not. Help, please!

    Hello

    1. What is the brand and model of the keyboard?

    2. have you made any changes to the computer?

    3 have you tried the same keyboard on another computer or another keyboard on the HP system to see if the problem occurs?

    Since the question does not appear 2 days after you have reinstalled Windows, it is possible that some changes have caused the problem as recently installed updates.
