Windows 7 says my copy is illegal, but it is not.
I bought the CD of W7 Ultimate and download it from the Microsoft site. When I reinstalled my computer with a new hard drive, I installed W7 and activated the option "Automatically record online" (or something like that, I'm not sure of the exact wording). It worked fine for awhile, but now, my office has turned black and it is said in the lower right corner that my copy is illegal. It is certainly not illegal, I've paid enough money for it and I bought directly from Microsolft site! I was also very careful when I typed long serial number.
What should I if you like (and how do I do)?

Try to activate again first by phone:
Activate Windows 7 manually:
1. click on start and in the search for box type: slui.exe 4
2. press enter on your keyboard
3. Select your country.
4. Select the telephone activation option and brace yourself for a real person.
Please run the Microsoft Genuine Diagnostics Tool then copy and paste the results into an answer here for further analysis:

How can I fix the "drag and drop" feature in Windows 7? It used to work, but now does not work, for no apparent reason!
What happens when you try? Make sure you drag the icon image and not the text of the name.
If it still doesn't work there are some registry changes that can try to alleviate the problem. But because the changes to the registry are tedious and dangerous, I recommend to leave the system to repair it for you. Here's how:- Type of restore in the search box of the start menu to find and open to restore system files and settings from a restore point.
- Click Next, choose a date before the problem started, then click Next once more.
- This process only takes around 2 minutes and only restores your system files/settings: it will not affect any of your files, documents, photos, emails, or anything else.
If the system restore does not resolve the problem try this to replace missing or corrupted system files. Here's how:- Type cmd into the start menu search box, and then press Ctrl-Shift-Enter to launch as administrator.
- At the command prompt to start the File System Check, type sfc/scannow .

Windows 7 says that my (5.0.5) Acrobat is not compatible. What can I do to use my Acrobat on Windows 7?
Nothing. The fact remains: it is not compatible. You need to buy a new version or sign up for creative cloud, if you want an Acrobat compatible. Otherwise, there are 1 million free or creation of files PDF Affordable and there the editing tools.

This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:
This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:
-Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system.
For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,
Description, version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.htmlFor drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update
Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
each installation.Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
necessary.Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check
manually by model.Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

ORIGINAL TITLE: problem of update of Windows vista edition Home premium
I just bought a laptop Toshiba of ebay, in excellent condition, the operating system is windows vista Home premium and the system is X 86 based. I have no trouble getting security updates or anyothers with the exception of SP1. When I do a windows update installation, it is said it was installed successfully, but when you look at the list update installed, it doesn't stand and she also works not highlighted on the sys.info page. I have already run the windows update fix the tool several times, but it doesn't solve the problem. Also update keeps telling me to install the SP1 package. I think that the number on the pack is KB96330 (not sure but I'll check in a few minuets when I go home for lunch). What should I do to get SP1 + 2 installed?
.. .he had appeared as if it was handed to the way in which it left the factory.
Looks can be deceiving, especially for what it is bought on eBay.
[If you bought used shorts Jockey on eBay, would you wear them before you had washed in water hot & bleach?] I hope not! ]

DVD says DVD player is blank, but it is not
Hi all
I am trying to install a program on a DVD. To do this, I need to launch the DVD at the start. It is has not been recognized during startup (i.e. it has not been said "Press any key to boot from the disc." or whatever it says) so I started the computer normally and inserted and it recognizes it as a blank DVD when I know for a fact the installation iso file is there. It works completely fine on other computers I've tried and other DVD works perfectly well, but that there is no reason any. I did a little research on the matter and have not found much to help my problem. I uninstalled Alcohol 120% (which is a virtual drive software) as it was suggested on a Web site I found but that has not worked. Manage devices said it works fine as well and it does not work in SafeMode either. I have no idea what it is and I can't find much help on the internet so any suggestions are appreciated. If you need more details let me know and I will respond immediately.
Thank you!
EDIT: I tried to uninstall the device and re - install, delete the registry UpperFilter in the Windows registry and tried to use the Windows Fix It program. All had no chance. :(

My printer says its out of paper, but it is not. How should I do?
The printer says it is out of paper and it also says in the devices section and printers on my computer. I tried to restart the printer and unplugged and replugged and he says even more paper. It will copy, but I'm not going to print. Help, please. Thank you.
This could be caused by a defective paper sensor. You need to fix the printer.

It will not only open when I try to open... it says, he is already running, but is not. I tried to uninstall it, but it won't uninstall, because he says that the program is running.
These questions can also be caused if the profile is set as default (default = 1) in the profiles.ini profile is missing.
One possible cause is a discount action zero who has failed somehow to supplement and update the profiles.ini file correctly. -

I'm under Windows 7 Home Premium (64 bit) with internet access provided through a USB modem with a SAM card, or through a wireless router (using the same modem). It comes from the host machine.
I installed Windows Virtual PC.
I installed Windows 7 as the operating system on the Virtual PC.
I installed and activated the integration features.
Now, I have two problems:
1. I activated the HARD disk on the host through integration features settings, but readers do not always appear.
2. I set the first NIC on the guest operating system as the shared networking (NAT). However, I can still access the Internet.
Any help will be appreciated. If you need more information, I would be happy to provide.
