    I understand that your laptop came with Free back and that you have installed Windows 8 pro yesterday.  You cannot change your account picture, the background or the screen saver.  You can't customize your windows. Also, you cannot install the software of the Windows store.

    Can you download from the store Windows and install simply not?

    Have you activated your Windows 8, if not, you will need to do this first.

  • Windows 7 Ultimate can not transfer Photos to ebay?

    Cannot upload pictures to ebay. I'm trying this IE10, Chrome, and Maxthon. I had Norton and removed because other people having this problem get answers on different forums on the firewall. Not the question because I have disabled the windows security and I have no firewall active. I have a brand new installation of windows 7 Ultimate edition. My old computer is right beside me and windows XP downloads very well. I can download on windows 7, but when you try to download on ebay, for example, I get an error telling me that the file is not a jpg. Well, it's a jpg. The theories?

    Just tried to change my profile picture of windows. I received this error when you try to download jpg: Server error in ' / Fud' Application.

    Thank you for helping me. In the meantime I had reinstalled Windows 7. The download works! So, I added the programs at the same time and found it was spybot S & D that was blocking downloads.

    Thank you and good day.

  • Reinstalling windows 7 ultimate retail after changing the SSD, the motherboard and the processor. I'm having a problem with the reactivation?

    I'll upgrade my desktop PC, by changing the motherboard, processor and SSD drive with the OS on it to boot. I have a problem with the reactivation of windows, and should I turn it off, somehow first, or the previous version will be considered as-enabled automatically? It is a retail, windows 7 64 ultimate version. Please advise, thanks in advance.

    Just reactivate by phone:

    How to activate Windows 7 manually (activate by phone)
     
    1) click Start and in the search for box type: slui.exe 4
     
    (2) press the ENTER"" key.
     
    (3) select your "country" in the list.
     
    (4) choose the option "activate phone".
     
    (5) stay on the phone (do not select/press all options) and wait for a person to help you with the activation.
     
    (6) explain your problem clearly to the support person.

    Remember, if it is a retail upgrade license:

    However, the requirements for the media upgrade is that you have an operating system already eligible such as Windows XP or Vista installed to use it. Since the Windows 7 end user license agreement.

    15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After upgrade, you can no longer use the software that you upgraded.

    So, if you are always denied, you will just have to reinstall Windows XP or Vista and let it do the verification of eligibility.

    You can skip to enter the product key and try the activation of the phone to work around this problem.

    Hello
    • What happens when you try to change the settings?
    • You receive an error message?
    • What were the changes made before the problem occurred?
    • Which settings you want to change?

    You can view these methods:
    Method 1:
    I suggest you to disable any program of security on your computer and check if it solves the problem.

    After reviewing the question you must reactivate the security on your computer program.

    Note: Run the computer without antivirus software or firewall is a potential threat to the computer; Be sure to activate security software after completing the troubleshooting steps and after identifying the problem.

    Method 2:
    I recommend you perform the clean boot.

    Configuration of your system in a clean boot state helps determine if third-party applications or startup items are causing the problem. If so, you need to maybe contact the manufacturer of the program for updates or uninstall and reinstall the program.

    See the following article in the Microsoft KB for more information on how to solve a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or Windows 7:

    Note: After troubleshooting, be sure to set the computer to start as usual as mentioned in step 7 in the above article.
