Windows 8 arvato digital services, llc scammed...
I ordered Windows 8 Pro in January of 2013, I had no problem installing it... the first time anyway. Then my HARD drive crashed, I bought a new one and installed Windows 7 ONLY, I can use my product key I bought to upgrade to Windows 8... Well... that didn't work so well, every time I tried to download Windows 8, it gave me the error, "we cannot connect you right now." Same mistake via an ethernet cable and to different houses because I wanted to try on the internet, same error. I looked at my receipt of email that is attached to this forum, he said arvato sold to me. Now, I realized that a lot of other people and I have been scammed. I lost $42 and I want my Windows 8 back, I don't like Windows 7 because I'm missing out on all the good features of Windows 8. Microsoft, could you please somehow give me my Windows 8 download or disc? I really don't care I want to just back somehow.

WARNING: Arvato Digital Services will NOT ANSWER MY REQUEST of REFUND. BEWARE!
I sent 3 requests now to Arvato Digital Services, abougt my refund for Windows 8. It does not work on my system, even though the I run the Microsoft tool first.
They have not yet responded, call or nothing. I get the $40.00. Microsoft should stop these people if they sell their software not supporting. Help, please!
And, if you go to download your Windows 8, beware if she is Arvato Digital Services! Their link to Web site at the time that I tried is DEAD!
It's strange, they responded to me almost immediately when I asked for a refund of my purchase of Media Center and all I had to do was to sign an agreement that I had destroyed or otherwise uninstalled the upgrade. (I meant rather to use their free offer).
I wonder if you're going about things in the right way?

I received a call from the
saying that they would help my dose of my windows problems. Is it a scam? Hello
They are cold, you try to pick up the 'business' calling
It's a scam.
Either these so-called "Microsoft" Tech companies want to sell you a worthless software, or remote access to your computer to try to steal your credit card and bank information and also achieve an identity theft on you.
You are the only person who knows if you gave them remote access.
If you gave them remote access and you do Internet banking, contact your bank, to explain, and change passwords.
If you use your online credit card, cancel and get a new one issued to you.
And the only way that willl you know that you are free to them is to backup your data and do a clean install of your operating system.
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
And Microsoft does not contact you unless YOU have made prior arrangements with them to do.
There is an article in the link I'm you provide at the end of this one
Read this Information from Microsoft:
"Avoid scams to phone for tech support.
http://www.Microsoft.com/security/online-privacy/avoid-phone-scams.aspx

Hey, I tried to set up the console cheats for oblivion, but it does not work I followed the steps on how to stop the windows media center Receiver service, but even after that I stopped it it won't let me put up the cheat console. no idea what I should try next. ?
Hi daking9002,
To bring up the cheat console into oblivion, you will need to unplug the sensor remotely from the PC. Once it has been disconnected, the oblivion cheat console will come just as it would on any other PC.
I also tried equipping my number 1 access key. It works very well now, I just press 1 and the console opens. To close simply press ESC twice and press 1 once the UN-equip the ring.
You can also download: " http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=13133 ."

Hi all
I am running Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack 3 (build) 2600 and have loads and loads of problems. Windows keeps hung and everything I tried didn't seem to help.I brought this second hand from a company computer, I used to work and I don't have the original installation cd or rescue disk. I meet a lot of problems and everything takes forever to load and work. I was advised to run maleware, spyware, antivirus and defrag on the computer analyses and I did all that and nothing works. Also, when I tried to run the system restore it wouldn't let me, and when I try to run the scan disk after a reboot it does not work. As a last effort, I tried running SFC and it looked as if it was working, but then it asked me for the initial startup disk, that I don't have. so I tried to cancel it, but now every time that I reboot/restart my computer load SFC and I have to start the entire process. Also, none of my cd drives work. Please help meAlso, I'm now a message that says minimum virtual memory is very low.I would be very grateful for any help or advice anyone can offer us on these issues. a million thanks in advance.bfchildHello
1 how long have you been faced with this problem?
2. don't you make changes on the computer before this problem?
3. what exactly happens when you try to run the scan disk or system restore? You receive an error message? If yes then after return the exact error message.No software XP, Microsoft no longer offers that you will need to make arrangements for windows XP windows installation CD. You can check the question in the clean boot state.
From your computer by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs so that you can determine if a background program is interfering with your game or program. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot".
