Windows 8 "license is invalid" after Windows updates (help please!)
Hello
I have a C540 all in one (no load) running Windows 8 and noticed yesterday that Windows updates have been failure for months then tried to run all the updates so that I can update to 8.1 (and, possibly, 10). At that time (and since purchase - I'm the original purchaser) Windows 8 has been activated very well.
There were various failures and reversions of updates and now Windows does not recognize the Activation Code. The key is material, it shows that I have a key in the registry, but when I entered in the service of Activation of Windows I get the error:
The following error occurred while trying to use the product key:
Code:
0xC004F01F
Description:
The Software Licensing Service determined that the license is not valid.
Microsoft helpfully told me this isn't their problem because it is an OEM license (even if the only thing I've done is apply the updates of Windows) and I need to buy a key to sales at retail. Lenovo speaks for me because I'm out of warranty.
Someone at - it ideas or experience or I'll just have to hit this PC with a massive hammer and not buy Lenovo or authorized OEM PCs again?
Thanks in advance!
I think I have a half today to answer my own question.
Today (without any changes made to anything) the key to Activation of Windows 8 was suddenly recognized and valid again. Now install each windows update individually also works.
I think that it is possible, but there is an intermittent hardware fault kind on the C540 causing quite different material for the MS license not to recognize the configuration (and think that the license is not valid for the PC), whatever it is not permanent.
Then - in terms of correction... Well I don't have - he went just by itself and I guess he'll be back one day...

I'm trying to install the driver for my Photosmart 7760 (7700 series) on a 32-bit version of Win7 and Windows update is stating, that it does not exist. I consult the list of drivers after their update by using the windows update button in the Add Printer Wizard and there is the 7400 series and the 7800 series. Series No. 7700. I go to your support site to download and it tells me to use Windows update.
I'm now stuck in a time loop in and out. It never ends. Use windows update, there is no. Go to your site, tell you to use windows update.
Please stop by displaying a link to the driver for me.
Hello
Due to the age of the printer, you can find the last date of support was around April 2007, which is almost 7 years now. My suggestion: using the following link
b download driver Vista then install on your machine.
(b) patch Windows 7 use to solve the problem
Hope this work, otherwise it's time to buy a new printer.
Kind regards.

Thank you.
No, it can come from the store. The people responsible for that decision no longer work for Microsoft, and the next update after a (Windows 8.1 update 1) occur via the normal Windows Update System (be it in the control panel or the KB downloads). I expect that the next fall updated to be the same.

get essential windows live help please!
why every time I try to download windows live essential for xp at the end he says:
try to reinstall windows live programs. programs were not installed because installation has been cancelled. 0 x 80004004 abandonedI never cancel, what can I do? i've tried everything :(! Help, please!Hello massi4alex,
You can try to correct the mistakes of 0 x 80040004 of Windows Live Essentials by deleting the Windows Live folder and the temp folder in appdata or application. You will need to do it in safe mode. Once it is uninstalled, then reboot in normal mode and reinstall Windows Live Essentials for Windows XP.
If this suggestion does not help to solve your problem, there is a separate forum just for problems with Windows Live products.

whenever I log out of my laptop computer installs updates help please
I have Windows VISTA, whenever I disconnect I to waite while are installed updates etc. 1-4 or 1-7, its only do this recently help please
This happens when the automatic updates downloaded updates, but not all updates to date you have requested or for automatic download.
So we need to know why this is happening every time, most likely because updates have downloaded have not managed to install and that's why stop you of updates install at shutdown.
- Open Windows Update by clicking the Start button, all programs and then click Windows Update.
- In the left pane, click view update history.
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/see-which-Windows-updates-are-installed - Find an update for Windows that has failed to install, and then double-click the update to view more information.
Updates that have failed to install will display failed under status, next to the name of update. - In the Windows Update dialog box, next to the details of the error, review the error code for the update has failed.
- Follow the links in the Windows Update dialog box under more information or help and Support to resolve the problem, then try to reinstall updates by using Windows Update in Control Panel or by mail with the error code and maybe someone may be able to help others.
