Windows 8 metro Skype will not be installed

• Skype will not be installed

  A month ago (or more), I wanted to update my client Skype to the latest version. The downloaded installation program, seems to start installing and then stopped with the message:
  "We have problems connecting to download server. .
  " To download an alternative installer for Skype, click on the"Download"button."

  Needless to say I did it and ended up in the same window with the same message.

  Initially, I tell myself that it had network problems, with Skype or my ISP. I tried the next day and then a few days later and then began to realize the problem was elsewhere.

  This system is currently running Windows 7 64 bit, with IE11 (v11.0.9600.17501 with update 11.0.15 - KB3008923). I have since uninstalled Skype, thinking that the previous version was preventing the installation. There is currently no Skype on the machine, but I don't see that there still remains of preference files, etc. on the machine under various folders "user\name\AppData". I can't imagine that these would prevent the installation.

  I tried a number of different things:

  1. Used IE and Chrome (Version 39.0.2171.95 m) to download and try to install it. NOTE: The installation files download with success, "SkypeSetup.exe" and "SkypeSetupFull.exe", one according to your tent since. But neither finished their installation.
  2. I did not download management software, and I tried both disabling local firewall and disable the anti-virus software. The firewall on the router is not a problem, because the other computers within our home network have no problem download and install later (so he was installing successfully on other machines).
  3. I took the files (once again both) from another machine and tried to run the install locally on that machine. Same fruitless results.
  4. Just in case there was a problem of confidence and a problem with my root certificates, I downloaded and reinstalled the (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/931125). Still nothing.
  5. I also ran the two files separately as an administrator on the computer. No difference.

  If it is clearly evident that it is machine specific. I can not for the life of understand me what the problem is and why the installation will not end, nor why the message about problems connecting to download server would come, especially once I have already downloaded the installer! Can someone suggest something useful? Is there a Setup log that I can see to help pin point the issue?

  Your help is appreciated!

  Try with this installer for the currently most recent version of Skype 7.0.0.102:

  You are doing a Windows 7 upgrade starting in a race and activation of Vista operating system.

  Try to repair Vista:

  Restore point:

  Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.

  Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...

  Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

   

  If restore work not and you do not have a Vista DVD from Microsoft, do a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:

  Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

  When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

  NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

  Read all the info on the website on how to create and use it.

  ISO Burner: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html

  It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.

  You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

  It is NOT a disc of resettlement.

  And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.

• Windows 7 Ultimate trial will not be installed

  I have just formatted to all readers of my Samsung Ultrabook and am trying to install a trial version of Windows 7 Ultimate on it. I first tried to install it on the hidden 24 GB SSD that comes with 500 GB HARD drive, and everything was going well until the laptop is restarted before the final phase of the installation. As you know, the installation is supposed to complete after the restart, but it just brings me to the screen with the button "install". He basically asked me to restart the installation. So I did, this time on the HARD drive. Always the same result. I tried to change the boot priority in the BIOS, but it changed nothing. Help, please.

  Thank you

  Its possible Samsung uses a customized image of Windows 7 to install this type of hybrid storage configuration. Your best option would be to ask Samsung recovery media and use it to install Windows 7 on your computer.

• Unable to use wireless internet. In addition, my windows update will not be installed.

  Original title: extended error code = Oxfof4

  I have a couple of different symptoms. My laptop acts like it doesn't even have wireless capabilities although the exact model the same sitting next to her was a strong wireless signal (I still had internet capability on this laptop also). In addition, my windows update will not be installed.  I checked "Event Viewer" in system tools and have all sorts of errors. Error service Control Manager, "Warning b57w2k", code error Windows Update Agent and more. Still, the laptop doesn't move and accesses files, but no internet. I scanned with AVG and Malwarebytes 0 infection. Uugh!  Any suggestions?

  Many laptops have a switch that turns on or off the wireless radio.  This can be a physical switch somewhere on the laptop or a combination of the Fn key and one of the F keys.  Read the user manual for the laptop for more details.

  The warning includes "b57w2k" seems to be linked to a Broadcom NetXtreme 57xx Gigabit Controller (not wireless, wired).  You can click the copy (just below the up/down arrows) on the property sheet for the event and paste the content in your next post here.

  In general, the report that you have 'all kinds of errors' in Event Viewer is not very useful.  We do not understand what you're watching.

• I bought the Windows Anytime Upgrade, but the software will not be installed.

  Help... I bought the Windows Anytime Upgrade on Microsoft Office software to my Vista laptop, but the software will not be installed. Operation message is not supported on this platform. How to get around the facility? I have the product key number, but can not get so far to enter.

  I think that you bought the right product. Updates at any time are for the upgrade edition of Windows 7 to a more expensive edition. This isn't what you need to upgrade a Vista system to Windows 7. While Vista upgrades are no longer available from the Microsoft Store.

  I suggest that you return to the Microsoft Store site and use the contact methods to discuss your problem with an agent.
