Windows 8 on my new computer laptop vaio, what a waste!

I have a new laptop, a vaio SVS1511L3ES

After a few problems with my installation of windows 7, I decided to switch to windows 8.

I did a clean install and hoped that the Vaio Upgrade Tool for Windows 8 lite will install the drivers, but it didn't.

First of all, it downloads the files, for literally hours. Half the files it downloads are files that I didn't need. (AMD drivers, even if there is not an AMD chip in my laptop)

Then, after downloading for hours, the upgrade wizard crashes with an error of installation:

Error

On the Post Install, line 151: Argument 1 must be of type string.

Stack traceback:

1: [Post Install] line 151 in main piece

Since this happened, I get this same error whenever I start windows, after logging in to my account.

So I decided to manually install the drivers.

So far so good, most works except:

1. key doesn't work don't no, except the volume keys and mute

2 device manager displays "unknown device" (on Intel (r) Express Chipset LPC Controller HM76 - 1E59)

3. I can't get rid of the error that I get to the start, caused by the failure of the system initiated by the upgrade wizard.

I don't really you, how a NEW laptop that I JUST bought, with a FRESH windows installation 8 is unable to operate as normal.

Why is it I don't need files download windows Upgrade Wizard 8, crashing and then send me errors whenever I start windows?

Brightness controls do not work why?

After sleeping with installation of different orders, package installation, uninstalling packages, regedit, msconfig and so now I'm a little frustrated here.

Change the language for non-Unicode for English in the regional and language settings - administration tab, then restart.

Mine has been on my tongue. The facility has resumed after I restarted.

  • EliteBook 840 G3: Find the license key of Windows 10 for the new computer laptop

    My company recently purchased 2 HP Elitebook 840 of the G3 that come with Windows 10 Pro. I did a clean install with a customized image of Windows 10 Pro, but I get an error of activation. Where can I find the license key for our new computers?

    Once more, the license IS installed on the PC - that it is embedded in the motherboard UEFI firmware - but as I've said several times now, it is ONLY for the HP OEM of Win10 which was preinstalled version.

    OK, so try this utility: http://www.tenforums.com/software-apps/2577-showkey.html

    But don't be surprised if it does not work with the version of Win10 that you have installed.

  • Printing a Web page to a .pdf or .xps file generates a file but it is empty. How can I fix it? I have Firefox 40.0 on a new computer laptop for Windows 10

    When I print a Web page to a .pdf or .xps file, it creates a new file, but file Explorer says it's 0 KB in size. These .pdf files will open, but they are white - the only thing that appears is the outline of a page, without anything in the outline. When I print an .xps file, File Explorer shows that it contains 0 KB. When I try to open it, I get a message saying that the XPS Viewer cannot open the file. These things just started for me a few days after I installed Firefox 40.0 on a new computer laptop of Toshiba Satellite with 10 Home Windows operating system. I have the latest version of Flash Player (in fact, I just tried redownloading and reinstalling the current version; that does not solve the problem). I tried to change the format by default to print to .pdf file, but that has not solved the problem. I contacted the chat Windows support site; They told me that it was not a Windows problem. Is this a Firefox problem? If so, you can tell me how to solve the problem, please?

    Your new PC must have provided with software to play. Otherwise, I'd contact the manufacturer and see if she did or why it didn't.

    If you buy from a seller valid an OEM version, and assuming that the manufacturer of your laptop provides drivers win7 for the appropriate bit of victory version, there is no problem.

  • Transfer to a Bachelor of windows 7 to a new computer

    I would like to know if it is possible to transfer a Bachelor of windows 7 to a new computer and how difficult it is to do.

    Information to help with my question:

    • The current computer that has the license of windows 7 is an Asus G74S laptop
    • I upgraded the version of windows to Windows 7 Home laptop to Windows 7 Professional with a product code and iso provided by microsoft with their students and students.
    • The product ID listed for this version of Windows 7 is not an OEM, and I can post the complete product if necessary just to be 100% sure ID.
    • I always have the product code for the license, that I intend to transer.

    Any help with this would be very useful.

    You must first return the laptop for Windows 7 Home Premium, then you will have the right to transfer the license of Windows 7 Professional:

    New computers that come pre-installed with Windows often have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.

    If your recovery partition is not available or damaged, you must contact the manufacturer of your computer, and request that a defined recovery disk you can use to reinstall Windows 7. They could practice a small shipping and handling.

    ------------------------------------

    This is how the recovery partition is accessible to most popular brands...

    For Asus, press F9, as soon as you see the Asus logo.

    Once you have done this, you can install or upgrade to another computer using the Windows 7 Professional license, you may need to reactivate by phone, because it was already in use:

    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.

Instead, I copied the program and export/import the relevant part of the registry. And also copied FLEXnet. However, the program comes the spirit the message "licensing for this product has stopped working". I used the ADOBE recovery tool, but nothing helped. Thanks for any ideas or help them.

    It is relatively simple as you use and that you want to use WLM.

    You will need to copy a folder from where it is (the old installation) to another place where you know it will be (for example on your desktop)

    The folder is c:\users\your user name\app data (if it is not there, see the note below) \local\microsoft\

    At that point you will see a folder named oddly enough "windows live mail" copy on your desktop

    If you don't see the app data because it is invisible atm.  To make it visible, you need to go to your control panel > folder options > view > change to hidden folders (see figure)

    Once you have mail backed up on your desktop (or where ever) drag the folder from the desktop to the location for the new WLM (once again we C;-... just like above).  Just make sure that WLM does not run in time.  What wont be imported, it of passwords and rules.

    Accounts and data should now be in the new WLM when you open it.

  • I have a PC with windows 7 Home Premium installed. The PC is faulty and cannot be resolved. Can I reinstall the same Windows 7 to a new computer without additional cost?

    I have a PC with windows 7 Home Premium installed. The PC is faulty and cannot be resolved. Can I reinstall the same Windows 7 to a new computer without additional cost? If yes how can I do this? Some people reported issues license keys and it cannot be registered once in a PC.

    Thank you

    It is the major limitation of the OEM software that it can be installed on a PC. The COA label will confirm whether the license is OEM. A number of elements can be replaced in a PC in the way of repair, but only if exactly the same model of Council can this be exchanged.

    Even if you transfer the drive to the new PC would not authenticate because of the change of equipment, and it would be unlikely to to re-authenticate online.

    If the label is not OEM and you have a retail package, so it can be transferred.

    If you say in Device Manager there are yellow warnings that it would usually be due to a problem with the chipset or usb drivers.

    If you're telling the problem is only with the particular usb ports it may be related to internal wiring/connections, and if yes is not user serviceable
