Windows HP help
Hello
I have a HP Envy all-in-one and have been very happy with it; It came with Windows 8.
One of the applications on the start screen is HP help wehich has several tiles whne you open it; one of these is Windows Help. This brings to turn on the Microsoft Windows 8 Forum - really a very good thing when or have a question and need the help of others to respond.
Well. siddenly, this pane of Windows 8 is gone 'dead' - that is, if I click on it (or touch), nothing happens.
Does anyone else have this problem? How do I get back to 'life' so to speak?
Thank you
To know if you have available updates, check the Windows Store tile on the start screen. If there is a number in the bottom right corner, it means that you have updated. Click the tile:
In Windows stores, look for the link updates green in the upper right corner and follow the instructions on the screen to install the updates:
A lot of the time, you can search in Windows 8 simply by typing. If this approach seems too random, you can also select the charm of research: move your mouse pointer to the corner bottom right of the screen, and then click Search (which looks like a magnifying glass) charm.
To perform a search in the Windows store, you can simply click on the application to open it, type in the words to search for (Getting Started with Windows 8) and find the app under the heading recommendations. Alternatively, use the charm of the search, as described above.

Original title: the HELP window interferes with Corel 7
When I open Corel Draw 7 (Yes it's old, but he's all I have to do) as soon as I try to do anything on a graph, the window titled ' help' "Why can't I get help from this program? opens and won't allow me to contimue. As soon as I close the window, the first action I take it opens again. Nothing EVER happens on my chart. I can't take ANY action. How can I close that window and keep it closed.
Any ideas?
I just did a clean install of Windows 7 Home Premium from a disk I bought at Staples. I then re-load my old version of Corel. Corel Photo-Paint works well, it is fair to Corel Draw.
Corel Draw 7 is not compatible with win7, even when you use the compatibility options

my old motherboard was brockin so I replaced it with a new one and now I carnt activate windows pleae help
Something that all OEM computer owners need to understand...
Citing the example of a desktop HP ENVY h8-1419 PC...
It is the motherboard that determines the make and model of a PC OEM, NOT the case.
OEM motherboards contain BIOS custom, in this case HP. Installing OEM key code and recovery disks or partitions will work as long as the Windows installation find a BIOS from HP and the type of motherboard, Windows will validate and remain active.
When replacing the motherboard, for some reason, with a motherboard that does NOT have a custom BIOS HP, the computer is no longer a desktop HP ENVY h8-1419 PC.
If the 'new' motherboard first saw life in a DELL computer, it then becomes a DELL. It is not possible to use custom installation of another brand of OEM OEM.
If she started life in a box of motherboard manufacturer on the set of a major computer parts retailer, is no longer a desktop HP ENVY h8-1419 PC. It's everything that appears as the make and model in the box...
In the first case, you will need the COA, the key code sticker and the DELL machine DELL of origin if original installation media you want together upwards, the drivers and all.
Or, as in the second case, you will need either a retail key code or a code key of system manufacturer which must be purchased.
