Windows installation was not successful. Your previous version of Windows is being restored. Do not restart your computer during this time. I have a small Toshiba laptop which has installed Windows 7. I uninstalled my Norton (that I was instructed to do so by a friend); tried to reinstall Windows 8; and got the same message. Any suggestions?
Hi Dreah117,
Thanks for choosing Windows 8!
I understand that you get this error trying to upgrade to Windows 8. Its good that
you have removed your anti-virus software are there is a possiblity of it
causing problems with installation
I have a few questions about your system
1. what operating system (OS) you upgrade?
2 what is a 32 or 64 bit OS?
3. you try to install a 32-bit or 64-bit of Windows 8?
You can try these methods to see if it solves the problem
Method 1:
Run the upgrade wizard and check to see if your system is compliant with the minimum requuirements.

Method 2:
Disable or uninstall a software such as CD/DVD burning utility or third-party disk utility to defragment programs such as perfect disk / Daemon Tools
(a) in the notification area, next to the time looking for icons of software disk utility
(b) pass the mouse over it to check the name
(c) right-click on the icon and select "Exit/Disable" or a similar option.
Method 3:
Make sure your computer is updated through Windows Update.

I'm unable to install the Windows 7 SP1 on my laptop. I am running Win 7 64 bit and tried to install the 64-bit SP1 via the feature updates automatic first, then with the SP1 download manually (Windows6. 1 - KB976932 - X 64 .exe). The progresses to install SP1 to the point where it shuts down the system and it is charging but when I log in I get the dialog Setup SP1 reporting "the Installation was not successful". By clicking on the link error display shows DS_S_SUCCESS (0x0).
(I followed the steps of troubleshooting 1) by using the Troubleshoot Utility "Difficulty of problems with Windows Update" and 2) installed tool Rediness of updating system, but the installation of SP1 still fails with the same error.
I have successfully applied the SP1 on a different system. No idea why I have problems with my laptop.
Any ideas?
C thx.
Have you checked your hard drive to find errors? Another obscure, you might try is to disable User Account Control temporarily.
Its possible, you need to perform an update of the BIOS if one is available for your ThinkPad T60p. Also, check the updated chipset drivers.
Furthermore, disconnect any non-essential device, you may have attached to the system.
Its possible the SP1 download may be corrupted, I would like to download another copy and try again.

Original title: frustrating popup.
Help! I get the following popup:
A website wants to open web content using this program on your computer. This program does not have a valid signature that verifies its publisher
C:|Windows/System32\Macromed\Flash/FlashUtil_ActiveX.exe
Why I get this and how can I get rid of him? It won't go away if I answered 'yes' or 'no' it just keeps popping up.
Windows 8 is built with Adobe Flash Player. If you have problems to view Flash content online, run Windows Update and check if there are updates available for Flash.
You can also try the following:
Click Start, type: Internet Options
Press enter
Select the "Advanced" tab
Under reset Internet Explorer settings, click "reset".
This should restore the Internet Explorer default settings.
Or try another browser like Google Chrome.

I needed a previous version to recover a video. to do some of my images did not return. I put in my backup CDs, he had the previose photos to the backup drive. Now I need to retrieve other images, but don't know how.
Apparently you restore a complete backup image of your

It was common at the time, that the image was created.Unless you have your lost photos archived elsewhere...
they are likely more unrecoverable. Is it possible
that the files are still on your camera memory card?If the photos have been removed fom the memory card...
the following freeware may be able to retrieve them:(FWIW... it's always a good idea to create a system)

OT: Windows Update failure 8.
I recently re-installed Windows 8 using an old product key once I updated my PC using Windows 7 due to failure to boot Windows Technical Preview. The installation went smoothly, but when installation is finished, he told me that I had installed updates, for the most updated security. I installed them and restarting my PC, he has said configuration Windows Updates... Do not turn off your computer. It is immediately followed by updates default Windows configuration . Restoration of the changes. Do not turn off your computer. It accomplishes this task for like 10-15 minutes and then finally starts. Once my PC starts, this cycle starts again. So far, happened 4 times.
Could someone please fix this? I want to update to Windows 8.1, but could end up, I'm stuck with Windows 8. (Also, why download from the store disappeared? "I'm not using a RT system).
Thank you!
