    I have Windows 7, I bought with an Advent Roma 3000 laptop from PC World over 2 years ago.  For more than 6 months now, I get a message that my Windows is not genuine and there is a message in bottom right of the screen "Windows 7 Build 7600, this copy of Windows is not genuine."  IT IS!  I've been to PC World, which just re-installed Windows 7 and said if it happens again I had to do it myself.  I've done 4 times and each time after about a week, it happens again. I bought it in good faith.  Obviously a MS update changes the status of Windows.  I've had enough, and if I can't sort I will soon buy a new machine, which will be an Apple because MS doesn't give a sh * t.  I tried to contact them, nothing works!

  • Windows 7 asks Me to format the Seagate FreeAgent external hard drive I've used for more than a month

    I used Seagate FreeAgent as my external hard drive for more than a month now, but recently I am unable to access Windows 7 asks me to format it to use it. Somehow I can format the HDD without losing my data?  Or does perform a work around?

    Hi NuVille,

    Before perform us any of the steps, first of all I suggest you to create a backup of the data stored in your external hard drive on another computer.

    To save the data, you can connect your external hard drive on another computer and copy all the files and folders on the other computer. Later, you can connect the external drive to the Windows 7 computer and try to run the disk error checking and check if that helps you solve the problem.

    Access the link below and follow the steps to check the drive for errors and fix it.
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/check-a-drive-for-errors

    After completing the disc you error checking, try to check if you can access the drive.

    If the steps above do not I suggest you try to format the hard drive. Access the link below and follow the steps to format the hard drive.
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/create-and-format-a-hard-disk-partition

    Note: there is no way to format without losing any data on the disk. Formatting the drive will erase all data.  This is why you must back up the data before formatting the hard drive.

    I hope this helps. Let us know the results.

  • I have problems with the installer of Windows and Windows Update, and the solutions that I found for the two each rely on the other broken system to fix the first.

    I use a laptop HP Pavilion dv4-1220us with Windows Vista Home Premium Service Pack 1, a 64-bit operating system, and I have problems with Windows Update and Windows Installer. When I try to install programs, I get the following, or substantially similar message without the error code:

    "Error 1719. The Windows Installer Service could not be accessed. This can occur if Windows Installer is not installed properly. Contact your support team. »

    So I tried to download Windows Installer 4.5 and install it. When I try to start the installation, it always hangs on the first step, "Initializing Installation."

    After searching for a solution to this problem, I found that Windows Update may have a solution. So I downloaded the 64 bit version and got a file named 'file Windows6. 0-KB942288-v2 - x 64. I tried to run this file. He opened a box that said, in order "Prepare for Installation", "Full Preparation", and finally "Searching for Updates ', before you open a second box, which reads" click OK to install the following Windows software update: fix for Windows (KB942288). I clicked on OK in this box, which opened another box, which says at the top "updates are installed" and in a smaller section, "initializing for Installation................... »

    However, no matter how long it works, it never gets past "Setup initialization."... »

    So I tried to run Windows Update in Control Panel. He ran for a while, before giving a message saying "to check the updates, you must first install an update for Windows Update." I clicked on the button that says "install now". He has flashed, a moment, "download and installation of updates' before you go to the"check for Updates"and then he brought back the exact same upward ' to check updates, you must first install an update for Windows Update" message as before. I clicked install now once again, only to go into the exact same loop. After about four times in a loop, I gave up on it.

    So I tried to install Windows Installer 3.1v2, which took a while before saying "not enough memory is available to process this command." and the abandonment of the installation.

    So, I tried to download a program from 'Mr. Fix - it' of Microsoft. It downloaded fine and then failed on installation, because of the same Setup error I received initially.

    Finally, I tried to restart my computer and each solution is represented. Then I clean my computer and each solution is represented.

    In conclusion, the mistakes that I have in Windows Update and Windows Installer cordoned off each other, as the mistakes of each program are based on the other program to be repaired. I'm at my wit's end here. My computer works fine without one, except that I can't install new programs. I can access the internet fine, access files fine, all my scans have developed own... I don't really know what is happening. Can someone help me with this?

    c. under Selective startup, clear the check box load startup items.
