Why isn't Mojang registering my Minecraft account?
by Guest MickyFoss- 0 replies
- 167 views
Can someone please explain why I can play Minecraft (which I purchased via Microsoft store) fine, but when I try logging in with my account through Mojang, it says I don't own the game? Is this because Mojang accounts are migrating to Microsoft accounts, or is it some glitch/bug that will ultimately force me to purchase the game all over again (through Mojang this time)?

Internet connectivity dropouts

For the past several weeks, my internet has been dropping out every few minutes. Only my laptop is having these issues; no other phones or computers are experiencing the network issues. When it cuts out, I see a host of 4004 events in event viewer, but not much else. The Windows Network Diagnostics troubleshooter gives the same problem whether or not the internet connectivity has dropped out: "Windows could not automatically detect this network's proxy settings" I have tried the following solutions without any luck: 1. flushing the dns with ipconfig 2. resetting windows sockets and tcp/ip settings with netsh 3. Verifying that I don't have any pro…

Installing a game with multiple discs on laptop (Windows 8)
by Guest MariaPickering- 0 replies
- 199 views
Hi, I'm currently using a Toshiba laptop running Windows 8. When I try to install an older PC game that uses four discs to install, I run into an interesting issue. I can insert the first disc into the dvd/cd drive and it will open up and I click to give permission to run and installation begins. When it hits 25% installed it asks for the second disc. Naturally, this being a laptop only has one disc drive. So I remove disc 1 and insert disc 2. For some reason it does not get read properly and installation does not continue. If I try to open the disc drive location and click on the setup/exe file on disc 2 it thinks I'm trying to start installation over. …

Hi, my HP laptop running Windows 8 suddenly stopped finding available networks leaving me very confused. Since the first instance it detected networks twice, connected to the appropriate network yet was unable to access the internet. The solution I am needing is to make my laptop detect networks, connect to the appropriate network and access the internet via this connection. My laptop is currently without internet so I have been cautious to make changes concerning network adaptor drivers as I won't be able to scan for new drivers or download any. Any help and suggestions will be greatly appreciated! This is causing multiple problems for myself at this st…

Hi, wondering if anyone can help me please. Trying to get into my laptop, hit with the usual sign in stuff and am met with "we can't sign you in to your device right now. Go to account.live.com to fix the problem or try the last password you used on this device." Both the last password and the new password I changed it to come up with the same message. When I've checked my account through my phone it says my device isn't registered, but the problem is I can't get into my laptop to register it. I recently had to change the battery for my laptop and had to purchase the Microsoft package as my student one ran out, so I'm wondering if that's what's caused all …
