Hi I have an 8 year old PC and had WIndows 8.1 installed. The hard drive was having problems so I reinstalled Windows 8 from the original disk I have and it reinstalled- then the hard drive died after I activated windows. I installed a new hard drive today- and when I tried to reinstall Windows 8 again it said I had already activated it on another computer. That's not true. I did activate it on my PC but then the hard drive failed and I installed a new drive and tried to activate it and now it will not. Help!!! Thank You Continue reading...

File History Error
by Guest johndgorman1- 0 replies
- 188 views
I'm doing this because I'm very desperate. I had to reformat my File History drive. Since then I've gotten the indication that F.H. doesn't recognize the drive due to "unknown error". I've finally got it narrowed down to error 80040301. I then turned to asking of Microsoft to help pertaining this error and was directed that some (most) cases were 'locked'. Now what to do? Windows 8.1 (up to date), running on NIXSYS (don't laugh) NX-P61 [intel Core i7-3770 3.40GHz Quad Core 5.0GT/s] /w 8Gb memory. Continue reading...

I HAVE AND Lenovo computer that came with Windows 8 and a virus took over the computer. Had to remove many of my files to get rid of the virus and now trying to get things back up and running. Windows 8 was taken from the special place on the hard drive to get windows back on the computer. Do not know if it was Windows8 or 8.1. I have tried 2 times to down load Windows 8.1 and both did not work. My computer states it is using windows 8.1. Is there a way to get a CD with Windows 8.1 as I was using a down load. Another problem is I am being told by the computer that my browser is old and needs to be replaced and I think I am using Internet browser 10. If I am using internet…

Please help. I have an Acer desktop computer on which I am running Windows 8 or 8.1 (can't remember). I had the computer on but inactive for a couple of hours and when I returned the screen was black. Normally, it turns on again if I press the mouse key or enter, but now the computer starts up again but the screen stays black. I've disconnected the screen and tried it connected to another computer and it works. It just doesn't get any signal from my desktop. I've tried to shutdown the computer hard by pressing the start button for a long time. The computer stops but when I restart the computer goes back to the same mode, being on but no signal to the screen, whi…
