Windows 8 Store Won't Open

Okay, I've had this issue since I upgraded to W8 from 7 a couple months ago, and I've been getting by basically using 8 like 7 with an extra UI that doesn't work, but I thought I would post here to see if someone could help me figure this out. Like the
title says, my windows 8 store app will not open. It reacts when I click it, but then doesn't do anything. Whenever I try to launch it, the event viewer shows an error &quotActivation of the app winstore_cw5n1h2txyewy!Windows.Store for the Windows.Launch
contract was blocked because of a temporary issue with its license. Try launching the app again in a moment.&quot Also, I seem to be missing the other Windows 8 apps (News, Mail, etc.) that I think are supposed to be installed on all systems by default. This
is the only windows 8 computer I have worked with, so I'm not sure whether or not that's the case. I am also part of a domain (through my university), which I have seen might cause some issues sometimes. I have tried basically anything I have found in other's
posts with the same issue, but as of yet, I haven't found anything that works. ([URL="Here is a link to the
thread I made a while ago on the MS community answers site, but it's basically 7 pages of tips that didn't work.) I don't know what other information I should provide that would be helpful in diagnosing this problem, but I'll be quick in replying if you ask.
Thanks for any help!
