Receiving A Notification That Windows Is Not Valid
Feb 16, 2013
I started getting a popup on my desktop yesterday saying my windows installation is invalid, with a link (which I have not clicked) to resolve the problem. I have not upgraded or replaced anything, the only oddity in the last few months is windows update would not install some patches, they successfully installed earlier this week.I purchased W7 x64 ultimate from the microsoft employee store in 2011, it is the version I am running. It was installed, registered, validated. When I checked on the microsoft site last night if it was valid, it forwarded me to a purchase windows page and wanted $199.99 for me to buy a license.

I don't remember the exact date, but before, whenever I startup my laptop, I always have the Dolby notification icon in the bottom right. But now, I don't know what I did, the notification icon never appears for Dolby. The settings for that icon is set to "Show" but whenever I click on it again, it says "This notification is currently not active" Eventhough, I'm pretty sure it's on.I tried reinstalling, but I keep getting error messages once it's reinstalled. So I have to use System Restore, and this has been driving me nuts...and this keeps going in circles.I think there is something wrong with the registry of this program.When I go to the program location, I have a Dolby Profile Selector, Dolby Profile Editor, and Dolby Profile Launcher...I am so confused now, as I always had the Notification Icon available.I can add Dolby to the Startup Folder, but when turning on the laptop, the entire Dolby profile pops up when Windows 7 boots, and that was not what happened before?

I have an odd problem with Windows Live Mail. As soon as I installed it, I unchecked the following options under Options -> General:Check for new messages every ... (30 minutes) and Send and receive messages at startup. So these options now DO NOT have the check mark next to them.Despite this, my Windows Live Mail checks for new email messages on all accounts (both for my ISP, my hosting as well as on Gmail accounts) every 30 minutes or perhaps every 1 hour and downloads any new email messages, even when I don't tell it to do so. I am not sure about the exact time period but it certainly checks for new emails even when I don't tell it to do so. If I leave the computer overnight I always find new emails downloaded by tomorrow morning.

Windows 7 comes with a Fax tool. Is it as good as the legendary WinFax Pro software that Symantec sold years ago?

I have recently bought a new pci wifi lan card (Ralink rt61 turbo) and have plugged in and installed drivers. Initially the drivers the company I bought it from told me to install didn't work, but after some googling found the correct drivers and downloaded from Ralinks website. However these didn't work either.
When using the Ralink wireless utility it says that the card is disconnected, however in device manage it is both connect and the correct drivers installed and everything is perfectly fine.
I ignored the wireless utility and hoped that windows 7 would still be able to use the wireless card as past experiences have shown to be true. This case however I get nothing. Windows 7 says that the wireless card is experiencing problems, it doesn't show any of the routers that should be shown.

I am attempting to test deploy a Windows 7 image to a VMusing VMware Workstation. I have Windows Server 2008 R2 installed as a DomainController with WDS. All network services, such as AD, DHCP and DNS have beeninstalled and configured as well. Both the install.wim and boot.wim files are stored on a separate drive (E)on theWDS server. My problem iswhen I try to PXE-boot the VM to send the image, I get the following error message: CLIENT MAC ADDRESS 00 0C 29 64 E4 5A GUID: 564D90FE-71D7-4F36-3893-38ACA864E45A PXE-E53: No boot filename received PXE-M0F: Exiting Intel PXE ROM. Operating System not found
A quick hunch would leave me to believe that both image files werent stored onthe server, but I double checked and both files were present. I have the network adapter on the serverconfigured with a static IP address (192.168.1.10), as well as DHCP configuredwith a 10 IP address range. (192.168.1.11-192.168.1.20). Ive heard that WDS shouldnt be on the same DC as DHCP and DNS. Does this really matter? Ive checked all of my configurations.

I've run into a problem that's preventing Windows 7 from loading normally. The problem starting happening yesterday, when my computer froze up while I was surfing AGV antivirusver since then, I cannot make it past the "Starting Windows" screen. Afterwards, instead of going to the "Loading" screen, my screen goes to blank.Since I could still bring up safe mode, I've tried the following things, with either no success, or Windows can't detect anything wrong:1. Performed a System Restore to a day earlier.2. Startup Repair didn't detect anything wrong.

I set up a new laptop with Windows Live Mail, while I'm still using a desktop machine with Windows XP. I am not getting in Windows Live Mail any emails from eBay which are coming to the desktop machine through Outlook Express. I have turned off all the spam filtering and put ebay.com as a safe domain from which to accept emails. How can I get these eBay notifications to my LiveMail account on the laptop?

I've run into a problem that's preventing Windows 7 from loading normally. I'm still able to bring up windows in safe mode perfectly fine. The problem starting happening yesterday, when my computer froze up while I was surfing GameFAQs, forcing me to perform a hard reset. Ever since then, I cannot make it past the "Starting Windows" screen. Afterwards, instead of going to the "Loading" screen, my screen goes to blank, with a message that it cannot detect an input and my pc just hangs there.Since I could still bring up safe mode, I've tried the following things, with either no success, or Windows can't detect anything wrong:
1. Performed a System Restore to a day earlier.
2. Startup Repair didn't detect anything wrong.
3. WIndows Memory Diagnostic didn't detect anything wrong.
4. Performed an Error Check on my hard drive with the built-in Windows tool with auto-repair on.
5. I rolled back my video card drivers (Nvidia GTX 460) to a previous version.

How to prevent my Windows Live Mail in which I have two email accounts, receiving triplicate e-mails. In particular from Geocaching. I get one in one account, but two in the other, thus three in a row in my inbox! Its most infuriating as I have to delete two each time.

I have two email accounts. One is MSN and the other is Verizon. I view both on emails on Windows Live Mail or on my MSN account. I get the emails OK, but on my Verizon emails I received the email messages on both my Verizon address and my MSN address. I do not want my Verizon emails to come to my MSN address. I am using Windows 7.

I recently set up Win Live Mail, after buildiing a new computer with Win 7 on it. I use Comcast as my mail client and with xp never had any issues. I set up Live w/ Comcast and all SEEMED well. Today I am away so I used my laptop to log into comcast.net and have 144 new messages, some dating back to two weeks ago. Some of these messages I have received in Live, read and deleted but most haven't made it to Live. Any ideas?

I have 5 computers connected to my router on a gigabit LAN. Two of the computers are WINDOWS 7 machines, one is a Windows Vista Ultimate machine and the other two are Linux. Everything works fine and always has worked fine until yesterday. On one of Windows 7 machines I can copy a very large file from the machine onto other machines and get 27 Mb/s transfer speed. On the other hand, transferring a file from any other machine (Windows 7, Vista, Linux) on to this "broken" computer I only get up to 10 Kb/s.
So, for example, transferring a 500 mb .avi file onto the broken machine will show as requiring 3 days to complete. Here is the perplexing thing... running Fedora 14 in a virtualbox (with a bridged network adapter) on this broken computer allows me to transfer a file onto this broken machine at normal speeds. So, the exact same 500 MB .avi file that Windows 7 says will take 3 days to transfer will completely transfer over the same network with the same hardware onto the same machine within seconds.
Also, this machine dual boots into Linux and everything works fine under Linux... I tried updating the driver with Hardware Manager in Windows 7... but it says that I already have the latest driver. I don't know where to start with troubleshooting this as it seems pretty obvious that it is something wrong at the level of Windows 7 on this machine and I do not have this problem at all on other machines.

So my friend just came over to my house today to use his fancy totally brand new MSI GE60 that he got from Newegg. This was the first time he was using his brand new laptop with a wireless network, and I need to specify that nobody else who has ever visited my house before has had problems with my Wireless network, including this very same friend, back when he was using his old laptop.So we tried re-entering the caps-sensitive 15-character-long password several times and we still managed to get the same problems--the computer constantly switches every 2-3 seconds between being disconnected, having limited access, and being connected to the router but still being unable to access the internet.
His installation of Windows came with a program made by Intel, the guys who make his wireless card, that allowed him to run diagnostics, and it claimed that his ipv6 was not receiving an IP address from my router. We've tried disabling and re-enabling his wireless adapter several times and we've tried restarting my house's router twice...everyone else in my house can connect totally fine, but he is still having these strange issues.So I downloaded Connectify and set up a network on my laptop and had him connect to it--and it worked just fine.Everything is set to DHCP and we even went through each and every single settings panel of all of MY laptop's wireless stuff and just copied it down onto his computer--it's just not working. We tried rolling back the drivers and disabling all of his firewalls/security applications, and it didn't work.

I have an Asus laptop with Windows 7 Home Premium. Last night it started having a problem where it cannot boot and gives the following error on a blue screen:"STOP: c0000135 The program can't start because %hs is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem."I've found some threads linking this error to AVG, so I've already followed these directions:url...However, I'm still unable to start the computer without receiving this error.The computer has also attempted to run "Startup Repair" but it just says it "cannot repair this computer automatically."

I have a toshiba hard drive in my laptop that Windows 7 says "Windows detected a hard disk problem." I've backed up my personal files, and now I'm trying to figure out if it can be repaired or if I'm going to have to buy a new hard drive. I tried to run the Toshiba hard drive diagnostic, but the tool isn't allowing me to select my drive and can't run without being able to do that, even though it is my only hard drive. I've checked for viruses and malware, and it says there are none. I've defraged as well

This problem just started today and I am a bit confused when I try to get my email on WLM I get the above error. I am going through my ISP and using POP3 the POP setting is pop.midstatesd.net and smtp.midstatesd.net all of the setting are correct so not sure why I am getting the error. I should mention that I am connecting using a laptop with a Dlink router and do not have any issues connecting to the internet. I am unable to ping the pop.midstatesd.net so figured something was set wrong on the router but cannot find any thing that would be blocking it there.
