How to know the serial number of my windows 8?
I installed Windows 8.1 this weekend and when I insert a music CD Windows 8.1 freezes. It is not instant, it takes a few minutes before it freezes. There are no blue screens or crashdumps or anything useful. Windows simply stops responding and I have to power cycle my PC. The only entry in the Windows log is a kernel power event complaining about an unexpected shutdown.

I can send a video of it, but I wanted to change it to Windows 7, installed on my computer that I was used to. So, I made a backup of my Windows 7 and tried to install it on my notebook.
Unfortunately, I deleted all from the notebook and forgot to take the serial key or to change my partition table from GPT to MBR, so I can't install Windows 7.
I only want to recover my Windows 8 serial key, so I can re-install it , change the partition table to MEG and install Windows 7!
Sometimes when I insert a blank DVD into my optical drive, Windows Explorer does not show that the disc is present in the drive. If I then double-click on the icon for the optical drive, Windows Explorer hangs. When it restarts, all I get is a completely blank desktop and a taskbar that has no icons on it. If I try and shut the computer down via Ctrl/Alt/Del and using the shutdown option there, it just stays on the shutting down screen forever and all I can do is hit the reset button. No errors are logged in Event Viewer, so I am having a hard time diagnosing the cause.
This happens maybe 50% of the time when I insert a blank disc. The other 50% of the time it works fine.
I have all the latest drivers/Windows Updates installed. I have tried 2 different burners and it happens with both of them. Do you think this could possibly be motherboard related? I bought a new board a couple of weeks ago and did a completely fresh install of Windows 8 and it's been happening since then.
Bought a Sony Vaio Pro 13 and as per usual with all my new laptops, a fresh install is done.
So on i went armed with my USB with Windows 8 created from an iso file from the microsoft site (i have msdn access).
The iso is a "multiple version" iso which has Windows 8 and Windows 8 Pro (en-gb_windows_8_x64_dvd_915412.iso)
Normally i would expect at the end of the install for the screen to allow me to enter my serial which in turn actives/deactivates features but for some reason, it has not this time round.
instead, the properties of my computer suggest a serial has already been entered "Current product key" *****-66ABC
Now i know i can "add features" and enter the serial that way but my question is, where is it picking the old serial from? i can only guess that the old serial is the one the laptop came with which is Windows 8 and not Windows 8 Pro.
The install was normal in terms of removing all partitions ( left the windows re and the sony recovery) so is it picking it up from there somehow?
Inserting a CD or DVD (especially a blank rewritable) occasionally causes PC lock up/freeze. No cursor, no nothing; reboot required. No error message. No event error. ASUS P8P67le, I7-2600K
Thrice, in the past two days, a freeze occurred simply while idling. This is a new development. No optical drives in use. To my knowledge, no new software, hardware or drivers have been installed, but for routine Windows Updates.
I have flashed the (old 2011) BIOS with the latest. ASUS does state that later versions incorporated stability improvements for Windows 8. Time will tell.
Microsoft Word 2010.What I wish to do is that in my job I sometimes have like 30 or less contacts at one time I need to make shipping labels for for customer surveys. My question is how can I insert these addresses from outlook automatically WHILE SHOWING THE COMPANY NAME. I know there is a address book/insert address feature in word. I can use that just fine however, it lacks the capability to show the company name from outlook at the same time when you insert it.

It started yesterday. When I got a Flash disk from my friend the computer displayed blue screen when I inserted it into a USB port. After the reboot the situation reoccured but then without the presence of the USB.
Later it happened when I used my own Flash disk. And yet another time when I wasn't doing anything at all, just browsing the internet with Firefox.
I tried inserting the USB a few times later, but it worked. I've run memtest around 10 times and there were no errors. I also tried IntelBurnTest and it completed successfully.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI just wanted to know the build number of Windows 8 Retail. I mean the one that released Oct 26th.
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindows NTCurrentVersion"
I used to have Vista, when I had multiple windows open in an application (and they were combined in the taskbar) the number of windows used to be displayed next to the icon. Now I have Windows 8.1, this feature seems to have disappeared and the only way I can see how many windows are open is to manually count them one-by-one. The only difference when the application combines the windows is that is looks to have 3 windows combined on the right hand side of the application in the taskbar.
Is there any way to get this number back? I think this feature may have been removed from 8.1, but if it has is there a workaround?
Any method to remove "Activate Windows" and "Build Number" watermarks from 8.1 Ent. ?

When I try to type the number 0 in the number keyboard, I get a pop-up saying cut, paste, etc. This happens in both my word processing program (WordPerfect) and also when I'm trying to type an e-mail. All other numbers are OK. I am able to type the number 0 when I use the regular keyboard.

Is there any easy way of doing this without having to change each file name individually.
I want to make keyboard symbols, specifically the Spanish inverted exclamation point and other special characters.

I realise that I can obviate scrolling by reducing the zoom from 100% to 75% but I don't find that very comfortable, the text size is then too small for my liking.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have 2 Microsoft accounts. I have enabled 2 step verification for both of them. With one account, I was able to enter my cell phone number to complete the process, so I would receive a text message if a device I haven't set to trusted tries to log in to that account. I tried the same process on the second account, and whenever I try to enter the same cell phone number, I get an error page that the service is 'temporarily unavailable'. I have tried every combination of entering the cell phone number that I can think of, and nothing works for that second account.
With the first account, I was using the Opera browser to enter the information. With the second account, I was using IE 10. With the second account, I get an e-mail with a verification code if an untrusted device tries to log in. This is OK, but I would prefer to receive a text to my cell phone instead, as I do not always have such instant access to my e-mail account.
Or can you not use the same cell phone number for 2 accounts?
Edited to add: This is the exact message I get when I try to have MS send a code to my cell phone:
There's a temporary problem with the service. Please try again. If you continue to get this message, try again later.
I've been doing some research online this evening, doing a search with that message. It looks like this is pretty hopeless. Once people see this message in relation to any MS services, there seems to be no solution for it. I guess I should just be grateful that I at least haven't been locked out of my Windows Live account entirely, since Windows 8 is so tied to being able to connect to one's Microsoft account. Of course, the account I use for my throw-away Hotmail account works just fine.
The format I've used for the phone number is (XXX) XXX-XXXX . I've tried variations of that with brackets, spaces, and hyphens, nothing works, but at least e-mail verification still does.

Have a question regarding "Local Account". I'm having problems connecting to the Win 8 laptop from Win 7 as it will not accept my sign in credentials. With that, am I to assume that this is because the credential aren't "Local", and thus this is what this is for???
It will not accept the "Microsoft" account I use to log into Win 8 laptop.
With that, if I choose to go with the "local account" can I easily switch back to the Microsoft one?
