I am having a horrible time getting Office 365 installed on my PC. Keeps giving the general message, that I need a modern OS. Well, I do. I am running Windows 8 with Media Center. I have tried all of the compatibility ideas. I have went through the reg file and cleared out any mention of office15. I have clean booted and tried to install. I have searched and searched the web. I see lots of people with this issue, but no solutions. I have also tried saving the file to the desktop and running it, as some have had success. I have not. Any help... View this thread

Hi All, I have a Windows 7 Lenovo IdeaPad Z570. It has been in perfect working order until it did a Windows Update when I shut it down. After it completed and I turned it back on, it only manages to get to the Windows 7 logo bit at the beginning of the reboot before the screen turns blue and the computer cuts off and restarts. I takes me to Windows Recovery. The Start Up Repair won't work and the System Restore keeps failing. I need help as I do not know what to do to get it working and starting up! :S Thanks JG View the thread

Windows update installed this update kb2823324 on patch Tuesday and I have no problems. The latest bulletin I received from Microsoft said to uninstall it, I did and there was no difference so I reinstalled it and nothing bad has been going on. Will it hurt anything to leave it installed? View the thread

Over the last couple of months, I've been encountering the BSOD , BUGCODE_USB_DRIVER, STOP: 0x000000FE......Event 41. I have an HP Pavilion p6510f Home Premium desktop with Windows 7, 64 bit. It is now out of warranty. I've been able to restore things using the repair disc I made when I first got the machine.( I also made the three recovery discs.) This last time, however, I'm unable to even start the computer. It is getting power, & when I press the power button, I can hear the fans & the hard drive spinning, but it doesn't boot into anything. I've run scandisk & chkdsk after each episode. The last time I ran dskrsk, I got the message when finished, that the "volume is clean." In Event Viewer, there is a report of 2 error events, Source: NTFS , Event ID: 55, Log Name:System, that says "The file system structure is corrupt and unusable. Please run the chkdsk utility on the OS."I did run the utility & got the message mentioned; that the volume is clear. I can't send anything as I'm using a different PC, & cannot get the PC in question to start. Please, ....any suggestions? View the thread

Have downloaded and run the Tdsskiller (found no infections), and Malwarebytes (found 10 infections). and kept the programs and logs on my desktop. I am sorry I did not realize that I should have my own thread about this, since my error message was the same as the others. I ran the Tdsskiller and the Malwarebytes again today and there were no infections. Prior to this I could not start or run my Microsoft Windows Essential, which I have now uninstalled from my laptop. It would not update and I could not see my FireWall settings. I would like to continue to resolve my issues so that I can keep my laptop at least until Xp is no longer supported. Could someone be kind enough to tell me what to do next and how to continue with the fixits... thanks so much for your time and help!!! View this thread

I still get important security update KB2823324, I understand it was supposed to be removed from the MS updates. I removed it from my computer, but it just keeps coming back. View the thread

I use Windows 7 on an iMac 21 machine. I use an Apple "Bootcamp" software program, dividing the 500 GB HD between the OSX and Windows 7 OSS. I want to edit/purge my software programs and applications, so I go to Windows Programs and therein lies the problem I have. If I have down- loaded the program and I do not have the CD Rom installation disk, I cannot determine from the Windows Program List just what the programs are for from the icons and minimal description provided by the Windows Program List. I cannot remember what it is some of them do, but God only knows my computer sure does, and if I delete something I should not delete, I will have a sick computer or worse! All I get are, for the most part are ". . . do you want to uninstall this program?" Well of course I don't not without knowing what the heck I am about to do to mycomputer. The program, file name, extensions and icons are really confusing and for a layman, totally incomprehensible. It seems the Developersof the programs do business using trade or brand names which have little if anything to do with either the function or purpose of the programs. Windows updates are not the worst but they are high on the list. I faithfully and automatically download all Windows updates. Why. as Mickey would say? I have no idea, but I trust MS (usually) to do the right thing by me and not screw up my Windows 7 OS. Do I have to download every- thing that comes my way? Probably not, but If it comes from MS or the big guys, I trust them, MS and Adobe, Corel, etc,, enough to update, butif I want to stream line my programs and get rid of chaff and keep only the wheat, I need to know what I have gotten, gratis or paid for over the years.Suggestions are hopefully solicited, and will be carefully read, even followed, if you keep it simple. Thank you! View the thread
