Windows 8.0 and Windows 10 technical review installation issues and activation message keeps poping up?

My Dell Inspiron E1705 had Windows Vista and I could not install the Windows 10 technical review, so I installed my Windows 8.0 and then I could install the Win10 tech review.So I'm reviewing the Win10 and now I keep getting a pop up screen with Windows
asking to activate so to get ride of the messages popping up every boot up. I am attempting to activate but when I follow the instructions to activate entering the product key from the Windows 8.0 fails. I next select call and provide your installation ID,
this process is you call in and an automated prompt ask for your installation ID, then it gives you some numbers to enter in groups A thru H, but my screen only shows A thru G? My concern is that if I don't activate this windows it will stop and thus
no review of Win10.
Should I be concerned is activation necessary, Do I re-install Win10 and start over, I feel that I may have inadvertently caused the problem when I did the initial installation it ask if I wanted to keep information from the previous installed Windows 8
or install clean? If I don't get any other options/solutions I may just do a clean install?
Thanks in advance for your support.
/Joe

Hi Joe,
So the situation here is you upgrade Windows 8 to Windows 10, and Windows 10 can't be activated?
There is no need to activate Windows 10 in the Technical Preview period, and if you have issue activating Windows, you may try to run:
1. Open Administrative command prompt (Windows key+x > A)
2. Type: SLUI 3
3. Enter the product key listed on the download site.
And if you still get the activation issue, please contact Microsoft local license support team for further assistance.

Problems installing windows on a clean Mac Pro internal drive - issues and questions

Hey,
I have a Mac Pro mid 2010 with the following drive configurations:
3x120GB SSD in a RAID-0 as Boot (OS X 10.8.6) and SSD Scratch (working files)
3x4TB HDD in a RAID-0 as Master (data) and HDD Scratch (downloads)
1x100GB SSD (Spare...to install windows on)
I have literally tried every possible way of installing Windows 8 on that single SSD...both using bootcamp and without.
I can get it installed and working, install all the drivers/updates/software...involving multiple reboots into windows. Everything seems fine, and i shut down and boot into OS X, which works perfectly as expected. BUT, when i try and boot into Windows again (using <option> key at startupand selecting the windows volume, called "EFI Boot" which i did not name) I can log in and start using apps and then 20-40 seconds later i get the BSOD.
I can't for the life of me figure out why.
It's the easiest thing in the world to partition a single OSX drive to boot windows ON THE SAME DRIVE, but i can't seem to boot stably into a standaloe internal drive.
NOTE: I prepare the Windows drive by formatting the entire thing to "Free Space" using disk utility in Mac OS X, and can see that there are no partitions (EFI or otherwise) on the drive. Then I pull all the other drives except the target drive, reboot with a Windows 8 USB drive (created by BootCamp Assistant on my macbook air, because apparently some genius thought that task was too complicated for a Mac Pro...jks) and install from there. The funny part is that i can pick out the target drive in the windows setup, it's registering as 1 disk/partition of UNALLOCATED SPACE, as expected, but there is a warming that windows cannot be installed on this drive because my computer does not support booting to this disk, and that i should check that it's controller is enabled in the BIOS.....which to the best of my knowledge is not used by intel-macs, which use UEFI. But i can still click "Next", so I do and install Windows and boot to this drive, restarting and installing software updates and drivers as mentioned above.
The BSOD seems to pop up only after i've rebooted to Mac OS X and then try to go BACK to Windows 8.
The version of windows 8 and install USB were checked using my macbook air, and they work flawlessly. ASLO that warning about not being able to boot to the drive during windows setup isn't present.
I'm wondering if the fact the the RAID volumes are a software RAID, using Disk Utility in OSX is causing windows some issues...which makes no sense.
I'll keep playing, but I'm not confident I'm ever going to find a solution.
Somebody be my hero...

Hey Hatter,
Another question for you:
I can't seem to use system preferences>>startup disk to boot into windows. When I select windows and then restart i get a black "BIOS-like" screen which then cuts out and a message is displayed that says "there is no bootable disc"
This stumped me, because I know i can boot into windows from the boot screen (holding down option and selecting "EFI Boot" which apparently is what my windows drive is called.
because of my Mac OSX Raid arrays, i had to install windows by formatting a drive to HFS+ (GUID) pratition table, then repartition to "Free Space" then using an install usb that i made with my macbook air, pull all my other drives and install by selecting the usb drive to boot from.
I went into disk utility to see if I can repair the disk, and disk utility says that the disk has to EFI partition and that we won;t be able to boot from it....which is very confusing because i can boot from it.
Windows 8 apparentl;y uses UEFI from my research....so i'm utterly stumped.
I beleive this is also the cause of my newly purchased graphics card Mac Edition HD 7950, throwing me a BSOD when i select to boot in windows from the boot menu...
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Technical content Installation Issue

Hi Gurus,
I am installing Technical content in our development box. I have one thing to be clarified before I go further with the installation job. I have got lots of infoobjects installed in our server eg., 0CALDAY which are again part of the technical content too. I have got some routines working on these infoobjects for some other purpose. If I install the 0CALDAY once again by selecting the Grouping option "data flow before and after" what would be the circuumstances. My question is do I need to do any sort of modifications to the objects where my 0CALDAY is refreenced after activating the Technical Content.
Kindly clarify.
Regards
Visweswara

You shouldn't need to reinstall these objects. You can either uncheck the Install box, or check the Match box and when you install it will stop at these objects, show you the difference, and allow you to take the new version or keep the old version.
Take care not to install in background, because this will automatically overwrite everything you have collected with the new versions, even if you uncheck the Install box.

Student and teacher design standard installation issues for photoshop

I recently purchased a STUDENT AND TEACHER LICENSING package: ADOBE CREATIVE SUITE 5.5 DESIGN STANDARD. I installed everything and everything opens and works except Photoshop. When I try to open it it says, "Some of the application cxomponents are missing from the Application directory, please reinstall the application."
I have reinstalled it twice now but there is no change. Why is this happening? How can I fix it? I just paid ~250 and I need Photoshop. Illustrator and InDesign are working just fine. Please help.
Thanks,
Susan

You have permission issues on some of the plug-ins and the system libraries they are calling. A classic. Check file permissions on your plug-ins folder, especially on the performance extension (MMX plug-in and that)...

BPEL Installation Issues and Eclipse Plugin Issue

I'm trying to evaluate BPEL and encountered the following issues:
(1) Installation of patch 4343748:
MISSING_COMPONENT : oracle.j2ee, 10.1.2.0.0
This Oracle Home does not have components/versions required by the patch.
ERROR: OPatch failed during pre-reqs check.
OPatch returns with error code = 150
The other 2 patches installed fine.
Is there a required order for installing the patches. The information that I found is a bit spotty on that.
(2) The Eclipse Plugin also doesn't work properly. The following stack trace is reported back, when trying to open a .bpel file:

I'm still hoping to find an answer on why the Eclipse BPEL Designer does not work for me. I can generate a BPEL project but the visual BPEL Editor will just not open up. Any clues on what I should be looking at would be very appreciated.
Here is the exact Eclipse version that I'm using:
Version: 3.1.0
Build id: I20050627-1435
And another stack trace that is seen in the Eclipse error log:

Ios 5.1.1 Installation issues and known bugs

Hi All,
I am planning to upgrade from ios 5.0 to 5.1.1 on my iPhone 4 handset. I am sure most of you would have already installed ios 5.1.1. Before I install this new OS I would like to know known issues for ios 5.1.1;
1. Installation problems
2. Post-Installation problems / Bugs
As I had encountered catastrophic problems while upgrading from ios 4 to 5.0, I don't want to fall in the bug trap again.
If someone could throw light on these 2 topics along with solutions that would help most of the people who would be reading this discussion message in the future.
Thank you for your understanding

A restore did not work to fix the issue. The behavior acts like some sort of memory leak issue. The phone app gets slow, and hangs, the phone gets all out of joint, and sometimes reboots. I wish i could go back to the previous point release I had no issues with it. Anyway back to the behavior. I noticed when I make a call sometimes the speaker is highlighted, if that happens, I know the call will go through but no one will be able to hear me. If I play with the speaker key, and the mute key it eventually will work, or reboot the phone.
I really wish APPLE WOULD FIX THE ISSUE!! I hope the error is captured in the error logs that get sent to apple.
I also have noticed that when the phone is in working condition, and i open a few apps like facebook or twitter, and then go make a call, sometimes it wont work, the call goes through but no one can hear me. A hard reboot of the phone at that point fixes the issue

I seem to be having a problem with all mozilla products crashing i.e Thunderbird, Seamonkey,and Firefox what is the issue, and how do I fix it?

I have updated all products, uninstalled and reinstalled ,ran virus scans, changed the compatibility its running on (from windows 7 to XP), disabled all plugins, and I am still encountering the same issue of all my mozilla installs crashing repeatedly. No pattern with the crashes its doing it randomly but frequently.

HT201304 What happens if you are disputing an in-app purchase with a vendor that is in CHina and is not understanding your issue and refuses to add the disputed purchase or refund the purchase?

I made an in app purchase and the game (Happy Farm) crashed but I completed the purchase on my iPad's Home screen because the Confirm purchase window popped up before I could relaunch the game. When I launched the game the purchase (which was Gems) was not showing so I took a screen shot of the game window showing 211 diamonds, which was the amount I started with, (the purchase was for 258 gems so my total should be 499). I then took a screenshot of myhome screen showing the time of day. I went back to the game repurchased the same amount, the app did not crash this time and I was credited with correct about of gems 211 +258 = 499... Took a snapshot of that screen. went back to my home screen and took a screen shot to show the time again. Well after sending Happy Farm all of this evidence, they responded that they gave me all the gems and I just used them all. I don't believe that they understand that my app crashed and during the 1st transaction and I clicked the Buy button (in the Confirm purchase window) on my Home screen not in the App, got charged but did NOT recieve the gems when I relaunched the app. I have more proof than most people and they are still calling me a liar... I need intervention from iTunes App store and I don't know how to get them to mediate this dispute. Do you know how I can get in touch with the App store?

HT5957 Just downloaded iOS 7.0.2 and I'm now experiencing issues receiving text messages. In particular, replies to my text messages. Any ideas on a fix? Thanks in advance...

Downloaded iSO 7.0.2 and now I'm not receiving replies to my text messages. I've tested it with someone standing next to me, their phone shows their reply sent and my phone gets nothing. Does anyone know what I can do to fix this? Thanks in advance

Try the following:
Go to Settings > Messages > iMessages > disable
Go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
let it do it's thing and reset.
Then go to Settings > Messages > iMessages > enable
You'll then have to go back to your Wifi and re-enter your router credentials.

Photosmart printer -all-in-one 5520 and windows 8.1 - INSTALLATION ERROR

I have a photosmart printer - model: all-in-one 5520; code number HPC57CC4 and my operating system is windows 8.1.
I had problems with the scan function and so I decided to disinstal the printer (from the Control Panel) and I even cancelled the HP folders.
Then I tried to reinstal the printer with the original CD but I got the message: INSTALLATION ERROR - DRIVER PACKAGE INSTALL GIVES THE ERROR -536870329 FOR THE PACKAGE C:\Program Files\HP\HP Photosmart 5520 series\DriverStore\Pipeline\hpvpl09.inf (that's the translation from Italian)
I have tried endless times to install with the online software from the HP assistance (hppsdr.exe, hppiw.exe, ps5520_1315-1.exe, hpscan and doctor) but I always get the above error message, the system recognizes my printer, but gives the error message few seconds after starting installing it.
If i use the printer from other PCs it's ok, I've also tried both in the wireless modality and with the USB cable but the result is the same: no installation!
thanks in advance fot your help.

IPhone 5 iOS 6.1.4 and Windows 7 x64 USB Driver Issues

Been pulling my hair out with this one for the last week or so and haven't had any luck finding anything on the forums or the web regarding a solution short of a full reinstall of Windows 7 which I am not prepared to do at this time; so hoping someone here can shine some light on this for me
I have a iPhone 5 that is updated to iOS 6.1.4 and a recently built Windows 7 64-bit machine. All of my other USB devices function fine (keyboard, mouse, Xbox 360 wireless receiver for Windows, and a Seagate 2TB external USB drive). I've downloaded the most recent version of iTunes, installed successfully and then attempt to plug in my phone to sync. I get the standard Windows *ding* that I've attached a device and 1 of 2 things happens (I haven't been able to determine what causes one reaction to happen versus the other): Windows will successfully install the 'Apple USB Mobile Device Driver' successfully and it will appear under my USB devices in Device Manager. However - iTunes will not recognize the phone and I cannot see it in Windows either. In the 'Devices and Printers' snap-in my iPhone will appear under 'Unspecified Devices' as the 'Apple USB Mobile Device'. The iTunes diagnostics fail to find a connected device so the tests fail. As soon as I unplug the device, the strangest thing happens: Windows will start trying to install a device driver and after a few seconds it will fail stating that the "MTP Device Driver" installation failed because the device was unplugged. iTunes also thrown an error "iTunes cannot connect to this iPhone" throwing error code 0XE8000065 (I've also seen error code 0XE8000085 as well)
After some finagling, I've managed to get Windows to recognize the device under 'Portable Devices' in Device Manager as an "MTP USB Device" using the generic driver. At this point, I've tried updating the driver and manually specifying the Apple USB driver located in the C:\Program Files(x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Drivers which updates successfully but then changes the device to "Apple USB Mobile Device" and moves it under the USB Devices in Device Manager; and Windows nor iTunes can see it even still.
I've tried removing iTunes several times and ensuring that all remnants of the installation are gone (registry and folders on the installation drive) and have disconnected all my USB devices short of the keyboard and mouse and still I get the same results. At this point, I'm afraid that a re-install of Windows is going to be the solution; but it's a drastic one (I have a SSD drive where Windows is installed along with all of my games for faster load times/better performance and do not want to have to redownload\reinstall all of them) and I'm not prepared to undertake it at this time, which is why I'm posting here
I've used a utility called USBDeview that sees my phone is connected - so I know from a functional standpoint that my USB ports are good and working. I also know the cable is good too - my daughter's PC (Windows 7 32-bit with NO iTunes) immediately sees the device when I plug it in, installs the drivers, recognizes it as an iPhone and I can then see/browse it in Windows Explorer like I would normally expect. My work PC (Windows 7 64bit, NO iTunes) sees the device just fine as well. I would immensely appreciate anyone that has seen this issue or has any additional solutions I can try.
It's also worth mentioning that I've never used Kapersky antivirus so the UPPERFILTERS value in the registry that I've seen as a solution on some forums is not present on my machine. I'm using Microsoft Security Essentials as my antivirus (no flaming please lol - it meets my needs and is extremely lightweight, which is why I'm using it on a gaming rig) and it's not indicating any issues. I've also tried running iTunes as an administrator (even though my account is a local admin on the machine) and that does not have any effect either.
If there is anything I left out, please let me know; and I thank you in advance!

DV8T and Windows 7-64 4gig Reserved by Hardware

Weird issue. I've had a lot of issues with my two brand new DV8Ts. Both show the same issue where the system just freezes up, video goes blank and the fan shuts down. I've seen instances where take manager shows on 4 gig of RAM and then it is rebooted it shows 8 gig of RAM. I went and removed the DIMMs and put them in the opposit slots and now they only show 4 gig of ram all the time. Resource manager says that there is 4 gig reserved by the Hardware.
Here's the chat I had with HP:
Simon Smith : WIndows cannot see all of the RAM
[An agent will be with you shortly.]

Simon Smith : This model is NQ226AV (DV8T-1000). It has Windows 7 64bit. The laptop has 8gig of RAM and BIOS says 8 gig but when windows boots up task manager says 4gig.
Simon Smith : Resource manager says that there's 4 gig reserved by the hardware
Amit Kumar : Simon please click on start then on the run box please type dxdiag and press enter
Amit Kumar : And let me know the available memory
Amit Kumar : Simon are you with me?
Simon Smith : memory 8192MB RAM
Amit Kumar : Its mean that the notebook is taking all 8gigs of memory please do not worry,
Amit Kumar : May I please have the product and serial number of your notebook system?

Simon Smith : I've also tried to reset the RAM. At one time diags showed some bad memory.
Simon Smith : Why should I not worry about the RAM issue. I need all 8gig.
Amit Kumar : The notebook is using 8 GIGss
Amit Kumar : Now please do not worry and if you wish that you are not felling comfortable then you can ask for the replacement.
Simon Smith : Is there a special way these memory DIMMS go into the slots?
Simon Smith : If I put them in the opposite slots it sees all 8 gig but then the laptop does a blue screen.
Amit Kumar : Simon when did you purchase the notebook
Simon Smith : I got it in the mail from HP on two weeks ago.
Amit Kumar : Okay
Amit Kumar : Simon are we using the same notebook while chatting with me?
Simon Smith : No
Amit Kumar : Simon let us go ahead and try to reseat the ram once.
Simon Smith : I've done that 10 times already.
Amit Kumar : Simon see if we are getting the available memory of 8 gig then it mean that the notebook is using all the memory perfectly
Simon Smith : Then why does task manager say 4gig and Resource Manager say that 4 gig is reserved by the hardware?
Simon Smith : If I move the memory to the opposite slots it sees all 8 gig but the computer will do a BOSD.
Amit Kumar : I will really appreciate if you do allow me 2-3 minute while I go ahead and quickly do a research on this issue,
Simon Smith : I'll give you all the time you need. I've done some research too and found nothing.
Amit Kumar : Thank you so much
Amit Kumar : Thank you for staying connected with me. I really appreciate your patience.

...don't crash into a tree trying to avoid a skunk...

Update... So after swapping around the memory to the opposite slots I still couldn't get Windows to see all the memory. It's always saying Hardware Reserved 4106 MB.
Then I decided to reflash the current v.12 system ROM to v.12 again. Once I did that it was able to see all 8GIG. So, I shutdown the laptop and swapped the memory around again. This time it only saw 4 gig after windows booted up. Ok so I flashed the BIOS again. Once it rebooted and went into WIndows and it now sees all 8 gig. I picked up the laptop and moved it over to my desk and it rebooted and hung at the Blue HP Logo. So now I'm back to the origional issue. Flakey issue for sure. I had to power it off. When windows came up it only saw 4 gig of ram. I've rebooted three more times and it still only sees 4 gig of RAM. I even tried flashing the BIOS again and nothing.
I think there's two issues. One is with the BIOS and a possible memory mapping issue and the other is a memory seating issue.
I chatted with Tech support again about this and they said there's no way to fall over of v.12 of the BIOS update. The flash utility doesn't allow for that.
I'd like to hear from other's that have experienced the same issue.
