Windows 8 will not reactivate after recovery

Windows updates screwed my laptop up so that it just continuously tried to rollback the updates. I used the recovery partition to reinstall Windows 8. That worked fine, but now it will not reactivate. It says, "The product key didn't work. Try a different key or buy a new one. I don't think I should have to buy Windows 8 all over again. I have an Envy DV-7230US. Can someone please help me out here?

Acrobat 8 Professional will not Reactivate after installing new MBO

I have installed a new MBO and Processor. the HD has not changed all programs requiring reactivation have ahd no issues except Acrobat 8 pro
After installation I get to the screen were it asked for by serial number, I enter it and move on to next step------
Next screen says please identity the product you are upgrading from in the drop down box.
There are not products listed at all?????? its blank????
I called Activation support and was rudely told it was a general program concern and not problem.
I find this hard to believe since there activation module is kicking off the entire mess.
How do I get the program activated as it will only allow install to the the trial verison???
I will not take time off of work travel to sit on hold and work through this please either give me a written path to correct or refund the cost of the program
Thsi is the original store data when the program was bought

Dear vernon dygert,
Thank you for your purchase of downloadable Adobe products.
For your records, we have included your serial numbers below.
Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional (Windows,English)
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Deactivations are counted. I would like to know the number of deactivations that are allowed. Without knowing, I would call Adobe before doing anything and have them put a notation in your file of what you are going to do so that if you have a problem with activation you have something to refer to.
I received a letter from Adobe about this and their assumption is that if you do too many deactivations then you are trying to run Adobe on more that 2 computers. In my case, I used to many deactivations screwing around with different raid configurations.

Windows Defender will not start after injecting Language Pack

Hi
I have started creating a new Windows 8.1 image for deployment to a new series of computers. When I am in audit mode installing programs, Windows Defender works fine. After sysprep and offline injection of Language Pack (da-dk) Windows Defender user
interface is not able to start.
Error message:
An error has occurred in the program during initialization. If this problem continues, please contact your system administrator. Error code: 0x80073b01.
Both Windows defender services is running and I can even run commands with MpCmdRun.exe from a command prompt. The issue seems to be with the language of the UI.
Is there something I need to do with Windows Defender when I install language packs?

I have recovered and restored my ipad, set up wifi, discovery etc, moved to Terms and Conditions and can get no further. Agree and disagree buttons appear but will not function.

Thanks for the suggestion. Had tried that, and just did again. Still the same. Have tried plugging it in to itunes as suggested elsewhere - Agree button still will not respond. Went on to itunes to download an app - wasnt asked to agree to conditions. I just don't get it......

Windows 7 will not launch after installing itunes 11.1.5.

I initially tried updating itunes but it wouldn't so I uninstalled all Apple products in order per another post I found. Then reinstalled all products and itunes worked fine. I then shut down my computer for the night, then next day windows wouldn't launch. I did a system restore prior to the itunes update and windows works fine. I tried reinstalling itunes again and had the same problem. So now I don't have itunes installed. Anyone know how to get itunes to not prevent windows 7 from launching?

My MBP (15", early 2009 model, 8GB RAM, 1TB internal drive) showed in Software Update as not needing any other updates, and I downloaded from Apple's site directly and installed iTunes 11.1.5 rather than doing it via Software Update (I've had some glitches with the 'direct' install from SU in the past, so I manually download updates from Apple's support website instead).
Hoping Apple will figure out what's wrong with this version under 10.6.8...

Windows 7 will not install after formatting partition

i am currently trying to install windows 7 on my mac mini, I am running on OS X version 10.7.3 and have a Window 7 OEM system builder pack. When I get to the point in boot camp where I select the partition i get the standard notification can not be installed because it is not NTFS. I proceed as setup guide describes and click advance and format. When I click next another notification comes up and wont intall Window 7. I attempted a couple of hard shut downs only to get to same screen. Unable to capture screen and post. Any thoughts out there, I can only think this system builder pack is not a full version however it say to be used on new CPU's. my thought new partition = new CPU?????

Okay,
I had removed the Windows 7 partition and just went back through my original steps to get the error message. I have a mac mini with one 400gb drive. I partitioned the drive and gave windows 7 100gb. After formatting the drive and clicking next, I get this message "Setup was unable to create a new partition or locate an existing partition. See the setup log files for more information." This is were my ability to problem shoot ceases.

Windows 7 will not boot after installation on mac pro

I have a mac pro 2006, and wish to install windows7 on another internal drive, when I follow bootcamp to the point where it says load installation disc for windows 7, it tries to load, but then I get an empty folder with a question mark in it. So then I tried an install on just an internal hard drive not using bootcamp, this time it seems to do a full installation, but when it tries to restart I get a mac symbol, with a no entry sign, any help please.

I can boot in windows safe mode, but, I cannot restart or finish the installation,

Windows 8 will not boot - After install virtual box (virtualization)

I installed virtual box and now I am unable to start window 8.
I read online that there is a known issue with virtualization on windows 8. They suggested trying to toggle virtualization on/off in the bios which has not solved my problem. Does anyone know of anything else I can do to get my install back? I really do
not want to have to re-install windows. I have only had windows 8 installed for three weeks!

I tried upgrading from VirtualBox 4.3.12 to 4.3.20 and ended up with an unbootable machine (Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit). It would come up to the desktop but nothing would work - there were no icons on the desktop, the tray applications didn't seem to be loading,
the transparent task bar was shown as a block of solid colour. Pressing CTRL-ALT-DEL brought up the menu where I could choose Task Manager, but the Task Manager itself would not show up, just a dialog warning me that a process was not responding and asking
if I wanted to end the task (I forget the exact wording). Clicking "End task" that dialog removed the dialog only for it to appear again a minute later. It was not possible to do anything with the machine or to open the Task Manager.
I have updated through a number of versions of VirtualBox without issue. 4.3.20 seems to be a bad update. Unless some other recent update has changed something in Windows so that the VirtualBox update now conflicts.
I forced the system to turn off then used System Restore to reset it to an earlier time. System Restore told me it had failed with an error, but then when I rebooted the machine a dialog came up at the desktop saying that System Restore had succeeded. It
works again now but I am stuck with the older version of VirtualBox.

HP Pavilion 15-n268sa will not boot after windows update (windows 8.1)

After a series of windows update (windows 8.1) my HP Pavilion 15-n268sa will not boot up, no fan noises, no lights no nothing.
I have tried a "hard reset" a number of times with no success.
When the battery is present the white LED flashes 3 times when the power button is pressed.
Please please help.

Hello Cuffy,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand you notebook will not boot after a series of Windows updates.
Can you tell me if you are able to access the HP Recovery Manager by repeatedly tapping the F11 key while the notebook turns on? If you can access this, try doing a system restore to before you installed the updates. If not I would suggest you go through this document: Computer Does Not Start and the LEDs Blink or the Computer Beeps.
If it's the Caps Lock light that is blinking this document will tell you exactly what the error is (spoiler: 3 beeps is a memory failure). This could also explain the failed updates. The updates are stored in the RAM before being applied to the operating system.
You can try reseating the RAM, or using only 1 of the RAM cards, as you have 2x4GB cards. If it still doesn't work with 1 card, try the other card to confirm it has failed.
You can replace defective cards via HP Phone Support if covered under warranty or at the HP Part Store if not covered. You can contact HP Technical Support at 1-800-474-6836 in North America. For all other regions click here.
Hopefully this information helps!

Boot Camp will not work after installing recovery disk

I purchased a refurbished Macbook Pro 2012. I went ahead and installed dual ssds and used the Mac OS X recovery disk from USB flash drive. I wanted to install WIndows 7 through bootcamp. Bootcamp will not start after selecting continue. I'm not sure if boot camp is corrupted or something I did wrong.

Well you'll need to see if that remote app has an update or if it is compatible with IOS 7.
since you didn't state which remote app your using.

Premiere Elements 12 will not run after installing on my HP laptop with Windows 7.

Premiere Elements 12 will not run after installing on my HP laptop with Windows 7. HOWEVER, PE11, PE10 & PE 9 all run without a problem. I contacted HP, and there are NO NEW or ADDITIONAL video drivers available from HP.
I have NEVER had a problem running ANY software on this laptop -- except for PREMIERE ELEMENTS 12!

TS1717 My Itunes will not launch after downloading and I have tried all the troubleshooting for itunes for Windows 7 64-bit. Do I need to system reboot my computer than try to download it again?

My Itunes will not launch after downloading and I have tried all the troubleshooting for itunes for Windows 7 64-bit. Do I need to system reboot my computer than try to download it again?

I'm having a very similar issue, paired with iTunes not being able to get online.
iTunes shows up in processes and then hangs at 17,000 K or so -- sometimes it will start up, but that (if it occurs) is a delay of literal hours.
Pretty meticulously went through all the 'cannot connect' trouble shooting, and have uninstalled, restarted, and then reinstalled every piece of apple software; issue is just as firm. Starting in safe mode or admin mode don't fix it; signing in as a different user doesn't fix it.

Windows xp will not boot up after installation of desktop software 4.3.

windows xp will not boot up after installation of desktop software 4.3. Where do I start to get my p.c. going again ???

I get the message that a recent hardware or software change might have caused this.
The computer does not boot up in safe mode or last known good configuration.
I'm glad you think the software has nothing to do with it, but perhaps you can also explain why this problem started as soon as I downloaded the desktop software and tried to restart the computer.

Digital Editions 4.0 will not open after installation on Windows XP laptop.

Digital Editions 4.0 will not open after installation on Windows XP laptop. DigitalEditions 3.0 installs and opens fine. Have tried 4.0 several times. Removed 3.0 and 4.0, reboot, reinstall 4.0 still will not open. Error message says Windows has experienced and problem and requires that Digital Editions must be shut down.

Solved my own problem. It was necessary to delete all instances of Adobe Digital Editions in programs and the registry. After doing so and reinstalling 4.02...., it became available in the "open with" dialogue box and became the default epub reader.
