He needed to install a redistributable for his game issue...which required SP1 (Yes win 7). Since then..... The above link - I have done every single one of them......hasn't fixed it. Grrr.	pctek (84)

1426200	2016-09-20 20:55:00	Well 166 posts is better than THIS (pressf1.pcworld.co.nz) thread, 1 year and 8 months, 1421 Posts and still not going. :lol: I’ll bet every Car Manufacturer on the planet are glad they aren’t run by Microsoft Engineers. :groan: What a idiotic example :groan: Obviously you don't know the meaning of the thread which is BETA and Preview Operating systems, NOT a finished one. Beta and previews are never finished and will always have bugs.NO ONE is trying to solve a problem, its just a thread relating to newer up and coming versions of windows. What you will find is when Linux turns bad, and it will for some reason or another, be it something altered on purpose or mistake, getting help will be a lot harder. Over the years its proven that people who can help for one reason or another aren't here, then you're stuffed. Just as well Rob J has the knowledge and willingness to try and help, other wise the .swf files would still be a problem eh !	wainuitech (129)
1426201	2016-09-20 21:02:00	Just a point of interest, on the Win 7 machine, which Microsoft now claims to have an illegal key, the key reported by Windows and the Key reported by “Speccy” are totally different. How does that work? Depends on if the install is a factory install Eg: from a name brand PC or the COA on the case. Some key locators actually display the wrong key and not the actual real key. If its a Factory install Key they always show as invalid because they are a volume type key same key all used on thousands of computers. There's another file in the install that makes it legit. Which sometimes if there are corruptions makes it show as invalid. That's another reason these days keys are embedded in the motherboard, not easy to change. Using the Car Manufacturer example, lets say you go buy a new car - its the Blue one sir -- pointing at 10 different Blue cars ?? Depends on which car your key fits.	wainuitech (129)
1426202	2016-09-20 21:45:00	What I was referring to about keys not being genuine and people get caught out, had to do some searching but found a textbook example. If a person opens google and does a search for their shown key, what I've found is if its either pirated, blacklisted for some reason, Factory installed, or other wise not totally legit method then it will show in the results. If the search shows no results its none of the above, and either corruptions or something else has gone wrong. If the OS is a upgraded windows 10 you will get results as Microsoft are using a type on KMS key. Now back to the example, A thread 2011 - one guy, installed SP1 on W7, until then it had showed as genuine, have a read of the complete thread answers.microsoft.com (answers.microsoft.com) Then starts bad mouthing the people trying to help I am not some stupid newbie, so your sarcasm is not appreciated. WHEN he finally posts the info required its proven that he was using a KMS key which he may not meant to have -- Notice once proven doesn't reply back-- (face Palm-oops) If you look at the post, where he xxxx-xxxx out part of the key -Doesn't matter, copy/paste the remainder into google = KMS key	wainuitech (129)
1426203	2016-09-20 22:54:00	What a idiotic example :groan: Obviously you don't know the meaning of the thread which is BETA and Preview Operating systems, NOT a finished one. Not idiotic at all. The idiocy is allowing a development to take so long with so many failures. The way I see it is Microsoft should have out sourced the development of Windows 10 to the developers of “Classic Shell” who actually made Windows 10 usable.	B.M. (505)

The way I see it is Microsoft should have out sourced the development of Windows 10 to the developers of “Classic Shell” who actually made Windows 10 usable. Obvious you're not getting the concept of beta /Preview versions. They are meant to be unstable, and the ones that are released to the general public have had a lot of work on them. The current version of W10 general; release is 14393 ONLY in August, The latest build is 14931 So as you can see miles ahead. Microsoft stated ages ago, windows 10 will be an ongoing development process. Just the same as Other OS's currently are. If you think the start menu is all the OS you are sadly mistaken. Tell me One OS that doesn't have faults ??? Its certainly not Linux, as you have proven by the failures posted. BTW I'm using Linux in general , that's one of the problems getting help, there's so many different versions. There's nothing wrong with W10 layout, just some people don't like change. Look what happened when Ubuntu (I think it was) changed their layout, all hell from the Linux crowd broke lose with complaints. If you buy a new more powerful car (for example) it will be different to the previous, so do you complain and want to change back to the old seats, smaller engine ?? Now you may say you wouldn't buy a car you don't like, that's fair enough, if you don't like Windows then don't use it -- no ones really going to care, just don't complain when the Current OS ( Linux) goes belly up and no ones able to help sort it.	wainuitech (129)
1426205	2016-09-20 23:21:00	Lets not forget that this Win7 activates : so its probably not flagged as pirated etc (?) Perhaps there is some software gamepatch/crack VPN he's running that screws up activation ? Or perhaps something as simple as flaky network card or some Hardware ID triggering the re-activation ? try this diag tool go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=52012 and support.microsoft.com www.ashiktricks.com www.wikihow.com	1101 (13337)

Thats like saying, the makers of my car seat covers should be the ones who now make the whole car; because the car seat covers are so good. :badpc: :badpc:	1101 (13337)
