i got a question  my daughters friend came over with her laptop and she and her friend hooked up her laptop to my puter  and now  i get a message that im running a out law windows. and i dont have the disk to reinstall windows  any help anyone thanks   0:

You can try a system restore but I'm not sure that will help.
thanks boss i tryed that  and MS still says something about the key code    so i guess i have to shell out the bucks again   !@#$  civilwar.gif

When you go to buy it check with the geeks but you may only have to buy the upgrade cd which is much cheaper than the full version
ok thanks boss i will try that  O0

after alllllllllllll day of live chat and emailing back and forth to the support of micro trend i have the program installed. sighhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh  geez i am exhausted lol

the instructions i kept getting from them was to go to the INSTALLED program and disable it then uninstall. problem with that is it would NEVER install lol

i ended up going into the setup file and deleting the hotfix all together. rebooted and it installed perfectly!

glad thats done! i need a treat after that! bbq22.gif

Thanks to you both <3

so far i am where i was but thats ok. if i can't get the support staff to help me then that tells me a lot and i'd rather get my $70.00 back. i waited almost 2 hours yesterday for a rep from the live chat to help me but they never came. i'll wait a few days for them to respond to my mail and in the meantime i'll do some more research.
i'll update the post if i get this resolved incase someone else comes across this problem too.

the site i found didn't have a custom button so i am sure i am at the wrong one.

Sorry but I had gone to bed, I'm in the UK but I see that Homer answered you. :)

On vista (or on ours anyway) the word custom isnt there its the word 'optional', sorry for the confusion.

Incidentelly the update that I posted before isnt in hubby's update list, so assume that like XP this is an fix/patch for specific problems and not an automatic or optional update.

Hope you both get it sorted.

ps you can't reply to pm's unless you have 25 posts  :(

Go to your browser and under tools select windows update

QuoteYou need to click custom on the windows update site and look at the specific software and hardware updates.  Windows by default only downloads critical updates, so even if you have the latest updates it doesnt mean you actually have the updates you need.



thanks Homer..i was refering to this. i didn't see your post before i posted. :)

i am embarrassed to ask this but can you send me the site addy please? i was going to reply in PM but darned if i could find a reply button. lol
the site i found didn't have a custom button so i am sure i am at the wrong one.

also i wonder if my IE is off in some way. i am a FF user but when i clicked on ''get updates for more products'' in my windows update it opened an IE site,but before it could finish it froze. i tried 3 times and each time it did that. maybe that is whats messing my install up?
