Today I thought I'd create a Social Security account online. This
process was denied which required me to place a phone call. During that
call I was told there was no way to verify my existence on this planet
because I don't have a credit card. The superpower they use to track me
has no information that says I'm real. I'm not even a memory. Talk about
privacy. I love it.

You seem to have very bad luck.

I don't see it that way at all. I see it as having a very secure ID, I
have no credit cards, I never did by choice. I can't be verified or
Identified therefore I can't be categorized or victimized. If someone
stole my faults ID what good would it do. If the government doesn't even
know who I am than how good it that?




I was referring to "all" the issues you bring to the forum, not just the Social
Security incident.

If you think the government doesn't know who you are, try not paying your taxes
and see what happens.

I never think of myself as having bad luck considering the variety of
things I get involved in. I think I actually enjoy a measure of
"trouble". It keeps the blood flowing.

I am sure the government "seekers" are well aware of everything about
me. I do have a job and pay taxes.

What else is this forum for but posts regarding bad luck adventures of
Microsoft Windows 7.


I didn't say or imply anything about the purpose of the forum.

I simply stated my observation about your lack of good luck, which is based upon
the number of issues you raise in this group.


I will have to review my posts and see if I agree now that many of the
issues have been resolved. It all must have something to do with my
uncontrollable urge to tinker.

Years ago I had a neighbor who purchased a 100 year old house on the property
next to my 110 year old house. Your average 100 year old house requires a fair
amount of maintenance and he was not what one would call "handy".

For several years, I and the other neighbors were helping him out with repairs
on a regular basis. It was a friendly area and the rest of us were quite good
with such things. One day when three of us were helping him dig up and replace
a lead pipe leading to his septic tank, one of the guys asked him "What made you
buy this place? Didn't you realize how much work it would be and that you
aren't good with such things?" His reply was classic, he said "Yeah, I knew it
would be a lot of work but I saw all of your houses and I figured I could find
people to help me."

All of us told him that he should have bought a brand new condo in the city and
that it was getting kind of tedious doing all this work without at least a keg
of beer and pizza and or having him show up when any of us needed another back
for a project. He told us that so far, he hadn't needed to do that as we were
helping him for free. Needless to say, it wasn't long after that most of us
stopped taking his calls and he ended up moving to the city. Good times.......


So if I buy you pizza and beer you'll help me clean MY septic tank? I
bet I couldn't find anyone to do any of that kind of work these days.

I remember moving and all I had to do was announce the presence of a
keg of beer and more people would show up than were needed. The catch
was the beer was at an undisclosed location that by coincidence happened
to be in the back yard of the new place.




No, now that I am well into my 90's I would not help you replace a pipe going to
your septic tank unless you were to do all the digging, buy all the materials,
acquire all the tools and do all the labor, turning to me only for advice and
affirmation. Oh, and the beer would have to be served by a size 0 - 2, 28 year
old, female, hard-body with DD cup boobs and loose morals.


Addendum, she would also need to have poor eyesight........


I can't say I know any but do know quite a few that have poor
judgement and real bad memories.

Of course, that means "if THEY think it's legit".



If OEM however it will have to be the same hardware.

I agree. I'll never totally stop using Windows. I have a computer for
every serious application I use. Photo/video editing, Cad/CAM
programming, cartography software and more. I used to dual boot to
Windows XP but no longer.

As it says I used the CMD (run as administrator) and entered SLMGR

I get the same message. Is anyone familiar with a direct fix? I've
read
about other fixes but I'd like to get a first hand account of what
really works to set this installation straight.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Get the pirate program "Windows 7 Loader". Whether you used to be
legit
or not, it'll shut it up.

I was amused by that download. I don't think I have the brass to use
something that says it's not legit.

I've used it since Windows 7 came out, and never had a problem with it.

I am at a point where I'm more or
less in favor of pirating Windows after all the problems MicroSoft
releases.

Windows 10 is free anyway, so even if you don't like piracy, you're not
really doing it anymore :-)

Some people have employment and do not need to pirate software.
You are long term unemployed and always will be.

I'll take your word for it. Do you care to share what I missed and how
to get around it? I closed the Cloud subscription window and the update
ended.

"
I remember getting those reports delivered by mail. I have been curious
for some time now about just where I am in that food chain. I'm wondering
if it would be any benefit to me to select Medicare rather than paying my
share of a healthcare package not picked up by my employer. I've been
considering becoming self employed in my older years. The drive to work is
the most dangerous thing I ever do on the 80 miles I put in every day. The
roads I travel are a crime scene and there is nothing any one can do about
it. Here in New Hampshire they are now just getting around to adding a
third lane on the major exit into Mass.

The inability of them to ID me can be remedied with an in person visit to
the local S.S. office.



Yes, Medicare and a private employer-subsidized healthcare package is
something to be thought out. In my case, my wife is nine years younger than
me so if I still am employed with my company at Medicare age in three years,
I would still need to keep my company insurance to cover her. My own claims
would then be submitted to the company's insurance first (high deductible,
really just a discount on the claim amount) and then Medicare would pay 80%
of the balance as secondary provider.

I have already reached the age where people ask me why I'm not
retired. My wife is 7 years my junior and can get insurance where she
works if I decide to accept a medicare plan. I'm going to the S.S.
office to day to get some first hand facts.
