I had no idea I was expected to make a purchase of a completely different version. I would expect that to be an "upgrade". |

I've 2010 on one device and don't recall every being offered to buy something when installing an update. I opened OneNote 2010 and that's where it all started. From what I can remember there was a pop-up about an update. In the very beginning I was confronted with a small logon window asking me to log on to the Cloud. Now I have a folder that holds OneNote 2013. When I try to start it I get to that same point where I need to use the Cloud. It makes no mention that it's 2013. If I decline I can not go any further. I never reached a place where I was offered to make a purchase. |

I suppose I could go forward and never use the cloud but I don't know if this will result in OneNote 2010 being replaced. I like to know what's about to happen before it does. |

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........ And owns a liquor store........... |

I searched for a fix and came upon this http://temcam.com/2013/10/25/how-to-...genuine-error/ As it says I used the CMD (run as administrator) and entered SLMGR -REARM and hit return. I rebooted and all was well. Now a few days later 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 am at a point where I'm more or less in favor of pirating Windows after all the problems MicroSoft releases. There are other LEGAL alternatives. That's what I'm looking for. Someone that has fixed this other than so many cures that are suggested. I've read about the Activation process but this install has been activated to that's not on the top of my list. To me it seems like there should be a quick fix that directly address this issues that resulted from this bug. You can activate it through Microsoft and pay them $$. If you are positive the copy you have is legit, you can call MS and try to hash it out with them. Personally, I would not have the patience to jump through those hoops. I don't have any desire to do what shouldn't be needed to do in the first place. I paid for several Win7 disks and again when I used the instant upgrade to Ultimate. Each must have cost quite a bit if I added it all up. I have nothing but retail versions and did the installs myself. So, yes, I'm sure they are legit. I wasn't aware that Activation a second time would cost me more money so that's another reason I won't be doing that. thanks for the reply Tough Guy no. 1265. It doesn't cost anything if they believe you that you're not trying to cheat. -- Brian Gregory (in the UK). To email me please remove all the letter vee from my email address. |
