Guest Stefkov Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 I don't know what I did last night but I seem to have made a second Desktop folder. I deleted this folder from my 'Stefan Kov' Folder. The contents were the same as what they were in the other folder which were the same. So I deleted the folder and My torrents worked fine, downloading to desktop, so I just checked by putting a picture onto my desktop. It created another Desktop folder back where the other one was. This is kind of irritating if anyone knows whats happened I'll be grateful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 My Vista Business edition won't activate and i've only got a few days left. I'm getting the error code: 0x800705B4 i think. i'll have to check next time it tries. I checked google. But it appears i have to do something after the time runs out, i kinda want a a solution before then. Are you sure your activation code hasn't been used before or if it's a business activation number maybe its been used the maximum amount of times?

AshMat Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 This is bullshit, today it's decided to run out (Code: 0x800705B4) Now Vista is in Reduced Functionality Mode, and i can't find a bloody fix >:@ Fuck microsoft and fuck their "safety" bullshit.

AshMat Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 Think i've not tried that? I rang them at the guy t the other enbd said i needed some "Volume activation number" or something similar. I don't have these numbers, and if i do i don't have access to them. FUCK MICROSOFT UP THE FUCKING ASS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stev2604 Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 I'm having a problem with Windows Media Player on my laptop, it only recognises my .avi files as audio files. I'm getting sound but no picture, anyone know what's wrong with it? EDIT: I didn't have Divx installed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Stefkov Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 Lol you are on Vista yeah? Have you been keeping up with the updates, does your pc update automatically? I just clicked on Windows Update, checked for new updates and there it was. Service Pack 1. Installed and now my pc is running quite a bit smoother. Not noticed anything else though.
