Lisamscott: Hi can I download windows 7 installation from the Internet Thanks Yes sir, U can. But is a function on your bandwidth size. If you are using the service from any of the mobile phone providers(MTN, AIRTEL etc) then you will need to get ready to pay for another subscription in like a few hours. Am sure you would have exhausted your limit(file is almost 5GB). if you have a good radio or VSAT service with a very good bandwidth, YOU ARE A GO!!!! OK now let's be realistic: why would U wanna download when U can easily buy or borrow the CD. You only need to pay for the SERIAL KEY to authenticate your software as GENUINE. My advice; buy the key online from microsoft and buy the software from village(200 naira or so), better still buy the complete pack(CD + key) for just about 20k(I know someone who can give you discount) |

I will look it up for you sha, but what reasons do you have for using VISTA? Vista was just a stop-gap between XP and Win7 it is really a mess that embarrassed Microsoft.

Trustyd1: Pls I bought HP laptop "2nd hand" but whenever I insert any CD plate in de CD ROM de it won't booth, I want to format is because is full of virus. Thanks Can u play CD/DVD on the device normally? If NO; then replace the CD/DVD drive. If YES; then you need to 'tell' your PC to boot from the CD/DVD drive.( Restart--press F9 for boot option--choose your CD/DVD drive--press ENTER key) Also check that it has a restore partition, If yes: - Restart your PC and press f11 as it boots. (This takes you to the restore mode) - Follow the prompts.(Its pretty straight forward) Hope this helps |

chindi: 1 more try try f2 to get into the bios if it cant no bother. checkt to see if the hard drive is detected and check boot piority/order if you can access the bios run the diagnostic test, load setup default In BIOS is smart turned on for the hard drive? Turn it off. probably a defective hard drive.... You need to save your data AND replace the hard drive and reload the OS..... Go to a computer Mechnanic |
Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by deji2009(m): 2:07pm On Dec 22, 2012 |
wolebaba: @Farouk senior: Pls make sure you go back to bios and load setup default we made some changes and it's important to load default before ading another hard drive And [b]backup your data [/b]using a [b]usb hard drive enclosure [/b]and after that reinstall windows. you need to connect the enclosure to another computer and would auto detect your drive. read the instruction that came with the product or go to a copu tec shop to get your data backup (if you have any) @wolebaba pls has said it all. we have done our 1st/2nd diags now to the physicl bit. if you live in abuja or lekki let me know I may link you up with adewale in abuja |

keemax: Laptop make and model ? e.g., toship300-20h windows vista The error message Not a valid Win32 application usually means the download somehow became corrupted during the download. This caused it to download as a file type that is unrecognizable to your computer.Most smaller anti-virus programs will classify this file as a Type_Win32 virus, because they don't recognize the corrupted file. This is not the case. Please try the following: 1. Delete the corrupted file> right click the prog...icon and select delete go back to uninstall programme in control panel and uninstall it should be alright 2. Reset the browser you are using to download e.g. explorer, chrome,firefox look for settins and reset it unsure how to use google 3. Close the browser and restart your computer then try downloading again download malwarebyte and scan fo viruses adewasco posted a fix the last time relating to this the last time. wait and see try all those first pls 4. Now redownload the prog... |
