Are you using Mtn or other types of dongle? Please specify. When was the last time it works. Have you try other usb port? Is your laptop xp or windows 7

With a dongle, it works but the problem occurs when I connect to a hotspot.

Been trying to install MS Office 2013 on a freshly installed Win 7, 64bit but I keep getting "Microsoft setup bootstrapping error". I Purchased d office software from a local vendor. I've tried cleaning registry using d ccleaner app; deactivated security softwares. Eachtime, the installation progress bar starts retracting after it gets to the finishing end. Somebody help, it's frustrating!



Where are the computer software gurus? Don't tell me this case is beyond you? Or is this supposed to be a new case, peculiar to only me?

I forgot to mention that the GPU also matters. If you have 4gb ram with a good GPU and processor you van play virtually any game. 2gb ram with a good GPU will suffer because the ram will bottle neck the system operations.

I don't know what FL Studio is.

Are you authorised to connect to the wireless network, i.e you have the password?

What happened when you connect to a different hotspot?

I am 100% certain that you either don't have
Windows updates install, as in no available updates after installing them. Use google to research how to get to safe mode and try installing the office. If no joy, download Microsoft office 2013 fix it and follow the instructions. After that try installing the office again

I guess you have inadvertently triggered the game's copy protection feature. A way out now is to go online and see if you can find a bypass or try uninstalling and reinstalling.

You can use it but it will limit the features to those in the free version.

I've updated windows and some drivers online. I've equally downloaded and performed Microsoft fixit and all kinds of troubleshooting, and eachtime I get "Windows found no problems"! I omitted these in my original post...

Are you on mtn or zain because I found it so hard to believe that you were able to install all of the windows updates. I asked you to get into safe mode, you didn't. Check your program list, it seems you have office 2010 installed, if so please remove it. If you get into safe mode try installing office 2013 again. Are you 100% sure that the office 2013 is compatible with your machine. For example, 32 bit cd\dvd on 32 bit machine

Good day guys, pls I'm experiencing a number of problems on my system and I don't know what to do.
1. My Bluetooth doesn't work, I've tried driving it all to no avail.
2. My DVD ROM stopped working abruptly, though the system still sees it but I noticed in my device manager that theres a problem with a certain VSO driver, could it be the cause and how do I fix it?
3. How do I repair/recover the recovery partition for a dell inspiron 3521 ( no disc came with it and I've never had to format it.
Thanks
