Script Error Message

I purchased IOLO System Mechanic through Dell. It will not scan for spyware and malware. It says it has to do with a Script Error. I contacted System Mechanic several times, and at first they said it was due to Internet Explorer. They told me they would set me up with a Microsoft Tech for $199.95 for one year of service plan, and they would repair it. Needless to say I've had to call them several times because after they take over my computer, and several hours later it will do a scan, but within a few days later the same thing happens. I don't believe these guys are Microsoft Techs. I can't afford to pay anymore people to try to get to the bottom of this problem. I don't…

windows 7 upgrade
by Guest PSal44- 0 replies

Here's a puzzle for you. I purchased an HP Pavillion Elite mid 2009 64 bit with Vista. The purchase came with upgrade to Win 7 (not yet then released). The disks arrived late 2009-upgrade disk and Windows 7 install. No product key was on a separate paper or envelope. There is a part # on the upgrade disk, but MS told me they couldn't look it up by that! Anyway, I filed them to do later. Late 2011 (after finally moving my many pics and docs) I loaded 7. It appears to have loaded fine, but MS is giving me 27 days now to come up with an upgrade/product key. I've spent literally hours on the phone and email with both MS and HP only to be told there is nothing for them to do.…

I have purchased a new computer. I installed Office Professional Plus 2010 on the new computer. However I want to transfer my optiojns for Word and Excel, my dictionary with all my added spelling words, the auto correct entries, etc. I have been searching Technet as well as the general web. There are a few suggestions but they apply to earlier versions of Word and Office. It seems that there ought to be a technical bulletin somewhere but I cannot find it on Microsoft Website. Perhaps I did not have the right key word search terms, but I would love to know how this is done. I have thousands of additional spelling words and almost 500 additional autocorrect options. …

by Guest Lightss- 0 replies

I managed to seriously mess up my Windows 7 on my laptop, during a system restore I unpowered my laptop because I thought it was frozen as it was running for over an hour. Ever since then whenever I try to enter windows I will get a blue screen for a split second then it will restart itself. It happens no matter what I try to boot to, safe mode, last known good configuration, and every other option I tried. Because my laptop does not have a diskdrive, I have been trying to install win 7 through a USB drive. My laptop is a 2nd gen HP Envy 15 with great specs & I've had it for just about two years with no real problems. I set it to boot to USB and that works well, wind…
