Hello Is it possible to sequence and deploy volume license editions of Project and Visio 2013 with App-V 5.0 and allow the KMS Activation to work appropriately? So far we have sequenced both applications but they currently do not activate. If Visio is installed manually on the PC then it will activate. Any information is greatly appreciated Lee Bowman MCITP MCTS View this thread

I am re-trying to re-phrase the same question once again, so that someone on this forum can understand it. First off, "I do not have Microsoft Office." I had "Windows Live Email Client" installed on my computer and it was working good enough. But, I was informed and led to believe through the Microsoft Newsletters and Alerts, that it was no longer being offered nor supported. And that Outlook.com was replacing it, and could be used as an email client to send, receive, read and use as a default email client just like Windows Live Email Client did. But, either I have configured it wrong or Outlook.com does not work as a default email client. Can someone please help? My OS is Windows 7 64-bit SP1, with IE 10 for Windows 7. (Everything is Updated) Thanks, Dake View the thread

Hi!Running 32-bit Win XP Pro SP3. Browser is Firefox 19.0.2.History: In March, I migrated from NIS to MSE. Immediately after MSE was installed, it detected Trojan:JS/Seedabutor.B.Microsoft Encyclopedia entryUpdated: Jan 21, 2013 | Published: Jan 11, 2013 AliasesTrojan.JS.Redirector.xa (Kaspersky) JS.Redirector.175 (Dr.Web) I deleted Java and emptied all temporary Internet files repeatedly. So far, I've ran 4 scans (with some via Safe Mode) and nothing was found to exist, including a MSE full scan. (CCleaner, Malwarebytes, MS Safety Scanner, TDSSKiller) The Kaspersky alias is Trojan.JS.Redirector.xa but their TDSSKiller didn't detect anything.I've read several online postings about the manual removal of this Trojan but of the files mentioned, I can find few on my system.Before I follow non-MS instructions for removal, I wanted to ask MSE experts whether this is a real threat or a false positive. And, if it is real, what are the steps for removal and clean-up?Lastly, a MSE newbie question. If MSE is quarantining this particular Trojan, is my system secure and safe?Thank you for you dedicated time and attention! View this thread

I have a digital photo viewer that came with a memory card. I would like to load photos from my PC onto the card so I can view them on the digital photo viewer. When I insert the card, a light comes on indicating connection but I cannot locate it in the removable storage. I have tried a number of tactics but nothing seems to work. Any suggestions?

I went to help on MS Essentials and found a 6 step help, which I did all 6 steps and still cannot get MS Essentials to work properly. When I log on it's green. When I open my browser (Firefox) it turns yellow. I open MS Essentials, runs a quick scan and it turns green, but within an hour turns yellow again. It's updated and still have no solutions. There no "fix it" solution anywhere I can locate. I have Windows 7. I sure hope someone can help or I am going to have to gets a virus or anti-virus program somewhere else. Jim Yeary View this thread

Microsoft Update is refusing to run via Internet Explorer. I seem to encounter two different errors, and there seems to be no pattern as to which error shows up where or when or why. One is 0x800A138F: The website has encountered a problem and cannot display the page you are trying to view. I can't remember exactly what the other one was or said, but it was similar. Solutions I have tried thus far: - restarted computer, internet, etc. - added both Windows Update and Microsoft Update to the Trusted Sites (I did this years ago) - reset both the Trusted Sites and the Internet zone settings - ran Microsoft Fix-It from here: http://support.microsoft.com/mats/windows_update/en-us - attempted to run the windowsupdate.diagcab tool from here: http://support.microsoft.com/gp/windows-update-issues?wa=wsignin1.0 As with numerous other users in this forum, I can not run that .diagcab file. Looking at the numerous posts about this file, no one has yet solved anything. It seems Microsoft has yet to recognize or acknowledge that they're providing a tool that is unuseable. I hope I've provided enough information here to lead to a resolution. I also sent a report through the Fix-It tool when it did not change anything. View this thread

Everytime I try to run as administrator or when I try to do anything that require admin, I get a message that says, "Consent UI for admininstrative applications has stopped working and was closed." It's drasticly slowing down my computer. I've been doing a little a reading online, and some people with this problem are saying its malware that mimics the constent.exe file. I've tried updating and running full scan, but max isnt picking up anything. I use this comp for work sometimes and I cant have this computer messing up on me.Please help me View this thread

I have recently been encountering problems after installing recent updates with the system freezing whenever I close either Firefox, or IE - I have to force close windows by holding power button in and then reboot.My desktop runs Windows 7 Home 64 bit.No problems with desktop for over a year until I installed all the Important and optional windows updates in March when "freezing issue occured". Tried resetting firefox, no success, and could not manage to get any recent resore point to work. I ended up recovering my system from a full Acronis back up that I did in January. I ran windows update (after sorting 8024800A problem with help from these forums) and only installed the numerous Important Updates (lots of them as I had gone recovered my system via Acronis). I did not install the optional updates that included Nvidia , printer and various other windows updates. All was well with no problems and I did full Acronis back up on Monday 8 April.The latest batch of Windows Updates became available on Tuesday and I adopted following approach:a) Installed all Critical/Important updates - with resore point successfully createdb) Installed all optional updates, including large nvidia 9500GT update with resore point successfully created.Insttalling b) took a long time as nvidia update was large but all updates (a & b) were shown as being successfully installed.The freezing problem when closing firefox or IE then cropped up again!I then tried the following:1) Firefox reset - no impact2) Running restore point created before intalling optional updates per b) above. Failed.........3) Rolling back nvidia driver.......failedI then decided to recover my system to its stable state, pre updates, using the backup that I did on Monday.Acronis recovery successful.I then ran windows update which now included Nvidia 9500GT in the Important category (previously optional - methinks another release providing games support for Bioshock etc!), along with the usual Optionals for windows and printers.I believe that Nvidia updates are the source of my problems and have only installed the non NVidia important updates so far.Everthing currently stable.As I only perform basic browsing, email. word, excel type tasks on this pc I do not need a graphics card that can support latest games releases and am planning on following the "if it a'int broken, dont fix it approach!! My old video driver seems to be stable and is not causing problems, and my printer is also working well with no problems.Does the fact that a Nvidia 9500GT update (> 200mb) is now being shown as being important, rather than optional, imply that I am at risk if i do not install? My instince tells me that intalling it will cause me more grief!Is it "safe" to ignore optional windows, printer etc updates and Important/optional nvidia updates so long as i continue intalling Critical/Important Windows updates?Would appreciate feedback re my proposed approach to updates, and on the problem encountered.Is there a way of removing the Important Nvidia update from the list as it seems that I will have to continue ensuring it remains unticked whenever plan to install future important updates.......Many thanks in avance (apologies for somewhat long post)> View this thread
