Windows 7 Issue????

Monday, June 15, 2009 · 0 comments

Okay I finally got a copy of 7 RC thing is that I'm not sure if I done it right, I found an new iso in my documents but not sure if that was the required file. I had burned it to a dvd an it says windows starting an seemed to be it but it gives me an error every time, 0xc0000017 an unexpected error occured. So I have no clue since it should just start up to it right? I got the 32 bit version an all the hardware is right an I formated the drive but I dont even get that at the main prompt. There isnt a whole lot of time left so if we can get this resolved fast so I can use it.

I was able to get it to work, I was downloading updates to other OS's so that it wont boggle down my connection when they needed it. It was more of a hardware conflict then anything and not really reading all of it cause I assumed which I really shouldnt have. Most of my machines are pent 3 an have some form of linux on them an realized that specs are differnt. I had to borrow parts from else were but it will seem to be okay for a while.

Locked Out of Windows XP (activation problems)

· 0 comments

Last night I shut down my PC computer. In the morning I turned on the system and Windows XP began to boot. It stopped on the log in screen. A Windows Product Activation window appeared: "This copy of windows must be activated with microsoft before you can log on. Do you want to activate windows now?" Yes or No.

My brother build this computer and activated windows a several weeks ago. I have been using the computer without this screen or any problems for awhile.

If you hit "No" - Nothing happens and the same login screen refreshes with the same question.

If you hit "Yes" - A screen with a lock and a key appears, saying, " Windows is alreadyactivated. Click okay to exit." Whether you click okay or click the x in the top right corner of the screen the same thing happens. You get kicked out to the same login screen.

Now I can't access anything. Not even safe mode. Maybe I am doing something wrong. Does anybody know how I can get into Windows so I can run some virus software? I haven't had the computer that long so it seems unlikely a virus has affected the system, but I'm can't be completely sure. I can not check anything because I can get into Windows. Is there another way to access the system? I can't even seem to be able to reinstall Windows. I changed the bios setting to boot the cd rom first but it doesn't seem to recognize the reinstallation cd.

Any suggestions for a next step. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

AOL Sued Over Voice Platform

Klausner Technologies claims patent infringement by the ISP.

"Because of the fast-paced docket in the Eastern District of Virginia, we expect a quick resolution of the matter and the prompt issuance of an injunction that will stop AOL from using this patented technology," Greg Dovel, an attorney representing Klausner Technologies, said in a statement.

A spokeswoman for New York-based Klausner Technologies was not immediately available for comment.

Citing company policy, AOL spokesperson Nicholas J. Graham declined comment until the company has reviewed the complaint and reviewed its legal options.

Graham said Klausner Technologies has communicated with the ISP in the past, but he declined to characterize the discussions.

AOL's voice services platform includes AOL Voicemail, AOL Call Alert, AOL by Phone and AOL VoIP Internet Phone Service, which was launched in April.

PeopleSoft sues Oracle

· 0 comments

PeopleSoft said Friday that it has filed a suit against Oracle, the latest in a series of moves aimed at thwarting the database giant's unsolicited takeover bid.

The suit, filed in California's Alameda County Superior Court, seeks an injunction preventing Oracle from proceeding with its $16-a-share bid for PeopleSoft. In its suit, PeopleSoft charges that Oracle's purpose in making the bid was to interfere with the company's own plans to buy J.D. Edwards for $1.7 billion.

In a statement, PeopleSoft said that "Oracle's true intent in making the tender offer was to undercut PeopleSoft's business operations by disparaging PeopleSoft's products, services and future prospects" as well as to interfere with the J.D. Edwards deal.

On Thursday, J.D. Edwards filed two suits of its own against Oracle, and PeopleSoft's board formally rejected the Oracle bid.

"By making an offer with the acknowledged intent of eliminating PeopleSoft's business, Oracle seeks to disrupt PeopleSoft's efforts to complete new sales, thus effectively damaging PeopleSoft's business even, if Oracle never buys a single share of PeopleSoft stock," PeopleSoft CEO Craig Conway said in the statement.

In a statement, Oracle criticized the latest lawsuit.

"PeopleSoft seems to have revived its on-again, off-again litigation strategy," Oracle spokesman Jim Finn said. "This matter must be decided by PeopleSoft shareholders and not by frivolous litigation."

PeopleSoft also faces a lawsuit of its own over the Oracle matter. A class-action suit filed Thursday in Delaware Chancery Court on behalf of PeopleSoft shareholders says the company's board breached its fiduciary duties in connection with its response to the Oracle bid.

In a filing Friday with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, PeopleSoft said it believes these claims are "without merit" and said it intends to "vigorously defend" against the suit.
