I'm not sure what caused my problem, when I re-install I shall check after each thing I install/activate/crack and try and find the cause. Might take a long time. I wish windows could be re-installed like OSX leaving all programs in place. I have used a version of kmsmicro on another box recently to activate windows and office and that one's fine. Mike
Well, two days later... First i did an entire reset, took hours, system worked fine, installed everything, did not get into the office stuff activators, and again same thing, cannot enter user control. did a refresh as i thought i did something wrong, and now, same thing again. Don't really get it. i am not really running any cracked software that uses patches or anything that should tamper. at least i think. I can acess all these settings in "the old way" as in going into computer management and then changing settings about users in there, but i cannot change the behavior of windows update... so this is where i am at right now. any ideas ?
Try troubleshooting this, therefore hit the Win-Key and start typing "trouble...", the choose in "Settings" "Troubleshooting". In the next window under "System and Security" it´s "Fix problems with Windows Update".
Cool, thanks I will. I started having trouble with the graphics so now iv done a factory reset with the manufacturers default image, so hope things will smooth out now also will try to check windows update user control settings after each update/install I do to determine when it actually happens.
Hi, thanks for your reply, it is strange as it seems like this is somehow related to the installation of office 2010/2013, it is after the installation this problem seems to arise. EDIT: also, you are right, my retail activation did not get touched, still got the original, many thanks for clarifying. Not saying it has anything to do with your activator, maybe i am getting "hacked" versions of office or something. Would it be possible to get a referral of a good link to office 2013/2010. Iv also used your "proper" activator downloaded from this forum. many thanks.
Sweet, got it all working, no errors in the user control. thanks, now... i am logged in with my MS accoutn in office 2013, any problems there ? it also says that i cannot log out when i try to log out in MS. Can i update or should i not ? thank you very much for your help. I used the manual activation method described in one of the links you gave...
No experience with that so far, due to i don´t use the accounts neither for Windows nor for Office. But good to hear it worked at least .
you should not encounter any problems with updates so far. As your are only kind of legal, future will tell ...
ok, sweet, now i have one more question, when i opened word for the first time the little popup came up about what settings i want to use for update, i hit, ask me later, at least i think i did, and now i cannot activate it, in "file->account" there is no option to hit update. Anyone know about this, how to activate it ?
got it, had to go on some page on ms, ok, i think all my software issues have been resolved. Thank you so much for you Guidance, i really apreciate it, its been fun
