Hello, I'm running a dual boot system between Windows 7 and Windows 8. In Windows 8 Defragment and Optimize Drives neither 7 or 8 partitions are showing. One physical HD partitioned with 3 primary partitions. The very odd thing is that the System Reserved partition on the same physical HD is showing but neither Windows 7 or Windows 8 partitions. All three partitions show in Disk Management and marked as online. I can see them fine from Windows 7 in the Defragment and Optimize Drives. View the full article

I have Windows 7 on its own drive and Windows 8 on its own drive. There is not a dual boot menu, I bios select. Each OS is hidden after booting. I removed the drive letters for the other OS. After creating a restore point in Win8, I can boot back into the same Win8 OS and the restore point is still there. When I boot to Win7 and then go back to Win8, there are no restore points at all, all gone. Why is this happening? I don't want to hear how restore point is not the best way, etc... Thanks!

I have tried most the fixes for this issue, and it is sad very sad. I had some hardware problems complicated by software problems and it seems like there is no upgrading from Win7 to Win8 that is worth all these problems. I'm running a 64 bit AMD Quad Core CPU with 8GB Ram and upgraded to 64Bit Win8. Talking to tech support at another firm and they weren't able to distinguish between a software and hardware problem. Moving on past that, the recommended solution was to refresh win8. That didn't go well but it did isolate a bad video card, once the card was replaced, I found out on the refresh I lost all my Outlook emails, folders, contacts. I already jumped through…

My sister recently got a laptop with windows 8. The laptop model is Toshiba Satellite C855D-S5320. She's had it since Wed. March 6th 2013. The past 2 days this error has occurred twice, once during the night while the laptop was left alone. The best she was able to describe the error: "A message with a frowny face stating Windows has encountered a problem, gathering information and a counter that counts down from 50 seconds then the laptop shuts off or restarts" The only changes made to the laptop was uninstalling some useless junk-ware that came pre-installed (wildtangent games, etc), and the installation of firefox, malwarebytes (not pro), spybot s&a…

Hello. I am experiencing Windows session crash when hit 64k limit of GDI handles. After some investigation, I found steps of session crash. 1. When hitting the theoretical limit of GDI handles, DWM crashes. 2. Windows 8 tries to restart DWM.(and fail, of course). 3. After some fail to restart DWM, Windows 8 terminates entire windows session. 4. Windows back to logon screen and I lost all work. In Windows 7, Windows does not try to restart DWM so I can close some windows and then restart DWM. But in Windows 8, as steps I posted above, I can't avoid session crash/lost work. As a result, I cant use Windows 8 for work. I don't think increasing Windows gl…

I'm really trying Microsoft to use and like this piece of crap OS. I been using Windows since the DOS days. Navigating this Metro user interface does not work with out a lot of back pedaling and having to start from the beginning. Back button on your mouse should just take you back one step to where your where before clicking. Holding your mouse button down and swiping your cursor should allow you to move the screen content instead of draging a cursor bar. Was this thing rushed to production without fine turning or did you (Microsoft) not listen to the input from beta testers? I mean, come on! View the full article

I have Win 8 Enterprise 64bit installed with Office 2013. When I open the windows update program, the update windows says "You'll receive updates for windows only". The "change setting" option only gives me the choice of installing recommended updates the same as important updates. If I go to the "find out more" link. it just tells me to go back and "Enter Windows Update in the search box, tap or click Settings, and then tap or click Install optional updates." I've done this several times but it still says "windows update only". Any suggestions? View the full article
