I have tried to get any screensaver to work in windows 8 and don't know what the problem is. I select any one of them, preview them, set time and turn each on but none of them respond and screen just goes blank when screensaver should kick in. I am using IE 10.

i dont know why i feel the speed booast with upgrading to win8 does not feel significant on my notebook, but i wonder if microsoft could consider this feature suggestion to alleviate the loss of productivity and wait time i encounter during computer usage: have a system folder where some text files are placed. provide an option so that during shutdown/restart/startup (boot) the contents of the text file is displayed on the secondary display from the last known reading point. display a clock/date on the primary display. these serve more informational purposes so i can browse some educational or news documents when waiting so at least the dumb machine is letting me do som…

I recently upgraded my Windows XP SP3 to Windows 8, and I keep getting this DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE error when I start my PC from a full power down or from standby. I've updated as many drivers as I can for my hardware, so I'm not sure what is causing the problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/gpwvw6bzj3zbao8/9VzEIP2kCZ Rob View the full article

I recently upgraded a new Dell laptop to Windows 8 Pro (from Windows 8) to be able to join my domain (I am running Server 2012 Essentials) however I have not been able to compete any backups to the server (my other W8 clients do not have any issues). I get an error on the W8 PC stating "Insufficient Storage For Backup", but the PC is showing 651GB free of 685GB. When I look at disk manager this is what I see: <a href= I expected that I would see something like this from one of my other W8 PCs: [url=' alt='> [url='> I assume something is not correct here, which is causing the backups to fail, but I am not sure what the solution is. Any ad…

Well, it's a mystery to me! My box has 32GB of RAM and I am using about 16GB for Hyper-V Guests. The top row of Task Manager Process tab shows 48% Memory. That's seems right but when I arrange the memory usage column (below the title) in decreasing order I find the largest memory usage shown is 62.8MB. Everything else is smaller. I doubt the numbers in that column add up to 16GB. Why isn't Task Manager reporting accurately or maybe the question is: what is Task Manager reporting on? TIA, edm2 P.S. Task Manager does show the VMs but as "virtual machine connections" each taking up about 36.9MB. P.P.S The Details tab has a similar "memory&…

I've got Windows 8 64-bit, and it's been running fine for about 2 months now. Just today, it's started to crash the desktop every 6 seconds. The screen goes purple (which I'm pretty sure is just my chosen background colour), the outline of the taskbar remains, but all the icons disappear, and then everything returns, only to crash again in another 6 seconds. I've watched the task manager, and under "background processes", an icon called "Windows Problem Reporting" appears for about a second, and then goes away. I've looked up some other people's questions about this, and most people seem to recommend checking for updates, or installing n…

Hello, I have been using Window 8 Pro's "File History" feature for the past couple of months. However, I recently had to start over due to a Bitlocker Issue. I set everything the same as last time. Yet, when I navigate into File History's directory on the external drive (e.g., J:FileHistoryuserData....) I see that Windows is now adding a UTC timestamp on all the files, such as "familyvacation(2013_02_23 20_47_36 UTC).mov". My question is whether there is any way to remove the automatic addition of this time stamp information to the file name? I don't recall this being present on the initial FileHistory backup I initially did. Any…
