This is the first time I need to recover files from my file history backup. I noticed that the folders are all having the current timestamp, instead of the original timestamp. I expected it to be the same. In fact, I work a lot with those timestamps and it is very confusing having all the folders the timestamp as of now! Why is that? View the full article

I have notebooks with Windows XP Professional and Windows 7 Professional that are running 24x7 for months churning out heavy duty batch jobs daily, and there are no issues with those computers. No growing memory usage, no slowing down over time. I usually have to reboot only when Windows Updates require it. So they run fine for weeks and weeks without rebooting. However, when my notebook is Hibertated daily (when I go to bed and when I have to move from office to/from home), the performance of the PC will degrades over time. This is experienced on Windows 7 as well as the latest Windows 8 Pro. On my Windows 8 Pro, after a week or so of on/Hibernate cycles, the PC w…

I have tried a couple fresh installs of windows 8 to resolve this but with no luck. After installing windows 8 and running windows update my raid 0 array in the disk optimize tool are showing correct (ssd) but can not optimize. I then install intel rst drivers (tried 3 versions) and my media type for my ssd raid 0 change to hard drive. I contacted intel support but they say its a windows 8 issue as Intel control center knows my c drive raid 0 is ssds. Is there a way to correct this or manually change the media type to ssd?

I'm planning to buy a SD -> IDE adapter and installing Windows 8 on a 32GB SD card. Is that doable? If so, is the performance going to be slow like hell? It's going to be my file/media server so it doesn't have to be super fast. But it's a small form factor box (Shuttle) and I don't want to cram too many hard drives in it. View the full article

Windows 8 would not boot. So I ran a refresh. Well this worked however some issues occured after this. C: permissions changed and I had to give them from command prompt, booting to CD. Now windows applications are loading properly now. The only issue I have left is missing Windows Tiles. The default ones like skydrive, messenger, my computer, documents. They do not come up when you type to search either. Control panel I was able to get back by pinning the control.exe file. But this is quite the process for all apps. I did notice however that c:program fileswindowsapps was missing completely. I have tried to copy this folder over from another windows 8 machine to see i…

I have a 128 GB Microsoft Surface Pro (win 8 pro) with a 64 GB microSXDC card inserted. The card was formatted using NTFS with the Surface Pro and mounted as an NTFS folder I'm able to read/write to the card without issue, but the volume (or the mounted folder) does not appear inside Windows Backup for me to back the data up. I've also tried with the card mounted as a lettered drive (D:) with the same outcome. My WHS v1 server DOES seem to back the data up when it's mounted as an NTFS folder, but when I try to view the contents of that folder in the backup I'm informed I do not have the necessary rights. Despite the WHS Connector running successfully and many attem…

Okay, I've had this issue since I upgraded to W8 from 7 a couple months ago, and I've been getting by basically using 8 like 7 with an extra UI that doesn't work, but I thought I would post here to see if someone could help me figure this out. Like the title says, my windows 8 store app will not open. It reacts when I click it, but then doesn't do anything. Whenever I try to launch it, the event viewer shows an error "Activation of the app winstore_cw5n1h2txyewy!Windows.Store for the Windows.Launch contract was blocked because of a temporary issue with its license. Try launching the app again in a moment." Also, I seem to be missing the other Windows 8 a…

Hello, I'm a newbie to Windows 8, so please bear with me. I can log in to our company's Exchange 2010 server via Outlook Web Access on a new HP ElitePad 900, but once I'm in, a very basic task seems to be failing. In IE 8 or IE 9, when you double click on an email title, the email opens in a new Internet Explorer window. However, when I double tap the email title in either Metro mode or IE10 running in desktop mode (with the window minimized-i.e. not taking up the full screen), the web browser seems to infer that double tap means "zoom in to the current page a little bit." I'm guessing that part of the problem is that I don't know the Windows 8 touch…

Boot straight to the desktop using Task SchedulerBoot straight to the desktopHere's how: Using Windows 8's own built-in Task Scheduler to bypass the Metro Start screen is a delicious irony.First, open the Task Scheduler by typing Schedule tasks in the Settings search or type Schedule Tasks on Start.Once the Task Scheduler is open, click Create Task under Task Scheduler Library in the Actions pane. Name your task "Boot to desktop" or something similar. Open the Triggers tab, select New, and choose At log on in the 'Begin the task' drop-down menu at top. Click OK, and then open the Actions tab, select New once again, and enter explorer in the Program/script…

Windows Media Player 12 from Windows 8 make filetype associations in registry like this: [HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionApplicationAssociationToasts] "WMP11.AssocFile.3G2_.3g2"=dword:00000000 or [HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionExplorerFileExts.3gp2UserChoice] "ProgId"="WMP11.AssocFile.3G2" Since WMP version from Windows 8 it's 12.9200.16384, I thought it would be right to use WMP12.
