I was experiencing some page rendering errors with IE10 on a new Windows 8 system, such as: Blank pages: http://validator.w3.org/ http://wordpress.org/ http://app.ecwid.com/jsp/1218004/simple-store No bullet points: http://twentytwelvedemo.wordpress.com/ After some deep investigation (there doesn't seem to be any way to roll back font installations other than a system restore[/b]. Removing the font files from the folder doesn't help, the issues remain with IE10. From what I've read online, installing fonts is just a matter of copying font files to WindowsFonts. Is this correct? How to uninstall fonts? (I can't find any Windows 8 related help info on the MS website…

Hello, I'm having some problems using the GDI+ BlurEffect on Windows 8, on both the 32 & 64 bit version. Everything works fine on Windows 7 or Vista but on Windows 8 when having a radius <20 the blur is only made horizontally, as soon as it increases to 20 or higher everything works as expected. This happens with both ApplyEffect & DrawImage, and I didn't test any other effects so I don't know if it's the only issue. One important note is that I use the GDI+ functions from C#, but as this works fine on Windows 7 I don't think this is very important. I checked this with a project I found on CodePlex, as it has similar code, and the issue is there too. You c…

I upgraded to W8 from XP and got a dual boot system with W7 and W8 as a result. After a while I needed to restore an image I made from W8 using Acronis and it turned out to be impossible. Whatever I do, Acronis will always rename drive C to F and that will be unbootable then (winload .exe misssing or corrupt). The old F is now C and has an older bootable version of W7 restored onto it, not the W8 i choose. I tried everything imaginable. Taking the C drive out, Downloaded a new default bios, Downloaded the latest Acronis software. The result is always the same. Now, my only other thought is that W8 wants to see XP present on the disk because that is where I upgraded i…

I've been having this problem for some time and finally looked into it this evening. I have a folder that I often write files too that never refreshes automatically without a manual refresh ("F5"). I had applied a fix to my XP computers at work a long time ago to help with DFS folders not refreshing and I found that this helped my problem in Win8. Here is the setup under which it occurred: Windows 8 64bit Enterprise The Downloads shell folder is redirected to a local hard drive called G: at G:Downloads. Note that G: is not a network drive - it is a local drive. And if it matters, G: is a mechanical hard drive (C: is a SSD). Open the Downloads …

Hi guys, In the gap between our new laptop model and Windows 8 release we purchased about 35 machines which came with a Windows 7 Pro COA. All the new laptops now come with a Win 8 Pro license. As we will be using a Win 8 Pro MAK to deploy Windows 8 for these machines, I have been tasked with purchasing Win 8 licenses for these 35 machines through the Windows 8 upgrade offer. My question is, legally speaking, will we be licensed to deploy Win 8 Pro using the MAK key's we currently have if the Win 8 pro license is purchased through the upgrade offer? So instead of 'Purchase laptop with Win8 Pro --> Deploy using MAK key' It will be 'Purchase laptop with Win7 …

Hi, I had windows 7 working fine on my Dell Inspiron 15N laptop for more than 2 years. Recently I upgraded my OS to Windows 8. Its working fine as far as the routine operations are concerned. But I am facing this issue - Whenever I close the lid of my laptop to just put it to hibernate mode without manually doing it via Settings, the laptop restarts itself next time when I come back and press the power button. It does not come back to the state I left it in before closing the lid. This issue is happening to me again and again for past 2 weeks. Also, when I try manually put the laptop in Sleep /Hibernate mode and press the power button it comes back on without any issue…

Hi, For some reason, tel: links on my pc are now opening in Google Chrome. I would like to restore the association with Lync, but when I go to Control Panel -> Default Programs -> Set Associations and click on the URL:Tel Protocol, I get a dialog that gives me two options: 1) Keep using Google Chrome 2) Look for an app in the Store Is there a way to select a program that is already installed on my PC (Lync in this case)? (note: if I choose 2 I'm presented some applications, but no way to restore or search for Lync) Thanks, Paolo Paolo Tedesco - http://cern.ch/idm View the full article

I have monitor and TV. Both are Full HD. Main is monitor. I don't know how, but start menu appears on the TV, (by pressing win key). I guess there is no check which monitor is the main. I opened PDF file with "Reader" app, and it's opens on TV. So i must use win+p to change mode to "one monitor", and back to fix this. P.S.
