Have noticed a design problem with Windows 8 When you install some software which then asks for a reboot to complete installation - you say yes and it reboots fine, but installation doesn't automatically continue after you log back on UNTIL you click Desktop again This is okay for us who work in IT, but could be confusing for other users Surely installation should pop up and continue whether at desktop or windows 8 start screen Looks like this issue is that UAC is waiting for you to say yes to continue - and the UAC prompt doesn't appear on Start Screen - so as soon as you click Desktop the UAC prompt is flashing in the taskbar waiting for you Darren Rose View…

Hello, On my new PC: HP Pavilion p6-2310 supplied with Win 8 64 bits, I added 3 partitions.

Since I have windows 8 are my landscape photos automatically upright. I could adapt this used in windows viewer instance, but this no longer works. Now I need a special program startup (Ashampoo Photo Commander) to the pictures properly set. This is due to the placement of the photos on the internet. Is there something in windows 8 possible that the photos can be displayed as the digital camera coming and that I can put it himself? The pictures are in Windows automatically "correct" error when I upload them they are wrong. Very very annoying. In previous versions of Windows, I had no problems here. I understand than Window…

Have a windows 8 pro computer that I took off the domain. After rebooting the only login option is the last logged in user. This is a domain account that, of course, can't login. How do I get this to allow me to login as the local administrator? I cannot get into windows at all. Fixed. Had to boot to safe mode, hold Shift while clicking Restart to get the support menu, (thanks Microsoft for making this more difficult than it needs to be) and enable to the hidden administrator. Then I was able to see the account on the login page and get into windows. View the full article

I am trying to customize Windows 8 All Apps screen by adding folders and shortcuts via File Explorer to the folder C:UsersXXXXXXAppDataRoamingMicrosoftWindowsStart MenuPrograms. The new items does not appear, even after reboot, in the All Apps screen. If I add folders and shortcuts to the folder C:ProgramDataMicrosoftWindowsStart MenuPrograms then they appears in the All Apps screen. I want to customize the All Apps screen per user. How do I do that? View the full article

OS: Windows 8 Pro x64 Resiliency: Parity 5 Drives (WD 3TB x 3, WD 750GB, WD 500GB) Using 6.67TB of 8.86TB pool capacity Today I arrived home to find that there was an issue with one of the drives in my Storage Spaces pool. The disk displayed the error 'Warning stale, enable pool'. After rebooting the workstation the disk is now displaying the error message 'Warning Disconnected reconnect drive'. The drive is spinning up and appears in the 'Safely Remove Hardware and Eject Media' menu in the taskbar. The LED on the drive is also flashing as though data is being read/written from/to it. Am I able to simply format the drive and add it back to the pool? Will this re…

I am have a Acer Aspire 5220 running windows 8 pro, I recently installed the graphics driver. Upon reboot the start screen (with all the apps) disappears and I am left with just a blank backround. I can switch to the desktop but I cant access the sidebar. When I click on the system icons the computer freezes up briefly then nothing. The computer was running ok before but then it booted up to a black screen with a moveable cursor. So I refreshed the computer using a recovery disc. The display drivers were deleted so I downloaded new ones and now I have this problem. Also the computer runs slow. The display adapter is a Nvidia 7000m. View the full article

3 month old Dell OptiPlex 3010 desktop that is exactly the same as 10 others in our office. Yesterday, our LAN went down due to AT&T DSL problems. When it connectivity came back, we were unable to sign into this particular PC. We continually got the "PC offline....Use last known password" error. The last known password never worked. Although, we could log in via the Admin account without problem and it had full internet connectivity. Also, within the admin account, I could sign into that user account via the web/Office 365 Live using the password without any problems. I reset the user password to Microsoft supplied temporary password via the …

When Windows 8 starts it show me a screen full of irrelevant tiles and I have to find the only useful one there, the desktop, and click into that before I can do anything useful for my job. How do I get windows 8 to start up with the dekstop app already running so I don't have to waste time each time I start my computer to make it useful? I'd really like windows 8 to help me do my job and not just make more work for me each time i use it. Cheers, Mark. View the full article

I only have one Icon on my desktop and suddenly it has developed a major "blemish". It looks like this: It's the well known perfect disk icon. I cant see many icons but those that I do see seem alright. I have added the mode for eliminating arrows on icon and do not know where this is coming from.
