Korean IME has an English mode and a Korean mode within the IME. In every version prior to windows 8, the system would start in english mode (within the Korean IME it would show the icon A, and typing anywhere within Windows will type english characters) and pressing right alt would toggle between the Korean (한) and english (A) on the icon. Starting with Windows 8, the computer will start in Hangul mode (한) in the Korean IME area. My question is: is it possible to either add a feature to start Windows 8 in English (the 'A' icon in the Korean IME) instead of it starting in Korean mode (한)? Note: All versions of windows (98, XP, Vista, and 7) start in English mode (the …

This definitely looks like a bug. Many emails contain a separate field for the email address to reply to, which may be different than the address that sends the mail. Unfortunately, the mail app doesn't honor this field and will always send replies to the sender's address. View the full article

I installed Windows 8 Enterprise on my work laptop, created a local account and got all the drivers installed. I added my live account which is a gmail account, no problems adding it. The first time I tried to login, I got an error that I need to be connected to the internet or something. I was connected hardwired and had a valid connection on the local account. Couldn't get it to work. I ended up throwing an SSD into it and reinstalling windows. Now when I even try to add my live account or link it to my local account I get this error: Sign in with a Microsoft Account. We're sorry, but something went wrong. Your account wasn't changed to this Microsoft accou…

I recently bought a laptop with Windows 8. However over the last few days I have noticed the space on my hard drive gradually reducing when I am not adding anything to the hard drive. I noticed today the hard drive space reduced by 1gb when I emptied the recycle bin (only deleted around 10mb of data). Is there any reason why this might be happening? View the full article

Sometimes my applications (Adobe reader, Windows Live Mail,...) refuse to open files encrypted with EFS (error messages like "...cannot open...seems to be corrupted..."). I now found out that it helps to perform a simple reboot to regain the required access. But when I decrypt such a file before, it's no more usable even after a reboot. Since I've repeatedly encountered this on different machines, I start to think that there may be a bug in EFS which might even lead to data destruction - something that I want to avoid of course. The question for me now is whether I missed something that I should have taken care of, or if I should stop using EFS complete…

Okay having the same problem. I don't know about computers but it seems there is some sort of problem with the system. I've tried everything. I bought my laptop with windows 8. I think Windows should supply a fix. Why isn't it taking responsibility for a fix? Why is it up to the customers to sort it on their own? Next time I'm getting a Mac. Half of the other problems I'm dealing with are because Microsoft doesn't seem to have the ability to make software that is compatible with it's own system. View the full article

On the last couple days i noticed that my Win8 Mail does not show any of my emails from any of my accounts there. Not sure what is going on or how to fix it. The folder selection panel seems to update, but the email selection does not show anything nor does the email body panel itself any idea how to fix it?

I used the windows 8 install wizard and selected the "Just keep personal files" setting. After installing windows 8 I noticed my program files folder is almost completely empty, just some things that come as standard. Everything that I installed before the update had disappeared completely, but they must still be somewhere on the hard drive, because it has exactly as much free space as before. Is this normal? Is there any way I can still access my old installed applications? MSI GX660r Intel Core i5 CPu M 480 @2.67GHz Windows 8 Pro 64 bit ATI HD 5870 View the full article

Understand from some forums that Windows 8 will not be having the convectional approach of coming out with SP1. How will the patches work for enterprise if there won't be a SP1 release for Windows 8? Can someone from Microsoft verify that this infomation is correct? Does it means, likewise for Windows 7, there will not be a SP2 for Windows 7. It will be taking the same approach as Windows 8?

Hello: Before I go to bed here after messing with this half the night, I can't install Window 8 Pro over the existing Win 8 non Pro on my new Toshiba Satellite laptop. It's ridiculous. I really don't care what's on this HD from Toshiba. I formatted it anyway so it's gone. This laptop has the ability to work with SLAT or virtualization. I need to enable hyper-v which is on Win 8 Pro. But Win 8 Pro will not overlay the existing O/S even after I booted off of the dvd and went through the install process on a format and install from the upgrade dvd. When looking at the O/S description about Windows 8 after the install, it says it just Windows 8 and not W…

I recently upgraded from Windows 7 (64bit) to Windows 8 Pro. At my start screen I can not search my computer by just typing. Nor can I search my computer from the search in the charms menu. When I try to search for files, programs and apps on my computer it automatically says "This app can't be search." I have tried rebooting and it did nothing, please help. -Dave View the full article

I update and save quite a few files each day, and I can see in File History that there are many saved versions for these files. This would fill up my backup drive fairly quickly, and therefore, I need to reduce 'Keep saved versions' from the default of 'forever' to about 3 months. But does this mean that all files older than 3 months will be deleted my File History backup? What happens to all my files that have only ever been saved once, but are older than 3 months? Are these retained in File History or deleted? The forums on File History do no make this very clear. View the full article
