Ever since upgrading to Windows 8 it takes a long time to establish a direct RDP connection to Windows Server 2003 or Server 2008. From Windows 7 it used to take about a second. With the Windows 8 RDP client it takes about a minute to connect to a server. Thanks in advance for any insights into this issue. View the full article

Hello, I have a problem with Speech Recognition. It's working fine listening to commands, and does as I say, however all it hears is commands. I've read somewhere that what it doesn't reconize as a command, is inserted as text. However, it takes every word I say as a command. If it doesn't reconize a command, all it says is: "What was that?". Does anyone know how to fix this, or perhaps an alternative for Speech Recognition? Thank you in advance. View the full article

Hi there, I have a really annoying problem on all of my Win8 laptops. Whenever fast startup is enabled, NumLock on the Keyboard is disabled on the Lockscreen. When I turn off fast startup or do a reboot everything works fine. This scenario is reproducible and definitely related to the fast startup setting. The InitialKeyboardIndicators Key is set up correctly. As you can log on to Win8 with a PIN this is even more annoying. Is there any other fix for this available then disabling fast startup? Thanks a lot! View the full article

Hi all, I'm having troubles with my PC (Windows 8) since the first day of 2013 when I came to work as usual, opened Winamp to play a song and and when I double-click the file the PC suddenly rebooted itself, on Log On there was no Error Notify, no dump file, no nothing and from that day I'm having reboots without a warning constantly, the next day still the same thing with winamp, after that the PC crashed when working in Outlook. Until the first reboot without a warning the system was working properly for more than 3 months (Windows 8), I've tried other RAM modules, uninstalled Norton Internet Security, checked the CPU temperature - all good around ~38, removed my U…

The new Windows Store Apps execution model is optimized for mobile devices, which means that the GUI frontend stops execution when it is not visible. It resumes execution when becomes visible again. This is completely unnecessary in desktop Windows 8, or a plugged in mobile device as a matter of fact.). The time it takes to re-symc the frontend with actual data in the backend, often takes too much time. This lag is not a nice UI experience. In cases when power usage is not an issue (desktop and plugged in mobile devices), the frontend should not be interrupted, but kept running as it causes no problems, but helps to eliminate the unnecessary lags. Does it makes sense? …

Today Windows Update gave me a list of non-critical updates. I proceeded to select them and install them. However, for the past nine hours the progress bar "Preparing to install..." has not progressed. When I click the Stop installation button it says "You need to provide administrator permission. To complete this task, you need to sign in with an administratrator account or ask an administrator to complete the task for you." How do I provide administrator permission? How do I sign in with an administrator account (mine is already an administrator account except that the name is not called administrator) without stopping this task? …

I tried to schedule a meeting using the Calendar Tile Windows 8. Help indicates that you can. It says use the "Who" field, which I am not seeing. Im guessing that it may not be showing up because I have no one in any people lest or email. So, if anyone has an answer... better yet a Youtube clip link would be good. Or, not implemented...have to have outlook...whatever. Also, I did not buy the Pro version this time. Thanks View the full article

I just got a new computer with windows 8 and internet explorer 10. My computer locks up and freezes all the time when I go to run a program, internet explorer crashes anytime I try to use it, and when I do get internet explorer 10 open, I cant open more than one tab because it will lock up and not load anything. Pages wont load and will just sit there for hours on end with a blank white screen. Is there any reason why this is happening? I downgraded to windows 7 for a while and all of these problems went away. So I decided to go back to windows 8 and all of these errors came right back. View the full article

Hi, I have a windows 8 workstation setup for testing. I am having an issue with the temporary internet files. When you login with a local user everything works fine, however as soon as I enable domain access and login with the administrator account the temporary internet files folder becomes locked. It becomes set to size 0 and is not usable. If I try to set a size it will only allow up to 10 and then once you close the properties and open it back up its back to 0. I have windows 7 and xp workstations with no issues. I have tried to change permissions but there is no permission tab on the properties of the folder itself. I am trying to determine else to look at…

Hello, I use a program (Beyond Compare) which has a Folder Compare module, with a function for doing a binary comparison between the files inside two folders. I use it to check the integrity of my backups, by comparing my main hard disk files, with the ones on the backup hard disks. If two files get recognized as being different, then one of them should be corrupt (if they didn't get modified "normally"). My question is: will this method work to detect real file corruptions? Will it detect any kind of corruption, both copy corruptions, and "bit rot" corruptions? Will there be no problem regarding read cache? I mean: if the first file to …

Who deleted the thread? Did anything I typed caused offense? What I was trying to say is that touch is not a virtue. It is a necessity to solve a particular evil, ie very small displays that were a compromise to achieve mobility on cellphones. When screens are very small, to see the content you want to see, there has to be continuous zooming in/out and panning. Touch is the best option for this right now. If you have used the joystick on the old Nokia E-71 you will understand me perfectly. Microsoft shouldn't be blindly chasing touch just because Steve jobs looked cool demonstrating it on stage. Touch, as I had illustrated earlier, is a drawback in most other sit…

So does this device actually work well on Windows8? Win7 it was "usable" but not "magic". I hate mice, but they are super accurate pointing devices, the magic trackpad (when I breifly used one on a friends Mac) is the only trackpad type thing (that I've used on any laptop/desktop) that comes close to being usable as a total mouse replacement, but it would be nice if it did more than just the pointing, and that you could take advantage of the gestures without having to reach out and touch the screen (for example when you have your tablet Win8 machine docked). Asking because I can't find mention of this anywhere on the net and I don't wa…
