I am using Windows 8 Professional and Visual Studio 2010 on a new laptop to develop Silverlight 5 applications. I am logged in as an Administrator and have set up the IIS 7 server with the same Administrative account. However, when I run Visual Studio and then try to launch the application on the IIS 7 server, I get the following error in Visual Studio. I do not think the issue is with Visual Studio. I meet both of the criteria specified at the end of the error message. Unable to start debugging on the web server. You do not have permissions to debug the web server process.

I am running Windows 8 Enterprise 64-bit on a Lenovo ThinkPad X230 laptop and joined to a domain. I have set up location aware printing (in Devices and Printers -> Manage default printers) to map to different printers between office and home. It works but with a glitch. It does the switching correctly if I put the laptop in Sleep mode when I leave office/home. However, with a shutdown/restart or a reboot, the "Manage Default Printers" setting would revert back to "Always use the same printer as my default printer". Am I the only one who has this issue?

I have a Windows 8 (x64) box that I get Access is Denied and error 0x80070005 when running the task. The task should run an EXE file. 1) This file runs fine on this computer if run directly from windows explorer instead of through scheduled tasks. 2) The same scheduled task runs fine from my Windows 7 (x64 and x86) and XP boxes. I've tried all 3 settings under "Configure for:", including Windows 8, Windows 7 and Windows Vista. Run with highest privileges is checked as well. I've also tried exporting the task to change the priority from 7 to 4. Any suggestions? Thanks! View the full article

Hi everyone, I have recently installed Windows 8 (RTM) and noticed that it generates thumbnail cache files locally ("Thumbs.db" file created in the local folder, as it used to be with Windows XP) instead of keeping the thumbnail caching features centralized as was the case with Windows Vista/7 (e.g. in the %LocalAppData%MicrosoftWindowsExplorer folder for Windows 7). Is there any way to change the thumbnail caching feature backed to a centralized fashion (e.g. by keeping some thumbcache*.db files somewhere in the user folder)? Some registry values changes, maybe? Just a couple of things: I am talking about a LOCAL folder (no network share with write a…

I am having a video problem with my Sony Vaio Laptop Model VPCEB490X that I just installed Windows 8 Pro on (Core I-5, 8 GB Ram, 320 Solid State Drive, ATI Mobility Readeon 5650, upgraded from Windows 7 Pro). Video will not play except in VLC. I have tried the following programs: Cyberlink Power DVD 12 Corel WinDVD Pro 11 Corel WinDVD 10 and Nero 12. None of these programs will play either a DVD, a Bluray or video encoded as a Media Center file. Further, Media Center does not play any video either. All these programs do is play the audio. The only programs that do work with video and audio are Real Player using its own format, Itunes using its own format, VLC med…

I have ran windows 8 since feb of last year and really tried to like it. I hacked around most things I didnt like (ie metro). However windows 8 rtm proved very unstable for me. At first I thought it was my overclock, but went back to stock and still the same unstablility. Updated drivers, downgraded drivers, tried it all. Here is the kicker, CP an RP on my hardware was rock solid but on rtm, unstable. So over the weekend i went back to win7 sp1 x64 and immediately was able to go back to my 4GHz overclock. Not a single problem since. So you cannot tell my i didnt give it a fair shot because i ran it almost a year. My question, what changed between rp and rtm? …

File History also stopped for me after only 5% progress reporting "Unusual conditions..." I don't believe its related to NAS or other networked storage issues as in my case I was storing to a second disk within the PC. By the was the application found this itself and recommended it. This is meant to be a simple proposition that any user with/without experience should be able to use. But it is not doing that. You are meant to have confidence in any backup software...that its purpose Backup and Restore in W7 worked perfectly for years for me and seems to be more reliable.

Hi all, I've problem with getting a program to start automatically with windows 8. I've added it a shortcut to it in "startup" buried deep in appdataroaming\MicrosoftWindowsStart MenuPrograms folder. But it refuses to start automatically. On my test rig, it worked (works) fine but on my main box, installed and setup the same way it doesn't. The program is called 'strategic setup' it controls my ancient but wonderful strategic commander game controller. I am admin and the only user and at a bit of a loss as to why it stubbornly won't play nice. I have removed the shortcut, rebooted, reapplied it and still it won't start, I also tried to get CPU-Z to start…

I am unable to burn CDR or DVD+R discs from Explorer. After inserting a blank disc and clicking Burn to disc, a dialog pops up - "Windows can't read the disc in drive X: Make sure that the disc uses a format that Windows recognizes. If the disc is unformatted you need to format it before using it." There is no option to format a non-RW disc. Uninstalling and reinstalling the drive from Device Manager does not help. I tried installing PowerISO, and it burns discs OK using the same drive. This PC used to have Windows 7, and there were no burning problems. Does anyone know what is going on here?
