I have just upgraded from Windows 7 to 8 and am seeing the same noise problem when I attempt to play something with the Windows Media Player. For Windows 7 someone gave a fix for the repeating noise bursts, but I don't know how to fix Windows 8. Playing from a CD or from Real Player Library does not show the noise bursts?

The background image appears, along with the large data and time, after first booting the PC. I can select a different lock screen, and that shows up when logged on and locked. But, after signing out, all that I see is a light blue background with the date/time, and no image. This is happening on two PCs, one on a domain, the other standalone. I have tried suggestions from other forums, such as select a new lock screen from "Change PC settings" (no, that's only for the current user), and changing "Force a specific default lock screen image" with Group Policy Editor, still no image after sign out. Has anyone else experienced this? Ideas for fixing the problem? View th…

Early in December 2012 I upgraded to Windows 8 pro from Windows 7 Home on my ACER s3-951 ultrabook (i7 processor). The system ran well for about 2 weeks. On December 15th, my system automatically rebooted to get a windows update. I could hear the computer from the other room. When I returned to the PC, the metro UI was frozen and was not responsive to input. Rebooting did not fix this. Switching to the administrator account, the Metro UI appeared to work fine. After asking on various message boards, I gave up and did a system reset. I followed directions from the ACER site and installed all the Windows 8 drivers for my system. I also created a brand new account for my …

Hello, I have a question: I have Windows Firewall disabled in W8 and when I try to install APPs from the Windows Appstore I obtain an error message saying something like: "The app couldn´t be installed because Windows Firewall service is not running. Enable Windows Firewall service and try again" I have the Firewall of Windows disabled because I already have another program for this purpose (monitoring/tracking my internet connections). So, that´s why I want to keep it disabled. Does anybody know if this problem is going to be fixed and in the next future we will be able to install W8 Apps with the Firewall of Windows disabled? Thanks in advance for the info. …

I have notice recently that when I have Firefox 17 full screen that none of the hot corners will work until Firefox has been minimized and even then some times you need to click on something else before they start to work again. I have the same issues on 2 separate computers. It never uses to do that before, so I'm not sure if it was a recently windows update or what. I have only noticed it with Firefox so far. Has anyone else ran into this issue? View the full article

Hi, Why do I have to enter the full name of an app in the search term of Apps Search in the start menu of Windows 8? For instance, I have installed "Tweetro". Search for "Twee" , "Tweet" or "Tweetr" results in 0 hits. Only "Tweetro" gives me the hit. Is there any way to configure this to report partial hits as well? Edit: I see from this blog post that he getsa hit on "Microsoft Word 2010" when searching for "Win". What? Why? And have they changed the functionality? I too have Word installed, but does not get a search hit on "win". I'm running Windows 8 Enterprise Evaluation View the full article

I understand the "Welcome Screen" on win 7 pro is the user name in the center of the screen with a place to put the password and "switch user" underneath it. I understand that the "Logon Screen" has Icons for each user on the screen plus an icon for "other user". I have a domain and some of my win 7 pro 32-bit machines after control/alt/delete go the the "Welcome Screen" so all I have to do is type in the password and hit enter. I have the same version of win 7 pro 32-bit on other machines and after control/alt/delete they first go to the "Logon Screen" where I have to man…

Hello everybody, I’m facing some trouble with Windows 8 Pro and USB disks in NTFS Everything works fine (reading, copying files) until I disconnect my disk: it still appears in the explorer and the devices manager The explorer starts going crazy as it still seems to try accessing it… After some time, all the Explorer processes running hang and I must reboot (hard reset as soft stays blocked on Windows closing) The issue occurs with USB keys, external hard drives or via docking stations but only for devices formatted in NTFS. The same key formatted in FAT32 works fine and can be disconnected with no trouble. I got the issue disconnecting the disk or ejecting it ‘…

I am asking for help in using the new interface. For instance if I have a folder called "imgDec2012" and I want to look in the folder for the file I want I don't know how to do this. Typing imagesDec2012 does not show me the folder as one of the things I can click on to narrow my search. Instead it shows me every file in the entire file system that includes "imgDec2012". The search does not show results of folders that match the search criteria. Of course all of this still works fine in the desktop mode but it seems the new interface should have some way of doing this as well. Another related problem is when I am trying to attach a file to an email either web based or …

I too am getting this problem. Every one of my many thousands of photographs is backed up twice, despite my never having changed them. It doesn't appear to be doing this for documents, or to photographs on my wife's profile on the same computer. Short of manually deleting them, or re-formatting the external drive and starting file history again, has anyone any ideas ? View the full article
