After refresh .default folder can not be copied
by Guest Employee13- 0 replies

I had to refresh my HD, had to do it twice as it couldn't 'fix itself'. I put a new HD in and put Win 10 on it. I put the old HD in another laptop to try to save some Program data (Thunderbird data) When trying to move the thunderbird xxxxxxx.default file onto a thumb drive the system says the path is incorrect/folder and files are no longer at that location, locate the files and try again. The folder and all files show up in the path explorer shows me. I can copy this folder on the computer it is on, the one with the refreshed drive in it. But I cannot copy it to a thumb drive that has free capacity well over the size of the folder and its files. Any ide…

Can't upgrade to 8.1 from Windows 8
by Guest DenisByrne3- 0 replies
- 155 views
hi all, thanks for taking the time to read this and help me find a solution. I've been trying to upgrade from Windows 8 to Windows 8.1 with no luck. I just purchased an older laptop with Windows 8 installed and want to upgrade to 8.1, but the download link in the store says I need to perform updates first. However Windows update shows no available updates (my understanding is that Windows 8 is not supported at all). I've searched with Google and all over the forums here but can't find an answer. How can I upgrade to 8.1? Thanks to anyone that can help. Continue reading...

I have an HP Pavilion laptop with Windows 8. Recently when I click the power button under settings, and then click shutdown, the computer says it is shutting down but it ends up going into sleep mode. I tried turning off fast startup option under power settings, didn't help. Tried restoring to several previous restore points and they all said I had a corrupted file on disc C. Checked for corrupted files on disc C with Windows scan, no problems reported. Any ideas about whats going on? right now I have no way of shutting down without forcing it. Could this be virus or malware? Continue reading...

Would replacing hard disk in my Samsung notebook computer w/windows 8 pre-installed cause it to need reactivation?
by Guest MarkEO220-1- 0 replies
- 163 views
Back in March of 2013 I had purchased From Fry's Electronics in Phoenix Arizona a Samsung Notebook Series 3 computer model NP-350V5C-T01US. It came with Window 8 (NOT 8.1, which I had stopped it from updating to) pre-installed on it. In its small "User Guide" manual that came with it, it gives instructions about how to upgrade the hard disk to a larger one, stating that it is an easy thing to do by making the backup copies and then restoring them onto the new drive that's connected via USB and then simply swapping it in place of the original hard disk. It makes it sound simple, giving somewhat-detailed instructions on all of the various steps involved, and there is nev…

USB ports not working?
by Guest SteBarnes- 0 replies

I was working over the weekend when my old mouse randomly stopped working, I thought nothing of it and assumed it would be a fault in the wiring and that the laptop isn't able to read the mouse, and so I ordered a new wireless mouse. Today I plugged the new mouse into a USB port, the laptop installed the relevant driver and I was expecting to be able to use my new mouse. The USB port recognises when something is plugged in, and makes the corresponding jingle when something is plugged in, however the mouse itself isn't working and now I believe it has nothing to do with mice and more to do with a faulty laptop. So, I went into the troubleshooter for devices …
