  1. Only recently I realised that I do not have Windows Media Player on this pc, which limits me from using a lot of options on my smart tv. I did try installing it, but everytime I do, I get a message saying that it is not compatible with my computer, when I chose the right options for windows 7 64-bit. View the thread

  8. Hello all. I am running Windows 8 on a new computer. For years I have maintained a simple text file where I store all of my user names and passwords. I use Notepad to open and make additions/changes. The first time I changed and tried to save the file under Win8, instead of just saving it, it brought up the &quotSave As&quot dialog box and aked what name to save it as. I clicked &quotSave&quot to save it as the original name and it told me the file already existed did I want to replace it. I clicked yes. I then got a dialog box saying &quotAccess Denied&quot, nothing else, no explaination. I checked the Secutity properties of the file and I have &quotFull Control&quot both as Administrator and User. Why is Windows not allowing me to make changes? Thank - Jim T View the full article

  10. Hardware: Dell Inspiron 1525 Laptop OS: Windows Vista Home Premium, SP2 Problem: Windows Update won't download the updates. The Windows Update window opens, it tells me I have 5 important updates and 5 optional updates, I click 'install updates' and the download process seems to start. The problem is that even though the activity bar shows has the green wave moving across it, the download never actually starts. The progress reports 0 KB and 0 Percent, and then just cycles forevers, eventually an Error Window pops up listing error code 80070570. I Googled than and located a Microsoft Fix It app for identifying and resolving problems with Windows Update, that I ran but still no joy. Please advise. Thanks much. Mark View this thread

  13. For some reason KB2736416 will not install after it is downloaded. Also, McAfee Internet Security quit working after it tried to update (at about the same time). I contacted one of their techs and he finally said there was a problem with NET Framework 3.5 SP1 and to contact MS for help. I get error code 641 when the installation of KB2736416 fails. Also I downloaded an update yesterday for windows Defender that installed successfully. I was also running IOLO System Mechanic and it has been telling me that it is repairing hard drive errors for quite a while. Any help would be appreciated. View this thread
  14. When trying to open some pdf files in Windows Reader I get an error 'can't open this file. There's a problem with the file format' - these files open fine with Adobe reader - which I don't really want to have if I don't need to. Is this a compatibility issue that hasn't been properly addressed in Windows 8?  View the full article

  25. I use a fingerprint reader to login to windows 8. If I lock the desktop it shows a screen with an avatar, my name and &quotLocked&quot. If I click the avatar i wind up logged in and back at my desktop- i don't have to enter my password or scan my finger. Another user on this laptop doesn't use the fingerprint reader to login and when she locks she gets a similar &quotLocked&quot screen but has to enter her password to get back in. Any ideas?
