I've recently attempted to upgrade my motherboard. Everything powers on nicely but after the BIOS it says that there is no bootable device, I am assuming that my OS is locked in the old motherboard because of some copyright issue perhps. Is there any way around this? For example, unlock the code and then revalidate it to this new motherboard. View the thread

So I am having trouble with the following updates:- KB2726535- KB2758857After trying several times with the Windows Updater, which failed, I tried to download the first one from http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2726535. This also failed. It wouldn´t install the update. I tried to find a download for the second one, but couldn´t find it.After this, I tried to download the System Update Readiness on http://support.microsoft.com/kb/947821. It looked promising, but the installation stopped near the end and stayed there for over an hour. After trying to cancel it (waiting an hour for that), it didn´t respond anymore and it was forced quit. Trying to install SUR a second time (and any time after that) resulted in an 0x80240009 error. I tried to fix this by using the System File Checker, but that tool couldn´t find anything wrong with the system. I would really appreciate it if someone could help me with this. My PC is running on a 64 bit Windows 7 Home Premium.Thanks! View this thread

Using my Windows 8 laptop, I use two accounts. One is a domain standard user which I logon to the laptop with and the other is an administrative account which I only ever use in a Run-As context. Since moving to Windows 8 about four to five months ago, I am receiving regular UAC popups requesting that I enter my administrative credentials to make changes to the network configuration. I am connected to a stable wireless connection, so it's not a case of the connection is dropping on and off and causing something in the stack to require a restart. If I enter my credentials and accept the prompt, nothing changes, the network location, network type all remain the same and the pop-up reappears again. It's about once every fifteen minutes or so that this happens, but I've never timed it for sure. I have another Windows 8 machine which is a desktop, connected to a physical infrastructure and I do not get any of these same popups on that machine, so I must assume it's linked to something wireless. Is there a log file somewhere that tracks network events that I can use to try and determine what is causing this or is anyone else experiencing the same problems?

Hi y'all, I am a tad confused concerning backups, I just got my new HPp6320y/win7/upgraded mohterboard/2.7Gz cpu,64bit,8G-ram. HP suggests to immediately burn a recovery-re-boot disk,which I did. Then they strongly suggest to copy a system shadow restore disc using a external hardrive or external storage such as cd-rw discs, I don't quite understand if I can burn a system shadow using my existing internal disk drive or another form of storage such as USB drives provided they have enough capacity. So far so good, But when I first tried to burn a shadow/system using my existing built in internal disk drive, the only choice in the popup after clicking "burn backup of system" was my internal hardrvie. It did not respond to putting a disk in, so I aborted the back up until I could figure out if I was doing something wrong and fix it I realize my HP automatic back up restore points are done on a regular basis w/out me having to ask , once the partition space reserved for the various backups reached its full capacity, my system deletes the oldest ones to give room for new ones,correct? I also realize the purpose of having a system shadow is if your hardrive goes bad, you can restore your entire O.S &amp personal data to a new drive, so storing it in a partition of your currently working hardrive would not make sense if it goes bad, correct? So why, will my system not burn a shadow on a known R/W good disk freshly unwrapped? (I have 10 of these I bought still wrapped) Do I need to use a external remote disk player/burner? Also, I have a built-in factory removable pocket media drive that came out of my older HPa610n and it holds 160Gs, I have the proper connection and it shows up as a storage device when I turn on my new current HP. However, when I click backup a system shadow, it only shows my existing internal cd-drive as an option to where I am supposed to store my system shadow. Yet they claim I can use a USB device provided it can hold enough storage, I am truly baffled and feel a migraine coming on!!!! HELP!!! please....regards, boulonman View this thread

This important Defender update fails to load? View this thread

Every few keystrokes the focus changes to another open program or to the desktop (usually selects Recycle Bin). Something is running in the background that constantly does this. It is not the keystrokes that cause the problem as I can just watch it without touching screen or keyboard. Even when running apps, the focus changes from the field the cursor is in. This is sooo annoying. Also I cannot attach files to email messages. I have a gmail account and when I attach a file in the Mail app, all appears good till I try to send, app says I must remove the attachment before sending. I then go to Internet explorer app, open gmail and try to attach file, no errors but file never attaches to mail. I then try desktop-&gtInternet explorer-&gtgmail, when I try to attach file small window appears - Internet explorer has a problem and must close. This is a simple Word document no special formatting or protection. I have saved the .doc to a .docx format, checked all permissions etc. Same problem This is a new PC has Trend Micro Protection, all PC protection package comes from Sony with PC. Microsoft update is turned on and I installed updates today that came automatically. Focus problem seems worse than ever. Please HELP! View this thread
