After I updated to Windows 8, I have found that if my computer is left on for a long time, the keyboard will freeze up and I can no longer get it to work. I have solved this by quickly ending the task "fingertapps", but it is irritating to have to do this. Is there some buffer in "fingertapps" that fills up and keeps new keys from being recognized? Is there a way to take "fingertapps" out of the start sequence? View this thread

Hi!I have ATI Radeon HD 3400 Series (2GB Ram, Pentium R Dual Core CPU E5200 @ 2.5GHz , Vista SP2, 32 bit operating system. i dont know if thats important). The last few months my computer has been crashing when i watch videos or play solitaire, but not everytime except solitaire. It freezes, then green squares are everywhere, then it goes black and comes back on. I have updated everything as much as i can, i have cleaned everything as much as i can. It doesnt crash when i play proper games like mass effect, and that seems to work fine.DescriptionA problem with your video hardware caused Windows to stop working correctly.Problem signatureProblem Event Name: LiveKernelEventOS Version: 6.0.6002.2.2.0.768.2Locale ID: 2057Files that help describe the problemWD-20121231-1008.dmpsysdata.xmlVersion.txt View a temporary copy of these filesWarning: If a virus or other security threat caused the problem, opening a copy of the files could harm your computer.Extra information about the problemBCCode: 117BCP1: 87BB1510BCP2: 8AEB3D68BCP3: 00000000BCP4: 00000000OS Version: 6_0_6002Service Pack: 2_0Product: 768_1Do you think it is because i have low Ram?

Hi, I bought a new laptop came with Windows 8 couple days ago, and it is driving me nuts. When I tried to restart or shut down the laptop, it had a chance that &quotConfiguring Windows Features&quot would show up and waste me a lot of time. I have reset the whole system 2 times and it didn't help. Then I figured it out I should checked Event Viewer and see what happened. I found out that every time the&quotConfiguring Windows Features&quot showed up, there would be a error called &quotThe server {752073A1-23F2-4396-85F0-8FDB879ED0ED} did not register with DCOM within the required timeout.&quot And I found a solution for W7: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7itproinstall/thread/03452861-6d21-4f61-bbb9-56a5b8666a73 I didn't find RegistrySizeLimit on it so I created one myself I know the solution might not work for W8 but I gotta try. Actually, it worked, for two days, and it just happened again. The error and the &quotConfiguring Windows Features&quot showed up again I went back to check the registry and RegistrySizeLimit was still there, so I decided to delete it and try it again. This time I did a SFC/SCANNOW which I forgot last time, and it told me that some corrupt files were found and fixed. Then, I restarted..... Configuring Windows Features. Pleas do not turn off your computer. Someone.....help..... P.S. My Windows Update was up to date and I turned the auto update off. Still, no help at all. Also I checked the Windows Update and Windows Features after the configuration. Apparently, there was no changes made. Update: I found another error on the event viewer: &quotCBS Client initialization failed. Last error: 0x80080005&quot So this could be the problem too? View the full article

I have already set the power options on both the OS and the Vaio Control centre for my current power plan. The Event Viewer is telling me there is a Kernel-Power Event ID 59. How do I solve this and what does it mean? Many thanks, Jon View this thread

I suppose that in part, because I really want the start button to be back on Windows 8 that I am posing this question, but I see a feature here that would be nice and would satisfy me such that I would no longer care about a Start button. I've always liked the taskbar more than the start button but it is missing my favorite feature that was in the Start Menu. And maybe it isn't and that's what this question is about? How do I add an icon to the taskbar that will pull up a drop down of all the Microsoft Office tools (as opposed to putting each one on the taskbar)? R, J View the full article

I have Windows Vista Home Premium &amp use the Media Centre regularly. The Guide tells me I have only 3 days left &amp asks me to download updates which I do. This makes no difference &amp it still only updates to 1/1/2013. Have set up guide listings again but still no success. On the "About Guide Listings" page I note it quotes a start date of 1/1/01 &amp an end date of 1/1/2013. The EPG Version is quoted as 3.00 As a separate &amp continuing issue I find that Channel 5, although listed, does not give any data in the guide but I can still record from this channel using the add recording facility. Can anyone help please View this thread

Hi, Have been trying to get an answer to this issue for a couple of months now with no success......hope somebody can point me in the right direction!! The text of my previous (unanswered) post is here at http:// social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w8itprogenerl/thread/889d81b9-86bf-4c84-ad5f-21d852512636/#889d81b9-86bf-4c84-ad5f-21d852512636 this outlines the situation as I understand it! As far as I can tell, the issue has only arisen because of the non standard profile. In earlier versions of Windows paths could easily be reassigned through registry to restore any missing links arising from their default paths. In Windows 8 the addition of the modern UI Apps introduces a new variable for which I have so far been unable to get any information upon their association with registry default paths (if any) and just how they interact with each User Profile. If I had some idea of how to make the UI Apps recognise the non standard profile path (i.e. D:User) I might be able to restore functionality...... In short I wish to achieve the following: 1. Retain the (Primary) user profile location of D:User (NB. NOT C:UsersUser OR D:UsersUser) 2. Sign into Windows 8 with a 'Local' Account 3. Enjoy full functionality of the Metro Apps......especially the Windows Store 4. Sign In to the Store FROM my 'Local' Account submitting my 'MS Account' ONLY as and when required to actually 'Sign In' to the Store 5. Keep other (Secondary) user profiles located in D:UsersOthers NOT C:UsersOthers I hope this makes sense and would appreciate any responses which can either suggest a solution or at least explain how the UI Apps interface with the user profile paths so that I can investigate further why this is now working as it should. Many thanks in advance, PC Pilot View the full article

Hi My PC (which is only 5 days old) has had some issues since I first booted it up. It likes to either lock up or completely shut down and restart on its own. It does this at random times, never when I am actively making inputs (like say during a game) but it shut down when I was watching a 6 minute YouTube video. My drivers for my GTX 680 are up to date (310.70), and my Gigabyte X79-UP4 board has its Audio, Chipset, LAN, and USB drivers updated. I have install every update on Windows 8 to date. I also ran tests on my HDD and RAM and those tests showed nothing bad. I don't know what to do to fix this except try to downgrade to Windows 7. If anyone can help me, I'd greatly appreciate it, and I'll add additional details as necessary. My specs are: Intel Core i7-3820 Quad-core 3.60GHz Nvidia Geforce GTX 680 2GB Corsair Vengeance 32GB DDR3 RAM 2TB SATA-III 6GB/s HDD GIGABYTE X79-UP4 Intel X79 Chipset Quad Channel DDR3 ATX Mainboard View the full article
