In reference to a previous answer about an eee pc and windows 7 : The eee pc I have only has a 4 GB SSD. I do not have the disk for a reinstall of XP. It takes 3.93 of the 4GB. I cannot connect to the internet, first owner left out parts of XP to make room. Should I get a new install XP disk, and upgrade to an 8G SSD. Will a retail version of XP home work? You can find them, but it has to be a new full install disk, correct? I have the old key, but a new retail will have its own new key. View the thread

Is it possible to install Windows 7 Home Premium on an Asus eee pc 900(Celeron M at 900MHz). Memory has to be upgraded to 1 or 2 GHz, but will it install if I change the HDD from 4GB to 8GB (Its a SSD, but XP take up 3.93 of the 4, so it has to be changed). Its 2008 machine, can I do it? It was originally Linux, but previous owner upgraded to XP SP3. Windows 7 Starter a better choice? View the thread

Hello there, When I open the Weather app from the start menu it opens and shows me a message saying "You are viewving sample weather data. Please connect to the internet to see weather for your city". The same happen with all apps in the Start menu. Now if I open the IE from the taskbar in the desktop I have access to the internet however if I open the IE from the Start menu I can't access. Are them different Apps? I'm behind a firewall. I've configured the connection to Internet in the IE from the Task bar in the Desktop. Does I've to configure something else? What I'm missing? View the full article

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. Regards. View the full article

Hi all, Has there been any progress on getting Explorer in Windows 7, 64-bit to act like the good old XP days of "single click subfolders to expand them so they open and stay put in the left pane?" I know there has been a lot of complaints about how Windows 7 displays and handles folders and subfolders in Explorer, and at last count, MS is ignoring the issue. I've tried all available folder options, but they don't do a darn thing in 64-bit. Lots of folks are solving the issue with Classic Shell, but I really resist third party software. It sometimes wreaks havoc on the system. Thanks. - Lee View the thread

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

Ok, so I have my new Windows Phone 8 Lumia 920! Awesome phone, I have loved the 7.5, but anyhow, here is the issue: Syncing with Exchange 2010. Account set up. Emails appear, calendar appears, contacts do not appear in &quotPeople&quot. However, if I dial a contact I know, do I manually dial the number of someone in my Outlook contacts, the name appears, and if I view previous calls and click on the contact, it says it is part of my company's sync, and all the info is displayed. So the contact is on the phone, but I cannot view them in 'People'. How in the world does that happen? Yes, I have checked the filters, and the only one selected is the Exchange ActiveSync, and yes, I have checked the Sync settings and contacts are ticked. Yes I have set to factory defaults. So frustrated right now! All Idea's welcome. Thanks! CISSP, CISM, nCSE, MCITP, MCSE, MCTS View the full article

I had Win 7 Professional running under Fusion on a MacBook Pro. I bought a new Mac and deleted the Fusion partition and Windows from the old MacBook. I then used the same Product ID to install Windows 7 under Fusion on the new machine. The software will not activate because Microsoft thinks the old system is still active. How do I solve this problem so I don't have to buy a new copy of Windows? Thanks. View the thread
