My keyboard layout is Dvorak. There is only one user on my computer. It works fine in Windows 8. But it does not activate until after I sign in to Windows. For the login screen, I have to type my password in QWERTY. Is there any way to have Windows 8 change the keyboard layout to Dvorak before login? View the full article

I've seen a lot of posts about this topic, but I haven't seen a simple, definitive answer. The simple question: is there a way to get Metro apps to run when logged in using the built-in domain admin account? I do not want to &quotcreate/use another account&quot as so many answers to the question suggest. I just want to get the domain account working. I support a couple of small businesses, and I typically use the domain admin account to do support. However, on Windows 8 machines that are members of the domain, if I use that account, Metro apps won't run. I don't want to get into a religious war about whether or not I should be using the domain admin account. I just want to be able to do my job. Thanks! Brad. View the full article

Hello, I have a very annoying problem on Windows 8 Enterprsie 90 day trial. After the boot screen, my laptops screen turns off. I had this problem on consumer and release preview but it seems like developers don't care. My computer is an MSI CX640 with and Intel Core i3 2310M with an Inteld HD graphics 3000, and it also has a nvida gt520m. I read about this porblem on other sites, and forums, that people have this problem on other computers with simular config too... On the other hand Windows 7 works great on it and it's only a one year old computer, so this is very unfortunate. It's very bad to find a bug like this in an RTM state operating system.

Hi, can we have some official statement on the built-in Mail App support? I am using RTM x64 Enterprise. I am able to connect to one of my Exchange 2010 sp2 setup without any problem. We are using Public CA cert. I am not able to connect to my office Exchange 2010 sp2 setup. It is using Internal CA cert with client certificate authentication. I have imported the CA cert to the trusted CA store and import my private cert into my personal store. But adding the server manually result in a generic error &quotUnable to connect, ensure the information is correct&quot. I am very sure that the information is correct as I can connect from a Windows 7.5 phone with the same cert imported. So does the mail app support client cert auth? Is there some sort of log we can use for troubleshooting? Cheers View the full article

Hi Everyone, I have been searching and cant seem to find how to install Windows Media Center on my Windows 8 Pro (RTM). Does anyone have any ideas?

Good morning everybody, As an Intern at MSR I download win8 rtm image from the network and install it on a Lenovo x220 laptop. After sleep mode network connection doesn't recovering automatically. On a the left charm panel I can find that &quotI already connected&quot but on a button network icon tell me that I have no internet connection. When I try to disconnect in charm panel all looks all right, but when I try to connect again on that charm panel it show me that I can't connect to the network. it's looks' like I didn't disconnect .... I know how to fix it manually - try to connect to another network and after reconnect to my network back- but anyway it's not the right behavior of the network charm panel!!! Do you know about this critical bag and can you help me to solve it? If you need some screenshots or look at my laptop- I'm at 115 building till 24 of August. Igor. View the full article

I've restarted multiple times and still no luck. I checked for solutions on microsoft forums, one sollution I found was to update defender first, I do this and it tells me defender isnt installed. I cant install it because the installer says it comes with Vista ( updated from vista to 7 ). View this thread

Ik blijk niet de enige te zijn die door Microsoft met dit probleem geconfronteerd wordt. Als ik systeemherstel toepas dan komt de printer weer beschikbaar maar na afsluiting van de computer wordt automatisch de update agent weer geinstalleerd waardoor de printer weer niet werkt. En zo gaat het maar door en door en door. Ik verwacht van de Microsoft experts een spoedig antwoord op deze ellende. View this thread

I am running Windows XP with Service pack 3. Microsoft Security essentials is the security system. When I try to run Windows Update using Internet Explorer 8, at the point the page is checking whether my system has the correct Updating Software, the page fails, eventually showing the message "Internet Explorer has stopped trying to restore this website. It appears the website continues to have a problem." This recurs every time I repeat the initial attempt, or click on "Return to microsoft.com" on the error message page. Is the problem with the Microsoft web page ( its address is www.update.microsoft.com/microsoftupdate/v6/default.aspx ) or on my machine? View this thread
