A wee anecdote (w/ a moral): Now, to approach this in my own way & maybe, hopefully put a message across... People often ask me, what's so special about Windows8. OR, "I can't see any reason to want it over what I have" OR "that damned UI & those blasted APPs" OR why is it any better...

Hey everyone, I recently got an HP laptop from mom's work with Windows 7 Pro. She is a teacher and her school was giving away old laptop's to make way for the new ones. Thankfully, she was able to snag one for me, since my old HP died. The problem that I am coming up against is that I am...

Hey guys, I dual-booted Vista and Win 8. I created a small ~20GB partition where I have my Windows 8 Release Preview. Now I really like it, because Vista is really slow compared to any other OS. Windows 8 is blazing fast, but I have programs on my Vista partition. I make music so I use Ableton...

I created an Up To Date Image of her Win 7 HP OS for restoration if necessary. I would not think about this installation, or any major changes, without first creating an Image of the OS. I installed the 90 day Evaluation Copy of Win 8 Enterprise on my wife's PC last night, including all her...

After much research on this issue I am pleased to say I found a fix that works. This method may also work for other ATI radeon HD cards as well. Follow these instructions closely and be sure not to deviate to much from them. I just installed Windows 8 Release Preview on my laptop, and as...

I am running Windows 7 64 bit in a multiuser environment and one of the users needs 2 programs that, for some unknown reason, require administrative privileges to run. I am the administrator and when I am logged in I can run the programs, however, when the user attempts to run the program while...

I personally prefer windows 7 instead of Ubuntu, because we can install any software in windows which is external and in Ubuntu we cannot install any software externally but their is not any requirement of any antivirus with Ubuntu. Can any one help to sort out this conflicts things?

Hi everyone, I'm new in this forum, so I'm hoping I'm posting in the right place and with the right piece of information, but I hope someone will be able to help me. I've had a notebook (asus N51V with a T9550 and 4 GB of RAM with Windows 7 Ultimate) for over three years and I've not had any...

I apologize if this question has been answered somewhere else, or seems too simple, but everything I've been reading about repair disks/recovery disks/etc has me completely confused. After I got my new laptop, I installed antivirus, windows updates, etc, removed bloatware and installed the...

Ok, so I am new around these parts but I have a reason for singing up here. I have a Dell Laptop with a bit of problems and I think I know how to proceed but would like to get some feedback from forum members before I go spend a lot of time repairing the laptop. First a statement of the...

I'm new here, guys, so don't shoot me down in flames if this has been covered. I've checked the search, but didn't come up with anything the same. I've just re-jigged the Good Lady's PC - it had some sort of virus. Wiped it & re-installed Win 7 Pro. Put back most of the stuff that was there...

I've been having an ongoing (about 2 months) problem with my laptop getting the BSOD after returning from sleep mode, specifically when unplugging it. When returning from sleep mode, the screen will take longer than normal to turn back on and show the log in screen. After that, it seems like it...

I'm running windows 7 ultimate and am trying to install some software off of a secure server at a remote location to my hard drive. The install fails every time because the my user account (an administrator) does not have full write permissions to the program files directory. I have tried...

My 13 year-old has a fairly new laptop, (3 gigs ram, dual core) running Windows 7. I don't know if it's 32 or 64 bit. She is living with me after a divorce, so we both have little info. What happens is, it begins to boot into win7. After it reaches the animated Microsoft logo, it simply...

No Beta OS should ever be installed, except as, follows: 1. On a spare machine 2. Virtually 3. As a dual-boot. 4. Run from a USB stick Never as an Upgrade or replacement to an existing, current, non-beta OS. Never on a production machine. Nor, BTW, can one move from 1 Beta of an OS to the...

Hi all First time posting here but I made sure to read all the threads on how to post first so hopefully I got it all right. I've gathered all the information required for BSOD and attached the zipped file. I've got kind of a weird situation for my BSOD's. I'm using a Acer AO722-BZ610 netbook...
