can I have a tile in windows 8 for facebook and twitter? Also, how can I add a device in the devices on the right side?

I would like to a tile on the homescreen of Facebook and Twitter (I don't see an APP for either).  I can do this and if so, how?

How can I add a device to the peripheral icon on the right side?

Dear NelliBli46,
Welcome to the Microsoft community!

Question 1: For Facebook and Twitter tile question.

You can get your Facebook account and Twitter RSS directly on your screen to start using applications Photos and people.

  • I can't add a component from the Add Remove program window as says could not initialize winxp

    I can't add a component from the Add Remove program window as says could not initialize winxp

    My victory is xp professional ver 2002 service pack 3

    It's usually easy to fix, but if you removed all the dll and inf files, you can have a bunch of other problems that you have not yet discovered.

    If you mean when you try to use Add/Remove Windows components you see a message like this:

    Install was not able to load the master file.
    The application could not be initialized.

    This happens because this file is missing:

    c:\windows\inf\sysoc.inf

    There is no copy backup of this file on your system and run the System File Checker will not replace the missing file (sorry, that Microsoft committed Support Engineer 'experts').

    You will need to get a real copy of your XP bootable installation CD or from a reliable source.

    There's a copy on my SkyDrive, you can download - here's how:

    I downloaded a copy of XP Pro SP3 file you need on my SkyDrive (everyone has a SkyDrive for file sharing).

    You can download it and when you do, put a copy of the file in this folder (assuming that Windows is installed on your C drive):

    c:\Windows\Inf

    Here is the link to my SkyDrive and you can get the file you need here:

    https://SkyDrive.live.com/?CID=6a7e789cab1d6f39&ID=6A7E789CAB1D6F39! 311

    When you see the files available for download, you can not see the file extension (.exe, .dll, .cpl, .sys, .zip, etc.), but when download you them they will have the right extension.

    When you download the file (especially if you use Internet Explorer), when you get a chance to save the file, your browser is unable to save the file with an extension (by example, .exe, .dll, .cpl, .sys, .zip, etc) then you will need to manually add the extension appropriate to the file when you download the file before you save it.

    You can download the file without the extension, and then rename the file to add the appropriate extension.  You do not want to use a file named sysoc when the name of the file should really be called sysoc.inf (if the downloaded file has no extension, you will need to change the name of the file to add the appropriate extension to make it work.

    You must then copy and paste the downloaded folder appropriate on your system.

  • I have a HP Pavilion Windows Vista Home Premium, and the D: drive is full.

    I have a HP Pavilion Windows Vista Home Premium, and the D: drive is full. I don't understand how he got that way... but... I've never used windows to the top, however I do back up with my Norton Security.  I'm not a COMPUTER guru AT ALL and am very confused as to what must be saved for me to do a system restore.  I just made a backup on a 16 GB usb flash drive, which included photos, documents, email, contacts and music.  But what of my registry or my drivers I've updated on the latest updates of 2 years and windows?

    So in plain English for the layperson to the computer, lol, can someone tell me...

    1. where should I back up to? (windows, norton?)

    2. what should I back up? EXACTLY, please. lol (I have hundreds of games, I don't want to back to the top if possible)

    3 and... HOW MUCH ALCOHOL SHOULD I HAVE AVAILABLE WHILE TRYING THIS. LOL just kidding. Laughing out loud

    Hello

    Updates must be installed in a certain order and no Service Pack must be installed unless and until it is offered through Windows Update.

    However, try these options:

    Step 1: You can not reuse what already automatically downloaded and installed. You can however save updates and install them manually if you wish.

    Step 2: You can create a system image on the computer. A system image is an exact copy of a disc. By default, a system image includes the drives required for Windows to run. In addition, it includes Windows and your system settings, programs and files. You can use a system image to restore the contents of your computer if your hard drive or computer ever stops working.

  • The width of the preview in Windows Explorer screen can be hung on the left side instead of the right side?

    Whenever I open a Windows Explorer window, the preview window to adapt is questionable.  It is anchored on the right side of the window.  Sometimes it's fine, other times, it covers more important data like date/time and file size.  If I have it full screen on my wide screen, everything is great, but when I throw it in my smaller screen, everything must shrink.  Rather than shrink the preview pane, it allows the preview pane cover the most important areas.

    The width of the preview in Windows Explorer screen can be hung on the left side instead of the right side?

    I don't think it can be docked to the left.  I know that the sector details can twisted to put it on the bottom rather than the side (like Vista/7), but the preview pane itself isn't such a tweak.

  • I have a quick notification window pop up frequently, and it is just an unreadable flash on the taskbar notification area.

    I am running Windows Ultimate 32 bit. I have a quick notification window pop up frequently, and it is just an unreadable flash on the taskbar notification area.

    This is lightening fast and as I said, it cannot be read because it's so fast. I ran Windows Defender, SUPERAntiSpyware, Malwarebytes Anti-malware full scan with Norton Internet Security and Microsoft Security Scan and nothing came. Cannot know what is happening. Any ideas?

    Hello Chris,

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    I understand that you have any questions, an error on the taskbar.

    I would like to know some information about this problem to help you better.

    (1) you remember changes recently in the computer?

    (2) have you noticed if the pop-up appears only when access to a particular application?

    In the meantime, you can try to follow the following suggestions to solve the problem.

    Step 1: See the link to start in safe mode to start Windows with a minimal set of drivers and services to check if the popup appears in safe mode.

    Startup options (including safe mode).

    Step 2: If you are able to use the computer without pop ups in safe mode, I suggest you perform the clean boot because your system in a clean boot state can identify if all parties third party applications or startup items are causing the problem. You must follow the steps in the article mentioned below to perform a clean boot. See the link to perform the clean boot.

    How do I perform a boot in Windows

    Note: See "How do I reset the computer to start normally after a boot minimum troubleshooting" to prepare the computer to start as usual after a repair .

    In addition, open the link and follow the instructions to get the event logs, so that we can see which application is defective.

Same thing! I tried this several times. I'm really stuck! Can someone help with how this is solved; I follow online (two solutions) and tried both; not good! No matter what I do, I get the error! The rest of the applications say they are absent from the other files like this; It seems that there is something to do during the installation that keeps this issue alive!

    Run the command to check the file system once:

    Also repair Microsoft Redistributable packages from the control panel > programs and features.

    If not installed, download and install the Visual C++ 2013 package.
