What you say makes no sense and I question the validity of these comments.  Update to Windows 8.1 will do more good than harm.  Very few people who have updated have experienced problems, so comments to keep your receipt no logic.

Here's something you can do.  Download Macrium reflect free and create a hard disk image on an external hard drive, don't forget to create the rescue disk.  Once done, update your system to 8.1.  If you have any problems, then you will be OK.  If it doesn't work or you have problems you can restore the backup of the image on your system that will put the computer to Windows 8 with no ill effects.  An image backup of your system from time to time is the best thing you can do.  You will have no problems with the help of recovery disks, reinstalling programs and data.  Many people use this method and have no regrets.

Don't be afraid of it, it is a very useful tool.

    How can I stop the automatic task of cleaning my trash

    Hi Alice,.

    For each drive on your computer certain limit space is assigned for the trash. If you delete a file that is greater than the allocated space, this file will not fall to the trash after deletion.

    To manage this space, right click on Recycle bin select Properties, on the general tab, under the section selected location setup check the custom size and keep the size you want. If the following radio button is checked then when deleting files it will go not to trash gets it deleted directly.

  • How to stop the automatic update to 8.0 (1?)

    Related to: installation of updates

    For awhile, I had received alerts asking when I tried installing 8.0 (or 8.1... I don't remember).  A drop down menu allowed me to select "Remind Me later".  It has happened from time to time, but was simply a minor inconvenience.  HOWEVER, recently these alerts is no longer offer me the option "Remind Me later".  My choices are 'Now,' 'One hour', 'Two Hours', etc.   The first time it appeared, I was intrigued by the absence of the previous option, but could not get control of my computer back until I got something.  So, I took 4 hours, expecting to be invited again.  Stupid thing embarks on an update in 4 hours while I was working.  I couldn't stop, so I stop it manually to my computer.  He then had to go a process to restore my previous version.

    How can I stop these propagandist automated facilities?  Not to be dramatic, but it feels a bit like my computer has a stalker!  It happened twice this morning, and I can just turn off my computer manually to stop the "recovery."  It's not ideal.

    I don't want window 8 (8.1?).  I've heard horrible things can happen.  I'm not a programmer, nor a hardware expert, so this is beyond my knowledge.  Anyone know how I can turn off, turn off, whatever, the automatic update unwelcome and unwanted?  Help me please!   «.. . for Dummies"level instructions please.  :-D

  • Captivate 9: how to stop the automatic progression of slides?

    I am very new to Captivate and I use 9.

    We want our projects to hide the skin of project so that the learner must always use the buttons on each slide that point us to the next steps to take.  I don't think not that taking the stop of the skin of the project of automatic reading of the project however. Place a button advanced or receded will do it automatically?

    Captivate 9 has many new features that may be useful for your lens, where my application to start a new thread.

    If you use the defaults of a regular button, it will run for 3 seconds and pause to 1.5 seconds. You can see clearly, when you insert this button in two places:

    1. On the timeline panel (don't forget to have it open all the time, this UI beginner he hides by default which is not a good idea): you will see the length of the timeline of button (to slide any longer to see the default) and you will see a vertical line thin at 1.5secs which is at the break (he has a break before this line symbol).
    2. In the properties panel, you will see the time and the pause time.

    If you don't want the buttons to pause the slide, you can disable this Pause feature in the properties panel.

    Since you mention the Next/back buttons, I highly recommend to use shapes with the functionality of a button. The reasons for this recommendation: take a look at this blog why I like the shape of buttons - 6 Captivate - Captivate blog once I presented a webinar for Adobe, only on form buttons. They can be used on master slides (but lose their integrated States, a bug in Captivate 9 which should be fixed) or put on the first slide and timed for the rest of the project. The screenshot was taken on such a form button.

  • How to stop the automatic zoom input / output when using my mouse?

    Whenever I try to do something that involves the use of the needle on my laptop the screen zooms in to the point where the text is too small for me to continue to work.  I use Ctrl-0 or select zoom from the menu and zoom out up to 100%.  This happens over and over again.  I can't do anything with my new computer - surf the web, check your emails, create/edit documents because I continually moved to a new resolution of the screen that is impossible to read.

    Your touchpad is probably a multitouch touchpad which is able to detect more than one finger at a time.  In fact, most of the new laptops that have these days.  If it is too sensitive, it can detect presses when you're not even touch her.  Sometimes my palms are considered to be the two fingers and enable this feature "pinch to zoom".

    Unfortunately, this is not a Windows control.  The hardware manufacturer who built the touchpads provides the software that runs it (the pilot).  Some creators of touchpad (as the Synaptics company) have a really robust software that includes a control panel to adapt it in many ways, including this sensitivity and even a few features such as a Palm check that tries to detect when it is not an intentional touch.

    You'll have to talk to anyone to build your PC or refer to the manual well because each business is different.  If you can display your PC name and model number here, I try to look as well for you.

  • Stop the automatic installer

    How to prevent a self-installing program? I am thinking especially of Adobe Acrobat Reader DC.  I have two computers, one at home and one at work.  I have Acrobat installed on one X, and XI Acrobat installed on the other.  I'm perfectly fine with these versions.  What happens is that CD player self-installing itself periodically.  The problem is that if I try and save a file with X or XI, CD player takes over and invites me to subscribe for $X per month in order to continue.  ****?  I paid for X and XI, and have no problem using these old programs write Acrobat files.  It is a continuous battle, and I have to uninstall CD player once a week or so on the two machines. How can I disable CD Player automatically install on my computers?

  • stop the automatic installation of Microsoft Visual C++ redistributable.

    I recently started using a new pc in the office.

    and installed MS visual C++ 2008 express on the PC.

    but when I try to compile a program, I found a problem.

    I checked the "programs and features" in the control panel

    There are many redistributable packages VC ++ in the system, IE. VC ++ 2005, 2008, 2010 redistributable...

    I try to uninstall all the redistributable packages, just keep the VC ++ 2008 Express and its components.

    but when I turned on pc a few days later. all versions of redistributalbes are installed back again. It's really annoying.

    is this a way to prevent this auto/silent install these redistributable packages VC ++? because it messes up my programming environment.

    Thank you.

    Others are installed only if an installed application needs them.  Every application needs a specific version.

    You aren't the only one with multiple versions (see figure).  I do not know Cmake, but is there a way to 'say' it which one to use?

  • I need to know how stop the automatic updates, secondly how do I substitute him "you can't run this program on this pc?

    First of all, I need to know how to stop the automatic updates, second how to replace him "you can't run this program on this pc?  I SWEAR THAT IF HE SAID THAT HE AGAIN THAT I WILL BREAK IT INTO PIECES. Then I'll go buy an android tablet.  Surface, hate hate 8

    Yes running of programs that are not on the store is not possible. It is not a parameter or artificial, it's just that the RT line uses what is called an ARM chipset, also known as RISC (Reduced Instruction Set Chip).  Literally, he cannot read the compiled code of complete programs.  Same reason you can't run Adobe Photoshop on an iPhone, just CPU cannot decode the program.  But on the good side of things, it cannot launch virus either, so he made the first version of Windows that cannot get 'gunked up' over time. It works like an iPad and have a continuous and consistent performance for a lifetime. I'm sad that they abandoned it so fast, I know a lot of people who could use this service.

    Anyway, you can skip the connection at startup.  There is in fact in two ways.  Unless you do a lot of "full stops", I recommend enter Power Options and setting by turning off the "password required when you wake up sleep."  Which will remove the requirement for password of sleep/wake, but if the device never complete a boot will always be a password.  This is a good compromise for safety and security, so if the device is lost or stolen, it eventually crashes when the battery is dead.

    But if you want to delete this, you should be able to do it by running the command NETPLWIZ, as described here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sOYmY-6Wd3Y

  • Stop the automatic download of the driver?

    Maybe it's nothing to do with the HP software, but confirmation of this would be very useful. I have a LaserJet P1006 that works very well with the 'original' driver assistance. Whenever I have run Windows 7 (I use an iMac) a driver for the HP Color LaserJet 2800 PS Series is automatically downloaded, registered under devices and printers as "HP LaserJet P1006-1", and it becomes the default printer. Printing is then impossible Windows, until I deleted this driver and returned to the original "LaserJet P1006" driver. Until the Color LaserJet printer is deleted, it is the only printer shown, although there is also a DeskJet which then becomes available.

    Device settings are set to "never install the driver from Windows update." Windows Update is set to "Download updates but let me choose whether to install them".

    I would be really grateful for any suggestions on how to stop the automatic download of the incorrect driver.
