I hate windows 8. It is the worst program ever - how do 7 - which I never used.

I have a desktop at home and at work with xp, that I love.  This new hp laptop is great, except for this lousy windows 8, which I hate.  It is difficult to use and did not get more easy with the time.  I would like to go back to xp, but not because of microsoft.  I've never used windows 7, but it happened to be better than this pig.   help (wish I had bought a macbook air)

If it's Pro 8 then there are downgrade rights associated with the supplied license, this does not apply to the base license Windows 8.

Microsoft however do not help in this process that you can not the software from them you will need to source it yourself, but when you come to authenticate you must call the authentication service to get a key.

About Windows 8... No comment.

  • Lightroom 3 - the worst program ever released Adobe...

    If anyone cares to read this, I'll be the first to say DO NOT UPDATE!

    I'm spreading the word - facebook, Word of mouth, every professional photographer in THE I know, articles, etc.

    You have to raise hell to get changes.

    Lets see if Adobe will do something about these issues...

    I thought that Adobe created "beta" for a reason - to smooth out all of the kinks before they put out the disc. Nope.

    I waited for them to put updates on many issues since I bought the drive about a month ago... Still waiting Adobe!

    It's awful to look at my photos take literally 4-5 minutes to open.  Worse still, is the time it takes to record Photoshop CS5 in Lightroom - I timed it 14 min. FOR a PHOTO!

    I feel like the old time, when I made video - went out for coffee and came back to find the rotation of the wheel of death still turn.

    Oh, and I learned to speak in India today too! 3.5 hours - with no resolution to my problems.

    Susheel consulted my computer remotely - seen my catalog - see 73 000 images and request "are you a photographer?  REALLY?  Did you REALLY just ask me that Susheel?

    Why I HATE Lightroom 3 - Let me count the ways:

    1 adobe closed their technical support in Portland (I mentioned several times, and ALWAYS had my issues resolved.)  They always went above and beyond the Protocol - and we are sitting here and wonder why the U.S. economy hangs), now you have an anonymous person in India or the Philippines (which have no extension, no email, no even a direct line so when you sit on a call to 3.5 hours and must remind you start all repeatedly...) Dear Adobe - we live in 1980? You are suppose to be a LEADER in technology. 

    I am morally against outsourcing, my work is all about the death of American industrial capitalism.  In a time when the United States are in crisis, Adobe is working on moving things out of the USA.  I am outraged - you can't find someone in the US EVEN IF YOU TRIED!  The best I could do was to speak to someone in sales-wow. What makes say - of the American "well look and sound good to sell our product, but when it comes to something as technology advanced using the product and troubleshooting, we prefer to use someone without extension in another country.

    2. they don't offer support for anyone who is running on a network (they expect professionals to work off their 'c' drive or the internal hard drive to the Mac.  HA!

    3. they continued to blame my network - although my network doesn't work well, there is no limitation of access, will open directly in photoshop just fine (and fast!), absolutely worked perfectly in Lightroom 2... Yes, it's the network, riiight.
    4 Lightroom 3 is corrupt files when opening in Photoshop CS5 - if I get the chance to open
    5. when I get a photo open, it loses its filters once re-recorded in Lightroom (I sort my photos to help me navigate through the masses)-it's really bad to my workflow. When I shoot 800 images in the studio in one day - I DON'T want to go back and fish around to find a modified version that has lost its flag...

    6. I have been promised to receive a phone call 'next week' because there is no extension can I call to move forward.  I'll keep you updated - allow you to know if Anthony keeps his word.  He couldn't tell me who was going to call me, or when, but he "assure" me going to happen.

    I won't hold my breath

    Yes, it's always for lack of anyone else. It's never because they made a stupid decision to buy before making absolutely sure that the software will work for them.

    Looks like nobody is willing to take over their own actions these days.

    Thus, by this logic, Adobe doesn't have to assume ALL pushing this hack at the door?  Given that they had a ready RC almost INSTANTLY after that release should be sufficient to show that they KNEW they were pushing the rubbish at the door.  Indeed, Adobe is responsible for providing a product of buggy about bugs that CROSS platforms so it must be not the hardware of the user base of design code, or whatever it is that a given user has done.  Of course some systems may have patterns to make these issues more apparent, but it is on Adobe to treat as they should publish limitations and known configurations that can lead to potentially more problems... but these have a confession and accepts responsibility for the original version of the buggy... btw, release notes to be where we'd find info oddities and the way around post requirements being set in stone and to encourage the lowest common denomonator user.

    One more thing... LR is marketed not not like a PRO TOOL, it is sold as a tool for the average to the level hobby photographer.  It's also huge appeal to the market pro is a happy accidentally-on-purpose thing... but to rebuke people who do not feel it is their job to troubleshoot a commercial app is completely unreasonable... but more the American consumer is the largest group of beta tester on the planet... I wonder how our counterparts from the EU are fairing as ironically, they have consumer protection laws more severe... try to push a product of shit out in the German market. Hey-Hey, yes good luck with that.

    In fact, I would say that this isn't the worst software that adobe has ever pushed the door, but perhaps the worst photography software that they never sent as RTM.  Many, many associated PDF apps and utils actually could be worse and we will get in what they have done in Flash and Dreamweaver after this acquisition.  The closest analogue to you, I can see if that what is arrived at the products Norton post Norton bought by Symmantec.

    However, I am willing to give time to Adobe at this address because they did not have ready RC almost immediately.  If they did?  No way, but maybe fans put marketing patches and company in the position where he was to meet the release date, even if the problems were discovered in the pipeline already and that there would be a period of 3 to 9 weeks before the issues have been resolved for the most part.  But they did well, even those who ran the beta ran the 30 - day trial found no issues because they simply has not used this part of the program enough bugs to manifest their effects insofar as you the user realize something weird happens.

    I'm too excited so beyond belief that I depend on LR for my company, I can however work around it for a while, but I don't make any money as a photographer I use photography for my business issues, while causing huge levels of frustration, are not fatal... yet... as far as I know is I don't want to not come back to LR2.7 because I've done so work onLR3 / LR3.2RC already and the tools are indeed higher in LR3.x... When they work, and that's the rub.  So are many here say those who have these bugs affecting their income/workflow bought in this to save time and to leverage the jouississez NR/sharpness and I mean improved adjustment tools.  I do not use profiles of lens to all really so nothing special for me here.

    I have a question... I'm sure this has been asked and we answered but, eh, why not one more time because research is so "haaaard.

    but this problem affects all types of files?  I'm shooting DNG but can pass to PEF if necessary and convert import, but would rather just shoot DNG.  I'm not ready to move to the JPG format, because if I have to I have giving up too much control over my images, so I would like to LR2.7.

    In addition, what Camera RAW versions have been used in the beta and what versions are used with LR3.  I know that I've upgraded to ACR6.2 (?), or whatever the latest version.  I understand there are a ton of factors at play in these bugs but I doubt ACR is like my ancient version PS CS3 of Photoshop has no problems, of course, it uses the old version of ACR 4.6 (?) once again sorry I forgot which version exactly but it is trivial and can be determined.

    I love LR because I don't need the advanced features of PS all that often, PS is always a pleasure tool to have a backup for complicated plans if I don't have time to really go into it I would like to...

    But in general I guess I'm saying, Adobe had to know in advance the LR3 original RTM because they have ready RC almost instantly.  Of course, previous versions of LR also had the same experience a few that bugs were, well, not too powerful I guess.  I was happy with LR since the 1.x versions, but this version is painful to support... and I I posted previously I don't live with the people of refund from Adobe, likely personal off-supported who receive bonuses to talk about customers to get a refund, I will simply place a stop payment with Mastercard... that's why I use, so I don't have to leave businesses to waste my time wading through their paperwork.  And btw, Adobe knows that the client will WIN any chargeback because this piece of evidence of a known to be defective product was sold to the consumer and the customer can even the mfg to address the problem that only they have failed to provide timely.  So, if you're not happy just "go to the mattresses"... use the hammer of chargeback.  The bonus is any chargeback to the consumer cost the retailer, Adobe in my case, $35 when they lose...

    I agree that you should also check your router connection. try to reset and check the protocol settings WPA - WPA2. I read in other forums that this might cause problems to windows8, so google it.

    As your computer, was there all the time it worked normally? When you bought first didi you change something?

    Try this solution from another thread. (http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Hardware/Internal-Power-Error-upgrading-Windows-10/m-p/5168771#M190265).

  • Windows 7 loads on the wrong drive. How to fix?

    I had a full load of Windows 7 Professional on my PC, which had Vista Ultimate top.  He left Vista on my C drive and load Windows 7 on my D drive (which is a small partition used for the restore on my hard drive).  How can I fix it?  I want Windows 7 on drive C!

    Hello

    You can reformat your D: drive and it will remove your extra copy of Windows, however, while you deleted your redundant copy that you will always get a start menu double giving you the ability to start Windows 7 or Windows Vista. You can fix this by changing the boot BCDedit file but it's complicated. The simplest option is to download the freeware app EasyBCD http://neosmart.net/dl.php?id=1 to install the application on the operating system that you want to keep, for example, Windows 7 and then click the Add/Remove Entires. From there, you can remove the Windows Vista entry from the boot loader.

  • Windows 7, the "All PROGRAMS" area; HOW TO COMBINE?

    I have approximately 65 downloaded games that I play a lot. I have them in a folder on my desktop.  It of great, works perfectly, HOWEVER, they are listed individually under my all PROGRAMS on the start menu.  How can I get them in a single folder in this area?  They take too much space and do the ALL PROGRAMS so long, it is difficult to find a program that I'm looking for.   I have to scroll all game names!

    Understand? Can someone tell me how to manipulate the area of all THE PROGRAMS?

    See if you can rearrange shortcuts to program in one of these locations.

    Location of the Start Menu of the user is

    C:\Users\usernamexxxx\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\ for specific user.

    While the Start Menu generally used by most installers and accessible by all users is C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu.

    Watch the "Programs" folder in each location.

    The best way to access these two places is right click on the link to all of the programs in the menu start and click Open or open all users for each location respectively.

    ProgramData is a hidden folder, you may need to set the display of records (Control Panel / folder Options) to display the hidden files and folders if you want access to these locations.

    If your username does not create or read a file in one of these locations look at the tab security and access permissions.

  • Reinstall Windows XP without removing the entire program

    PC was loaned to my daughter, went back and see that many programs are gone, can I reinstall WinXP on remaining programs?

    try to put on the original cd and choose repair xp should put this back to normal. If it does not put the cd in the cd rom stops when the computer starts it upward and then it will give you the ability to boot from the cd when it does that it will get to a point and ask what format you want to use it will be 4 options
    NTFS format (quick)
    FAT format (quick)
    NTFS format
    big format

    Choose the ntfs and it will go faster it will totally wipe the computer and reinstall all the original programs
    But anyway I have never been able to use a recovery cd sucessfully that my opinion is copy all the necessary files so that your daughter needs a USB or zip drive what ever you call them and boot from the cd

  • HP Mini 110-3130NR and the new hard drive - how to create an image and use it?

    I want to replace the current hard drive to my HP Mini 110-3130NR of a new SSD.

    Ideally, I'd like to copy the disc hard integer on the SSD and then just swap hard disks (create a picture of the current hard drive work in the SSD).

    Otherwise, I have an external USB hard drive, so I could save the contents of the original hard drive and restore the image in the SSD. The problem is that HP Mini doesn't have a DVD player/burner, and I fear that it does not start via a USB device.

    Any help is welcome. Thank you.

    Respect!

    OK, all these programs did not help ast all, they still have some problems with SSDS (I tried an Intel X 25-M SSDSA2MH080G2K5 and an OCZ Vertex 2 OCZSSD2-2VTXE120G).

    This is so the fix for the problem, all you need a 4 GB flash drive.

    In Windows XP, Vista or seven plug the flash drive into the computer, open a command window (type cmd in the search) and type:

    DiskPart

    In the window that opened type:

    list disk

    Find the number corresponding to your USB key and type the following commands, replacing X with the number corresponding to your flash drive:

    Select disk X
    clean
    create the primary partition
    Select partition 1
    assets
    format fs = NTFS
    Assign
    output

    Then insert a DVD Windows Seven of INTAL, open the command prompt and navigate to the "Startup" folder in the Windows 7 DVD.
    Starting inside this folder, run the command:

    Bootsect/nt60 W: - replacing the W with the letter assigned to your flash drive.

    After that, simply copy the entire contents of the Windows 7 Installation DVD to flash drive, drive to the computer with the newly installed SSD and start from the flahs player.

    Enjoy!
