I have a problem with Windows 8, locking up.

Original title: Windows 8

After locking up for the 50th time, I finally ripped off just the power supply from the back of the computer.  It was the only way to get it unlocked, apparently!   Ctrl + alt + delete does nothing!  Escape, does nothing.  Even by pushing the power button does not work!   I am so frustrated with this mess, I'm about to use this computer for target practice!  I need of instructions on how to wipe my hard drive and start over with Win 95 or something that actually works!

Hey Wilson,

I suggest you to reset the user account security policies and check if it helps.

You can follow the steps:

(a) press the Windows and X together and select user account.

(b) click reset security policies.

(c) click on reset policy.

Check if it solves the problem.

Please let us know if you have more queries on Windows.

  • I have a problem with Windows accepts only not the connection password.

    Original title: why have I lost my windows login password?

    Hello
    It's strange. Suddenly, I found that my Windows 7 login password is more accepted. Of course I made sure that caps lock is not on, typed correctly, etc. I have made no changes in the system and have had the same connection for more than a year.
    I restored it with system restore (good to enter Safe Mode was not easy... topic for another time).
    So now I'm back to normal and created a password on a flash drive recovery disk.
    But, why or how would it happen?
    Very curious.

    Thanks a lot for your suggestions.

    Jack

    If you were able to get in Mode safe without logon then automatic logon mode must have previously been activated.

    To find out what happened to your password you could do this:
    1. Log in under your spare admin account.
    2. Click on the globe to start, and then type the three letters cmd into the search box and press ENTER.
    3. Enter the following command and press ENTER:
      NET user 'Jack '.
    The command will tell you everything about the account of Jack, for example when the account of the last use and what was his password has changed. This implies, of course, that you have a fully tested alternative admin account. Having one would have saved you perform a system restore, even as having a spare House key removes the need to break a window...

  • I have a problem with Windows Mail

    Since my computer crashed a while back I have a folder in my Windows Mail under the name of 'retrieved Messages '. I want to get rid of this folder because it multiplies all the time and is a real nuisance for me. However, the option 'remove' normal does not work. Is there another way to remove this folder except to uninstall "Windows mail" and reinstall again? The ideas so please send me an email directly. My email address is * address email is removed from the privacy *.

    There are a few things you can try.  One is to compact and repair the database by using my Windows Mail utility (www.oehelp.com/WMUtil/).  Alternatively, you can try to remove your e-mail account and then close and reopen WinMail and see if you can get rid if these records then.  Then add your account to e-mail back again.   And then restart the computer.  If this does not help, then post back as otherwise you will have to reset the message store to fix it.

  • I have a problem with Windows Media Player

    WMP gives me an error message whenever I try to play a video. The AVS Video Player it no problem, I'm obviously missing some codecs. Is there a simple way of loadin in Windows 7 Professional 64-bit, all the necessary codecs and WMP functions?

    I loaded a decoder from the cdec, but all what is said than what has been used and not how to remedy the situation

    Thank you

    Make sure that you use the 32-bit version of WMP, even in 64-bit W7.

    The reason is that it has more built than his cousin of 64-bit codecs. Go figure!

    Otherwise, download and install a 64-bit such as K-Lite codec package.

    See you soon,.
