I keep losing my Metro apps and cannot get back them

Windows 8 sucks! My new laptop is not even a week. I have to stop and resume, return them briefly, then get a blank screen to start again when I try to use the charms bar. I did a system update and several restorations and continues to be. I scanned my computer any malware, etc. and found nothing.

  • BlackBerry smartphones lost my contacts on the phone and cannot get back them.

    My phone has load the other night during a power failure and the morning my contacts and contacts BB disappeared.  These contacts are not lost, because it's my gmail contacts list - but I can't get back them on my phone.  I clicked all the buttons on the sync, but no luck.  I can't manually add a contact and not seeing him.  In the options of the contacts, it says I have 288 contacts associated with my gmail account, and when I manually add one, it goes up by another number.  But - I can't see them anywhere.

    Also, I deleted the email account and set up again ensuring the sync box, took out the battery and SIM card and put back and still nothing.  Advice anyone?

    You see if gmail is your default service for a list of contacts?

  • I disabled all my toolbars and cannot get back them again.

    I inadvertently disabled all my toolbars and now don't turn them back on. I can't go to one of my favorites. How can I activate on toolbars when I don't have a toolbar to do?

    If you have hidden the menu bar, press Alt or F10, it will temporarily display the bar menu, and then on the view menu, select Toolbars and click on the entrance to the "Menu bar" to permanently display the menu bar.

    You can then use view > toolbars to display other toolbars you want.

  • Lost all my shortcuts on the desktop and cannot get back them!

    Whenever I turn on my laptop, my living room of shortcuts for a few seconds, when the office, then they disappear forever once that it has finished loading!  This has happened for a few weeks now and I don't know how to fix it.  Also, when I right click on any program and try to send it on the desktop as a shortcut, it does not work, nothing happens! I tried to restore to a couple different points before the last windows update, and that didn't work either.  I also run full antivirus scans, etc & still nothing.  Help please! I want my shortcuts back!

    Do you know when this problem started?  Try a system restore to a point in time BEFORE the problem started.  Here is the procedure: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/using-windows-vista-system-restore/.  Don't forget to check the box to show more than 5 days of restore points.  If the first attempt fails, then try an earlier point or two.  NOTE: You will need to re - install any software and updates that you have installed between now and the restore point, but you can use Windows Update for updates.  I hope you have a point to rstore dating back that far.

    If this does not work, go to start / computer / C:\Users\\desktop (and you may also go to C:\Users\All Users\Bureau) and see if they contain elements of your desktop.  If so, copy all files and paste them on your desktop.  You can probably rearrange, but who should return them.

    If this does not work, your user profile may be corrupted.  To fix this use http://windows.microsoft.com/en-AU/windows-vista/Fix-a-corrupted-user-profile.  If that is the only available Administrator Profile (you need to be an administrator to fix this), enable the Hidden Administrator Account (HAA) using http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/default.aspx?&lang=en&cr=US&guid=&sloc=en-us&dg=microsoft.public.windows.vista.administration_accounts_passwords&p=1&tid=d20f9db4-7b2c-48be-a087-7835dc2a9055&mid=d20f9db4-7b2c-48be-a087-7835dc2a9055.  If you don't remember the password, try nothing because that's probably what you (or seller) did during the installation.  Once that is done, don't forget to disable the HAA to save it in case it is necessary once again and for safety reasons (since people often try to hack into systems using this account).  Do NOT use the HAA as your administrator account because if you lose the only administrator on the system account or it is damaged again, then you're watered.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

  • I lost the rights of Directors and cannot get back them... Please help!

    It seems that after my CA Security Suite has been updated, I lost my administrative rights.  I've been chatting live with them, and they claim that this has nothing to do with them.

    What I'm trying to gives me a command prompt that I "don't have access to users', but it will allow me to continue.  I'm scared to play in user accounts, so I won't spoil things... I created a new administrator account, but when I click on that I get an error and it's not imitate my office of origin.

  • I was chased from my email (NCR) and cannot get back in. It happened when I blocked all permissions on an ad on the page of the Inbox. RCN said it's a problem of mozilla.

    I had taken a pop up ad my email inbox page and tried to do the same to the other on the opposite side of the page. I think that this announcement is not a pop up but a part of the Inbox page. Like I did with the pop-up ad, I click right on it and then click on "View Page Info". I then went to the "Permissions" window where there are 7 categories, with the option 'use default' is checked. I unchecked all of them and checked the 'blocked' for all 7.

    As soon as I closed the window, I was thrown off my Inbox and was returned to the login page for my email. When I went to reconnect, I was unable to. I'm stuck on the login page and it won't let me access my Inbox. I called MRC, my provider, who was able to get right. Then, I used my Internet Explorer browser and was able to get into my perfectly fine e-mail inbox. The 'tech' at the MRC says it has something to do with Mozilla and I tried to reset but warned me that I'll lose all the settings. I am reluctant to do so and I would be grateful if you very well the folks at Mozilla to tell me what happened and how to fix it.

    Thank you.

    You can undo your changes to authorization. Probably the most relevant is cookies. Try one or two of these methods:

    (1) page Info > permissions tab

    While displaying a page on the site:

    • Right click and select View Page Info > permissions
    • ALT + t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > permissions

    (2) approximately: permissions

    In a new tab, type or paste Subject: authorizations and press ENTER. Allow a few moments for the list on the left to fill, because this information must be extracted from a database.

    Then type or paste NCR ' in the search box above the list to filter to more relevant areas. When selecting a domain, you can adjust its access permissions in the right pane.

    A little luck?

  • I've updated to Firefox, The Free Dictionary has lost some essential features, cannot get back them. The DFT now only works in English. What should do?

    I updated Firefox to 10.0.2 and lost the functionality of The Free Dictionary. I reinstalled TFD, but now it only works in English. Say I read a German Web page, highlight a Word, the dictionary will seek in the English Dictionary. Before that I had all the versions I needed, and the dictionary automatically in the right. And before that I could have the toolbar installed, now there is no option for this either. What should I do?

    Maurizio salute, I asked you to a problem with the free dictionary. I found the solution, which in fact was not technical. In case someone else has the same, that's what I did not understand: when I highlight a word in a text in a language other than English, the dictionary gives me an explanation in English, i.e. 'not found word', but when I then press 'Search', the dictionary connect in the appropriate dictionary. It works even in Chinese! So, problem solved. The dictionary is not as good as before, but still, it works. Best regards, Markku

  • virus: I struggled with the virus for some time and cannot get rid of them

    I have struggled with the virus for some time and cannot get rid of them. I bought a few programs, but they have also been infected. any suggestions for a really good virus buster.

    Hello

    First of all, an antivirus solution to an already infected system of loading is usually pretty useless. The bug will block all attempts to remove or load what it sees as a threat. Second, without knowing which virus you are affected by, it is difficult to be precise.

    You can take action include:

    (a) work in safe mode, there is much less likely that the virus is able to load and resist actively.

    (b) the safe mode, run utilities malwarebytes.org and AV solution that was installed * before * your infection.

    (c) post is back with a better description of what is on your system to learn more targeted advice.

    I have a HP G60-214EM laptop and cannot get it connected to my samsung 26 "smart tv. Can anyone help?

    Hello Maureen56,

    I understand that you want to connect your TV to your laptop.

    To connect your computer to your TV HDTV using an HDMI cable, follow these steps:

    1. Locate the HDMI port on the back of your TV. It should be more than one, in order to choose the one that is otherwise unused. Note the port on which you choose.
