Problem of drift incredibly strange clock in Windows 8 on ENVY 14 t-1000

I have a ridiculously strange and frustrating issue running Windows 8 x 64 (RTM) on my Envy 14 t-1000.

The first time I noticed this problem was when I ran the consumer Windows 8 build preview earlier in the year. I noticed that my clock might drift off-sync, usually at least a few hours, often more than a day (always drifted backward in time). I would sync it using 'Internet time' in the options of time & Date but it would soon become off once again in a few minutes.

Thinking it was a dead CMOS battery, I disconnected the battery and checked, but it read full voltage. I then did a clean install of Windows 7, no problems whatsoever. That lasted a few months.

I recently did a clean install of the final version of Windows 8. Exactly the same thing is happening now.

All this experience? Is there a particular driver should I install? An incompatibility permanent with Windows 8 on this machine?

  • How to solve the problems of drift Accupoint? -Solution!

    AccuPoint problems seem to be spread across many laptops from Toshiba. Remember that sometimes the pointer to recalibrate itself, this should take about 10-20 seconds - do not try and use the pointer over this period - it should stabilize after this period. However, if the problem becomes frequent or time-consuming recalibration, the general consensus is to: -.

    (a) clean the dust / can of debris around the pointer using compressed air. This works in most cases.

    (b) a continuous drift / erratic behavior - reinstalling drivers / replace the keyboard.

    Note: Using an external mouse, in most cases, will not prevent the problem of drifting.

    If your laptop is out of warranty and / or you do not want to replace the keyboard / have the laptop repaired, you can permantley disable the Accupoint device. This means that you will still need to use an external mouse - mouse or the USB port.

    If you are reasonably competent, follow these steps: -.

    Remove the keyboard - first disconnect the external power supply and the battery/s.

    (a) there is a small strip of black plastic located immediately above the function keys, remove, using two small cavities - it should detach easily.

    (b) locate the two small black screws that attach the keyboard to the frame and remove.

    (c) lift the keyboard away from the chassis by lifting the keyboard from the top.

    (d) the keyboard is connected to the laptop via a ribbon cable which is set on the connector by a small strip of black plastic under the tablecloth - this slide to the rear.

    (e) the Accupoint connection is separate tape located on the left - it has four connections - carefully Peel this form partly the support transparent plastic strip which also contains the main Ribbon from the keyboard.

    (f) by using a small piece of insulating tape, attach it to the back of the cassette tape of the main keyboard.

    (g) reinsert the Ribbon of keyboard in the connector - now less the tablecloth Accupoint - then reinsert the small black strip of plastic tape to secure the tablecloth on the attachment connector cable.

    (h) replace the keyboard by inserting the tabs at bottom first, gently push down and replace the two screws black.

    Reinsert the battery/s and the external power source.

    Power you laptop - no more problems Accupoint!

    Thanks for this detailed of instructions.

  • I have problems when sending emails on Outlook Express (Windows XP Home) told in the Outbox, even if they were sent. What can I do?

    I have problems when sending emails on Outlook Express (Windows XP Home) told in the Outbox, even if they were sent.  What can I do?

    You have apparent dbx file corruption.

    Spend most of your messages out of the Inbox and then create new folders to send and sent items box after having moved the messages you want to save to a local folder that you create.

    Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store folder will reveal the location of your Outlook Express files. Note the location and navigate on it in Explorer Windows or, copy and paste in start | Run.

    In Windows XP, Win2K & Win2K3 the OE user files (DBX and WAB) are by default marked as hidden. To view these files in Windows Explorer, you must enable Show hidden files and folders under start | Control Panel | Folder Options icon | Opinion, or in Windows Explorer. Tools | Folder options | View.

    With OE closed, find the DBX files for the items in the Outbox and sent and delete them.  New ones will be created automatically when you open OE.

    After you're done, followed by compacting your folders manually while working * off * and do it often.

    Click Outlook Express at the top of the the folder tree so no folders are open. Then: File | Work offline (or double-click on work online in the status bar). File | Folder | Compact all folders. Don't touch anything until the compacting is completed.

    General precautions for Outlook Express:

    Do not archive mail in the receipt or sent items box. Create your own user-defined folders and move messages you want to put in them. Empty the deleted items folder daily. Although the dbx files have a theoretical capacity of 2 GB, I recommend all a 300 MB max for less risk of corruption.

    Information on the maximum size of the .dbx files that are used by Outlook Express:

    Disable analysis in your e-mail anti-virus program. It is a redundant layer of protection that devours the CPUs, slows down sending and receiving and causes a multitude of problems such as time-outs, account setting changes and has even been responsible for the loss of messages.

  • I was using WIA in Photoshop Elements because of problems with my scanner HP ScanJet sudden 4200C window. With the help of my scanner HP through WIA worked very well. Now I have problems analysis with either WIA or the window of the HP scanner.

    When I finally tried to solve the initial problem scanner HP in resettlement of the disk to scan, I kept getting the message that it was not compatible with Windows 95 or 98. But I have Windows XP.  So I finally downloaded and installed scanner drivers, software and upgrades on HP website. Well, the works of scanner, but now there are new problems.  1 - once the hp scanner window is displayed by clicking on import through Scanner HP, most of the menu at the top of the window items is not available. For example, I go to settings and all that is now available is to scan in color. There are 5 other options I should be able to click on, for example, resolution.  And I need that.  I thought, no problem, I'll just use WIA as before, as well as the WIA window came much faster than the HP one.  Problem 2 - in elements, I can go to WIA, but it says "NO compatible WIA devices have been detected."  That's happened?  I tried to go into Panel, scanners and cameras, add a device... but he could not find the scanner and of course, he cannot read the HP disc because of the inconsistent message of windows 95-98 (on my Windows XP computer!).  Can - I just uninstall my scanner and if I make the WIA will be able to find it after that?  I do not understand how I could use WIA and now I can't.  I know it has something to do with that I downloaded and installed at HP, but what?  I hope someone can help.  I have a huge project that I'm trying.
