Problems streaming to the PC with Windows 8.
Hi all
I had a domestic network set in place on my PC running windows 7 and have been streaming videos from my PC to my WD Live with no problems. I have recently upgraded to Windows 8 and have put up the network with the same settings. My WD Live can connect to the network and browse files on the PC without any problem. However, once I have started playing the files they are unstable and very bad. It seems that there is some compatibility or speed problem on Windows 8, which is different from Windows 7, but I can't work on it.
If someone has come across something like this before? I see no reason why it should not work as before, the only change is the version of Windows.

Just a guess, but I assume that your video driver requires
an update to be compatible with Windows 8.

How to disable the automatic locking of the screen of the computer with windows XP
How to disable the automatic locking of the screen of the computer with windows XP? so many people responded on windows 7, but NOT a SINGLE spoke of XP. I have this problem. screen goes into sleep mode and I have to wake up even if NO PASSWORD is selected. I changed the POWER SETTINGS. Nothing helps. NEED HELP. Thank you
Well since it is already assigned, and a mod has not moved this somehow already in the XP section:
On your desktop, right-click right properties, under the screen saver are of course "on Resume, display logon screen" is NOT checked. You can also disable screen saver.

Amazon Cloud Player or Google Reader works on the Surface with Windows RT?
Amazon Cloud Player or Google Reader works on the Surface with Windows RT?
I think that the answer is no, and if yes, what are the types of applications/services that are likely to be developed for the Surface (Windows RT) Finally?In addition, these things (Amazon Cloud Player and Google Drive) will be available on the version of Windows 8 fantasy of the Surface when it comes out?A Surface of Windows, I bought for my mother and I did not open and I just check all these things. A laptop is perhaps better for her, but I have little that this is best for some reason any.Thank you.Original title: amazon cloud playerThe Surface Pro is a full PC and runs Windows 8, you can install the Amazon downloader and download the song files as you do now on a regular PC. Surface RT runs Windows RT and does not run as many different applications such as Surface Pro.
You can play songs streamed from the web version of Amazon Cloud Player on Windows 8 and Windows RT. Currently, I'm not aware of any way to download songs from Amazon directly on Windows RT. You will first need to download them on a normal PC and then copy them to the Surface RT if you want to listen to the songs without a network connection.
There is no Google Drive for Windows RT application so far, but Microsoft did something similar, called SkyDrive.
In addition, just for the record it is a Kindle for Windows 8 and Windows RT application, so that you can read your Kindle eBooks.
I speak from experience, having recently purchased a Surface RT to play with. I hope this helps.

How can I reinstall Windows XP? I don't have my OEM of Windows ME records. I don't have my Windows XP to upgrade the disks I got the OEM. It was a free upgrade to Windows XP with my purchase of the computer with Windows Millennium Edition.
I'm sorry, but you will need a Windows 9 x / ME drive to provide during the XP installation from the XP disc is a version upgrade. There is no way around that. See if you can find a friend with an older operating system disk (not a recovery disk) to support qualification. Otherwise, you would need to buy the full version (not upgrade) of XP to install on the computer. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

Hello.
HP LaserJet 1200 connected via USB to the PC with Windows 7 (32 bit) and works fine (latest drivers via Windows Update installed).
But when I have connected via RDC (Remote Desktop Connection) for PC with Windows XP and try to print from this PC to LJ1200 - it is not redirected in a remote desktop session and I did not see in printers and Faxes folder.
Other printers from PC with Win7 works fine via DRC (XPS Document Writer and PDFCreator).
During this time when I do the same thing from another PC with Windows XP, LJ1200 (connected via USB to the PC) works very well through the DRC.
Anyone know how to make LJ1200 to be redirected in a remote desktop session?
Thanks in advance.
For more information, here are 2 possible solutions:
1. put two computers in the same workgroup and then share the printer and install from the remote computer.
2. best solution: install on PC with Windows 7 drivers for Windows XP (PCL6) - it works very well as a redirected local printer via DRC!

Unable to open programs without the 'Open with' window popping up.
Whenever I click on a desktop icon or anything in the menu start, the 'Open with' window opens. I can't check the box "always use this to open these types of programs. This hinders my ability to get for some programs, because I can not find them when I click on "Browse".
Someone knows how to fix this?

* Original title: scam or not
I received a call from a woman saying that she was with the ICC with Windows service provider and they received my computer error messages and I wouldn't be able to help me solve it. I asked for a number of 800-373-4609 because he came unknown on my phone.
I wanted to open my computer. I told her I would call her back.
Is it a scam?
(Moved from P & M)
Yes, it's a scam. When someone calls and says they need to talk to you about 'mistakes' in your computer, simply hang up. I just had one of these calls myself about 15 minutes ago.

I have recived portable computer of the Government with windows pre installed 7professional but now I want to format and reinstal it I require the startup disk and product key (my OS is authentic)
If it's a copy of volume license installed, you will need to contact your employer to find the product key and get the installation files.
If it is preinstalled at the factory with Windows 7 Professional, then use the recovery partition to reinstall Windows 7.
New computers coming often pre-installed with Windows 7 have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.
This is how the recovery partition is accessible to most popular brands...
For Dell, press CTRL + F11 directly after switching on the device
For HP, press F11 directly after switching on the device
For LG, press F11 directly after switching on the device
For Toshiba, press and hold "0" BEFORE and during the power upward
For Acer, press and hold ALT + F10, as soon as you see the logo
For Asus, press F9, as soon as you see the Asus logo.
For Samsung, press F4 to the power upward...
For Fujitsu, press the F8 key directly after the power
Advent, restart your computer. Then, press F10 repeatedly until the message "Starting system recovery"
Sony VAIO, reboot and press "F8" or "F10" repeatedly until the screen "Advanced Boot Options".
