    Hello

    The update option in the settings of PC mentions that you can save your personal files, it does not mention programs and applications.

    The first screen you see when you select the refresh option is as follows.

    You will need to reinstall all of the programs deleted.

    For the question of multi-geste, contact Samsung support to download the latest driver for this component.

  • Windows 8 "Refresh Your PC" is, is possible to fully restore? How?

    Windows 8 feature 'Refresh Your PC', that will repair Windows to the default settings. It will remove all earlier updates installed, the programs installed. But does not affect personal files. Windows keeps copies of previous Windows, program files, directories users under the Windows.old folder (it will remove Windows automatically after 28 days).

    Using the troubleshooter of records to retrieve. We can restore these affects the refresh files.

    My sister accidentally executed refresh, Windows removes everything that has installed the programs & updates. Troubleshoot utility will not help. I have these programs inside the Windows.old folder.

    My question is is it possible of entire back "refresh the process" of restoration? I have need of all these updates installed previously & programs. How to do this?

    \\Dinesh

    Unless you had a system image backup is not possible to roll back the update.  The programs will need to be reinstalled.

  • Hotmail keeps giving me this error message: ' we have updated Hotmail, so, please refresh your browser or close and sign in again. "

    WITH REGARD TO THE HOTMAIL ACCOUNT

    I've had problems with my account main hotmail for several weeks now.   Since two days ago, it keeps giving me this error message: ' we have updated Hotmail, so, please refresh your browser or close and sign in again. " If you are trying to write a message, make sure that save you it as a draft".    The error message all the time, and now I can only open, reply and send messages when my account main hotmail is not having a hissing fit. I know this isn't my browser is because my old secondary hotmail account works great - NONE of these problems manifest with my secondary hotmail account more old.

    Other reasons why I suspect that there is a problem with this account:

    (1) my Outlook send and download messages from my older secondary hotmail account, but not the primary. The main account is the same one that keeps giving me the error message above. This is clearly a problem of HOTMAIL, not my browser or my computer.  I lost ALL my emails stored on the account main hotmail when it leaves working in Outlook.   Am upset and ready to move to gmail.

    (2) Outlook is able to download messages through spring 2010 of my main hotmail account.  It only syncs not with the account main hotmail, although he'll send occasionally this account.

    If there is a solution, please please let me know.

  • "You need to add your languages in Windows 8.

    When I tried to upgrade to Windows 8 Pro, he said "you need to add your languages in Windows 8. I have Windows 7 Ultimate. I use a CD disc and that's what I tried, I went on the Start button, typed language, press "install or uninstall display languages" and press on uninstall display languages, there are 3 languages, an English and a Chinese (Simple and tradition), I uninstalled them both and they both have been uninstalled and I checked it again just in case I uninstalled them both back to the program "install or. Uninstall display languages"and there was only English that it is impossible to uninstall, I also tried and downloaded the program Windows Fix It, it did not show anything on the tongue. I press Refresh on the installer of Windows 8, which brings me to this: file:///C:/$WINDOWS.~BT/Sources/Panther/ActionableReport.html, I pressed the confirmed cases and nothing happened, I pulled out and press refresh and it still says

    "You need to add your languages in Windows 8.", nothing has worked to help please.

    Hello

    Please provide detailed information about your question. I appreciate your efforts to resolve the issue. However, there are a few steps more that we can try to diagnose the root cause.

    This problem could be linked to the modification of system files and Windows components.

    Since you've already tried to uninstall the language packs for Windows 7, I would suggest trying the following steps and check if it helps.

    Method 1: Run the clean boot

    Perform the clean boot that helps determine if third-party applications or startup items are causing the problem.

    How to perform a clean boot in Windows

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135/en-us

    Note: See "how to reset the computer to start normally after a boot minimum troubleshooting" to prepare the computer to start as usual after a repair.

    If the problem persists, follow method 2

    Method 2: Clean boot material

    Unplug all external devices connected to your system (except the keyboard and mouse) and check if it helps.

    You can also perform a clean boot material to deactivate devices and check if the problem occurs.

    a. click Start and in the start search type in "Device Manager".

    b. in Device Manager, disable the items of the graphics card, floppy disk, network card, Modem and sound, video & game controllers.

    c. right-click on each of the devices and select disable.

    d. restart the computer in normal mode and perform the upgrade.

    Note: After the upgrade to Windows 8, you must activate the devices and update the drivers for Windows 8.

    You can also try to uninstall the language packs for Windows 7 and check if you can switch to Windows 8.

    You can see the article upgrade to Windows 8.

    Windows 7 language packs are available for computers that are running Windows 7 ultimate or Windows 7 Enterprise

    Hi Matt

    I found very interesting Toshiba technical support document in the Knowledge Base, and I think it might be useful to you.

    Windows Recovery 8 & repair
    APS2. Toshiba-tro.de/KB0/TSB2A03ES0000R01.htm

    The 'Refresh' option is primarily a repair technique. It is a good method to return your PC to a known good state while preserving your files and a large part of your configuration. With the option "Refresh your PC", accounts of users, data files and some settings are retained on your PC without the need to create a backup or make choices about what to keep or delete.

    This means that the data should not be affected by using the update your PC option.

  • Error "Windows has encountered a problem installing the software driver for your device." Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error trying to install it.

    So I got a wireless mouse for my first time and it won't even install on my computer. It isn't the mouse because I tried other wireless mice and none of them work. In my device under other devices Manager there are only 2 USB receivers listed with question marks next to them. It is said that they can not find the drivers for the device. Then under my HIDDEN I tried to update the HID-compliant device and the USB input device, nor able to update. This is the message I get.  Windows encountered a problem installing the software driver for your device. Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error trying to install it. Peripheral HID-compliant, the system cannot find the specified file. I already contacted EVGA about the issue, because there is where I got my motherboard, but they said to contact Microsoft and I didn't really want to pay 50 dollars to send them an email. That's all just ridiculous.

    Well, I found the solution, just in case anyone has the same problem.  Apparently some day caused Wireless does not work on several computers. So you go into Manager for all of these research and device drivers manually. Then, you look for in C/windows/winsxs. Then the wireless mouse/keyboard should work.

    Windows 8 - Refresh PC pre-installed Windows key recovery or installation DVD disc

    The problem is that the number of keys for Windows 8 is required for this operation, and I can't get it. I got Windows8 pre-installed when I bought the laptop, so I don't have the installation DVD, I did not collect the number of keys in any documentation or found on the laptop.

    What can I do to make sure that if I can restore Windows 8 and all my data on the laptop?

    Thanks for your help

    To put it bluntly, YOU n 'T NEED a KEY! When you reinstall Windows 8, it is automatically activated from your key incorporated in the Bios. There is no need for to go you into the Bios to get the key. With Windows 8, it is how it is done. Hope this helps and if you need another post to help and we will be happy to help you.
