• Windows 8 - start screen tiles are black after waking from sleep

  Recently installed Windows 8 Pro x 64. Whenever I have wake my computer from sleep and go to the home screen all the tiles are black, and the upper right corner where it shows my login and my avatar is missing. The rest start screen works as expected, and hovering just mouse over the tiles (or allowing the more alive to receive an update) will have show correctly.

  I was running the pre-release of windows 8 without this problem.

  My pc is completely up to date with drivers.

  Data sheet:

  I7 920

  Gigabyte ex-58-extreme (bios f12)

  2 x nvidia geforce gtx 580 in sli (310.97 driver whql)

  Samsung 840 pro 256 GB ssd (windows disk)

  2 x wd caviar black 2 TB

  Creative xfi titanium hd (newest driver 3_00_2004)

  Between the previews and update windows 8 retail I made a few changes, the only hardware change is the addition of the samsung SSD (previously on a wd raptor drive). The pilot 310.97 nvidia is also new, I was using an older version before.

  I couldn't find anyone else with this issue a web search or a search here.

  Anyone able to shed some light on this?

  Screenshot: https://skydrive.live.com/redir?resid=DB7140570445443B! 107

  I solved this problem by updating the video card drivers. I lived this question about the version of the nvidia geforce 310.97 driver, but upgrading to 313.96 has solved the problem.

• Windows 8 boot screen tiles are focus

  I recently refreshed my laptop, remove all labels and Web sites applications.  Now when I scroll horizontally on the splash screen using the touchpad, the tiles are focus (put a white line around the tile) which makes the scrolling tiles too quickly.  When I scroll vertically on the start screen, the tiles not to focus.
  
  White line appears around the upper left pane when I start to scroll horizontally and focus tiles at the top of the screen.
  I'm on a Toshiba Satellite P855-S5200, I bought last year with Windows 7 pre-installed but I then installed Windows 8 with a disc. It doesn't have a touch screen, so I use my touchpad for all the shares of touch of Windows 8.
  This has never happened before and I've never disabled it during installation of Windows 8.  Is there a way to stop the tiles of focusing?

• MacBook Pro A1278 starts with black or white screen

  Please help, my 13 "Macbook Pro, circa 2011 displays a white screen briefly and make sound boots, then goes to a white screen.  I tried to reset the PRAM a couple of times, no luck, reset SMC strikes did not help.

  Can anyone offer additional troubleshooting steps?

  Thank you.

  Please take each of these steps that you have not already tried it. Some of them are not applicable to your model or your situation. Stop when the problem is resolved.

  To restart a computer is not responding, press and hold the power button for a few seconds until the unit turns off, then release, wait a few seconds and press again briefly.

  Step 1

  The first step to respond to a startup failure is to secure data. If you want to keep the contents of the boot drive and you have not already at least a current backup, you should try to back up now, before we do anything else. It may or may not be possible. If you don't care the data changed since the last backup, you can skip this step.

  There are several ways to back up a Mac that is unable to boot. You need an external hard drive to store backup data.

  a. starting the partition recovery or an hour Local Machine backup volume (button option key at startup). When the OS X Utilities appears, launch disk utility and follow the instructions in this support articleto the title of the "Instructions for the backup on an external hard drive via disk utility". The article refers to the start of a DVD, but the recovery mode procedure is the same. You don't need a DVD if you use OS X 10.7 or higher.

  (b) If step 1 fails due to disk errors, and no other Mac is available, then you may be able to save some of your files by copying them in the Finder. If you already have an external hard drive with OS X installed, the start of it. Otherwise, if you have access to the Internet, follow the instructions on this page to prepare the external hard drive and install OS X on it. You will use the installation program of recovery, rather than download it from the App Store.

  c. If you have access to a Mac, and it work and have both the non-working Mac FireWire ports or stroke, start the Mac non-working in target disk mode. Work Mac to copy the data to another drive. This technique will not work with USB, Ethernet, Wi - Fi or Bluetooth.

  d. If the internal drive of the non-working Mac is replaceable by the user, remove it and climb into a docking station that is pregnant or an external drive. Use another Mac to copy the data.

  Step 2

  If you have booted from an external drive, make sure that the internal boot volume is selected in the pane of the system preferences Startup disk.

  Start in safe mode. Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or an earlier version, or if a firmware password is defined, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can not do this. If you do not see the words "Safe Boot" in the start screen, you did not start in safe mode. Ask for additional instructions.

  Safe mode is much slower to boot and run as normal, and some things don't work at all, including the networks without wire on some Macs.

  The login screen is displayed even if you normally connect automatically. You must know the password for the connection to connect. If you have forgotten the password, you will have to reset it before you begin.

  If the startup progress bar gets stuck for more than a few minutes, or the system stops automatically when the progress bar appears, the boot volume is corrupted and the player is probably defective. In this case, go to step 9. If you have another problem with the player, replace it immediately.

  If you can start and log in in safe mode, empty the trash and then open the window of info on the boot volume ("Macintosh HD", unless you have given it a different name.) Make sure you have at least 9 GB of space available, as shown in the window. If you do not, copy as many files as necessary on another volume (not another folder on the same volume) and delete the originals. Deletion is not complete until you empty the trash again. This, until the space is more than 9 GB. Then restart as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)

  If the boot process hangs again, the problem is probably caused by third-party software you have installed. Ask for additional instructions.

  Step 3

  If the startup process stops at a gray screen together with a mobile cursor, then the logon dialog box may be active but not visible because of a bug. You may be able to connect by using the arrow keys or the cursor to select the password field and type your password as usual.

  Step 4

  Case of failure of step 3, the boot volume can be complete. If you saw previously implemented guard space drive is low, it is certainly the case. You might be able to start in safe mode , even if you cannot boot normally. Otherwise, boot from an external hard drive, or well technology for step 1b, 1 c or 1 d allows to mount the internal drive and delete some files. According to the documentation from Apple, you need at least 9 GB of free space on the boot (as shown in the Infolog) for normal operation volume.

  Step 5

  If a Mac desktop (without the built-in keyboard) crashes on a gray screen together with a mobile cursor, the keyboard may not be recognized. Hold down the button on the side of a wireless Apple keyboard to make it discoverable. If need be, replace or recharge the batteries. If you use a USB keyboard connected to a hub, connect it to a built-in port.

  Step 6

  Sometimes, a startup failure can be solved by resetting the NVRAM.

  Step 7

  If there is an integrated optical drive, a disk may be stuck in there. Follow these instructions to remove it.

  Step 8

  Press and hold the power button until the unit turns off. Disconnect all devices wired except those needed to start and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Use another keyboard and/or mouse, if these devices are wired. If you can start now, one of the devices that you disconnected, or a combination of both, the origin of the problem. Discover that it is a process of elimination.

  Step 9

  Launch the utility disk in recovery mode (see step 1). Select the boot volume, and then run the repair disk. If problems are found, repeat until that clear. If disk utility reports that the volume is not repairable, the drive is defective and must be replaced. You can choose to tolerate such malfunction in the reader's life. In this case, delete the volume and restore it from a backup. If the same thing happens again, replace the drive immediately.

  It is one of the rare situations where you must also run repair permissions, ignoring the erroneous warnings, that it can produce. Look for the line "Permissions repair complete" at the end of the output. Then restart as usual.

  Step 10

  If the boot device is an aftermarket SSD, it may have an update and/or a forced "garbage collection". Instructions how to do this with a Crucial SSD of brand have been posted here. Some of these instructions may apply to other brands of SSDS, but you should check with the technical support of the provider.

  Step 11

  Reinstall the OS. If the Mac has upgraded an earlier version of Mac OS X, you need the Apple ID and password used to upgrade.

  Step 12

  Do as in step 11, but this time clear the disk utility boot volume before installing. The system should restart automatically in the installation wizard. Follow the prompts to transfer data from one Time Machine or another backup.

  Step 13

  This step applies only to models that have a battery logic-board ("PRAM"): all of the Mac Pro, MacBook with a removable main battery and a few others (models not updated). A flat battery logic-board may cause a boot failure. In general the failure will be preceded by the loss of the system and boot disk clock settings. Refer to the user manual for replacement instructions. You may need to take the machine to a provider of services to have to replace the battery.

  Step 14

  If you get this far, you probably deal a hardware failure. An appointment of 'Genius' to an Apple Store, or select another authorized service provider.

  You can access Mode safe? Repeatedly press F8 as you start? If yes you can try Control Panel - device
  Manager - graphics card - Double click on - driver tab - click on UPDATE driver - then right click
  on devices and UNINSTALL - REBOOT.

  Another method to try to get to the desktop (try in normal Windows Mode without failure)
  CTRL + ALT + DELETE and on the tab process EXPLORER.exe and COMPLETE the PROCESS on this subject - then
  on the Applications tab - lower right - new task - type in EXPLORER.exe. Safe mode is reached

  I was told I had to download adobe to look at a document, Macafee crawled with it.

But in any case I found the icon, if I click right, hold left click, or whatever it is, there is no option to uninstall

  and I can't find "my computer".

  Help! Thank you very much

  Hello Elle3000,

  On the start screen for Windows 8 If you just start typing control anywhere on the screen, you will find the control panel option appears in the results of research on the right of the screen.

  On the desktop, if you right click on the Start button (windows low icon to the left of the screen), you should get a menu drop-down. You will find the Control Panel on this menu.

• How can I PIN Hotmail at the START screen in Windows 8?

  I try to put as much USEFUL information on the screen of BOOT of Windows 8.  It is the screen that is displayed first after logging in Windows 8.  right now I have to go to the OFFICE to get to an email which is an extra step.  Any help is appreciated here.

  You say you want actually slab on your Start that will lead you to your Hotmail page in Internet Explorer? If Yes:

  To add a tile at the beginning who opens the Office of IE10 for Hotmail

  1. open IE10 Desktop then go to your Hotmail Inbox.

  2. click on Tools "cog" (top-right), and then select Add a Site to the start screen.

  To add a tile at the beginning that opens modern IE10 (aka metro) to Hotmail

  1. open modern IE10 then go to your Hotmail Inbox.

  2 right-click anywhere, and then click the PIN site icon (it looks like a bug - row at the bottom of the icons, 3rd from the right) and select Pin to Start.

  The foregoing will not be live tiles.

  The Microsoft Mail application can be used for Hotmail accounts and will have a live tile showing when the new mail arrived. Its features are far too limited for my taste.

  Windows Live Mail is a free alternative that can be used with Hotmail. When pinned at the beginning, it will not be a live tile showing the incoming mail, however. Please see:
