• Some suggestions for Windows 8

  Hey Microsoft,

  until I started with my suggestions, I would like to say that Windows 8 has completely exceeded my expectations. I really enjoy it and I was very skeptical about the Metro interface, but I must say that the metro is just... awesome!
  Microsoft did a great job with Windows 8 ;)
  It is now time for my suggestions: p
  1 - users would be able to change the background image of Metro (splash screen) with a custom image (for example: a photo taken with friends). I had to install a 3rd party software to change the splash screen background.
  2 - the image may differ from the desktop background.
  3 - the user would be able to choose what part of the image to display in the start screen. (The 3rd party software I have installed allows me to do and it's a great option, if someone want to know what software is, you can select it here http://vhanla.deviantart.com/art/Windows-8-Start-Screen-Customizer-v1-3-beta-337308916)
  4 - metro should have a clock (it is a little annoying to move the cursor on the upper/lower right corner or go to the office just to see what time is it).
  5. it should be possible to change the opacity of the tiles (not the icon itself, just the bottom) example: http://postimage.org/image/5bk5a3xyz/2ff33ab8/-> I just want the blue color does not have the icon.
  6. I think that Windows should have a desktop system multiples (such as systems and OS X, based on Linux), without having to install 3rd party software.
  7. I don't know if it's just me, but when you use the Messages app if I speak with a person (via Facebook) which is in offline mode, I get no message to this person. If it is a software problem, it should be fixed. If the problem is mine how to fix?
  I think I did all the suggestions (for now: p).
  I must say once more, Microsoft did a great job with Windows 8.
  Keep up the good work ;)

  I have also some suggestions, I don't know if the developers of Microsoft (Bing AppEx) actually reads this, especially since Microsoft is the copying/cloning "sect" Apple-like behavior (according to Mary Jo Foley). And fortunately, Microsoft will add even more features to my already impressive 8-PC Windows with Windows 8.1 (blue), but there are still some improvements, I would like to suggest.

  1) Windows Media Center... Well, not like a metro app, like a desktop, its variant metro application must be already existing Xbox video (Zune) to from day & TV movies of the Xbox and renamed Xbox & TV movies and have the ability to cloud-stream Live TV (for members - all the Xbox a Xbox LIVE Gold) on their Windows PC, Windows Phone and tablets.

  It should also include Cloud - D.V.R. (for TV) and the ability to record several cable - /-satellite at the same time, it imitates the model of Microsoft SkyDrive and has a free minimum and sustainable through supscription, it should be included as well the Windows DVD Maker features.

  In this way, you have the functionality of desktop applications 4 in a (Windows Media Player, Windows Media Center, Microsoft Zune and Windows DVD Maker).

  (2) a metro Windows Live Writer application.

  3) Windows Essentials to come preinstalled, rename Windows Live Mail Hotmail desktop would @Hotmail.com-Microsoft-accounts contemporary names, nostalgic motive should not run out of Hotmail and a big reversal as the Outlook Express name is now online, Hotmail might be the new name for what is called Outlook Express on Windows XP (Windows Mail in Windows Vista and Windows Live Mail on Windows 7).

  Windows Essentials could become what is Microsoft Security Essentials and pre-installed become, updates would be more easily shipped via Windows Update in this way and would be less of a hassle for users rather than updating the entire costume.

  (4) Speak & search engine Bing (or Bing voice), including the possibility of using Bing search bar on the start screen by placing it above all (similar to Google on Android) applications.

  (5) Windows Store for Desktop (similar to AllMyApps) and the ability to store the date in a cloud related to your account (backportable for Windows XP, Vista and 7). This could also be a great way to know what files cause a virus and how avoid malware, Windows has more applications than Google and Apple ALL ECOSYSTEMS HANDSETS, but unfortunately more malware too, this could be countered by reports of suspected to Microsoft programs and removing these Windows store.

  Microsoft could create a win-win situation with AllMyApps working together, but it is a little far-fetched at present.

  (6) complete device backup Microsoft SkyDrive.

  (7) a 'Scan with Windows Defender' option similar to "scan with Microsoft Security Essentials" earlier Windows-based computers.

  (8) a "save for FreshPaint" option for Microsoft Paint.

  (9) a button from settings on the start screen.

  That's all I can think right now.

  Thank you Microsoft team who developed this beautiful O.S. Windows 8 is great as it is, but the improvement is always welcome ;-)

• Satellite Pro A300 - for Windows 7 power management strategy

  Hi all

  I have the following on my Satellite Pro A300 problem:

  My laptop fan works continuously, which means almost always turn. I cleaned the entire cooling with compressed air, so it is not clean, no problem with that. The reason is that in browsers when Adobe Flash Player runs, it loads the CPU and the GPU, so that the fan trying to cool the system.

  Now I ask you, is there any solution to fix this? I mean even to reduce the GPU clock speed when I do not use the graphics intensive applications.

  I use Google Chrome as default browser and the Windows 7 OS 32 bit.

  Thank you in advance.

  Hey Buddy,

  If an application load the CPU and the GPU it s normal behavior that the fan rotates and probably on top level so it s high usage. So don t you worry because everything is normal. The fan protects the equipment from overheating.

  What you can do is updated Google Chrome and Flash Player. Also try to use the most recent version, they also contain security updates.

  Last but not least, you can change the cooling method in the power management Windows (change the power plan settings). If you have installed Toshiba Value added Package, you can choose between optimized battery and a maximum Performance. Select optimized battery and fan activity will be less.

• For windows 98 Resource Manager

  Hello

  I'm working on the restoration of material capacity old test using some spare disks.  I'm looking in the resource Configuration Manager, and I am puzzled.

  I'm looking in the resource manager is National Instruments MAX (Version 2.0.3.17).  What has intrigued me is that, under the 'devices and Intersfaces', I don't see any instrument listed under.  Windows hardware Manager, I would have two ISA Serial Port and a GPIB card (which is also ISA).

  MAX isn't supposed to list these instruments?  Do I need to add the instrument manually?

  And, is this version of resource manager works fine with Windows 98?

  Any help is appreciated!

  Thank you.

  Peggy

  Hi Peggy,

  If you have not all devices listed under "Devices and Interfaces", I suspect that you have not yet installed the drivers, or the device loader is not started.

  You have NEITHER-488. 2 (GPIB) and NI-VISA (serial ports) installed the drivers? You can find the drivers here , but you will have to go back a few pages to find drivers compatible with Windows 98.

  When you confirm that you have installed the drivers, I'll be happy to dig deeper with you. Thank you!

  After downloading century link patch for Windows, IE 10, all my browsers (I have three) Act as if the patch was built to divert on the homepage of century link any homepage of your browser is set to.

  Windows 7 driver is not automatic duplex printing. "The options are manual, or a booklet * two or more pages per page. How can you print a page by on the side of double-sided automatically?

  In fact, the driver of Windows 7 made good automatic duplex printing - no patch is required for Windows 7 [edit - this is true for fresh installation.  For the versions of Vista the patch may be used for Windows 7].  The default value for some printers, is that the duplexer is 'not installed', please check the Duplex Printing Troubleshooting Guide for Vista.  In Windows 7, the procedure is slightly different, in the folder printers click twice on the 7410, double-click the icon 'Customize your printer', device settings and under installable options go "Duplex for two back" on installed, OK.

  OK, knowing that you upgraded to windows 8. Connection Manager does not come with Win8.

  Windows 8 built in connection in the charms bar Manager, that you can use. When you have installed Win8 you got an error message asking to claim for compensation.

  I should have told you earlier, I was confused with the whole issue and you had only 1 simple question. Sorry!
