• Cannot install ANY video game on Windows 7 (and other problems) _

  No more than 5 MINUTES after starting my new desktop computer the first time, I started having these problems:

  (1) when I try to install a game, I get an error message that says "cannot continue the installation. SAMPLE.exe file missing. "Soon after, a message in the lower right corner will slide upward, saying 'virus Trojan in SAMPLE.exe. The file has been quarantined. When I disable the antivirus software, I can install the game but I can't run it. It hangs after 5 minutes, and then a box pop up appears and says "cannot find the file SAMPLE.exe.

  All the video games I've tried to install are compatible with windows 7.

  (2) when I try to make changes to programs or certain parameters, a box pop up appears and says "You must be logged in as Administrator", when I am logged on as administrator.

  (3) Windows 7 will reorganize randomly my desktop icons.

  (4) Windows Explorer starts that it self.

  (5) sometimes programs will not download to the location I specified. He decided to put it somewhere else.

  I agree with KSib, that having these types of problems right out of the box is ridiculous.  I recommend you contact the PC manufacturer for warranty support to get this corrected. Mike - Engineer Support Microsoft Answers

• Windows Update does not start and other problems...

  When I connect to windows update, the page becomes white and everything continues to load.  I can't start in safe mode to run all the patches.  I also have an annoying problem of svchost that takes more than 90% of my memory.  I ran every virus known to man program... MalwareBytes, Kaspersky, ESET, to name a few and they all say that my computer is clean.  I am running windows xp pro service pack 3.

  Hi Bopatop,

  1. did you of recent changes on the computer?

  2. you receive an error message?

  It is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.

  I suggest that you configure the computer in a clean boot state and check if it helps.

  To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows XP by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

  See section to learn more about how to clean boot.

• When I first installed the new 5.1 icloud, OUTLOOK 2016 worked well. Updated windows 10 and know icloud will not work. ICloud show that it works.

  When I first installed the new 5.1 icloud, OUTLOOK 2016 worked well. Updated windows 10 and know icloud will not work. ICloud show that it works. Have reinstalled icloud a lot of time and know that the add-in does not show up in OUTLOOK.  Help

  I was pulling my hair re the incompatibility of iCloud and Outlook of Office 365 2016.  I finally got things to work on three of my computers - which are on the latest version of Windows 10.

  The steps that worked for me:

  (1) uninstall the plugin iCloud (what version you have); the uninstall may fail but if so don't worry as step 3 below overlays some iCloud plugin version you have installed

  (2) open the Control Panel, uninstall, change/repair Office 365; Select fast repair

  (3) reinstall iCloud plugin (version 5.1), then restart the system by following the instructions

  (4) after the reboot, plug in iCloud application Apple ID and password; Make sure that you enter your apple with the suffix icloud.com ID (e.g., [email protected])

  (5) check the iCloud options to your will (e.g., photo synch, synchronization of bookmarks, sync mail/calendar, etc.)

  (6) check apply it, leave the work plugin iCloud for a minute, when he finishes, check the closing

  (7) open Outlook 2016 and check your calendar or contacts or anything that you indicated in step 5, that you want to synchronize with iCloud.com

  I hope it works for you!

• Envy 17 3010eg: upgrade to Windows 8 and update Bios: no switchable graphics and other problems

  Hello

  I'm of the Germany, but I'll do my best to write this in English.

  The product name and number: HP Envy 17 3010eg {information}

  Operating system: Windows 8 Pro 64-bit

  Drivers: everything up to date

   

  Long story short,

  I just wanted to upgrade the pre-installed Windows 7 Home Premium 64 - bit to the new Windows 8 Pro 64-bit.

  So I waited until the driver for Windows 8 support has been completed by HP.

  This month, I noticed that HP has released a graphic driver for Windows 8.

  Happy as I was I installed Windows 8 immediately via upgrade function.

  I installed all the missing drivers.

  * Update Bios to F.08*

  I noticed that I had to upgrade my Bios to version F.08 to install new graphics drivers. I did the upgrade and installation of the driver.

  BUT after the update to the version of the Bios the laptop only F.08 recognized the AMD graphics card. The integrated Intel HD 3000 graphics card had disappeared!

  Even after installing the new graphics driver, the Intel card is still missing in the 'Device Manager' of Windows 8.

  The battery life is now about 1 1/2 to 2 hours maximum because the laptop always uses the card AMD.

  So I looked in the 'new' Bios, but I have not found a way to change the graphics card. So I think that there is only a 'software' switch to do so.

  I have installed "AIDA64"and look under "Graphics".» The graphics card Intel HD 3000 has been mentioned as 'disabled'.

  Nice, but I have no idea how to turn it on again.

  So I re-installed Windows 8. This time, I did a completely clean install. With the same results.

  So, I switched to Windows 7, and there you go. Two graphics cards are displayed in "Device Manager" and the switchable graphics feature works perfectly (! even with the new version of the Bios F.08!).

  * Tested in Bios Version F.09*

  Yesterday, I noticed another Bios Update. This time in version F.09.

  So, I updated the Bios with Windows 7 installed.

  Everything went well (I thought!).

  Once, I've done a completely new installation of Windows 8 to take a peek, if Intel HD 3000 card will be recognized this time.

  BUT without success...

  So, I thought that the problem could only be Windows 8, because Windows 7 works perfectly.

  * Problems with Bios Version F.09*

  BUT then, I noticed a strange behaviour of my laptop:

  -proximity sensor no longer works

  -the keyboard backlight cannot be (DIS-) activated

  -the brightness of the backlight is half as usual

  -internal fans are going crazy-> they accelerate without reason (laptop is idle) and won't slow down until I do a re-boot

  * Version of the Bios downgraded to F.05*

  So, I spent to the version of the Bios to the older Version available: F05

  And I was a little shocked by the result.

  Windows 8 acknowledged the Intel HD 3000 graphics card again!

  The problem is the Bios!

  Then, I upgraded the version of Bios version to see which version of the cause of the problem:

  Œuvres F05

  Œuvres F.06

  F.08 does not work

  F.09 does not work

   

  So I decided to stay with the version F.06

  BUT to install the new Windows graphic 8 driver you need the version of Bios F.08 (min.).

  I installed the driver anyway...

  I found myself with a black screen... I had to reinstall Windows completely.

  Yet more long story short,

  I ended up using Windows 8 Pro 64 - bit with the graphics card AMD only.

  I also updated the Bios (back) to the version F.08 dispelled the problems with the version of the Bios F.09 I mentioned.

  So for the moment I am absolutely no idea what the problem might be.

  The support has not yet heard of these problems and I have not found any website which explains the same problem.

  Every posting, I found explains that the AMD card is not recognized by Windows 8 but Intel HD card.

  Someone else got the same problems?

  What do you think? Is it really a problem with the Bios?

  What can I do to solve the problem?

  for me the best driver are:

  Works Perfekt (cards during execution of the F06 BIOS and a map when F08/09) and are updated often.

• Running a server of Freelancer with Windows XP and have problems with updates

  I run a server for a game called freelancer who has been released by Microsoft in 2003. My problem is that, in recent years, when I tried to get the server working after doing a clean install of WinXP Pro and get the updates, the server hanging and not start working properly. After several installations with various combinations of what has been installed after the OS, I finally got the server works, but get this: the server runs only on Windows XP with NO updates. WHY?

  I have a theory that I can't prove it on WinXP... When Freelancer was released in 2003, XP was new and she has no security features there now, and I think that one or more of the mess of updates with the server of DirectPlay 8 which is integral to the operation of the server. Of you Eggheads Microsoft must know what I mean... I don't know enough on XP to do more to make a guess, and it's my guess...

  Thank you for allowing me to escape,
  Tanamir

  Hello

  DirectPlay has been moved to support engineering and is an obsolete API. This was done mainly because of security problems and the fact that most of the features of DirectPlay is no longer relevant. TCP/IP is the ubiquitous network protocol and support for the head-to-head modem, serial port,

  NetBIOS, IPX and other suppliers is no longer relevant. Native API for TCP/IP in Windows is WinSock, and the usefulness of the library is so limited.

  There are technologies in Windows XP SP 2 or later version that provide server under protocols of discovery to manage the features of lobbying (P2P and PNRP), and many third-party solutions exist for matching. Future Microsoft technologies for this will be based on WinSock and not of DirectPlay.

  Support in future versions of the operating system will be determined primarily by the problem of application compatibility and will continue to be available through the Platform SDK for those supporting legacy streaming of DirectPlay applications.
