What happens if I update my Windows 8?
Because I had problems with my Windows and other applications not opening not subway store, I would like to do a refresh of the system.
To answer your questions. All programs installed no the shop such as DVD/CD and downloads, you have done will be all deleted and a list of these will be placed on your desktop. Your pictures, videos, personal, music is preserved. Updated all the drivers will need to be reinstalled. That being said, you should always back up any personal items you don't want to lose, because everything happens. Hope this helps and if you need another post to help and we will be happy to help you.
The above opinion is mine and mine nothing and does not necessarily reflect that of Microsoft, it's employees, or any other Member of this forum.

The thing about automatic updates told me that I should install Windows XP SP3, because the one I have is no longer supported? I went to see what I have to do before installing it, and it says that I need to create backups... and I kinda don't know even what exactly is the SP 3 and what happens when I install it?

Hello
It seems that the Autorun feature is disabled. I suggest you follow the steps mentioned in the article below.
The Autorun feature or the AutoPlay feature does not work when you insert a CD-ROM into the CD drive
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/330135
If this does not work then, I suggest you do a system restore to the point when the system worked very well and see if the problem is resolved.

What happens to my codec on Windows Movie Maker?
Could not import the file F:\Documents and Settings\Ron Haley\My Documents\My Videos\2011-04-03\Title 1. mpg because the necessary codec to play the file is not installed on your computer. If you have already tried to download and install the codec, close and restart Windows Movie Maker, and then try to re-import the file.
This is the message I get when I try to open my Windows Movie Maker project. That is what it is? Please, I beg you!
Movie Maker has problems of compatibility with MPG files.
Even if you managed to import and edit the file... it
could be problems when you attempt to make the final
project in a movie file.Best bet would be to convert the MPG for the WMV file
format before inmporting in Movie Maker.There are many programs that can do conversions...
The following freeware is an example...:(FWIW... it's always a good idea to create a system)
Restore point before installing software or updates)Format Factory
http://www.videohelp.com/tools/Format_Factory
(the 'direct link' is faster)
(the file you want to download is: > FFSetup260.zip<>
(FWIW... installation..., you can uncheck
('all' boxes on the last screen)First, you will need to decompress the file or just open the
Drag FFSetup260.exe out of the folder
and drop it on your desktop. To install left click.Next, after the download and installation of Format
Factory... you can open the program and
left click on the toolbar, the "Option" button and
"Select an output folder to" / apply / OK.
(this is where you find your files after they)
are converted)Drag and drop your video clips on the main screen...
Select "all to WMV" / OK...
Click on... Beginning... in the toolbar...
That should do it...
Good luck...

What happened to the great free windows XP program that was called Microsoft FIXIT?
I had downloaded Microsoft fairly new 'Fixit '. On some time last month, it upgraded to I'd think about Windows 7. I say that this becaude nothing about this could work longer for my pc (WinXP-HE, sp3). He also had Windows 7 listed in the menu with FixIt help to use... Well, I had to remove it. Kept getting no loadups for each separate item.
Is there still a Microsoft FIXIT there for us die hard XP sp3 users?
Thank you!

What happened to the traditional welcome window in Dreamweaver CC 2015?
When I opened the new version of Dreamweaver CC 2015, the traditional welcome screen is replaced by a very colorful rendering, but none of the lists of options and information. Anyone know how I can go back to the traditional welcome window?
