Why Microsoft get rid of DVD Maker on W8?

Maybe it's a hidden feature for most, or software to others who knew unpopular was there and working every day with the video. Whatever the reason, makes this program isn't around more ways for the occasional need to burn a DVD movie that I buy a separate program running me almost $40 if I want to get rid of the tattoo. Wasn't the productivity and the 'all-in-one' feel that made Windows so big? So why get rid of the software rather than integrate or merge programs so that they become more powerful so useful and popular. Microsoft can you please restore DVD Maker to W8? or the integration of it as a tab in Movie Maker, I think it would sell even better. Someone at - he agree?

    Hello SuperComicCollecter 101,

    Welcome to the Microsoft Answers Forum!

    You can't even download new menus/styles; You can then bring yourself with the SDK pack that you can download from the official website of Microsoft. It would be a bit complicated, but if you are good at programming you can use this SDK package. There are many online tutorials that will help you.

  • Why Firefox get rid of my ads even if I use anti-ad?

    I use FireFox 3, because the most recent Firefox isn't good in my opinion and keep ads showing everywhere, even if I installed in my modules anti-ad and plu adblocker.

    First of all, do not install two different modules that do the same thing. Secondly, Adblock Plus is to keep; did you have a registration for a subscription of Filterset (toll-free)? Adblock Plus doesn't block anything without filters, a Filterset subscription or your own set of filters that create your block and over time you see things you don't want to see each one.

    Hi EatonmcMT,

    1. what security software is installed on the computer?

    2 did you do changes on the computer before the show?

    I suggest you scan your computer with the Microsoft Security Scanner, which would help us to get rid of viruses, spyware and other malicious software.

    The Microsoft Security Scanner is a downloadable security tool for free which allows analysis at the application and helps remove viruses, spyware and other malware. It works with your current antivirus software.

    http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

     

    Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner ends 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.

    Important: During the scan of the hard drive if bad sectors are found, the scanner tries to repair this sector, all available on which data may be lost.

    Let us know if that helps.

  • Why get rid of Windows XP

    When Windows XP is supposed to be eliminated?  I have it and love it.  Why get rid of it?

    Microsoft will stop supporting Windows XP on April 1, 2014.  This means no security updates more (for example, you can continue to use XP, but if your computer connects to the Internet, you will be more and more at risk).

    Windows XP was introduced in 2001, which means that next April, it will be almost 13 years. It is old enough for the software.

    Microsoft introduced new products and stops in support of the former products, for the same reason any business done: he wants to make money.

    You can download and use Process Explorer to see exactly what is taking your time processor/CPU and memory.  This can help you to identify applications that you might want to consider alternatives for and get rid of all together.

    You can disable hibernation if it is enabled and you do not...

    When you Hibernate your computer, Windows saves the contents of the system memory in the hiberfil.sys file. As a result, the size of the hiberfil.sys file will always be equal to the amount of physical memory in your system. If you don't use the Hibernate feature and want to reclaim the space used by Windows for the hiberfil.sys file, perform the following steps:

    -Start the Control Panel Power Options applet (go to start, settings, Control Panel, and then click Power Options).
    -Select the Hibernate tab, uncheck "Activate the hibernation", and then click OK. Although you might think otherwise, selecting never under "Hibernate" option on the power management tab does not delete the hiberfil.sys file.
    -Windows remove the "Hibernate" option on the power management tab and delete the hiberfil.sys file.

    You can control the amount of space your system restore can use...

    1. Click Start, right click my computer and then click Properties.
    2. click on the System Restore tab.
    3. highlight one of your readers (or C: If you only) and click on the button "settings".
    4 change the percentage of disk space you want to allow... I suggest moving the slider until you have about 1 GB (1024 MB or close to that...)
    5. click on OK. Then click OK again.

    You can control the amount of space used may or may not temporary Internet files...

    Empty the temporary Internet files and reduce the size, that it stores a size between 64 MB and 128 MB...

    -Open a copy of Microsoft Internet Explorer.
    -Select TOOLS - Internet Options.
    -On the general tab in the section 'Temporary Internet files', follow these steps:
    -Click on 'Delete the Cookies' (click OK)
    -Click on "Settings" and change the "amount of disk space to use: ' something between 64 MB and 128 MB. (There may be many more now.)
    -Click OK.
    -Click on 'Delete files', then select "Delete all offline content" (the box), and then click OK. (If you had a LOT, it can take 2 to 10 minutes or more).
