• Windows 8, windows install keeps flashing on the screen several times only WILL NOT STOP

  Hello

  I'm having a weird bug, that I have not met before with windows install.

  I tried to install a version of MS Access 2000 Runtime on my machine to windows 8 dell inspiron 660. (The company I work again to use access 2000 Apps)

  The installation failed and basically the planted program without completing the installation.

  Immediately after what happened the windows Setup window started blinking on the screen very fast.

  I tried a system restore, the program Microsoft 'fix - it' (do not do anything), and I have restored the registry from a backup without success.

  The ONLY medium to stop flashing windows setup is to stop the windows service install, but when you start to use the pc new installer windows itself will start up and the flashing continued.

  I can't find a way to disable windows full installer (apparently windows 8 will not let you change the start type services.msc )

  Dell technical support was also no help because they wanted me to pay the money even if its in warranty.

  I'm thinking really just install xp on it and be done with this...

  HERE IS A VIDEO OF THE PROBLEM

  Help, please!

  Hello

  Please keep us updated.

  I understand that the Windows 8 bootable USB device is not detected during the execution of refreshment in the computer.

  You can check the BIOS for the boot priority setting if the USB device is enabled or not. Check the steps in the manufacturers Web site to change the priority of the computer starts.

  If this doesn't help, you can try to re-installation through the disk or media that you have, otherwise follow the link below.

  When you buy Windows 8 an email with the download link and purchase details will be sent to your email address that you use to purchase / register your product, you can simply access email and use the download in links for the re - download to your computer.

  Norton and Winmail opener do not at all agree.  You need at least to turn off e-mail scanning in Norton and then delete your account, close and reopen WinMail, and then add it back again.  See www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3

• Windows Explorer keeps returning to the file at the top of the file

  I recently started to experience a problem with the Windows Explorer. When I display the contents of a folder with many files or folders in there, so that the vertical scrolling is necessary, I find that if I scroll down (by any method), after about seven seconds, the display returns to show the files/folders at the top of the list, regardless of the question to know if I still have my finger on the mouse button. Also, if I try to change a file name, if I'm not done in 7 seconds approximately., it restores the original file name and any change that I was typing is lost.

  Any suggestions?

  Problem seems to be fixed, thank you.
  Methods 1 and 2 did not find any problem. Method 3 (Clean Boot) disappear the problem (of the erratic behavior of windows Explorer). I removed several non-Microsoft services that I don't think are necessary and restored Normal startup. The cause of the problem is somewhere between the services that I stopped, but I don't know which application is the culprit. However, none of these services are required and the system boots faster without them!

  I also discovered - finally - how to defeat the free trial of Bullguard I want!

  Thank you

• Is - this Windows 2003 64-bit supports the USB WD My Passport HIS drive?

  I bought a WD 2 TB my drive USB of HIS passport and tried to connect to a windows 2003 64-bit server, but the drive does not appear in the list of local drive. I checked in the computer management > Device Manager > ComputerName > discs and found that there is a driver for device usb WD My Passport 0748.

  I conect the usb WD drive in my windows XP machine and copy the driver ITS \\Extras\WD device driver folder and transferred to local drive of the windows 2003 server and I tried to update the driver but the driver update failed and telling me that there are no compatible driver in the source folder.

  Here are the contents of the folder:

  wdcsam - security catalog

  wdcsam - information for installation

  wdcsam - file system

  wdcsam64 - file system

  I tried to search the site Web of WD for the compatible driver 64 bits, but, according to the Internet, the USB doesn't have a driver for windows because its use of the microsoft driver. Below are the links related to the topic of Microsoft and WD which, in my case, does not contribute to the problem.

• Error "Windows has encountered a problem installing the software driver for your device." Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error trying to install it.

  So I got a wireless mouse for my first time and it won't even install on my computer. It isn't the mouse because I tried other wireless mice and none of them work. In my device under other devices Manager there are only 2 USB receivers listed with question marks next to them. It is said that they can not find the drivers for the device. Then under my HIDDEN I tried to update the HID-compliant device and the USB input device, nor able to update. This is the message I get.  Windows encountered a problem installing the software driver for your device. Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error trying to install it. Peripheral HID-compliant, the system cannot find the specified file. I already contacted EVGA about the issue, because there is where I got my motherboard, but they said to contact Microsoft and I didn't really want to pay 50 dollars to send them an email. That's all just ridiculous.

  Well, I found the solution, just in case anyone has the same problem.  Apparently some day caused Wireless does not work on several computers. So you go into Manager for all of these research and device drivers manually. Then, you look for in C/windows/winsxs. Then the wireless mouse/keyboard should work.
