Windows 8 a piece of junk, or I did something wrong

We got a new comp preinstalled with windows8 and IE10. I knew it would be a big change in XP that I used before.  I asked countless questions in the Microsoft community to different things and one person has responded with a number of things to check... I could not because what I was asked to look for was not there, or what they described was totally different. EG: they told me to go to the settings in the charming bar and hit, well he did not part. I looked today and the only things left on the list of settings (search, tiles and help). What is happening, is this model removing things with a clean mind.  It tends to put things on my homepage as well. Not a lot of other work on that either, as it should be.  Someone please help.

I find as funny, if you have any questions about windows8, you pay for a windows technology to talk to you. It's like they are even behind their product once they have your money.

Please go here and watch the videos on the use of win 8

  • BlackBerry Smartphones please help me with this piece of junk

    I'm the unhappy owner of a Reub curve 8310. Today out of the blue voice dialing has stopped working. Then my Media Player froze. I started getting the dreaded hourglass timer icon, and then he started to drop my calls as well.  Quickly, I deleted all the emails and phone records as well as previous messages. I have very limited photos and music. I am aware that the pathetic OS memory is easily swamped. I have a chip addtl (4g), but the phone does not DEFAULT him even if it is configured to do it, not even with the PIC or the music as far as I know. I downloaded the pathetic 4.2.2 on PC with the (yet another poorly designed software) Roxio Media Manager. The part of corrupt media my Vista 32 bit OS on my laptop (Roxio) Manager. I had to unload the 4.2.2 so I wouldn't have to reload Vista 32 OS and lose all the data on my PC. I'll try to reload v4.2.2 w/o Roxio in the simple goal to reload the OS on my crunchberry so I can get this piece of crap to work just at least for a while. This is my primary phone for individuals and businesses. What a disaster!

    My questions are:

    1. after loading 4.2.2 w/o Roxio how do I load a pic and music on the extra memory on the phone if I have Roxio to sync with my phone. Can I just open 'my computer' access to the phone and drag items into the file 'music' for the phone or the file 'image' for the phone, or it comes will load it in the pathetic czec OS?. In other words the Roxio is the only way to load music and media in the additional memory chip?

    2. the 4.5 update my phone help or just make things worse. It's the only option I get when I search under systems OS phone for the 8310curve.

    3. What are some basic maintenance steps to keep this thing running stable. I lost two hours time valuable work up to now and, eventually, a client trying to fix this piece of junk. The desktop items only addtl I are icons for google maps and yellow pages that appeared when my browser first went to the line.

    Thank you

    Sorry for my sharp tone, you could imagine my frustration since I am self-employed independent and customers are precious at this moment. I appreciate your detailed response. I hope I can do the Curve 8310 proceed as you mentioned.

    Thank you

  • Phone call from Windows saying I had many junk files - is it a scam?

    I have Windows Vista HP on my laptop.  Last night, I received a phone call from someone who said he was from Windows & my computer is slow because I had so many unnecessary files.  I was skeptical, but he did as he asked, via start > computer > etc, then typed in 'unwanted Prefetch"as indicated by him who brought up a list of files, which many have been marked! Error.  He kept saying: ' Oh my God ' when I told him this topic, but that Windows could help solve this & not to worry.  Guests were about to happen, so I asked if I could remind him.  Wasn't the answer, but he was going to call again on Monday night.  "Are you in India?", I asked.  "No, Oxfordshire, but I'm of the India.".   I again asked her name/number - he said Sam Hoggard and began to give me the - 5210-01865 - number when my phone battery ran out and cut the call.

    I can't find that any info on this situation from the web, so my question is - is this likely to be a real call?  Windows are proactively calls users?

    Hello hklovejoy,

    Thank you for posting and this bring to our attention.  I can assure you that Microsoft DO NOT contact customers by phone this way.  The engineers of the technical support of Microsoft with customers by phone, only time is if the client contacts the help desk first and asks that we call them.  It looks like the command he had run just listed files but just to be on the safe side I am you provide a link to a post in our security and our Forum of privacy that deals to get rid of spyware or malicious software.  I highly recommend that you read and follow the instructions in the Microsoft MVPs.  The scans are free and I invite you to run all 3 they recommend.  Here is the link to this post:

    Let us know what are the scans.  If they detect viruses or software malware and you need assistance with remove them if please post a reply and let us know.  Make sure that you include the name of the detected virus/malware, error messages Word for word on the screen that you get, and a description of any behaviour of Bazaar that you noted with your computer.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones piece of junk

    It is probably redundant, but I need to get it out. This thing is a frustrating piece of crap embarrising. TELUS is my service provider and they said more or less, sucks to be you, you bought, too badI cant belive RIM would actually put something this bad outside. There is no excuse for that at all.

    Your choice to laugh or not. He is in good health, try it. I certainly am. 

    For other non-personal questions

    Answer these:

    1. how old is the unit, still in the one year warranty? If so, Exchange it.

    2. options > memory. How much memory is process free?

    3. options > status. What is the overal free file?

    Finally, OS.122 is quite old and has never been a good in my opinion.

    Upgrade to the latest OS officially released, which is not OS.148 et.151.

    These two works wonders on the 9530 for speed and lightweight of a large part of the LAG.

    http://www.BlackBerryForums.com/General-9500-series-discussion-storm/192421-OS-9530-4-7-0-203-4-7-0-...

    The upgrade of the OS will help most of the problems.

    Keep about 20 MB file free will help many others.

    I do not know the icon of a pusher and an another opening. Which is not loud noise and if upgrading the OS does not lighten this question and a few others, get an Exchange if still in warranty.

  • My computer with Windows 7 Home updated for Firefox v34.0.5 but my two computers that are running Windows 7 Pro have not yet updated beyond Firefox v34.0. Something wrong?

    See info above. I re - run the update process at least 10 times on the two machines running Windows 7 Pro (most recently this morning), and whenever the two machines running Windows 7 Pro (one is 64-bit, one is 32-bit) say that Firefox v34.0 is "up-to-date". I checked Mozilla.org, which States that Firefox v34.0.5 was released in mid-December, but he said nothing about whether this update was only for some OSs. I also ran several scans antivirus from different vendors on two machines running Windows 7 Pro and all scans show no problems.

    Please advise is there are different versions of Firefox for Windows 7 family or Professional Edition, or if I'm having a problem. If I'm having a problem, please tell us how I can correct.

    We changed how updates were deployed to a test, that's why you were probably the 34.0.5 on a computer and 34.0.0 on the other. The only difference between them is that 34.0.5 defines yahoo as the default search. You don't need to worry because of the different versions (who both were released at the same time BTW)

  • External Toshiba HDD problem. Something wrong with Windows I think.

    Toshiba ALU 3.5 "1.5 TB external HARD drive problem
    Hello!

    I'm having a problem with a new external HARD drive, I bought a couple of months.

    The HARD drive is recognized by Windows XP as a disk 3,5 '' HARD, but then he invites for drivers and never.
    They say drivers should be on the HARD drive itself, but my computer does not access the drive and never
    He attributes a letter or anything like that.

    The disc works on all the other computers I've tried with. My computer is since 2006, so maybe
    It is an age problem. I do not know.

    I drive came as FAT32 and I tried to format it in NTFS, but it does not work.

    I have completely updated the DELL drivers (bios, chipset, etc) and Microsoft (SP3/etc), then it cannot be a problem of drivers, it can?

    MORE DETAILS:

    Hey guys, it seems that the problem is more complicated. Here are two other discoveries that later, I did:

    I accidentally uninstalled a USB root hub, and all of my usb devices stopped working. I had to read on how to re - install, and most of the people, said that Windows should do it by itself. There can be no. So the next thing I did was uninstall all the USB controllers, on the assumption that Windows XP should reinstall automatically thereafter. Windows did not have this too!

    Although Windows has detected something, it does not recognize as a controller and have not installed the drivers for them. I had to manually tell Windows to look in C:/windows\system32\drivers and C:/Windows/c:\windows\servicepackfiles/i386 to each controller. It was tiring.

    I finally reinstalled all my usb controllers and my webcam works well again. But has not fixed the problem HARD drive.

    This is related somehow the problem of HARD drive, because I plugged my hard drive to a friend's computer and tried to put my computer on a USB key. Guess what, the USB is noticed by windows, but not recognized or installed in 'my computer '. The same story!

    I must tell you that in early December, I removed an old Go 700 Siemens drive of my system without "Safely uninstall" and it crashed HARD drive. Now, I realize that this accident probably missed my copy of windows, or my computer. I'm not sure of that... ?

    I believe that all these problems are related. It seems centered on the ability of Windows to detect large storage via USB devices. My webcam, for example, works very well.

    Well, I'm always working hard to solve this problem, but if you have any ideas, please let me know!

    All the best,
    M.

  • Windows Defender does not illuminate. Said he did not need with MS security essential

    Asked to click on the link to activate MS Windows Defender. By clicking on the link does nothing. It told me that Windows Defender is not necessary when MS Security Essentials is installed and has probably been disabled. Should I remove Windows Defender and use only Security Essentials. Is this correct?

    Hello:

    It is true that you no longer need Windows Defender after installing MSE.

    However, you do not have to uninstall it. It has in fact been disabled. You can delete all of your shortcuts, if you wish.

    Is no longer, you try to run Windows Defender, that's why I recommend you delete your desktop shortcuts and or the menu of the program. Just pretend it isn't there. This isn't hurt anything by remaining installed.

  • Halo 2 Vista on Windows 7 problems: LIVE service may be unavailable, or something something something network.

    Sorry for the vague description of the context menu I get, but I recently (a few months ago) got an Asus G73JH - RBBX05 laptop Windows 7 64-bit games and I ordered Halo 2 Vista if I could play multiplayer fun. Soon, I encountered many problems play.

    My first problem is that I got a popup saying there was an update that should be installed, and when I chose 'Yes', he waited for a while and then said "the update could not be downloaded.

    I CORRECTED THIS (hard to believe) ME by going to the site of Halo 2 Vista and download the manual patch. After that, I had no longer the popup. Unfortunately, I had one OTHER PROBLEM that I still have trouble.

    Now when I press home and connect to my account LIVE, IvanTheBrutal, (gold) he's going to the ' download profile. It may take a few minutes.' phase.

    Capitalized for emphasis...

    AFTER A WAIT OF A FEW SECONDS, I GET A POPUP SAYING "THE SERVICE MAY BE UNAVAILABLE, OR SOMETHING THE NETWORK SOMETHING".

    I tried this method of 8 steps of fixing (I found it here: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vistagaming/thread/ba12104b-87f2-4b4d-81e0-9466ae91bf5d)

    It did not work. Nothing is changed.

    I have the latest version of the GFWL client (which doesn't seem to be the problem.) I tried to disable Kaspersky, download to bypass the problem and method of 8 steps, I spoke earlier. Nothing has failed.

    If someone could help me with this problem, so I can play Halo 2 multiplayer LIVE Vista, I appreciate it.
