Windows 8 - frequently does not work properly in suspense/questions

I'm very frustrated with windows 8. It is not that there are so many problems; I had XP, I'm used to it. Frustrating, this is how it is difficult to solve or fix the problem. I spent hours online reading and download, the setting of the obscure details...  That's enough I was forced to buy this when they gave up that bad. I would like to at least it work. Here are a few things I do deal with - please help me solve this problem.

1 Unable to access store.

2. impossible to pass to 8.1 or add apps. (Yes, I paid for an upgrade key #)

3 users, user accounts, user-difficult to browse access.
4. incomplete or no windows updates.

Hello

In this case, I suggest to perform a refresh and then upgrade to Windows 8.1 Windows 8.

It will solve the problems on Windows 8 as well as help us to upgrade to Windows 8.1 without any problems on Windows 8.

  1. You have a Windows 8 installation or recovery media?
  2. When you say you have a product key, it is for the 8.1 Windows or Windows 8?

If you don't have a Windows 8 media, you can always create one by using the product key for Windows 8. Check out the link to do so:

http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-in/Windows-8/create-reset-refresh-media

Note: you will need the product key for Windows 8 Pro to create media.

To perform a refresh, refer to:

See the section ""Rrefresh your PC without affecting your files".

http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-in/Windows-8/restore-refresh-reset-PC

Note: Apps you have installed Web sites and DVD will be deleted. Your PC apps and the apps you installed from the Windows store will be resettled. Windows puts a list of apps removed on your desktop after you refresh your PC

To upgrade to 8.1 Windows, refer to:

    I had these problems and many others using DVDs to make the backup of files.

    Please save you time sitting in front of the computer, the power to the machine with the DVD and the aggravation of not working do not after all.
    Invest in an external hard drive for backup of files. It is the most effective way.
    These days, a 1 TB external hard drive can be had for less than $100. It's money well spent.

    Thanks for the status update.
     
    CPU meter icon that shows the CPU usage and load will appear ugly/blurry when you increase the size of the font in the middle.
     
    The problem may have arose the possible reasons:
     
    1. all by increasing the size of the font, the user can enabled the option of Let me choose a level of scaling for my monitors.

  • Modules window opens but does not work properly

    It started a year ago when I got FF 2.0 and I thought it would be itself correct when I updated to 3.6, but it didn't.

    I have several add-ons that I wanted to delete. When I click on uninstall, they stopped working and the window Add on said that they would be removed to restart FF, but they do not and are still visible after a year or two.

    I have no script and wanted to turn once to see if it interfered with another program. By clicking on the button disable nothing to do, so I have to click on uninstall then it stops working, and then click on disable to activate again.

    If I click on Options onno the script, it crashes FF and I have to use the Task Manager to get out of the FF.

    Is there a way to put this back in working order?

    I don't know of a fix for this, but you can try creating a new Firefox profile:

    This device does not work properly because Windows cannot load the drivers required for this device. (Code 31) in the graphics AMD - 8151 HyperTransport (MC) AGP3.0 Tunnel, what do I do to fix this help please.

    Jake

    Hey Jake,

    Follow these methods.

    Method 1: Follow these steps:

    (a) restart your computer if you have not already done so. There is always the possibility that the error Code 31 that you see was caused by a temporary problem with Device Manager. If so, a simple reboot can solve the Code 31.

    (b) have you install a device or a change in the Device Manager, just as the Code 31 error appeared? If so, it is very possible that the modification caused the Code 31 error.

    (c) cancel the change if you can restart the computer and then check again the error Code 31. Depending on the changes, some solutions may include:

    Remove or reconfigure newly installed unit.

    Restore a version prior to updating the driver.

    Use system restore to undo the Device Manager recent related changes.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/system-restore-frequently-asked-questions

    (d) to remove the registry values filters upper and lower. A common cause of errors in Code 31 is the corruption of two registry values in the class of the CD-ROM/DVD-ROM drive registry key.

    Note: This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click the following link. http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/back-up-the-registry

    Method 2: Update the latest graphic drivers.

  • Satellite P200 accidents + message: graphic card driver does not work properly

    Hello

    hope that this issue has not been covered before, but I've owned a Satellite P200 for 3 years now, and this week, it crashes all the time.

    When it started going down he gave me a few messages in the sense of "your graphics card/driver does not work properly and windows will be arrested to avoid damage.

    It has progressed to the point where now when I turn it on, I have vertical lines running down the screen and the screen flashes on and outside. Within 20 seconds, it restores the BSOD - 'there was a problem and windows will be arrested. Error Page_Fault_In_Non_Paged_Area"then stops.

    I ran a system restore but the problem remains.

    I have a feeling that my graphics card is toast. Is this good? Are there any other options to try? Thanks in advance for any answers.

    Matt

    Hello

    Sounds like the GPU problem.
    But try the graphics card driver update.
    Use the most recent driver for your graphics card.

    In addition, clean the fans of portable computers.
    Dust and debris could prevent the cooling fans to turn with the best speed and this could lead to a higher temperature which would lead to overheating.
    Use a jet of compressed air. I also use it and it helps to get rid of dust and debris.

    If this is not enough, then a problem of graphics chip would be possible.

  • Satellite Pro M10 - infrared does not work properly

    Hello

    I have a Satellite Pro M10 and my infrared does not work. I downloaded the zip file with the drivers from this site. Then, I uninstalled and reinstalled, but it always happens in the Device Manager under "unknown - SMC IrCC - Fast Port infrared (IR Module: HP). (with an exclamation point). When I look at the properties it says under device status:

    This device does not work properly because Windows cannot load the drivers required for this device. (Code 31)

    Click Troubleshoot to start the troubleshooter for this device.

    However, under Driver Details is said:
    C:\windows\system32\DRIVERS\smcirda.sys

    I extracted the zip file in my home directory of c:\downloads\infrared.
    whatever I do, it does not now. It worked when I bought it, but I have too many things on the system for a new installation. Which brings me to another question. Is it possible to re - install windows without losing all your data, etc.? I did it with other systems (95,98) Windows. But it seems that the Toshiba recovery disc means any wiping.

    Thanks in advance for any help.
