  Is it possible to change the format of Windows 8 back to the old style like Windows 7 or XP? This Windows 8 is the worst thing that ive had to face since owning a computer. When you try to browse, it takes you to some completely different screen that you don't want to go because the parameters are so sensitive. The old style was not broken.

  A change is not always a "fix."  Sometimes, it's just a change.

  I agree that you should also check your router connection. try to reset and check the protocol settings WPA - WPA2. I read in other forums that this might cause problems to windows8, so google it.

  As your computer, was there all the time it worked normally? When you bought first didi you change something?

  Try this solution from another thread. (http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Hardware/Internal-Power-Error-upgrading-Windows-10/m-p/5168771#M190265). They use it for problems with graphics drivers, but use it to your wireless drivers.  After you return to a normal startup, enter the Device Manager and reinstall the drivers that you uninstalled.  It's something like a clean install, so try.

• Lightroom 3 - the worst program ever released Adobe...

  If anyone cares to read this, I'll be the first to say DO NOT UPDATE!

  I'm spreading the word - facebook, Word of mouth, every professional photographer in THE I know, articles, etc.

  You have to raise hell to get changes.

  Lets see if Adobe will do something about these issues...

  I thought that Adobe created "beta" for a reason - to smooth out all of the kinks before they put out the disc. Nope.

  I waited for them to put updates on many issues since I bought the drive about a month ago... Still waiting Adobe!

  It's awful to look at my photos take literally 4-5 minutes to open.  Worse still, is the time it takes to record Photoshop CS5 in Lightroom - I timed it 14 min. FOR a PHOTO!

  I feel like the old time, when I made video - went out for coffee and came back to find the rotation of the wheel of death still turn.

  Oh, and I learned to speak in India today too! 3.5 hours - with no resolution to my problems.

  Susheel consulted my computer remotely - seen my catalog - see 73 000 images and request "are you a photographer?  REALLY?  Did you REALLY just ask me that Susheel?

  Why I HATE Lightroom 3 - Let me count the ways:

  1 adobe closed their technical support in Portland (I mentioned several times, and ALWAYS had my issues resolved.)  They always went above and beyond the Protocol - and we are sitting here and wonder why the U.S. economy hangs), now you have an anonymous person in India or the Philippines (which have no extension, no email, no even a direct line so when you sit on a call to 3.5 hours and must remind you start all repeatedly...) Dear Adobe - we live in 1980? You are suppose to be a LEADER in technology. 

  I am morally against outsourcing, my work is all about the death of American industrial capitalism.  In a time when the United States are in crisis, Adobe is working on moving things out of the USA.  I am outraged - you can't find someone in the US EVEN IF YOU TRIED!  The best I could do was to speak to someone in sales-wow. What makes say - of the American "well look and sound good to sell our product, but when it comes to something as technology advanced using the product and troubleshooting, we prefer to use someone without extension in another country.

  2. they don't offer support for anyone who is running on a network (they expect professionals to work off their 'c' drive or the internal hard drive to the Mac.  HA!

  3. they continued to blame my network - although my network doesn't work well, there is no limitation of access, will open directly in photoshop just fine (and fast!), absolutely worked perfectly in Lightroom 2... Yes, it's the network, riiight.
  4 Lightroom 3 is corrupt files when opening in Photoshop CS5 - if I get the chance to open
  5. when I get a photo open, it loses its filters once re-recorded in Lightroom (I sort my photos to help me navigate through the masses)-it's really bad to my workflow. When I shoot 800 images in the studio in one day - I DON'T want to go back and fish around to find a modified version that has lost its flag...

  6. I have been promised to receive a phone call 'next week' because there is no extension can I call to move forward.  I'll keep you updated - allow you to know if Anthony keeps his word.  He couldn't tell me who was going to call me, or when, but he "assure" me going to happen.

  I won't hold my breath

  Yes, it's always for lack of anyone else. It's never because they made a stupid decision to buy before making absolutely sure that the software will work for them.

  Looks like nobody is willing to take over their own actions these days.

  Thus, by this logic, Adobe doesn't have to assume ALL pushing this hack at the door?  Given that they had a ready RC almost INSTANTLY after that release should be sufficient to show that they KNEW they were pushing the rubbish at the door.  Indeed, Adobe is responsible for providing a product of buggy about bugs that CROSS platforms so it must be not the hardware of the user base of design code, or whatever it is that a given user has done.  Of course some systems may have patterns to make these issues more apparent, but it is on Adobe to treat as they should publish limitations and known configurations that can lead to potentially more problems... but these have a confession and accepts responsibility for the original version of the buggy... btw, release notes to be where we'd find info oddities and the way around post requirements being set in stone and to encourage the lowest common denomonator user.

  One more thing... LR is marketed not not like a PRO TOOL, it is sold as a tool for the average to the level hobby photographer.  It's also huge appeal to the market pro is a happy accidentally-on-purpose thing... but to rebuke people who do not feel it is their job to troubleshoot a commercial app is completely unreasonable... but more the American consumer is the largest group of beta tester on the planet... I wonder how our counterparts from the EU are fairing as ironically, they have consumer protection laws more severe... try to push a product of shit out in the German market. Hey-Hey, yes good luck with that.

  In fact, I would say that this isn't the worst software that adobe has ever pushed the door, but perhaps the worst photography software that they never sent as RTM.  Many, many associated PDF apps and utils actually could be worse and we will get in what they have done in Flash and Dreamweaver after this acquisition.  The closest analogue to you, I can see if that what is arrived at the products Norton post Norton bought by Symmantec.

  However, I am willing to give time to Adobe at this address because they did not have ready RC almost immediately.  If they did?  No way, but maybe fans put marketing patches and company in the position where he was to meet the release date, even if the problems were discovered in the pipeline already and that there would be a period of 3 to 9 weeks before the issues have been resolved for the most part.  But they did well, even those who ran the beta ran the 30 - day trial found no issues because they simply has not used this part of the program enough bugs to manifest their effects insofar as you the user realize something weird happens.

  I'm too excited so beyond belief that I depend on LR for my company, I can however work around it for a while, but I don't make any money as a photographer I use photography for my business issues, while causing huge levels of frustration, are not fatal... yet... as far as I know is I don't want to not come back to LR2.7 because I've done so work onLR3 / LR3.2RC already and the tools are indeed higher in LR3.x... When they work, and that's the rub.  So are many here say those who have these bugs affecting their income/workflow bought in this to save time and to leverage the jouississez NR/sharpness and I mean improved adjustment tools.  I do not use profiles of lens to all really so nothing special for me here.

  I have a question... I'm sure this has been asked and we answered but, eh, why not one more time because research is so "haaaard.

  but this problem affects all types of files?  I'm shooting DNG but can pass to PEF if necessary and convert import, but would rather just shoot DNG.  I'm not ready to move to the JPG format, because if I have to I have giving up too much control over my images, so I would like to LR2.7.

  In addition, what Camera RAW versions have been used in the beta and what versions are used with LR3.  I know that I've upgraded to ACR6.2 (?), or whatever the latest version.  I understand there are a ton of factors at play in these bugs but I doubt ACR is like my ancient version PS CS3 of Photoshop has no problems, of course, it uses the old version of ACR 4.6 (?) once again sorry I forgot which version exactly but it is trivial and can be determined.

  I love LR because I don't need the advanced features of PS all that often, PS is always a pleasure tool to have a backup for complicated plans if I don't have time to really go into it I would like to...

  But in general I guess I'm saying, Adobe had to know in advance the LR3 original RTM because they have ready RC almost instantly.  Of course, previous versions of LR also had the same experience a few that bugs were, well, not too powerful I guess.  I was happy with LR since the 1.x versions, but this version is painful to support... and I I posted previously I don't live with the people of refund from Adobe, likely personal off-supported who receive bonuses to talk about customers to get a refund, I will simply place a stop payment with Mastercard... that's why I use, so I don't have to leave businesses to waste my time wading through their paperwork.  And btw, Adobe knows that the client will WIN any chargeback because this piece of evidence of a known to be defective product was sold to the consumer and the customer can even the mfg to address the problem that only they have failed to provide timely.  So, if you're not happy just "go to the mattresses"... use the hammer of chargeback.  The bonus is any chargeback to the consumer cost the retailer, Adobe in my case, $35 when they lose...

• Media Player for Windows 7 is the worst program I have ever delt with and don't ever use again

  For all of you out there. I read tons of message and responses on this forum and have tried all of the solutions that I found related to my questions. Nothing and I mean nothing doesn't work, music disappears: go back to the bed the other day, or the time you use it happens repeatedly. All tracks will not add in an album album evil is a long list... no solution works or works and lasts. Microsoft really needs to think about it with the next version of Windows. I never had problems with the media player to Vista and 7. Sorry, everything but this user MP gave up.

• I hate windows 8. It is the worst program ever - how do 7 - which I never used.

  I have a desktop at home and at work with xp, that I love.  This new hp laptop is great, except for this lousy windows 8, which I hate.  It is difficult to use and did not get more easy with the time.  I would like to go back to xp, but not because of microsoft.  I've never used windows 7, but it happened to be better than this pig.   help (wish I had bought a macbook air)

  If it's Pro 8 then there are downgrade rights associated with the supplied license, this does not apply to the base license Windows 8.

  Microsoft however do not help in this process that you can not the software from them you will need to source it yourself, but when you come to authenticate you must call the authentication service to get a key.

• i290 battery life is bad, truly the worst phone EVER!

  I've had this phone for 4 days and I hate to death. It shows only the last 20 calls (I do about 50 per day) and I have to charge it every night. I've had phones for $24.99 which hold the load better than this piece of junk.

  in any case, can anyone recommend a better phone? Is there a list of phones compatible boostmobile somewhere?

  -Edited thread title, added tags.

  If you make 50 calls per day and each is about 5 minutes, then you have reached the nominal life of the battery of the phone:

  http://www.Motorola.com/consumers/us-en/consumer-product-and-services/mobile-phones/CI.i290-us-en.Al...

  There are other variables - the signal strength, other use, etc.. Since you have only had the phone for a few days, you should see all swap for something you like better.

  Hi joej49728017,

  I'm sorry for the inconvenience caused. But it's all just because Adobe Acrobat 7.0 is a stale version & now the activation server so that there is no.

  Please refer to the following KB doc.  Error: "Activation Server is not available. CS2, Acrobat 7, pass a hearing 3

  The link above will help you to install a special version that doesn't require activation.

  In case you still need assistance, please let us know. We will be more than happy to help you.

  Kind regards

• Adobe customer service is the worst I have ever known.

  I recently bought a new computer which has windows 7 64 bit.  I had Acrobat 8 and installed on the new machine.  Everything worked fine, but I had to reinstall the OS to the factory settings because it would freeze at least once a day.  When I reinstalled AA8 I couldn't create more pdf files, pdf and pdf add-ins printer would not work.  I sent a request for technical support by e-mail and told me that AA8 is not supported in Windows 7.  The fact that it worked the first time was just a stroke of luck, they said.  I upgraded to AA9 and know that I can not open several documents in the same window.  I read the comments and see that Adobe has said that they are working on a fix in 2008.  I'm guessing that the fix will be released in AA10 and we can all pay to upgrade again.  I called Adobe to see what was the status of the correction and after pressing the selection of automated phone appropriate to talk to someone about a problem using AA9 I was transferred to a facility support tech who couldn't help me.  She me then transferred to the correct Department, only for me to hear a recording that they are now closed.  All this happened the day after the day where I spent 3 hours on hold with technical support and no one has ever answered the phone.  I think I'll look for another program and get a refund on this upgrade.

  You can check out some of the posts here about using AA8 and Win7, but you will probably need to be updated at least 8. 1. part of the problem is probably the X 64 platform, but it does not help your problem. We hope you are out some of your system here. We are just users with similar frustrations with the personal support is how many of us found here in the first place. Your comment is so not a surprise. Good luck.

• Windows Update continues to re - install the udates even ever - Vista

  How can I fix the problem please?

  I found this on another thread and asked how to get rid of the icon and this is the response I got:

  At least in Win 7 just go to control panel / Windows Update / select the updates to install

  Then deselection (clear the check box), and THEN right click on the line and select "hide update".

  You must do this line by line - if you make a multiple selection you do not get the prompt to hide the update.

  I have Vista, but it worked this way too.
