• The Windows 8.1, Firefox runs on a local account but not on a domain account

  I just moved to Surface Pro 3 running Windows Pro 8.1. Firefox works correctly when you are connected to a local account. When you are connected to a domain account, Firefox will run *.html documents properly on a disc, but doesn't show any response to any internet orders. I have disabled the firewall for the domain - no change. I changed the domain account for administrator - no change. I have reset Firefox to default setting - no change. I created a new profile - no change. I disabled the hardware accelerator - no change. I've uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox several times - no change, what should I try then help identify the problem.

  I solved the problem. My browser Internet Explorer (IE) has been configured to use a proxy server. Firefox has been set to "Use system proxy settings", but do not have the name of the proxy server. Remove the IE proxy server solves the problem. Maybe Firefox should use "Autodetect proxy for this network settings' as default, Firefox installation setting is not dependent on the settings of IE year / this.

  In my computer with Windows8 I use a local account, I try to change to the microsoft account and the computer just tells wait and does not make it.

  Hello

  Thank you for writing to us, we are happy to provide assistance to the Microsoft Community.

  Have you tried to move the Local account to a Microsoft Account (Outloook.com or Live.com)?

  I see that you are not able to pass the local account to Microsoft Account (Gmail account). I would like to inform you that, as of January 30, 2013, Google has stopped supporting new links to service Regional (Exchange ActiveSync) in some cases. The EAS is a technology that allows you to synchronize your email, calendar and contacts between multiple devices (like your desktop, laptop and tablet). This means that January 30, 2013, Google services, you can synchronize with your PC running Windows 8.1 and Windows RT 8.1, and how you synchronize them, will change.

  For more information, please see the link below:

  How to sync Google services with Windows

  To test the question, I would recommend that you create a new Microsoft Account (Outlook, Hotmail or Live) and check if you can pass a Local account Microsoft Account.

  Hope the helps of information provided. We know in case you need more help.

• Windows 8 Mail App and Local account

  I can buy a new laptop to Windows 8.  I have a Microsoft Account my email Hotmail.com.   However, I would like to connect to Windows 8 with a LOCAL ACCOUNT.

  So, I'll be able to use the Mail application?   If not, how can I download my Hotmail, AOL and Gmail accounts?

  In addition, you can give me a link to show me how to use the Windows 8 desktop, please?

  1. No, you can use the desktop version of Skype without interfering with the modern pre-installed version.  I make myself on my computer at home. It has a touch screen, but the screen if sits on a shelf so I rarely actually touch.  It means to me, the office is more useful.  In fact, you can even with the right button and uninstall the Skype modern if you won't use it.
  2. Yes absolutely, you can login with your account MS with Skype, even if you use a local account on the PC.
  3. I don't know what you're talking about with APS, I'm sorry.  Maybe I have not had enough coffee yet.  But almost all purposes, you can certainly use Google Chrome.  I do a lot of work site, so I practically all browsers on my PC to test the various functions.

• Need to change password on the first login to the local account in Windows 8/8.1/10

  I need to create an about a dozen local accounts on a MS Surface Pro 3 running Windows 8.1 which is shared in a working environment.

  I would create each account with a fake password and force the user to change the password immediately to the first connection.

• How can I remove a local account in windows 8?

• If I update to windows 8.1 through my local account, all my files and all my information are saved?

  I have windows 8 on my desktop, I do not use a Microsoft account to connect to it, I use a local account. If I update to windows 8.1 all my files and all my information stored? and I will be able to connect to my local account without losing any of my information, such as files and app?

  Original title: I have a Local account on windows 8.

  Yes, absolutely.  This 8.1 update is really pretty as a Service Pack or set of updates.

  The only thing I can think of that can only be an impact for you, it's to the point 8.1 of Windows, you cannot use SkyDrive (now called OneDrive) unless you use a Microsoft Account on your profile.  In other words, you can not just use 'on the side '.  That could be a deal breaker if you rely on OneDrive to store all your files and settings.  But if you are not using OneDrive today, then it don't you impact at all.

• I can map a network drive by using the appropriate credentials, but access is denied (by default local account for navigation)

  I have a laptop running XP SP3.  If I connect locally to the laptop and you try to map a network from a server drive on my network, it invites me for a username and password that I offer and the player must then be mapped.  The problem is that when I click on the new player, I get an access denied message.  It tries to connect to the share with my local account that has no access privileges.  Previously it tempt me a username and password, but apparently, I changed some security settings and it doesn't do this more.

  The same thing happens if I use the command net use.  I can map the drive by providing an appropriate user name and password, but I can't browse it in windows Explorer.  I really want to understand the context that controls if you get a prompt when you access a resource on the network.  I think that it is related to the setting of security strategy for network access: sharing and security for local accounts.  I played a bit with it, but in vain.

  I realize that I could probably add an account with the same username / password for my local account on the server and give access to my file shared.  I don't want to do that.  I have several users who share the laptop and access the local account access (I realize this is not ideal, but it is inevitable at the present time).  I don't want to have access to this network share.

  Can someone help me get my login prompt?  I searched on google for the last 2 days trying all kinds of suggested solutions, but I couldn't find one that works.

  Too bad... I was hoping that was the problem.  But at least it now asks you a name of user and password :-)

  Apart from that, you could look to make sure that NetBios over TCP (NetBT) is enabled on the client.  Deactivation of this force a direct hosting of SMB which sometimes has problems.

  "Hosting of SMB over TCP/IP direct".
  <>http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/204279 >

  Your latest comments seem to point to a followed initial connection or bad connect more or maybe you is not authenticated as expected.  A few quick tests, I did showed that if you connect using TCP/IP address instead of the computer name and specify everything, including the scope of user name online net "use", it reduces the network traffic needed to establish a connection.  As a test on a client, from a command prompt, try a syntax such as:

  NET use * \\192.168.1.10\share /user:192.168.1.10\username password

  Where "192.168.1.10" is the IP address of the server, 'share' is the name of the action that you want to connect to and "username" is the local user on the server to which you authenticate you.  If you use domain identification information, substutite for "192.168.1.10" domain name in the "/ user:" part.  If you log to a local account server from a name of user and password graphic prompt, try to including the name of the computer and the user name in the user name as in Nom_ordinateur\Nom_utilisateur area.  If it does not, unless there is really something wrong with the access permissions, I'm out of ideas.

  Good luck

• How can I change a password for the local account of a pc that can not be connected remotely?

  Hi all

  I am currently based in London. I have a problem with the laptop of a staff based in Africa. We built the laptop and it shipped to them. As part of the construction, we put on our account standard administrator and then made a local account that they are not connected to our area.

  The user in this Africa Office has changed the local password of its account and now don't remember making it so the unable to connect to PC. I don't want to tell him our administrator password, because it is the same for all our PC in the world. I have studied a lot of things to try to connect to the computer, but it is now possible.

  I tried:

  1 navigation to the machine from another pc on the network using explroer and I see the C drive.

  2. I tried to run this command, but I get just error 1219: net use \\pcname\ipc$ / user: pcname\administrator *.

  3 RDP will not work, it will not just connect.

  4. the PC that I use is 8 Windows Home Edition and none of the business I've noticed is a problem of computer management doesn't have users and groups it seems. The remote pc is Windows 7 Enterprise.

  So for now I just a laptop that is stuck on the login screen.

  I guess I'm doomed then?

  No, you are not condemned. I gave you a recipe to solve your problem. Give the person a password for admin for a few minutes does not compromise the integrity of the machine, as long as you then reset the password in a few minutes.

  If this person can burn a CD repair system on another machine of Windows 7 then it can use to start the machine in Windows Repair Mode. From there it can use system restore to set up Windows to a point before he changed the password. You need to exercise on your own machine to guide him through the process.

• Help, please! Impossible to pass local account for microsoft

  I got a Samsung ATIV smart PC 500 t as a gift today and I'm going to be very difficult to implement. I tried on and off for about 14 hours now without success.  Here is what happened:

  I've updated the PC software told me to. (there was a brochure stating that I needed to update before using my keyboard dock)

  I put the PC by using a local account, because for some reason, he said it was impossible to add my Microsoft account I created today specifically for this PC.

  I tried several times to switch to the Microsoft account and I get the error message

  "We're sorry, but something went wrong. your account has not been changed to this account from Microsoft.

  "Code: 0x800b0101.

  What does that mean? Why this is happening and what needs to be done to solve this problem?

  I also tried using the tiles, hoping maybe going this route would allow me access to my Microsoft account so that I can at least use the apps and what not.  When you try to open the store, I have this message: 'we are could not connect to the Bank. It could have happened due to a problem with the server or the network connect timed out. Please wait a few minutes and try again. "I also tried via the contacts, messages and weather applications. Whenever I get similar error messages.

  Obviously, I'm not very savvy, connect my internet computer works correctly, I am able to access the various web pages (even if I get a warning message of security for each of them, which is very annoying).

  Anyway, I can't understand this. Does anyone have a tip or useful information? Can I use my PC.

  Thank you!!

• How to show the apps store between local accounts

  With the help of win8pro 64-bit

  Were using a local account (admin) for a while with a lot of apps on the store and other desktop applications.
  Now created a second local account: desktop appears but no apps Store.
  What to do to have the app appear in all accounts created?

  There are a few desktop applications that work this way actually. For example, in years past, even an administrator-level user could install Google Chrome.  When they did, it was available for them (it did not installed in the Program Files folder, because you must be an administrator to do so).  Google Chrome is an excellent example of a user install.

  Windows Store in Windows 8 applications work the same way: they are all per-user installations.  In this way each user manages not only their own settings, but in fact their own full copy of the application. If Joe wants to download the new version of an application, this will not affect version of Jane of the app.

  Some consider each user installs to be an advantage. I have only one user account on my PC so I didn't really mind.

• How to convert the local account to a Microsoft account?

  Help please. I'm trying to convert a local account log in on a Windows PC to a microsoft account so I can activate parental controls for my son. God knows why you can't control a local account not more. However, I do not get an option to convert - any help appreciated please.

  You should be able to do it by opening the PC Settings page and select "Accounts" (the fastest way there is in the start menu, click on the picture of the user and select ' edit photo account ").

  Just under the user name, you should see a link: "To connect to a Microsoft account" click on a link and follow the instructions.
