• Windows 8 Pro: email problems, files not shown.

  I installed Windows 8 Pro on my PC and laptop.  I use a yahoo address.  Problem 1: When I enter the Mail App on the start screen and the e-mail page there is a difference between the "applications" available at the bottom of the screen when the right button of the mouse is used.  On the PC only four options, two on the left (Sync & Pin at the beginning) and two on the right (move the brand & unread).  When the same thing is done on the Laptopthere are nine options available, four options on the left (pine Sync, folder, start Options & Select All) as well as five options on the right (Print, flag, Junk, Move & mark as unread).  How do all these options to display on the PC as well?  Problem 2: on the laptop, in the upper left of the Yahoo screen appears on the screen and at the top right, there are three options (new (+), return to sender (answer) & clear).  Next to the sign of Yahoo, overcoming the messages, there are two available options (all & the icon 'search').   On the PC the Yahoo (upper-left) and three options at the top right is available, but there is no option available above messages: I can not select all or search because there is nothing is not displayed.  Messages goes all the way to the top.

  Problem 3: I want to send something that seems impossible to select the entire message.  I can not also transmit images.  How can I select the full message and transfer ALL the content?  This problem is on the PC and the laptop.  Fact: I had no problem with the good old XP and wonder why I spent the money to "upgrade"?  It seems also impossible to talk to any human being when you need help, a very frustrating situation.  Your help will be appreciated.  Kind regards.  Brandie.

• IEEE 1284 PARALLEL USB driver in Windows XP Pro SP3 problem

  I have a max system pc which has no parallel printer port and is designed to run Windows 7 or Windows XP pro. I installed XP pro. I had bought the wrong cable (USB to DB25) and inadvertently installed a driver for it that was only compatible with Win98 or me. Now, I have the right parallel to USB cable and when XP detects and tries to install it, it stands automatically and asks this Win98 / ME .inf file that does not work. Technical Support for the cable has told me to update the USB Mainboard drivers, however, is not available for download from the manufacturer of the motherboard. I think that there is something stuck in the registry that keeps pointing to this file .inf that is not valid. I want to know how to update or delete it the register so I can get a clean reinstall the driver for the IEEE 1284 cable. Thanks in advance

  See if you can see what he listed as a hidden device when its not connected.

  Panel system and launch of open control. Click the Advanced tab. Click the environment variables button. Click the new button at the top under user variables. In the name of the variable type: devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices. In variable value, type 1. Click OK, click OK again.

  Click on the Hardware tab, click the Device Manager button. Click view on the top menu and select "Show hidden devices" in the list.

  Now expand the + box next to Ports (COM & LPT). If you can see the device listed there, right-click on it and select Delete.

  If you were able to remove it from this way, you should be able to plug the new peripheral and prompted for the drivers in the usual way.

• MiFi to Windows XP Pro connection problem

  I just got a Gateway E4100 computer, this system uses the XP Pro operating system. I am trying to connect to Verizon MiFi using an Airlink wireless adapter.

• Weird Windows 8 Pro connection problem

  Hello

  I had a very weird problem when I connect to Windows 8, I will enter my PIN and the screen freezes (instead of loading with 'Welcome' beside him circle.) After that the locked screen image reappears and I need to click a button and it will return to the screen froze on the loading circle... And then it just go to the start of metro screen just like what should happen normally. Now, it doesn't cause a huge problem, but I just want to fix it.
  Thank you for your help

  Now before anyone tell to do updates, I'm far from 5/16.
  If you need more info, I will update my post.

  Hi Imran,

  Your help is very useful, I think that is the problem. As I try startup, I find that if I use the password, the computer can connect just fine, so I test this possibility under normal startup and it seems that the connection PIN method is the source of the problem.
  I have try it 7 times with each method log (all in a local, 3 test account with start restart. 4 test with an end cap). And in all the 14 test, the method of connecting PIN 7 take extra 20-25 seconds while the password method is just perfectly. Now I just use a local account with password for this computer.
  I still want to know what is the cause of the delay in logon PIN, you can give me some help Imran?
  Is there a difference between the two methods on the clearance at the level or program start?
  Thank you for your response.
  Best wish
  Chris
  P.S. I'll upload a Youtube video tomorrow to show the PIN problem.

• Windows Update Causes startup problem

  I have an interesting problem with Windows Update (or apparently is from Windows Update). I am running Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit, if that info is needed. There are two updates I have not install, as I am not sure that is the cause. The updates in question are Internet Explorer 8 and Windows Defender definitions 1.63.604.0. Here's what's happening.

  When you restart after Windows updates, the computer starts with a black screen with a mouse pointer. That's all. Happened every time I tried to start after the pdates. I can reboot into SafeMode very well, is apparently a problem driver or update.

  I also installed DivX on the computer, but it seemed to work as I could watch .avi via WMP thereafter, so I excluded. I thought that if there was a problem with it, it would not have worked in the first place, but I thought it was interesting.

  In any case, the only solution I found doing a system restore and do not install updates day or DivX, since technically I don't know which is the cause. I had to restore the system 3 times already and I didn't continue to do because this computer was very expensive and I don't want to ruin the hardware or something.

  Someone knows something about an error with updates, or perhaps with DivX that may have caused this. The computer works fine without the updates or DivX, I just want to know what could be the real problem so if it is only one of the 3, I can install the other two at least.

  Change your update settings, install the updates one at a time, hide the problem:

  Click Start > right click on computer > properties > Windows updates down the lower left corner > updates installed in the lower left corner in the next window

  > then click the one that you don't want > uninstall will appear at the top > uninstall it.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  In addition, on the page where you clicked "Installed updates", click on change settings at the top left corner it

  > Change update settings in the next page of AutoUpdate to "check for updates but let me choose etc" > OK ".

  When you take a look at pending updates, you can either download/install them one at the time, namely the update causing you problems.

  > or if you do not need an individual > right-click on > UAC prompt > hide it

  See you soon.

• After installing windows XP Pro my computer does not start correctly

  After you have installed Windows XP Pro on my HP Pavilion (updated to XP home), my computer will not end the restart process.  I have repeatedly in a loop once the blue screen with the HP logo.  When this has happened before after installing a pack of updates for XP Home, we just started in safe mode and then had it will restart at an earlier time, thus eliminating the updates.  However, now when I try to start in safe mode, I get an error message that says: "Windows Setup cannot start in safe mode" and I leave safe mode.  We hoped that by installing Windows XP Pro, this problem should go away.  Can anyone help?  I have read several other entries in the forum for similar problems, but they all have to do with updates.  This is the first time I was not able to use safe mode, so now I'm stuck.  I hope that I can avoid having to perform a full system recovery, since it is a long involved process and having once before, I always felt the same restart problems after installing updates.

  PA bear,

  Thank you for help... After reading several posts in the forum, one of them reminded people to check with the manufacturer of the computer so that possible solutions... and this is the solution here, I wish I thought of him earlier... I did a system recovery to remove the Windows HP Pro and return to the original version of the default value.  Then I went to the HP site and downloaded the patch according to their directions.  Problems fixed! :-)

  Any PERSON HAVING HARD REBOOT YOUR HP PAVILION (with an AMD processor) after you install Windows XP service pack 2 or 3 updates:

  HP has a patch that solved all my problems.  Clearly, service packs contain information for Intel processors that is in conflict with AMD processors in many HP Pavilion desktop computers.  You can go to their customer service solutions website and download the patch.  Since I did it, I had no other problems. I wish just that I had discovered the solution until I had to do a full system recovery.

  If your computer hangs on reboot 'loop', see if this info. HP will help you:

  The computer restarts after a Stop error message display 0x0000007E (after update with Service Pack 3 for Windows XP)

  If you have had problems with XP updates, including service pack 2 or 3, try this page:

• Driver with ATI Radeon HD 3850 AGP under Windows 7 Pro 32 bit problems

  Windows 7 Pro 32 bit reports after installation of the driver that no driver is present. There was patch drivers provided by ATI to solve these problems, but these drivers did not resolve the problems. Has anyone had success with this installation, and if so, would you please provide me with how you did this? Thank you. BTW, I did the ususal uninstall and then install, reinstalled the operating system via a facility clean and then installed the drivers, etc, etc. So far,nothing has worked. After Googling this issue I found that many others have had similar experiences with these driver problems. Now I have XP Pro and Win 7 Pro installed via dual boot and XP Pro is running pilots ok with no problems. Thank you!

  I came across the work of question three years ago on one of my machines.

  It is a problem of compatibility between the nForce 3 and AGP.  I don't remember the exact details, but with a nForce 3 and similar day SIS chipsets and a few others when they had a dual-core CPU in them, they would change the AGP port to use a PCI driver or something of this nature to enable the multi-core support (such as it's been hacked on toward the end of their development).  On Windows Vista and upward, such a workaround solution does not work.  SiS and some other published updates driver for the motherboard chipsets which he sorted, nVidia did not worth it, despite nForce 3 sold as Vista compatible.  nVidia pulled this stunt with a lot of things at the time, including their GeForce 5 cards, saying they supported Vista, same with the beta drivers and then they just canned originally.  They took both.

  It is a solution that will be the kind of work, but as you may have guessed, you will need to disable one of the cores of your CPU.

  You can do this by going to msconfig, click on the Startup tab, click Advanced... and changing the number of processors at 1.

  Reboot and your graphics drivers will spring magically to life.

• Dual Boot with windows XP Pro with 2 HARD drive, error on secondary windows install: "Windows did not start because of a configuration of the disk of the computer problem. Could not read the selected boot disk. Check boot path and disk hardware... »

  Hi, I recently bought a new Hitachi 1 TB internal hard drive. I wanted to do a clean install on the new drive (d), be able to dual boot my computer and leave my old 300 GB disk (C :) as the primary windows installation. After physically installing the new HARD drive, I noticed that "new hardware found" and the the brand name flashed in the bottom right corner. I thought I'd see the new hard drive in my computer, but I did not. I initialized the new HARD drive with the computer management window (right click on my computer - manage) and I also formatted in NTFS (I had to change my printer hard drive letter to assign the new HARD drive with the letter D, but I've made other changes after this step). Now, I could see and use in my main windows on the C: installation. I then installed a windows new copy XP pro with the installation CD I got for my C: but on the D: (Note: I have a Dell computer (and the Dell reinstallation CD) and my current version of windows has SP3 while the installation CD is only SP2) (I also reformatted my HARD drive during the installation of windows to NTFS)

  Now when I try to start on installing the new on my D: I get "Windows did not start because of a configuration of the disk of the computer problem. Could not read the selected boot disk. Check startup disk and hardware access path. "and another line saying to refer to manuals HARD drive and windows.

  My Boot.ini file at this time was:

  [boot loader]
  Timeout = 5
  default = multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (2) \WINDOWS
  [operating systems]
  "multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (2) \WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional "/ noexecute = optin/fastdetect
  "signature (ac516a5c) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (1) \WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional own "/ noexecute = optin/fastdetect

  I looked towards the top of this help page, but for now I'm unlucky:

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/314477

  (The next steps I took by throwing from the Windows CD and go into the repair console)

  I tried to use the bootcfg /rebuild but the line to boot.ini for my secondary HARD drive still does not work.

  He gave me something like:

  [boot loader]
  Timeout = 5
  default = multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (2) \WINDOWS
  [operating systems]
  "multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (2) \WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional "/ noexecute = optin/fastdetect
  "signature (ac516a5c) disk (0) rdisk (1) partition (1) \WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional own "/ noexecute = optin/fastdetect

  I also tried to change the signature() to multi (0), but it did not work. (or try almost all possible permutations of disk() and rdisk() partition() 0 to 2).

  I also tried to use expand F(dvd-drive):\i386\ntkrnlmp(I_have_a_duo-core).ex_ D:\windows\system32\ntoskrnl.exe and a few other combinations, but I when I login as D:\windows simply, it fails to extend with a message like "could not develop" or C:\windows I get "restricted access".

  I have not yet tried CHKDSK/r, but since I did a clean install on a newly formatted drive... I don't think it would work.

  I've also marked the partition on the D: as active (in computer management), but it did not help me.

  I've done a first installation of windows repair, strangely, I couldn't fix this one... Still does not work...

  My default windows installation yet works very well & I see that windows has been installed on the D: but I'm ideas from how to operate the dual-boot, can someone throw me a BONE on what to do?

  Maybe try to do something with the Boot Manager (whatever it is?) Create a new partition and use it as a boot manager? I don't really want to do this, because if I made a mistake I will be unable to use my computer and dual boot should work without going through all this trouble... But I found this page: http://technet.microsoft.com/fr-fr/library/ee829686%28WS.10%29.aspx

  Could a clean install two HDD help? I hope I won't have to do...

  Someone has an idea?

  PS: I'm not such an advanced user so I need a solution step by step, thanks!

  Edit: I also noted that I can't see my new HARD drive in my BIOS... weird... SATA-0 is my old drive HARD 1 and 2 are my dvd 3-5 readers are 'off' and it doesn't seem to be anything that it is plugged in. I also have 4 bays for internal HARD disks. Now, 2 are busy.

  Edit2: I looked inside my case and enabled the good Sata in the Bios after a reboot it detected the drive correctly. Dual boot doesn't always work well... The fact that it was disable in the BIOS while I was installing the new HARD drive could change anything? Hmm...

  In case I wasn't clear enough: I had a windows XP Pro installed on my C:, bought a new hard drive and installed the same copy of windows on it (d). I think that should allow me to double boot between the two installs different. Even if for some reason I can't boot from one on my D:. Andrew, I do not understand why you so far physically disconnect the other drive, the point of the whole operation is to build a boot.ini file so that the BIOS knows that it y facilities 2 windows and you allow to choose (and not have conflicting problems between the 2 systems), someone correct me if I'm wrong? "Expand" the part of my first post made reference to one of the solutions provided by Microsoft in the first link that I have included in my previous post (but I can't seem to work).

  In addition, it is the procedure that I followed: http://www.ehow.com/how_5950826_boot-two-different-hard-drives.html

  (except I've had the first installation already done).

  Andrew "also, once a new hd is plugged on the pc & running, most of the BIOS will place (them) as 1st priority hd, set the BIOS to do this", you mean that by installing separately from windows on each unit when the other is not plugged in, I could choose what disk to start from defining their priority in the BIOS once they are all plugged back? It's too tedious (as I intend to move frequently between the 2 installs) and requires a computer to other users of the lack of computer knowledge. Unfortunately, it is not a viable option.

  EDIT: I DID IT! Hmmm... Well, I double checked in the recovery console, the path of the new HARD drive with the arc command Scan. Tried to start again with the MULTI (0) in my boot.ini and it worked... I also had my windows install CD in. Maybe that is why I could not start, windows needs the CD to complete the installation? Weird, I don't know what I did to the difficulty it... but hey, it works! Thanks for your ideas guys!
