Windows 8 settings will not be saved when logged in

Original title: HELP!

I don't even know if this is the right topic, but my computer is messed up. I have a HP 2000 with Windows 8. There has been a few times when I try to connect, it takes forever and eventually lose all my settings and programs. However, when this happens, I restart my computer and the problem is corrected. This time, however, I tried to reboot several times, by closing it down, even make a forced to close, and none of these things work. I have not any settings or any programs that I had downloaded. This site does not even recognize briefly my account, although fortunately, which is now fixed. I am extremely frustrated.

Erin,

Since you are able to boot to the desktop, please use the search option in the bar of charms and try to search for programs, image files using the file name and see if you are able to locate them.

If you fail to search for files and folders, I suggest you to contact a local technician to get this issue sorted.

This could be a problem with the temporary profile.  Then please contact a local technician to get this fixed number.

    When I try to choose between modes of inverted in display - screen screen resolution

    Also, ctr-alt-left performs a rotation 90 and not running yet.

    I need the screen to rotate 270, how could I do?

    Thanks in advance,

    Thank you for visiting the Forums HP's Support and welcome. I read your thread on your Windows 7 and display rotated 270 degrees. Here is a solution from a third party site. Turn on your computer and wait for the Windows platform to load.
    Right-click on the desktop with icons part less. On the shortcut menu that appears, click on "Properties". Another pop-up window containing various tabs will appear on your screen. Select the 'Settings' tab, and then locate the button marked "Advanced." Go to "Intel Graphics Media Accelerator Driver" and then proceed to "graphics properties." Select 'rotation' and choose 'enable rotation '. Click on 'apply' first and then click on 'OK '.
    This will bring you to the desktop. Hold down the ALT key (usually positioned to the right or to the left of the space bar and Ctrl key (found under the shift keys) and press the right arrow key.) This will flip your screen to the right by 90 degrees.
    Hold the Alt key, the CTRL key, then press the down arrow key to turn the display upside down from 180 degrees.
    Hold down ALT, CTRL key, and then press the left arrow key to move the screen to the left of 270 degrees.

    I hope this helps.

    Thank you.

    Hello BrickBone,

    You need start using the Windows 7 installation disc and try startup repair options.

    If your system is damaged and cannot access the menu system on your computer Recovery Options, you can access it using the installation disc of Windows 7 or a USB flash drive or with a system repair disc if you have created one previously.

    To use this method, you need to restart (boot) your computer using the disc or USB flash drive.

    1. Insert the disc to install Windows 7 or USB flash drive, or a system repair disc, and then turn off your computer.

    2. Restart your computer using the power button on the computer.

    3. When you are prompted, press a key, and then follow the instructions that appear.

    4. On the page install Windows, or on the System Recovery Options page, choose your language and other preferences, and then click Next.

    5. If you are using Windows or the USB flash drive installation disc, click on repair your computer.

    6. Select the Windows installation you want to repair, and then click Next.

    7. In the System Recovery Options menu, click a tool to open it.

    Select the Startup Repair option.
