Posted on Windows 8 on the Horizon[/b] What this portends for Windows 8 is interesting. First users, and companies will have to decide if they want to make the upgrade sacrifice. Because to get the full benefit of Windows 8, they will have to change monitors to support touch technology not to mention the hardware technology, which will make Windows 8 a version to use. If you don’t want to or can’t afford to upgrade the hardware, why bother? Keep Windows 7. Second, are users and companies really ready for the Metro style interface? And while it may be possible to go back and forth between the traditional GUI and the new Metro UI, it has to be smooth and easy and intuitiv…

I receive the following error when I try downloading programs:Windows cannot take over the download. Click the back button to return to normal mode. I do not know what to do. I tried deleting programs I do not use, but that did not work. This is a pain in the butt when there are updates for programs you have and cannot get it.

I have a powepint document (2010) which links to a excel spreadsheet (2010). It's linked via the network drive: path, but each time I try to update the link it forces the path over to a UNC path. This causes massive issues with addins I have in excel. I have read throug http://support.microsoft.com/kb/323013 which elaborates on this issue and suggests a fix for this. This does not seem to work as this may be a fix for office 2002/2003 (ver 10.0) and i tried this on office 2010 (ver 14.0). I have also tried to search this theme up on google and technet and i do not see any fixes for this on 2010. My main question here would be: Is there some kind of policy and/or…

I have a Compaq nx9010 laptop runnings XPsp3. I have tried to install drivers for a Belkin F5D8011 wireless notebook card. I have downloaded the correct driver into the downloads folder, but when I point the Update Driver Wizard to the folder I get a message telling me there are not any driver files in the folder. Belkin have not been very helpful, they just gave me a link to the driver. Does this mean the driver is not suitable for XP, even though Belkin says it is? Is is possible to install the driver without using the Wizard? Is there something wrong with (newly installed) XP? View this thread

I got a phone call on my cell phone. I have given my number to a Microsoft tech when I was having problems before. I placed that phone call. With the recent news of the virus I thought it might be legit. I asked for a call back number and they gave me 205-419-8861. Is this part of your company? View this thread

I have a fairly new Toshiba laptop which has replaced my old Dell working on Vista. The Toshiba works on Windows 7 premium, I am utterly amazed at the amount of updates that are coming thru, virtually every time I switch it off, it updates. This is approx every other day, I have used Microsoft from Windows 95 onwards & have never had an operating system that updated as often as this, its as tho they only did half the job when it was released and are still trying to fix it now. My main problem is that when I shut down at night it goes for an update and at times it takes ages, there have been a number of times it has still been updating when I come down in the mor…

Haven't touch deploying Office for the last few versions. I remember with Office 2003 [if I remember right] that when Office was installed from a network share with an admin install, if that network share was removed, updates to Office won't install as Office [setup] was looking for the network share. Can I assume that if I install Office 2010 Pro Plus [or Enterprise] from a network share with an admin install that it stores the MSOCache locally and it won't complain about missing files when updating? Thanks View this thread

I have downloaded and installed 'Abine' DNT+ do not track software, but operation is blocked. I reeive the following popup message: Uh-oh, DNT+ wasn't allowed to communicate like normal, it's DNTPService.exe was terminated. This is often caused by overactive antivirus or security software. First, try restarting Internet Explorer. If that doesn't bring you joy, you may need to configure your security software to allow the DNTPService.exe process to run. Abine.com's support can help, but make sure you know your security software before youu conmtact us. Stay safe and private! I have followed the steps idicated steps including contacting Abine without success. …
