Windows 8 has a problem – it really can boot up too quickly. So quickly, in fact, that there is no longer time for anything to interrupt boot. When you turn on a Windows 8 PC, there’s no longer long enough to detect keystrokes like F2 or F8, much less time to read a message such as “Press F2 for Setup.” For the first time in decades, you will no longer be able to interrupt boot and tell your PC to do anything different than what it was already expecting to do. Fast booting is something we definitely want to preserve. Certainly no one would imagine intentionally slowing down boot to allow these functions to work as they did in the past. In this blog I’ll walk through how…

I've seen similar posts relating to this but mostly in connection with upgrading versions. I have a fully operational server running WHS 2011. I have new different server hardware which I want to migrate to. Has anyone any guidance on this or is it not pratical to undertake in a simplistic manner? I have full back ups and spare external drive capability for the project. Any guidance greatly appreciated. Roger View this thread

There seems to be an issue with three .NET Framework updates on the XP and Server 2003 operating systems. The updates keep appearing under Windows Update after installing and/or rebooting the computer. There seems to be lots of references to this same issue going on in Japan as well according to Twitter (https://twitter.com/#!/search/KB2633880) and Microsoft Answers .JP (http://answers.microsoft.com/ja-jp/windows/forum/windows_xp-windows_update/kb2572073kb2633880-%E3%81%8A%E3%82%88%E3%81%B3/cff77b0c-44bd-402b-bf1a-865cbc6b9982). The following KB's are affected- KB2518864 KB2633880 KB2572073. Is anybody else in USA experiencing this issue? View this thread

Good morning everyone, I see there are many people who seem to be having a problem similar to mine, though I was unable to find an answer to one of my questions in this post. Description of problem: Although my Windows Update is set to download & install any updates during the overnight hours each day, the latest updates, KB26333880, KB2572073, and KB2518864 were not installed. I went to the Windows Update site to check my update history. It showed the green/white checkmarks beside all 3 updates. The record also showed the updates were attempted 3 times overnight. After clicking on the "Express" button on the Home Page, the results show the 3…

I was notified (install shield ICON next to time) that 3 Windows XP updates were available for installation. I clicked the install shield ICON and the three updates were installed without a problem. A little later I was notified that (what I thought ) were additional updates to be installed. I clicked the install shield next to the time and started the updates---the updates turned out to be the same ones installed earlier. I next decided to go to Start>All Programs>Windows Update and see if the updates were recorded as being installed on my system--they were...in fact, they were recorded as being installed at three different times. My Question - How …

Keep getting update notifications for KB2572073, KB2633880, and KB2518864. These had previously been updated successfully, and even after reinstalling today, they keep coming up. Tried to fun Fixit # 910339 ( http://support.microsoft.com/kb/910339) as suggested by others, but kept getting error message when trying to download Fixit. Ran Fixit #50202 to reset Windows update components, but that didn't solve the problem. I quick internet search shows that these same KB updates are causing problems for others as well with today's date. Although these issues happen all the time, it seems like something particular is going on today. Thanks in advance for any help on…

I have followed several threads on this . I do not get error messages. I have uninstalled all .NET framework that the pc would allow, as instructed. I have run MS fix it tool. Not sorted the problem. I have run CClean on "find and fix registry problems". It stated "found and fixed all". I have rebooted and run MS update which ran 1 update and then the same three updates are still appearing! If I never connect this pc to the internet again will these be a problem? (i.e. just use the pc for music editing). This kind of problem may not be only with these updates but many many many others and for years!! Come on MS why do we sent error reports automatically? Ple…

Posted on Build and Appearance[/size] The Dell XPS 13 carries the performance moniker “XPS”, but in a small 11-12 inch chassis. Make no mistake though, this is no netbook. Dell managed to pack a 13-inch bonded 1366×768 Gorilla Glass display into a compact machine and also gave it the power to serve users quickly and efficiently. Sticking with the display, while the 13-inch 1366×768 LED display is perfectly fine, I would have liked to have seen Dell go all out crazy and add in a higher res screen with better viewing angles. That being said, the display is perfectly fine for my purposes. [url=http://www.everything-microsoft.com/2012/05/21/dell-xps-13-ultra-windows-…
