This week begins face to face meetings at the IETF on how to approach HTTP 2.0 and improve the Internet. How the industry moves forward together on the next version of HTTP – how every application and service on the Web communicates today – can have a positive impact on user experience, operational and environmental costs, and even the battery life of the devices you carry around. As part of this discussion of HTTP 2.0, Microsoft will submit to the IETF a proposal for “HTTP Speed+Mobility.” The approach we propose focuses on Web performance improvements at the same time it takes into account the important needs of mobile devices and applications.

I am trying to create an answer file for an unattended Win 7 Install. However I am getting "unknown error 0xc1420127" when attempting to create the catalog file for the install image. The exact error is: I have read almost every result in Google and ruled out what appear to be the most common explanations. - I am trying to create the catalog on a 32bit Win 7 SP1 machines - The install.wim comes from a 32bit Win 7 SP1 DVD that was downloaded directly from the VLSC - I have the latest version of WAIK, all windows updates and latest .NET - I am the owner and have full permissions on the install.wim file - I have tried reinstalling WAIK from scratch Any ideas? Its dr…

This machine has been kept automatically updated for a year. Suddenly this year old security update isn't installed and won't install. FixitCenter says it's fixing problems with the automatic update components, says it has repaired them, but they never change the problem. Continue reading...

It seem from everything that I've read - which is a freaking lot - that there is no way without doing a custom install of Windows 7 for me (as the admin of my own computer) to not have the games be quite available? (I.e. available with the ease of a reinstall them as a windows component)? Is this true? I just got a new laptop. I have computer game issues as do MANY people. I have no idea why Microsoft would make the games be so un-DELETE-able. I am sick of the stupid responses from Microsoft employees acting like removing hte link from the start menu is removing the games. Windows 7 seems to lack a lot of flexibility. Game addiction is real. No one expects al…

This also happens onit's own too. Do I have a click logger? I also have an issue where a pocket pc showed up on my network witha an unusual # of systems from a variety of manufacturers embedded in it. The os could not be identified. The same thing has happened with my iphone. I do not own a windows phone. Furthermore, my router shows the correct ip but it is being labeled a dummy router-What the heck is that? I doubt the mouse and router thing are directly related, related but I'm a bit freaked out by a variety of issues I have had. I would greatly appreciate any support you can give me! PS a mac address for Azure technologies also showedup on my network the oth…

My husband and I have new Win7 64-bit laptops and are both having the same problem. Copy and paste works fine from Office 2010 app to Office 2010 app as well as between Notepad and Office 2010 apps and from IE9 to Notepad. However, if we attempt to copy and paste from IE9 into an Office 2010 app, what appears is only a large black oval. System details below. This is a big headache for me as I write and send a middle school email newsletter each week and the email application does not have spell check. I used to simply copy & paste from the browser preview into Word but can't do that now. FYI I did just discover I could copy and paste from IE9 into Notepad and then int…

When doing my routine scans, I decided to try TDSSkiller and see what it found. I selected all options and hit the scan. It came back with the result of FLxHCIc ( UnsignedFile.Multi.Generic ) as a suspicious object of medium risk. My full scans with MSSE , Malwarebytes, Superantispyware and ESET online scanner have never flagged this. TDSSkiller gave me the default action of skipping it, which I did. Should I be concerned?

Hi all I like the sped and functionality of IE9 and it runs perfectly on my system, however why is it when the download manager downloads a file it takes forever - no matter what file and from where? I usually have to use the old "Right click and Save file as" option to get the file to download at a normal speed. Why is this the case? Also sites like http://au.playstation.com are painfully slow to load and dont display correctly either - scroll bars dont apperad to move up and down the screen either. Additionally, typing a reply to a forum thread on Playstation makes the cursor dissapear from the text box and it never re-appears again. Is this because the site has n…

I have a dell mini 1012 that synced and worked fine to my htc touch hd. In July I installed windows mobile device center and it hasn't worked since. Not only will it not sync it also doesn't show up in windows explorer. Changing the enable faster data synchronization box in usb to pc connections has no effect. I'd love any suggestions. Thanks.

I'm working on a Dell computer running XP. After fighting to remove "System Check" I've ended up with a "Windows shutdown screen" Tech Info: Stop: 0x00000024 (0x00190203, 0x833940F8, 0xC0000102, 0x00000000) I was able to save all my files before this screen. I now would simply like to reformat my hard drive......... But how do I bypass this screen and get to a dos prompt to restore? Continue reading...
