Last week, a passel of leaked PowerPoint slides appeared to give a sneak peek of Microsoft's plans for Windows 8. (I should call them "alleged Microsoft PowerPoint slides" or something, but Mary Jo Foley and Ina Fried are accepting them as the real deal-and that's good enough for me.) Among the features mentioned: A new technology for superfast startups (a perennial boast of new versions of Windows dating at least back to Windows 98), multiuser login via face recognition, an improved help system, and a tool for restoring Windows to its original settings without munging your data. The company would apparently like to help PC makers build machines that have …

Details are starting to leak about features and functionality Microsoft is planning for the next version of the operating system, which may or may not be called Windows 8. Over the weekend, Francisco Martin Garcia, a Microsoft Active Professional partner based in Madrid, Spain, posted purported internal Microsoft slides that suggest Windows 8 will include faster startup times, 3-D graphics support, USB 3.0 and Bluetooth 3.0 connectivity, and the ability for users to log in via facial recognition technology. The blog Microsoft Kitchen published several additional slides Monday that are dated April 2010. The information in the slides is sparse, but there are ple…

A question for Bill Yanaire
by Guest Ibrahim Al-Qassam \(Abdelaziz\)- 0 replies
- 401 views
This dumb **** is such fun to pick apart. The **** keeps falling out of his mouth as fast as this idiot can move his lips. The TRUTH is Bill is on cracl/cocaine most of the day. You people are talking a language that Yanaire RyanAire does not understand. It contains LOGIC and FACTS! The Moron has studied SQL Server as a beginner in 2007, and attempted VisualBasic, making some living off these Microsoft products and hence promoting Windows. His brain is too primitive to learn a real language like C or C++. Or be a man enough to code in Assembler, machine codes, octals or just binary. Are you aware of what OS most supercomputing …

interactive logon process initialization has failed

- 164 views
WOW! I just had a Vista computer doing the same thing. I used a slight alteration of the method described to but essentially the same fix. A bad .manifest file. Also, I had a bit of trouble copying a new file into the location and had to change some file and folder security settings to allow copy-to access. Thanks to Mindless Automation for the post on the fix though. Learn something new every day in computers. All is good. Now I just got to get rid of those nasty viruses and rootkits.

I guess you think people can't read news for themselves. Did you know that females have a vagina and men do not? You seem to be confused when you ask the men in the forum about their vagina. Men don't have a vagina you TURD. On another note, you will NEVER see a real vagina again in your lifetime! HA HA HA HA HA HA.

Pop Out Control Panel Menu Issue

- 205 views
Going to Start Menu and then to Control Panel, I have it set so that Control Panel displays as a pop out menu. How can the font size be changed on this pop out menu? I have tried the Advanced Appearance Settings and can make the other items on the Start Menu any size I wish but, not the Control Panel pop out. It is way too small of a font size. Any ideas?

Windows XP Start.wav / Start Navigation sound isn't working
by Guest Bram Weiser- 0 replies
- 226 views
Hello, and thank you for reading my post. For some time now, I noticed that my PC's "click sound", which normally appears while surfing in IE 6, wasn't working. I'd learned that I'd need to visit the Start Navigation sound in Control Panel-->Sounds and Audio Devices, and select Windows XP Start.wav...which I'd do, but it wouldn't stay in place as soon as I clicked on "Apply". Because of this issue, and others, too, I reinstalled a "clean" version of Windows XP SP2, and then upgraded it (&, by extension, IE 6) to SP3, over the past weekend, but, while that sound DOES now play, it still doesn't stay permanently associated with the …
