Hello, I accidently opened spam with an attacment, and I'm not sure if the attachment downloaded automatically. I'm told some can. My computer is acting a bit differently: slower, windows open on their own, and letters reverse while I type. I have Microsoft Security Essentials as my anti-virus software and am running it now however, I just found out about Microsoft Safety Scanner. Is it worth running too? If it uses the same detection tools from Microsoft as their "Security Essentials," which I have, again, as my anti-virus program, will it bring anything new to finding out whether there's a virus on my computer? Is there anything else I can use to detect a virus tha…

I find this frustrating and disappointing. My laptop was running fine and when I tried to shut down, I got these loads updates last night which lasted about half an hour and deemed to be important. When it restart and what do I get, I get an error message "The user profile service failed the logon. User profile cannot be loaded" error and I cannot login. What is the matter with Microsoft? Why is Microsoft offering faulty or detrimental updates?" I have no time for all these and apparently, my profile has been deleted,, damaged or changed (after searching the internet for solutions). Why is Microsoft update meddling with my profile? I have not fixed the problem …

I use Media Player for all music. Recently I downloaded a number of tunes but they didn't appear in my music library. After searching around I found that they all went into the Media Player's "OTHER MEDIA" library rather than the music library. I can play the music in other media, but can't figure out how to get Media Player to recognize that all the items are music so I can have them all in my music library. View this thread

There is nothing wrong w/ going from Desktop to the Start screen w/ its Tiles for some or all things OR going to WinQ for things OR pinning a bunch of stuff OR having icons all over the Desktop BUT, You might like this approach... It means not having to do any of the 3 things mentioned above. The Applications window sits on the Taskbar. Please note the use, employment of Desktop Toolbar, greatly facilitates ease of navigation & allows screen to be 'clean' of icons. <a href= Cheers, Drew [url=' alt='> Drew MS Partner / MS Beta Tester / Pres.

Ever since upgrading to Windows 8 it takes a long time to establish a direct RDP connection to Windows Server 2003 or Server 2008. From Windows 7 it used to take about a second. With the Windows 8 RDP client it takes about a minute to connect to a server. Thanks in advance for any insights into this issue. View the full article

Hello, I have a problem with Speech Recognition. It's working fine listening to commands, and does as I say, however all it hears is commands. I've read somewhere that what it doesn't reconize as a command, is inserted as text. However, it takes every word I say as a command. If it doesn't reconize a command, all it says is: "What was that?". Does anyone know how to fix this, or perhaps an alternative for Speech Recognition? Thank you in advance. View the full article

Windows Vista systems, Windows 8 server, roaming profiles, Outlook using POP3 Microsoft DPM. local copies of offline files are set to be encrypted. Because of past problems with multiple revisions of files group policy is set to synchronize on startup and shutdown. Users are complaining about long delays and slow performance during startup and shutdown times. I suspect that this is because of the synchronization. What is available to speed up the synchronization process or to monitor the total size and speed of the processes? View this thread
