Hello, I have a question: I have Windows Firewall disabled in W8 and when I try to install APPs from the Windows Appstore I obtain an error message saying something like: "The app couldn´t be installed because Windows Firewall service is not running. Enable Windows Firewall service and try again" I have the Firewall of Windows disabled because I already have another program for this purpose (monitoring/tracking my internet connections). So, that´s why I want to keep it disabled. Does anybody know if this problem is going to be fixed and in the next future we will be able to install W8 Apps with the Firewall of Windows disabled? Thanks in advance for the info. …

Hi all, Has there been any progress on getting Explorer in Windows 7, 64-bit to act like the good old XP days of "single click subfolders to expand them so they open and stay put in the left pane?" I know there has been a lot of complaints about how Windows 7 displays and handles folders and subfolders in Explorer, and at last count, MS is ignoring the issue. I've tried all available folder options, but they don't do a darn thing in 64-bit. Lots of folks are solving the issue with Classic Shell, but I really resist third party software. It sometimes wreaks havoc on the system. Thanks. - Lee View the thread

Last week my Security Center showed all three components as "Off": Firewall, Automatic Updates, and Virus Protection. None would update or run, and the only message was that my XP 2011 Protection had expired, and I needed to update. The only solution offered under Recommendations was XP 2011 Security, available for one year at $69.99, or Lifetime protection for $79,99. I tried to bypass and find other solutions,but everything was blocked. I purchased the "XP 2011" protection, everything updated shortly, and for several days the Microsoft Security Center showed everything as protected, and no updates available or necessary. Today, my computer would not function, …

I have notice recently that when I have Firefox 17 full screen that none of the hot corners will work until Firefox has been minimized and even then some times you need to click on something else before they start to work again. I have the same issues on 2 separate computers. It never uses to do that before, so I'm not sure if it was a recently windows update or what. I have only noticed it with Firefox so far. Has anyone else ran into this issue? View the full article

Ok, so I have my new Windows Phone 8 Lumia 920! Awesome phone, I have loved the 7.5, but anyhow, here is the issue: Syncing with Exchange 2010. Account set up. Emails appear, calendar appears, contacts do not appear in "People". However, if I dial a contact I know, do I manually dial the number of someone in my Outlook contacts, the name appears, and if I view previous calls and click on the contact, it says it is part of my company's sync, and all the info is displayed. So the contact is on the phone, but I cannot view them in 'People'. How in the world does that happen? Yes, I have checked the filters, and the only one selected is the Exchange …
