Windows 8 "Failure configuring Windows updates. Reverting changes"
by Guest wei heng lim- 0 replies
- 416 views
I bought a new laptop 2 days ago and it was working very well. However, it seems like I have 96 Windows Updates that I need to install, so I installed them and restarted the laptop. But I got an error message stating "Failure configuring Windows updates. Reverting changes" after it finishes configuring. And then it goes into a loop, going back to configuring after reverting the changes. I managed to get back to my desktop after performing a System Restore but my laptop has become very slow now. I checked the task manager and it showed this : http://i.imgur.com/L9L1WSS.png . I tried the solutions that Microsoft Support gave, namely installing Windows Update in a clean boo…

My WMP keeps losing my files (Music). Even when I've followed advice from a previous discussion on Sept. 2010 about the database being corrupted, I'm still not finding albums in my library. They use to be there. I know, because when I go through my Zune collection, all of my music is there. And Zune syncs everything from WMP. What is going on? Can I copy/sync these lost albums from my Zune collection to WMP? Continue reading...

Hello, we are currently in the process of testing user log-ins via smart card authentication on a closed network and we have had no success logging on with our smart cards on test workstations. We've received the domain controller certificates from an external domain, along with two root CA certs and two intermediate certs. The workstations output an error of: "The system could not log you on. You cannot use a smart card to logon because smart card log on is not supported for your user account(Windows 7)" or "The system could not log you on.

Recent Windows Upgrade Contained A Virus ?? ?
by Guest JKB 101- 0 replies
- 291 views
On June 11, 2014, Windows downloaded, & installed half a dozen security-related Upgrades to my Windows 7 64-bit system, & within hours my anti-virus program, Rogers Online Protection (ROP) (actually Bit Defender), alerted me that it had detected a virus (Gen:Variant.Kazy.361890) in temp.edb buried in the windows\softwaredistribution folder. ROP declared my computer was not virus-free, & it could not clean it. I immediately did a complete scan, with the same ROP, & nothing was found (although 56k of items were 'Skipped'). Research online revealed that the softwaredistribution folder is used exclusively by Microsoft for down…

Can't uninstall Conduits "Search Protect" even though I'm logged in as a admin!
by Guest JonathanMcIntyre- 0 replies
- 346 views
I more or less ended with accidentally installing a virus named "SpeeDial". I've dealt with a similar problem before (delta search), meaning I had dealt with this kind of situation before, or so i thought. Noticing I had gotten another browser highjacker I thought i'd do what I did Delta Search, which was going to the control panel and uninstalling all the programs related to said virus, however this time whilst trying to uninstall Conduit Search Protect I recieved a error message saying that I did not have sufficient access, even though I'm logged in as a admin (100% sure I'm an admin, i tripple checked). So far I've tried to tried restarting the computer, running the mi…

Detecting Hard Drive Errors; Linux Installation and whatnot
by Guest sohnata- 0 replies
- 322 views
Hey folks! I'm afraid I'm going to be one of those guys. One of those who's had to use Linux in a pinch, doesn't know anything about it and frankly, just isn't that smart. Some background - couple days ago, my computer wouldn't boot correctly, of which friends much smarter than me decided it's probably a hard drive failure. It's just unclear which hard drive. So in the meantime, I've got Xubuntu 14.04 on a USB in order to try and figure out what's happening. Two issues - a) I can seem to access all the files on both hard drives fine on Xubuntu which is making me wonder if it actually is a Hard Drive issue and b) I have NO idea how to check for a failure on Linux. I'…

by Guest Simon Sage- 0 replies
- 301 views
The upcoming edition of the mobile Magic: Duels of the Planeswalkers game made an appearance at E3. The biggest addition to this iteration of the classic fantasy card game is that now you can custom build your decks card-for-card. Previously, you would be given a core deck and would unlock additional cards to swap in through gameplay. As usual, players put on their robe and wizard's hat in the role of an elementally-attuned planeswalker. They duel one-on-one against other interdimensional mages by summoning powerful allies, hurling spells, and wielding ancient artifacts. Five colors of spells represent different elements, each with their own play style and themes. …

This coming weekend sees the annual running of the world's greatest motor race, the 24 Hours of Le Mans. The ultimate test of man and machine, every year 52 teams and tens of thousands of fans decend on Northern France for the occasion. Sadly, not all of us can make that trek – though it remains top of my own personal list – and as such we're resigned to following from home. Watching a 24 hour race is an endurance in itself but thankfully with your iPhone and iPad in hand you can make it a little easier! 24 Heures du Mans - Official App The official WEC app has been rebranded for the 24 hour race given that it's the highlight of the Championship season.

by Guest Chuong H Nguyen- 0 replies
- 296 views
Apple Senior VP of Retail and Online Stores Angela Ahrendts had recently sent out her first memo to retail employees, outlining Apple's vision for retail ahead while also asking for employee feedback to improve the experience in stores. "Looking forward to the future, I feel our greatest opportunity will be continuing to focus on and evolve the consumer journey online and in our stores," Ahrendts said. "Although technology is rapidly changing how customers shop, they will still want to feel surprised and delighted by the personalized Apple experience we provide at every turn." This shouldn't come as a surprise given Apple's late CEO Steve Jobs had considered Apple to…

Apple's new employee cafeteria is nicer than any cafeteria you've ever been in
by Guest Derek Kessler- 0 replies
- 296 views
Between the glass, concrete, steel, wood, and trees, what we have here might be the nicest cafeteria on the planet. It's no surprise that it comes from Apple, purveyor of fine modern architecture and a few electronic gizmos. Apple's new cafeteria in Cupertino, not far from their existing Infinite Loop campus, is a massive space that would be instantly recognizable as an Apple structure. Whereas most Apple retail spaces are more or less mixes of steel, glass, and occasionally some concrete or stone, this cafeteria trades in the stainless steel panels for long strips of wood. It makes for an open and inviting space, as does the presence of several trees inside and …

Adapting app content to the user’s location
by Guest Windows Apps Team- 0 replies
- 183 views
This blog was written by Gilles Peigné, Program Manager, Developer Ecosystem & Platform When we think about localization, we typically think in terms of translating UI strings and making sure we use globalization APIs for needs like number formatting, handling dates and times, and other region-specific settings. However, a user’s preferred language and settings do not necessarily reflect where they are located on the earth. This is commonly encountered with users who travel, where they want the UI of their apps to appear in their preferred language but want the content presented by those apps to be sensitive to their travel destinations. This is also a common need …
