'Failure configuring Windows features. Reverting changes'--stuck for HOURS, what do I do?
by Guest AH23- 0 replies
- 980 views
I just got my Windows 8 tablet yesterday, and downloaded the updates around dinnertime. The updates themselves took a good ~5-6 hours to download, and then installing them took just as long if not longer. It crapped out on me about 4 hours ago, and since then I've been seeing "Failure configuring Windows features. Reverting changes. Do not turn off your computer". Obviously I don't want to turn off my computer, but I don't know what else to do. Because it's a tablet, I really don't have access to boot options, or anything other than long-pressing the power button to turn it off. This is such a huge headache, and it's discouraging having such an unnecessary problem wi…

Anyway to update to Windows 8.1 WITHOUT accessing Windows Store?
by Guest NOLAdy- 0 replies
- 400 views
I have NEVER been able to access Windows store. Every time I have tried, it buffers, and then screen goes to white and states 'we are unable to connect to the store.....' I am so unhappy with the Windows 8 that came with the HP Pavilion g7 laptop I purchased last year and would really appreciate getting the update. I am a novice when it comes to 'computer jargon' so other replies have been 'way over my head'. Can someone from Windows EMAIL me a link so I can update? Continue reading...

by Guest BrentGould- 0 replies
- 570 views
I have seen this before in the forums but cannot locate any actual fix. I originally started with 6 updates that would not install but narrowed this down to just one after doing manual updates for each one. This particular update (KB2800095) just fails to take. I am running a Gigabyte PC with Windows 7 Home Premium Service Pack 1. Below is a screen shot that might help in providing me with a fix. Thanks and regards, Brent. Continue reading...

Easy Transfer's Error in Shared Items
by Guest Pradhansb- 0 replies
- 358 views
This problem is all over the place and I believe MS has yet to fix it, or even admit to it! Easy Transfer is pretty cool save for the consistent algorithm error used in determining the Shred Items. I used Easy Transfer to move users from an older W7 to a newer W7 machine. Both machines are fully updated The old machine had a TOTAL of 350 GIG of files/data on all drives including the system. In fact, as part of this process, I copied the old data onto back up drives in case something was missing and it totaled under 4 GIG of data. Well, Easy Transfer after copying the users also copies Shared Items. The total was 868 Gigs, more than double the total amount of files space o…

This is the same problem I had previously had to reset my computer back to it's first day and start again. Something is destroying files and I did run across the apps like Facebook just has an x on it and doesn't work. Do I need to uninstall and reinstall again? Why isn't defender catching any of this. It says everything is fine. Should I download a malware program in addition like bit? Should I download Microsoft Security Essentials? I have Windows Version 8.1. Continue reading...

Conversion from Ethernet to WiFi, help with performance?
by Guest nathanEll- 0 replies
- 363 views
Hello, Unfortunately, I am here today having to ask for some help with wifi performance. Here's the thing; in my university residence, they've removed our wired internet in favour of wireless. We used to have ~10MBps down speeds, but now I'm lucky when I get 300KBps down. Over this summer term (May - August), there thankfully is maybe a quarter of the amount of people that typically live in residence (which is ~800); however, their wifi system cannot handle the traffic as it is it seems. Thing is, they just put in the wifi last October, so the system is still new, all these fancy Cisco wifi APs on every floor (at least two per floor). Thing is, I have a couple probl…

How about starting a yearly internet meme thread? I realize some might consider that as part of the jokes thread, but in looking at that thread, it's clear that there is a definite distinction between jokes and memes, despite both being considered humor. Just a thought. This search here revealed that this hasn't been suggested before. Continue reading...

Linux Live USB Creator only runs in Windows???
by Guest TNFrank- 0 replies

I was watching an older show on Hak5 on my Roku and saw them talk about Linux Live USB Creator so I looked it up but saw that it only runs under Windows, so what gives? Seems like this would be awesome to make up Live and persistent USB sticks with a good Linux Distro on it so you could take it along with you and have a "computer in your pocket" but why no support from this tool for Linux? Seems like Linux would have been the first thing they'd have gotten it to work under, not Windows. Continue reading...

by Guest Joseph Keller- 0 replies

T-Mobile CEO John Legere has given an update on the carrier's recent Un-carrier 5.0 and Un-carrier 6.0 announcements. Un-carrier 5.0 was the announcement of T-Mobile Test Drive, which lets people try T-Mobile's network for free. Un-carrier 6.0 was Music Freedom, which lets customers use several music services without that data usage counting against their high-speed data limit. Legere announced that over 12,000 people have pre-registered for Test Drive. The program lets potential T-Mobile customers try the network using an iPhone 5S for a week for free without any obligation. You can pre-register for Test Drive now, or wait to register on Monday, June 23, when the se…
