Backstory: So, I made the silly error of over-filling my Surface with videos because I was travelling. This left the internal storage almost full, and as temp files filled up the drive actually got completely full and showed 0B free in Computer. I believe this is when the problem started happening. I have since freed up several GB of space, and the problem hasn't fixed itself. Problem: 24 Metro apps uninstalled from my computer, without reason, warning, or explanation. Some of these are apps that are built in and come with the tablet, and others are ones I've downloaded. If I go into the Store and go to Account, they show up under My Apps (Apps not installed o…

I run Windows 8. (not 8.1) Don't know why that my New Phonetic Traditional Chinese IME always switches to double-byte sometimes. I can't figure out why it would happen or what keys I had pressed. Usually if I frequently type Chinese and chat with others, there's high chance to happen. I tried: 1. Shift+Space 2. Ctrl + Alt 3. Tab 4. CapsLock 5. CapsLock + Space 6. Ctrl + Shift Switched back to English mode and tested all above combination keys, but in vain. None of them triggered to double-byte. So I have NO IDEA WHAT THE **** is going on that it automatically switches to double-byte. Maybe it's a IME bug? Split from- https:/…

II was warned before buyingmy new computer that I should not get Windows 8 as it was ahooror and now, know some reasons why but Microsoft has made it almost impossible to down grade to Windows 7 . Additionally, here in Thailand, many , ( thousands actually ), use an Air Card to get Internet connection and W-8 does NOT work with Air cards. Amazing since most computers sold since 10/2012 have 8 installed and no way for the user to get rid of it. If you don't have 8, don't get it. *** Email address is removed for privacy *** Continue reading...

A few months back, my system started to get whea_uncorrectable_error when playing Everquest. I play on the Emulation servers and I would run between 6 and 12 game clients simultaneously. Always worked just fine. Now, however, I can only run 4 without worry of crashing the system. If I run extra fans I might be able to run 6 but it is still likely that I will get a crash now and then. Unfortunately, I don't recall if there had been any major changes to the system before this started. So, I created another system on a new hard drive and it was only for gaming. So to run EQ, I would boot to this new system and it seemed to work a little better for a while, but then it…

Using Windows Media Player 12 on Windows 7 PC I'm finding that the tops and bottoms of videos are cut off when played with WMP12. I can find no possible adjustment controls in the program. This does not change when I view in a window or full screen. I use two of these PCs side by side. The older one (1.5 years older) using the same configuration (WMP12 on Windows 7) renders the video correctly. How can I make the newer machine show the entire video? Continue reading...

I am wondering if anyone can help. I recently installed some new updates and had them going overnight, I woke up the next morning and since then have been unable to boot my Lenovo G780 laptop. It is a new machine so I do not have any restore points, It will not allow me to boot in Safe Mode, I have tried StartUp Repair multiple times but it is unable to repair, I do not have an installation disk as Windows 7 was already on the machine. I am wondering if there are any solutions which a/ do not involve me having to "wipe" the machine, or b/ involve me re-buying Windows 7. Is there any way I can create a system restore disk (please forgive me if this is the incorrect term…

Hi my pc started running slow and then would not allow me to run my AVG antivirus the message was this program is blocked by group policy. As this is a stand alone pc and I was the administrator there was no group policy that was a puzzle as I was not able to sort this. I uninstalled AVG and used Microsoft essentials, now when I run the anti virus I get an alert Behaviour;WIN32/Vawtrak ,gen!D . I click to remove it and am prompted to restart my pc which I do and this happens every time I run the scan. How do I remove this threat as I don't want to use my pc much until I remove it as it is quite a bad threat. If you can help that will be great thanks. Continue rea…

When you load Redhat 5 on to a dell with IRRT (Intel Rapid Storage Technology) it will give you this error or IRQ19 and then slip into an infinite loop. It will tell you to try to boot with this options but it is a huge problem to find the boot sequence file to edit. Instead go into your ios menu and make sure that your SATA drive is set up to run in ACHI as opposed to IRRP Continue reading...

Hi forum I want to do GUI based installation but xclock command is not found. I have checked, I don't have xclock at all by finding it. Code: # xclock -bash: xclock: command not found If I search x11 I found following: Code: # find / -name X11 /usr/lib64/X11 /usr/share/X11 /etc/X11 I don't think Xorg X11 is installed, because I can't see bin path of X11 in my PATH variable. So the challenge is to install this package on my box. It does not have internet so I can not run yum command. X11 Forwarding is also yes in /etc/ssh/sshd_config. Anyone can tell me the RPM UR L to download and install? And suggestion what's the way out. I am using f…

Hello everyone. Maybe i m posting on wrong distro category,but this is very urgent,and i have no idea who to ask. Here is my problem. I got an arch linux iso,and wanted to make a bootable usb using dd. So for "of" i put /dev/sda which is my main hard disk drive (instead of sdb,the flash drive). Now,after reboot i get the arch linux installation screen,and cant boot my existing OSs.I even tried boot already existing OS but no luck. Any way that may lead to recovery? Any solution? Again,this is may not be the right place to ask,but I am a bit in chaos. Thank you in advance Continue reading...
