  10. I was playing WoW on my windows 8 computer. The computer crashed and when it rebooted a screen flashed that said your computer has ran into a problem and needs to reboot. upon rebooting it comes up &quotPreparing Automatic Repair&quot. It sits there for a while and I guess it fails because it reboots and flashes the computer ran into a problem screen again and repeats. I have tried getting the PC into safe mode it doesnt come up. I do not have a windows 8 install DVD to boot to. I downloaded an upgrade from vista to windows 8 from microsoft to get windows 8 on my computer. Is there anything I can do to get this fixed?

  12. I have several BRD data disks. In Win7 I can copy off the disk's without issue. In Win8 when I copy I get errors that it can't copy a file(or a few). Win asks to try again or skip. I click skip and it repeatedly tries again(Taking about 5 mins each pop). Eventually(after about an hour) it will skip the file. Again, win7 does not have issues copying and the file is not corrupt as it does copy the same file(that is correct) that win8 craps out on. This makes it impossible to use the backups in win8 and I must go to win7. The burned disks may have quality issues but, again, win7 gets the job done just fine. View the full article

  14. FTM 2012 worked on my computer using Windows Vista for half a day. Have tried reloading the program but always comes up with the message &quotNET.Framework 4.0 missing&quot. I noticed yesterday someone else had the same problem though with 64xbit (I have 32xbit) but I just cannot find this message now. I now it had a solution for those with 32xbit. The program worked perfectly on my laptop using Windows 7 but is rather difficult to imput lots of information due to its size. Thank you. View this thread

  16. I have a Dell Dimension B110. with windows XP.. I let (even the young) kids use this pc. It has become practically worthless. When I bought the computer I got several cd's with it. As i was reading through the owners manual I found that the computer could be erased and it would be like it was when it showed up at my door. This would be great!! but as I proceeded to go through the steps the first thing to do was AS SOON AS THE COMPUTER STARTS ...1. see a blue bar, immediatly hit crtl .&amp f-11 .. as soon as i hit the ctrl &amp f11 it says CAN NOT RESTORE I have never tried to do this before and I did buy the computer new. I should be able to have what I paid for.. Is there sny way to get around this CAN NOT RESTORE problem.. that computer would make wonderful beginers computer for my cousin. and then we could comunicate through the computer and play cribbage/.. Thank You Tuluchee View this thread

  20. I had causing my m/c to go slow. Is this for real. He then wanted to load a file on my m/c to help him have access to improve stuff. I stopped him at that point, he gave me his mobile number to call him back on!! He took me though the system log and showed all the errors I had accumulated on my PC, seemed ok until he took me to www,windowsupport.us and then to click on &quotShow my PC&quot which results in a request to load a file &quotShowMyPC3105.exe&quot which I declined. How much of this is real or scam? View this thread
  21. First, I have many files I do not want to lose, and am not a computer expert. As in many other such problems shown here, I am getting the black screen and "Windows not genuine" - this after a year of use, using what I believe to be genuine windows 7 Pro sealed copy. I called Microsoft last night and the person (foreign) told me that the key I had was only good for a year! Is that even possible? Next, I want to fix this the easiest way possible, and will pay for new key if necessary. What I don't want to do s to start a days long process that causes my existing data to be lost . Is there an easy solution for a non-computer geek? View the thread
