Installation of Sky Drive
When I try to install Sky Drive, my computer responds back and says "I can not run Sky Drive using full administrator rights and to please restart Sky Drive without Administrative rights." How do you start without the Administrative rights? I assumed I was logged on to my computer as User/Owner and assumed I have the right to install a program to my own computer? What is going on? Please help? View this thread

I got windows 8 a few days ago and I'm trying to get all the past updates downloaded. However, the same 4 updates get to the point where it restarts and I get the message: "Error configuring updates, reverting changes". When the computer comes back up, windows update shows those updates failed with error code 80070005. Its done this 6 times. Those updates are: KB2779768 (ran through install in less than 5 seconds, then failed, no reboot new error code 80246007) KB2785094 (ran through install in less than 5 seconds, then failed, no reboot new error code 80246007) KB2770917 (ran through install in less than 5 seconds, then failed, no reboot new error code 80246007) KB2756872 (failed as before) Any ideas? Edit: started installing updates one at a time to find problems, outcome noted next to each update View this thread

Getting Error: pagefault_in_nonpaged_area (win32k.sys) after updating to Office 2013
Updated Office 2010 to 2013. It stated I had a conflicting program. I uninstalled the program (don't remember what it was) and updated Office 2013 (64 bit) and now when I launch any Office software or access the internet through my FireFox browser it gives me the error: pagefault_in_nonpaged_area (win32k.sys) and automatically reboots my computer. Did all the hardware tests, everything is working. It seems to be a software conflict. Any ideas how I can fix this problem? View the thread

Google Mail Now Banned
I have set up a ban filter to disallow registrations from gMail accounts. If you attempt to register with a gMail address you will be denied. If you are currently registered with a gMail account then you will be required to change the email on your next log in. gMail is by far the most used email service by spammers and I am tired of spam bots using gMail email address trying to register. Until Google finds a way to stop these spammers I saw that banning gMail was the only option to stop this. In the last 24 hours there were 4234 attempted user registrations. 3 were by actual users and the rest were by spam bots or spammers. Of those 4234 attempts 4129 were using gMail address. I have also banned Hotmail as it is also widely used by spammers. If this inconveniences any legitimate users I apologize.

Windows 8 - Driver letter assigned to external USB disc changes randomly after a few reebots.
My USB disc comes up with the letter 'J'. Because I have references to it with a letter 'X' I want to change it and I do that in the Computer Management tool with the Disk Management utility. Computer - Right click - Computer Management Disk Manegement - Right-click the drive and then click Change Drive Letter and Paths Assigne a new letter Everything works fine but suddenly after a reboot Windows 8 loses the letter 'X' for this disc and assignes 'J' again. I have done so with this drive for years under Windows 7 without any problems. Any idea, please what the problem might be? Senki Alfonz View the full article
