I want all new documents which I create to use the Comic Sans Font set to 12 pt size, but when I create a new Rich Text Format document it always reverts to Aerial font in a 10 pt size. I have tried changing the font and size and then SAVE AS a RTF document in Wordpad, but each time I create a new document it is the Arial 10 pt text. View this thread

I've searched and searched but can't seem to find an online or downloadable list of windows 7 updates and patches including descriptions and dates of release. I'm NOT talking about a list of installed updates on my computer. I want to use this as a troubleshooting tool to compare dates of updates to problem occurrence. View this thread

I am having a problem using windows update and even after using the suggestions provided in the forum in regards to resolving the issue I have, I have yet to come up with a solution. I have answered some basic questions about my problem which is originally documented The complete version of Windows you have installed Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit [*]The update(s) that fail to install Running the windows update process generates the error 8007370B for which it is recommend that you download and install (run) the Hotfix KB947821 (System Update Readiness Tool) Downloading and running the System Update Readiness tool ends with the a message "Installation Complete" and what appears to be normal termination. [*]The complete error message you receive The only error message that I receive is when I use Windows Update - again the error that repeatedly occurs, before and after the installation of the "System Update Readiness Tool" is error 8007370B. [*]Any troubleshooting steps you have completed I have perused the forums here on answer.microsoft.com and have come up empty handed.... Not sure if I will have to reinstall my OS or if there is another method through which this issue can be resolved. Thanks in advance! View this thread

I am not allowed to get Microsoft support because I have an OEM version of Windows 7 64-bit. The support page simply states to contact the supplier/manufacturer of the PC. I built it myself. Seems a bit odd. Anything I can do about it? I only wanted to point out that their 'sorting' algorithms are incorrect for future builds. View the thread

I understand that Win 8 phones (and tablets) can join an AD domain and be controlled by Group Policy. How is authenticationsecurity generally handled for other smartphonesdevices in a Windows environment? (I don't think the iPhone understands AD! Does one purchase 3rd party software to integrate it into an AD system? In short, there has to be some way to manage non-Windows BYOD devices in a Windows network.) TIA, edm2 View the full article

I was running Windows 7 64 bit with outlook 2010 64 bit using a WISekey Standard services CA 2 certificate to digitally sign outgoing email. I never had a problem. I upgraded to Windows 8 professional 64 bit using an in-place upgrade. I could receive email in outlook 2010 but whenever I tried to send email I would get a not responding message and outlook hung. I upgraded to office 2013 hoping this would solve the problem and it did not. Upon further investigation I discovered if I turned off the digital signing it worked. As a test I ran outlook 2013 in administrative mode by right clicking and choosing run as administrator and the digital signing started working. So it appears Windows 8 has issues with UAC.. Any fixes planned or any other solutions that always having to run Outlook in Administrative mode? View this thread

I just purchased Office 365 at Office Depot [and obtained a replacement at the Microsoft store, but that's a whole 'nother story] and attempted to access Office.com/setup with Bing from my Windows 7 platform. Bing couldn't find the webpage. Google did. And there is no way visible to the average [normal] person to find setup through the Office 365 home page. [i guess no one expected other sources than Microsoft online would sell Office 365.] Perhaps instead of having a sea of 'blue shirts' inhabiting your stores, some of those resources should be used for Beta testing your product by 'normal' people [i.e. non-Nerd customers]. I have found this VERY useful in developing apps I have been involved with. View this thread

Hi, I've a client that the start screen of Windows 8 Pro is empty. It just shows the &quotStart&quot word and the user identification. When we try to use find, it always display 0 items for Applications! If we choose to show all applications, the screen still empty. It seams that it has no applications. To be able to go to the Desktop he has to search for something, like Desktop, and then select a definition option like Change Screen Resolution, so it change to the Desktop Window. I've logged in with Administrator user and the start screen looks OK, so it seams to be something just for that user. I've already deleted the profile and loaded it again. It is a rooming profile. It loaded again se same way. So, I think the problema is already saved on the server profile. Well, it loaded with a difference. Before delete it, the user can't even do a search because it showed a message saying something like &quotThe application can't be searched&quot!? At least after load it again the search works for settings and files, but still always result in zero items found in Apps. How can I get the apps back? Regards, Pedro View the full article

Hello. After uprgrading to W8 I find that many of the tiles do not open anything, i.e calendar, people, mail, News, etc. Photos just takes me to a dead (grey) screen. Maps does open ok, and IE opens but the Outlook link does not work within IE, it does however work correctly if IE is opened from Desktop. The Tiles that work my old programmes (Apps) seem to operate properly, although I have not tried every one of them yet. Thank you for any help that can be offered. View this thread

Quoting my previous post: WINDOWS update KB2797687 failure error - 80073718 I have been trying to update my laptop with the above update but consistently get a failure notification. The update downloads and looks as if it is installing but then the error message comes up (code 80073718). I select the option 'get help with this error' which takes me to troubleshooting the updater ( I ran it as administrator). The troubleshooter found an error and repaired it so I tried to update again but yet again got the same error code and the update is still not installed. I have checked my internet connection in case something was interrupted but the connection is fine, I have tried both wifi and Ethernet. I have searched the Microsoft pages but can't find anything about this error. I installed windows 8 as an upgrade to Vista a couple of weeks ago. I still have the problem with installing KB2797687, every day I get the same failure message and my pc hasn't updated since 9.01.13. Yesterday I found a link to the windows download centre and downloaded my updates manually but still the 2797687 wouldn't install. It appears to be preventing any updates to install. I keep going through the same motions, troubleshooting, manually trying to install but nothing works. I shouldn't have to check the updates at the download centre at all. This is getting so frustrating. I know that I am not the only one with this problem judging by the amount of update questions there are. When is Microsoft going to fix it? View this thread

Howdy. I have Windows 8 64 on a Toshiba C855D-S5320 Laptop that is costing me money every time it updates itself and the updates are locked-out from being removed [ this causes me time and moneyto uninstall every single update and leave no chance of it being reloaded into the system by using the USBback-up with System Restore - which at lease puts everything back to the way I want it "Un-Touched":. 1) I.E. Browser options are set to "no-updates allowed"!. 2) Windows Updates, Programs, Change Settings: No Updates Selected ( not recommended ) [ but necessary ]!. 3) updates somehow turn my settings "off" and over rule "MY SETTINGS" and I'm pissed that this is taking place!. 4) and .. my question is .. .. .. A) How re you doing that &amp .. B) What can be done to prevent this intrusion on my privacy !?? - JW... PS .. your message boards are avoiding this subject totally - why??? View this thread
