  2. I downloaded Windows 8 as you can see below on Wednesday, The Operating system was working well until today when it crashed. The next time I tried to reboot it , it was stuck on a message that read 'Preparing to configure Windows Don't turn off your computer'. So I am unable to access my laptop since that moment,I'm having to use my girlfriend's laptop and Microsoft account to send this message. I'm a Computing student so I need a working computer most of the time , Because I downloaded it from your website I have no boot disc so I can't install the operating system again. Looking on internet forums I have noticed that other people have had the same problem and there is no fix for this issue without rebooting the laptop. I have deadlines coming up and I'm unable to do work for them without having a working laptop. Because of this problem I need you to either tell me a way I can fix it , offer me a refund or give me a windows 8 boot disc so I can try and sort out the problem myself by rebooting the computer and installing the operating system again.

  9. Hello, I have tried every possible solution to this problem to no avail. I have run SFC, readiness tool, tools specific to 80070490 ERRORS, an 11 step manual process on the Microsoft support website, and any other possible solution I can find. I have a PC that did not come with a Windows 7 Home Premium recovery disc but instead a protected recovery partition. Before I purchased the PC the store upgraded the OS to Windows 7 Pro 64bit using Windows Anytime Upgrade. IMMEDIATELY upon getting the PC home before doing ANYTHING else I created a set of recovery discs. All was fine and good until recently when I began having the 80070490 errors. The recommendation at this point is to reinstall the OS!! This is like replacing the engine, electrical, and all other systems in a car because the odometer does not work. Since the error is alleged to be caused by a corrupt file which keeps record of windows updates doesn't Microsoft have a tool that can detect updates correctly installed and "wipe out" those incorrectly installed, performing a reset of that database (or whatever type of file it is) file and allow us to re-perform corrupt updates? Even if it meant having to reinstall every single update it would be far easier than having to perform a system recovery (which I do not know would work because of the change in the OS from Win 7 HP to Pro (both 64bit)), then another "anytime upgrade," then reinstall and re-update every single app installed on my PC and perform all patches and updates to those as well? Isn't there even a default system upate tracking file that would assume NO updates had been performed and simply perform all Win 7 updates again, correcting registry errors, overwriting potentially corrupt files, etc.? Finally, is it a coincidence that this error is rampant while Windows 8 is being offered for 39.99? I have tried the new OS and it is counter intuitive to me as it is to many others. Some of the major PC magazines are recommending against the update even at the 39.99 price. My partner purchased a new PC with it preinstalled and he and I both do not like it. I was the N.A. at my last business and have always performed OS upgrades as they were released and participated in some betas for MS and other companies so I am not a newbie. This is the first OS that I can honestly say I will resist until it is absolutely necessary to upgrade or a new OS is released that gets rid of the things I consider counter intuitive about Win 8. So, is MS not correcting this security error update to the print spooler because it is hoping to "encourage" people to upgrade to Win 8? I know it may sound paranoid but I would not put anything past any large multi-national corporation at this point. The last thing is why can I not perform a REPAIR INSTALL using my Windows 7 Pro 64bit anytime upgrade? I already purchased the Win 7 Home Premium k64 bit OS and the upgrade to the Pro version. The only difference is it has been discless. Other than that I have paid for functional versions of both OS's and why is someone who purchases DVD versions of the OS be able to perform a repair install but those of us who have purchased electronic versions be prohibited from the same rights? This hardly seems fair or ethical and places a significant burden on those of us who will have to spend days reconstucting our PC's rather than simply performing a repair install. So, please help us ALL. Thank you. Sincerely, Ed S. View this thread
  10. Hello all. I really hope someone can help me with this, since I can't use my computer at all, and I have to use a different laptop to write this post.The Problem: Windows Vista will not start with normal settings or in Safe Mode.

  14. My access to my WHS server has somehow been changed and I am no longer able to RTP into it. When I enter the correct password, I get a long error message stating that I have to be included in some type of admin group and that has to be done manually, which I can't do without logging in. I never had a problem with this before, everything else on the server (Acer Aspire easyStore 340) is working properly through the console, but I can't install or modify software as a result. I'm pretty sure the reason is that I used to manage and access the server via RTP from a desktop that crashed badly and I now cannot use and I am now trying to do this through my laptop. Does anyone have any ideas on how I could fix this without doing a full restore on the server? View this thread
  15. Hello people, the sad thing about this story is that i only have this laptop 3 days and its already giving me a problem/headache. I cannot believe a newly configured laptop is like this. I have the new IdeaPad from Lenovo running on an i7 quad core and a 650M nvidia and 8 GB of Ram. 2 things I noticed is the fluctuation the RAM to 40% when clearly I am not even using 2. My CPU never clocks more than 40%..stable at 1-3%. Looking at my screenshots below, u can see that 3.2GB are in use....clearly they arent in the next screenshot. So i figured there is a Memory leakage. A heavy one. So please explain to me how I can solve this problem. I have run a registry optimization program 2 times (clean registry), updated every driver, uninstalled McAffee completely (guess that wasnt the problem) and virus scanned many times. Nothing. Then I look onto my UNINSTALL programs and I see that my newly installed Battlefield 3 is taking up 3.99 TB of space (???? impossible cuz my C drive doesnt testify that at all) could it be my BF3 game? Furthermore as notes to be considered. Initially I was running League Of Legends at a steady 60FPS but ever since the Memory leak (2 days later) I cant go higher than 30FPS. So I thought it was a video card problem but it clearly isnt.

  22. I am running Windows 7 Pro. On my last machine, I was able to right click on a file or folder, go down to &quotSend to&quot, and among the options was &quotSend to folder&quot. Now this option is not available. Is there any way I can get that option back in the options for places I can send a file or folder, or is it just not an option in this version of Windows? I am pretty sure that I still had that option when I upgraded my old laptop to Windows 7 Pro. View the thread
