In Windows 8 on a new HP Pavilion explorer.exe and LiveCom.exe, and occasionally other identified processes, are shown as Established connections when I type 'netstat -ano' into Command Prompt. Is this normal, and is there any danger here of hacking etc, please? Only IE used to show as Established in Vista, as it also does in Windows 8. Thanks for any help, Robin. View the full article

If I use Task Scheduler to open a file or program, the file or program opens (I can see it's opened in Task Manager) but it does not show up in an interactive Window. The code below is for opening an Internet Explorer Window with a html file that plays a song and reminds me to take my medication. I can hear the song playing when the task activates but no interactive Window opens. I can also see Internet Explorer is running in Task Manager and I can end the task there or in Task Scheduler. The same thing happens if I try to use Task Scheduler to open an .exe program. The task is set to run in Windows 8 and I'm running Windows 8 Pro. Could that be the problem? The Code: &lt?xml version=&quot1.0&quot encoding=&quotUTF-16&quot?&gt &ltTask version=&quot1.2&quot There was a Microsoft link here but it caused a submission error&gt &ltRegistrationInfo&gt &ltDate&gt2013-01-07T17:03:01.063985&lt/Date&gt &ltAuthor&gtRobs-PCRob&lt/Author&gt &ltDescription&gtTake Morning Medication&lt/Description&gt &lt/RegistrationInfo&gt &ltTriggers&gt &ltCalendarTrigger&gt &ltStartBoundary&gt2013-01-07T08:29:30&lt/StartBoundary&gt &ltExecutionTimeLimit&gtP3D&lt/ExecutionTimeLimit&gt &ltEnabled&gttrue&lt/Enabled&gt &ltScheduleByDay&gt &ltDaysInterval&gt1&lt/DaysInterval&gt &lt/ScheduleByDay&gt &lt/CalendarTrigger&gt &lt/Triggers&gt &ltPrincipals&gt &ltPrincipal id=&quotAuthor&quot&gt &ltUserId&gtRobs-PCRob&lt/UserId&gt &ltLogonType&gtPassword&lt/LogonType&gt &ltRunLevel&gtHighestAvailable&lt/RunLevel&gt &lt/Principal&gt &lt/Principals&gt &ltSettings&gt &ltMultipleInstancesPolicy&gtIgnoreNew&lt/MultipleInstancesPolicy&gt &ltDisallowStartIfOnBatteries&gtfalse&lt/DisallowStartIfOnBatteries&gt &ltStopIfGoingOnBatteries&gtfalse&lt/StopIfGoingOnBatteries&gt &ltAllowHardTerminate&gttrue&lt/AllowHardTerminate&gt &ltStartWhenAvailable&gttrue&lt/StartWhenAvailable&gt &ltRunOnlyIfNetworkAvailable&gtfalse&lt/RunOnlyIfNetworkAvailable&gt &ltIdleSettings&gt &ltStopOnIdleEnd&gttrue&lt/StopOnIdleEnd&gt &ltRestartOnIdle&gtfalse&lt/RestartOnIdle&gt &lt/IdleSettings&gt &ltAllowStartOnDemand&gttrue&lt/AllowStartOnDemand&gt &ltEnabled&gttrue&lt/Enabled&gt &ltHidden&gtfalse&lt/Hidden&gt &ltRunOnlyIfIdle&gtfalse&lt/RunOnlyIfIdle&gt &ltWakeToRun&gttrue&lt/WakeToRun&gt &ltExecutionTimeLimit&gtP3D&lt/ExecutionTimeLimit&gt &ltPriority&gt7&lt/Priority&gt &lt/Settings&gt &ltActions Context=&quotAuthor&quot&gt &ltExec&gt &ltCommand&gtC:UsersRobertScheduled-TasksTake-Morning-Medication.htm&lt/Command&gt &lt/Exec&gt &lt/Actions&gt &lt/Task&gt ******** The link used to open the html file works from the Start/Run command line.

I noticed I'm having a similar issue to this guy: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/br/w8itprogeneral/thread/408e7970-18bb-4eef-8177-a4cac46d7051 Basically what's happening is when I connect to our domain, I have to use a different DNS server than everyone else in our organization. If I use the DNS server we use for all the other computers, it won't let me join the domain (claiming it can't find the Active Directory Domain Controller). It says it's a private network instead of a domain network. If I use the DNS server that's behind our firewall (which, to my knowledge...isn't even a DNS server), it'll let me join the domain like normal. The network adapter will say I'm part of &quot____.local&quot. However I won't be able to access other PCs on our network if I leave that as the primary DNS server (I have to switch the primary DNS BACK to the original DNS server to connect to things beyond the firewall). I know this is kind of confusing but I'm not sure what's going on here. In short: procedure used to connect to domain normally does not work in Windows 8 and I have to use a different DNS server to join the domain (then switch back to the original DNS server if I want to connect to computers outside the firewall). Doesn't happen with any of our non-Windows 8-based machines (we have a Server 2012 running in our network as a sandbox server that has the same problem as the Windows 8 PC). View the full article

I am tring to update Windows 7 Home Premium. I built a computer with an AMD A10 chip, GA F2A85X-UP4 motherboard w/16Gb Ram, and a 128Gb SSD. Per the mobo manual, I installed the OS first, then the driver disk. When attempting to do updates to Win7, it hangs, whether trying to do it manual or automatic. On occassion, I can install some updates manually, but not often. I've tried the fix it utility, but it doesn't seem to do much, except to say the Windows Update database is fixed. What can I do to get the updates installed? If there is any other information needed, let me know. View this thread
