After starting pc, desktop icons will shift position? Is there a software program that will remember the position of each icon? Thanks View this thread

I recently upgraded to BT Infinity broadband. Now, when I try to print anything, &quotPrint to One Note&quot no longer appears in my list of printer options. My wife's laptop is linked to the BT network and she is not having the same problem and our wireless printer is functioning OK, so I'm reluctant to think it's related to the broadband upgrade. Any suggestions? View this thread

Hello, I have an issue where I have pinned Google Chrome and Outlook to my task bar but when opening these programs from my task-bar it opens it separately from the pinned item and I know it sounds petty but it really is bugging me! The first icon is Google Chrome which Windows 8 seems to have lost the icon for and then found it later down the chain... and then office you can see as well... Is there anything I can do to fix this? PC is kept up to date Have fun sfc /scannow Have gone through all of the settings to no avail Have checked shortcuts and ensured they are linked up correctly Have completely removed everything and re-added and problem still persists...

I am unable to burn CDR or DVD+R discs from Explorer. After inserting a blank disc and clicking Burn to disc, a dialog pops up - &quotWindows can't read the disc in drive X: Make sure that the disc uses a format that Windows recognizes. If the disc is unformatted you need to format it before using it.&quot There is no option to format a non-RW disc. Uninstalling and reinstalling the drive from Device Manager does not help. I tried installing PowerISO, and it burns discs OK using the same drive. This PC used to have Windows 7, and there were no burning problems. Does anyone know what is going on here?

I have windows vista and am trying to type on legal 28 numbered paper. I can't keep my lines of type on the same line as the number. It stays on for a few lines and then begins to creep down so that after a few lines on a page I am no longer able to keep the sentence and the number on the side of the page on the same line. Thanks.

I have moved to Windows 8 from XP where &quoton startup&quot tasks worked fine. In Windows 8 I can't for the life of me get one to run. I add it through the UI and have Enable Tasks History set, but it never runs and there are no errors in the Event Log. The task is (for now) just to run a test .bat script, and is defined as: &lt?xml version=&quot1.0&quot encoding=&quotUTF-16&quot?&gt &ltTask version=&quot1.4&quot xmlns=&quothttp://schemas.microsoft.com/windows/2004/02/mit/task&quot&gt &ltRegistrationInfo&gt &ltDate&gt2013-01-05T11:04:13.4996188&lt/Date&gt &ltAuthor&gtJCPR-Dell-3peter&lt/Author&gt &lt/RegistrationInfo&gt &ltTriggers&gt &ltBootTrigger&gt &ltEnabled&gttrue&lt/Enabled&gt &ltDelay&gtPT10S&lt/Delay&gt &lt/BootTrigger&gt &lt/Triggers&gt &ltPrincipals&gt &ltPrincipal id=&quotAuthor&quot&gt &ltRunLevel&gtHighestAvailable&lt/RunLevel&gt &ltUserId&gtS-1-5-18&lt/UserId&gt &lt/Principal&gt &lt/Principals&gt &ltSettings&gt &ltMultipleInstancesPolicy&gtIgnoreNew&lt/MultipleInstancesPolicy&gt &ltDisallowStartIfOnBatteries&gttrue&lt/DisallowStartIfOnBatteries&gt &ltStopIfGoingOnBatteries&gttrue&lt/StopIfGoingOnBatteries&gt &ltAllowHardTerminate&gttrue&lt/AllowHardTerminate&gt &ltStartWhenAvailable&gtfalse&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 &ltDisallowStartOnRemoteAppSession&gtfalse&lt/DisallowStartOnRemoteAppSession&gt &ltUseUnifiedSchedulingEngine&gtfalse&lt/UseUnifiedSchedulingEngine&gt &ltWakeToRun&gtfalse&lt/WakeToRun&gt &ltExecutionTimeLimit&gtP3D&lt/ExecutionTimeLimit&gt &ltPriority&gt7&lt/Priority&gt &lt/Settings&gt &ltActions Context=&quotAuthor&quot&gt &ltExec&gt &ltCommand&gtcmd&lt/Command&gt &ltArguments&gt/c E:utilscy-test.bat arg1 arg2&lt/Arguments&gt &lt/Exec&gt &lt/Actions&gt &lt/Task&gt The scheduler task is running (other tasks run and show history).

I'm very close to abandoning windows OS. It doesn't make sense to me that with browser and email I'm able to use iphone, firefox but with windows I have issues with common everyday features not working, hanging programs, updates not working, reinstalling software over and over again, etc. I spend more time trouble shooting and looking for solutions than actually using my devices. It's not right. View the full article

I am attempting to install Windows XP on a recently wiped drive as an upgrade on my HP-Compaq nc6400. (Full Specs- http://www.cnet.com/laptops/hp-compaq-nc6400-core/4507-3121_7-31851193.html ) My primary issue is that XP cannot detect any hard drives. I've checked them over the format is correct, I've run HDD diagnostics via 3rd pary and start-up screen, but none of that is working. I've even tried new hard drives (none have a 'C' drive), but to no avail. I can get Linux [better than nothing?] to install, so is it that further confounds things. So the, my question is: How does one assign a 'C' letter to a hard drive? I can't do it through any other Windows computer because it already has a 'C' drive. Any solutions? If further details are required, please do not hesitate to ask (note the link has all the system specs). View this thread

I used to be able to put the computer into hibernate mode when I wasn't using it. Somehow I've lost that option and now only have Sleep or Shut Down. How can I get it back. I think I lost it when I did a clean up to increase my available free space on C drive. View this thread

W8 continues doing great: http://www.dividend.com/news/2013/argus-downgrades-mircosoft-msft/ ---- Argus reported on Friday that they have lowered their rating for software company, Microsoft Corporation(MSFT). The firm has downgraded MSFT from a “Buy” to a “Hold,” due to a lack of sales of Windows 8. ---- http://blogs.barrons.com/techtraderdaily/2013/01/04/microsoft-argus-cuts-to-hold-windows-8-well-behind-win-7-adoption-curve/ Quote: Argus Research‘s Joseph Bonner today cut his rating on shares of Microsoft (MSFT) to Hold from Buy, writing that “Early data indicate that Windows 8 may not be selling particularly well and that mass adoption will likely take longer than initially expected.” Quote: While we expected the adoption of Windows 8 to build slowly, without an “Apple-like” blockbuster debut, it currently appears that Windows 8 has had no impact on consumers’ migration to non-Windows tablet devices and has done little to boost PC sales. PC makers Fujitsu and Acer have both pointed to weak sales of Windows 8 devices. Fujitsu has said that it will miss its fiscal year target for PC shipments by one million units, and has lowered its unit shipment forecast to 6 million from 7 million. Meanwhile, Acer management has commented that the Windows 8 touch-screen interface may be scaring off consumers. Industry tracker NPD Group recently reported that sales of Windows devices fell 21% year-over-year in the month following the release of Windows 8, and that sales of notebook PCs fell 24% during this period. NPD also noted that Windows 8 accounted for 58% of Windows device sales versus 83% for Windows 7 at the same time in its release cycle. In addition, although the new Surface tablet is clearly a showcase for the company’s technology, disappointing sales could tarnish this first foray into tablet computing. The Surface Pro, with full MS Office compatibility, is scheduled to be released in January. However, even with full Office functionality, the base model price of $899, compared to $399 for an iPad 2, could give some customers pause. Windows 8 has several innovative features and has generally received positive reviews. However, the acid test is consumer adoption, which is likely to take longer than we initially expected. Oh well, this article has one failure: The reviews were actually for the most part just average. Especially sad that all of this is actually fixable. A bit more honest marketing and a bit more options in the software itself about which GUI you prefer and everything would be far smoother and with far less drama. Yet they insist on playing this ego game for no good reason. View the full article
