Can I install Windows 7 on a new Windows 8 computer? For me, Widows 8 was a huge mistake. View this thread

Hello I have HP brand new DV6-6247 and after backing up everything and installing few programs that I need, like VMware, ... Office, blah blah blah, I restart to install Windows updATES and it has been stuck With restarting message on screen now for over 2 hours. I thought it was updating, but no it is just trying to restart but it cant, and i have read many people with this problem. well if there is no fix for this, I will happily go back to windows 7 Ultimate, since I only have windows 8 basic edition and i need to connect to domain. Since Microsoft doesn't want to give a good deal (on Pro) to those who bought new windows 8 computers, i tried to upgrade they want 69.99 come on guys, if the computer came with windows 7 it would be 15, I really don't appreciate paying more for something than if I would have just told HP to give me the computer with windows 7 on it. I didn't even think about this, I thought I would be able to get the 15$ upgrade offer. Well I just tried to hard reboot and now it wont boot up, boots to black screen.. Oh man, this is not going to be fun. Help just somebody who knows someone over there at Microsoft Updates, please try to issue aN UPDATE that will solve this neverending restarting problem please.

I downloaded windows 8 upgrade for Windows 7 yesterday. first I couldn't access some of the menu like control panel and I couldn't search under the right side options. so after reading other posts about same issue I "refreshed" windows so it would keep all my files etc just refresh software..... well when it reloaded I noticed almost all of my programs were missing and all of my music was gone and it said my music folder was no longer there and could be safely removed. when I open my music from the xbox program it is all listed but when I click to play a song I get an error message. I have no idea what to do from here.... and my last saved restore point is gone so I cant undo these changes. Also on desktop there is now an icon named removed apps??? View this thread

I see that other people have had the same (potential) problem I am having with not being able to download updates. People have graciously suggested solutions - none of which have worked for me or others. (I haven't made any intentional changes to my system since the last successful update.) Microsoft Fixit says that the "Default Windows Update data locations have changed" and it has not run the fix. So, simply - Where is the default Windows Update data location? Can a marginally competent person fix this himself? Thank you. View this thread

Last batch of updates contained new DESKBAR search/indexing...which KB entry did this and how do I get rid of it.... do not need more than one search window at a time...used to old method of searching. Of course, if they actually explained what each update does IN ENGLIISH ( not everyone speaks geek ) , one might be able to discern which updates one really wants. View this thread

Keep getting a pop-up from my Norton Internet security stating that MTool is unsafe and it has been removed. However, the pop-up still keeps reappearing. It appears to be a virus of some sort but the Microsoft Safety Scanner did not detect it and I can't locate it on my system. Windows Defender doesn't detect it either. Any help would be most gratefully received. View this thread

When I receive an attachment to an email (using Zimbra Imail, Firefox, Windows XP Pro) and I click it and select "Download", I get the "Enter name of file to save to..." dialog box (because I already set the option to "Always ask me where to save files." But the file display always defaults to a "List". At least recently. I don't recall it always doing that. In any case, I want it to default to a "Details" display, in ascending order, as I can then find things sooo much faster that way. (I often use the "Date Modified" tab to bring to the top the most recent version of a file.) I know that I can go to the "View Menu" icon and select "Details", but each time I go into a sub folder while in this dialog box, I have to do that all over again and it wastes a lot of time and attention. I did some internet searches but didn't find a way to fix this. View this thread

I have been puzzled by this since XP days and did not have the time to pursue it. Perhaps now is the time. I have 8GB, Task Manager Processes tab shows &quot89% Memory&quot. I guess that means 89% of physical memory utilized as the Performance tab says 7/7.9GB (89%). One of the processes, Chrome 32bit is shown as taking up 902MB. I exited Chrome. All the Chrome processes disappeared from Task Manager. However, Task Manager shows 86% memory utilized. I was expecting a decrease of about 12% (1GB out of 8GB). I did nothing and waited for 10 minutes. There was no improvement. The numbers do not add up. Are the numbers supposed to mean something meaningful? If they are real, how do I get back my memory? Thanks. View the full article

I am trying to get a dual monitor setup with touch screen. Problem is only the primary screen will accept touch commands, and the secondary screen passes touch commands to the primary screen. Apparently the fix is to go to Control Panel and calibrate the screens via the &quotTablet&quot setting - problem for me is that I can't find the &quotTablet&quot setting anywhere. The only setting that apears if I do a search for Tablet is the &quotPen and Touch&quot setting. View the full article
