Windows 8 edb file
I have recently installed windows 8 and noticed that I hadn't had any free discspace left. After installing windows 8 I had about 40 GB's left. I found out dat the windows edb file was nearly 40 GB's. I read that it has to do with indexing and that you can shut it down. However it doesn't seem the same in windows 7. I can shut ik down for 15 minutes and also change its location. I did this but now the file is still increasing on my other harddisk. Does anyone has the same problem and kwows a structural solution?

Font in Windows and Chrome
Hi, I changed my Windows default size from 100% to 125%, decided I didn't like it and went back to 100%. Now a few things have changed font/size and I can't figure out how to change them back after playing with so many settings. I have tried the regedit fix which apparently fixes the bug in Windows 7. Didn't work. Restarted numerous times as well. Here is a picture of what is not right: http://i.imgur.com/bonbv.png As you can see, the tab text and size in Chrome is wrong.. The "12 items" in my computer is wrong.. and the drop down menus in an application like notepad is wrong.. Could anyone help me fix this? Thanks in advance, Luke. View the thread

Updates KB973688 and KB954430 keeps failing, error code 643
I try to update the updates KB973688 and KB954430, they keep failing. I don't know why, but I tried to run Fix It, twice, it said it fixed the problem, it did not. The error code is 643. All other updates install, it is just these two updates.I have tried the stand-alone installs, and return an error like this:Error opening installation log file. Verify that the specified log file location exists and is writableThis is weird. I have never gotten this error with an update before. I don't know what to do. I have no idea on how to fix this issue.PC specs:Windows 7 Home Premium, 64-BitIntel Celeron processorWindows Version: 6.1Architecture: amd64PC: Compaq Presario CQ57Ram: 2 GBPC is up to date (latest update package is KB2750147)Hard disk total space: 269GBHard disk space available: 67.9 GBAnti-virus software: AVG 2013 (free edition, up to date)Anti-malware software: MalwareBytes (up to date)I did a whole computer virus scan on the C: drive today, AVG has detected and removed five things, I tried to install the updates KB973688 and KB954430 about an hour after the scan was finished.Malware Bytes has detected nothing.

Cannot install KB2687499 on Windows Vista
The microsoft Update Installer continues to detect Security Update Microsoft Office suites (KB2687499) 32-bit Edition as necessary to install on my system and continues to fail. So, I downloaded the update manually but when I run it, I get the message: "Please wait while update detection is being run." and then I get the message "An error occurred while running detection." I have called the Help Center (SRX1193068976ID) and gave them the windows update error 80070663. The rep sent me the following links: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_other-windows_update/error-code-80070663/869d5ea6-9892-4273-a43d-26ee4f42efe2 http://support.microsoft.com/kb/913754 I followed all instructions and I still cannot resolve the issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Pam View this thread

How Can I Delete a Particular Windows Update?
I get automatic notices when updates are ready to be installed. I always check and choose which to install. At times, there are updates, i.e. Bing and Office 2010, which I do not choose to download. I do not see a way to delete these updates, hide them, or in some other way get rid of them. I've been all over MS Help and, guess what, no help was to be found! Can anyone here help! Thanks very much. View this thread

Why did Windows 8 do that?
Why did Windows 8 remove the Start menu from the Desktop? Why is Windows 8 marketing itself for touch screen when no one would ever use a touch screen desktop? Why isn't: Microsoft Office or Microsoft Movie Maker installed? Why are programs now called Apps, available only at an App store? Why is there no minimize, change window size, or exit button at the top right of windows anymore? Why is Windows 8 on desktop/laptop at all? Why am I being forced to relearn everything I have ever known about a computer? Why cant you split screen 2 windows evenly like in Windows7? Why are there no tabs for IE on Windows 8? How am I supposed to know out of the box how to close a program? How am I supposed to know out of the box how to shut down or restart the computer? How am I supposed to know out of the box how do do anything on Windows 8? Why didn't Microsoft fire Steven Sinofsky before he could ruin Windows 8? Why was there 0 oversight on Microsoft's part over Windows 8? Did Microsoft really expect PC/Laptop users to like, adapt, or admire Windows 8? Will Microsoft offer a free backwards compatibility to Windows 7? Please try to answer as may questions as possible. Thank you, Future Apple User. View this thread

Got a real mess. Latest Net framework would not install.
In reading solutions I found suggestion to run Microsoft Fixit, which I did, and it didn't fixit. Next solution was to run .Net Framework cleanup tool, which I did.. It removed ALL Net Framework versions. Now I can't get any except .Net Framework 4 to install. I haven't a clue on how to proceed. Having unfortunately removed ALL versions of .NET Framework, now I have to put them back. I had 1.1, 2 Service Pack2, 3 Service Pack 2, 3.5 Service Pack 1, and 4. Please advise how to 1. Download these again, 2. If there are different versions of one of these (as there are), how do I tell what I need, 3. Once in my downloads directory, how do I install them. 4. If I continue to get the Unable to install message, is there a solution? Thanks. View this thread

Upgrading to Windows 7: 32 bit or 64 bit?
My XP machine was cleared by the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor to run either the 32 bit or 64 bit version. However I would have to upgrade my RAM to 2.0 gigabyte for the 64 bit version. I currently have 1.5 gigabytes of RAM. 2.0 gigabytes of RAM is the most my machine will allow. Would I be better off with the 32 bit version and 1.5 gigabytes of RAM or 64 bit version and upgrade to 2.0 gigabytes of RAM? What about a third option of upgrading to 2.0 gigabytes of RAM and going to the 32 bit version? Thanks in advance for any advice. View this thread

I accidentally downloaded the 64-bit version when I need 32-bit
Hi, I downloaded the 64-bit version of Office 2013 Pro. When I went to install it, I got an error message saying I need the 32-bit version instead. However, the website won't let me download the 32-bit version, I guess because I already used up my registration. How can I download the 32-bit version now? Thank you. Kara View this thread

wireless keyboards that don't respond or type wrong characters
Hello I've contacted Dell a couple of times and all they have done was tried to update my drivers which didn't work or they had me use a corded keyboard which still had the problem. When typing my keyboard pauses, won't type, types the same character several times, takes up to 30 seconds between characters to be able to type another and than at other times there is zero problems. This can happen several times a day. It happens using IE, Firefox, typing in word, trying to access a website. Its very frustrating. I am using Windows 7 with a cordless keyboard. If anyone has any ideas on how to fix this problem I would appreciate it! View the thread
