I have just upgraded from Windows 7 to 8 and am seeing the same noise problem when I attempt to play something with the Windows Media Player. For Windows 7 someone gave a fix for the repeating noise bursts, but I don't know how to fix Windows 8. Playing from a CD or from Real Player Library does not show the noise bursts?

This is the second time in 2 months. The background was different and a bunch of gadgets appeared on a side bar that I never have on my desk top. When I tried to get onto internet for some answers I found my home page had been hijacked by Yahoo. I never use yahoo nor do I use the AOL stuff that appeared as a separate tab. Since the first time this happened a couple of months ago I have been denied access to "my documents", and some others, and left with no solution to regain that access or reason why this happened. The experience the first time was frightening and I restored my computer to an earlier date. I then, out of fear, went through a process of checking all of my financial links and ran a full credit check to get some piece of mind that this was not a tampering issue caused by a bug, worm or other computer predator. How can I stop this from happening again and how can I regain the access to my files that have been saved? I am not very high tech so need some layman guidance on this issue. Thank you to anyone who can help View this thread

The background image appears, along with the large data and time, after first booting the PC. I can select a different lock screen, and that shows up when logged on and locked. But, after signing out, all that I see is a light blue background with the date/time, and no image. This is happening on two PCs, one on a domain, the other standalone. I have tried suggestions from other forums, such as select a new lock screen from "Change PC settings" (no, that's only for the current user), and changing "Force a specific default lock screen image" with Group Policy Editor, still no image after sign out. Has anyone else experienced this? Ideas for fixing the problem? View the full article

I'm currently trying to create a multi-boot laptop. I'm planning on having MS-DOS, Windows 95, Windows XP and Windows Vista. I've installed MS-DOS 6.22 (after several issues) but now I don't know how to get Windows 95 installed. I think that the CD-ROM drive isn't being recognised but to be honest I am useless with DOS so may be missing something obvious. Anyone able to give step-by-step instructions, with the assumption that I won't understand abbreviations for anything? View this thread

Anyone know how I can find an update to D.E.P. on my WinXP pro machine? View this thread

Early in December 2012 I upgraded to Windows 8 pro from Windows 7 Home on my ACER s3-951 ultrabook (i7 processor). The system ran well for about 2 weeks. On December 15th, my system automatically rebooted to get a windows update. I could hear the computer from the other room. When I returned to the PC, the metro UI was frozen and was not responsive to input. Rebooting did not fix this. Switching to the administrator account, the Metro UI appeared to work fine. After asking on various message boards, I gave up and did a system reset. I followed directions from the ACER site and installed all the Windows 8 drivers for my system. I also created a brand new account for my use. The Metro UI is working, but many of the applications are unstable or don't work. Skype started up, query me for permissions, asked for my skype ID, and then proceeded to hang. Eventually skype gets an error code. I have since reloaded the desktop version. I associated my login account with one of my Microsoft accounts. Mail would not let me add google accounts. I discovered by accident that the mail program was hanging on my windows account because it did not have an associated email account. I switched my windows account to use my live.com account and mail started working properly. Netflix is very unstable. It sometimes starts a movie, but if I click on the movie screen to adjust the volume or fast forward my location in the movie, the controls never appear and within seconds Netflix crashes. Occasionally, Netflix starts, but hides the cursor. In these occasions clicking on the screen WILL bring up the controls, but the cursor never appears. Sometimes when starting a moving, the buffer makes it to 37% and then stops. I can hear the sound, but get no video. Other Metro UI apps have equally bizarre behavior. I am about to wipe my computer using the remove and reinstall option. This will require a lot of my time. So far, I have been very unhappy with Windows 8. I expected this all to work, but instead, I am wasting a lot of time. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this shy of doing a remove and reinstall? View the full article

Window 7 Update downloads and goes to pending but fails to install upon restart. Followed MS instructions to restart in Safe Mode (also tried Clean Restart). Update will not run in Safe Mode even though MS instructions say to do that. What do I need to do to enable my computer to be able to install MS Updates? View this thread
