I'm having trouble downloading this update. When it gets to stage 3 at 78% it says...."updates not configured correctly-reverting changes". Anyone know what to do? I have Norton and have done virus scans and found nothing. Microsoft wants to charge me $100 to fix it. View this thread

Ok, so I have my new Windows Phone 8 Lumia 920! Awesome phone, I have loved the 7.5, but anyhow, here is the issue: Syncing with Exchange 2010. Account set up. Emails appear, calendar appears, contacts do not appear in &quotPeople&quot. However, if I dial a contact I know, do I manually dial the number of someone in my Outlook contacts, the name appears, and if I view previous calls and click on the contact, it says it is part of my company's sync, and all the info is displayed. So the contact is on the phone, but I cannot view them in 'People'. How in the world does that happen? Yes, I have checked the filters, and the only one selected is the Exchange ActiveSync, and yes, I have checked the Sync settings and contacts are ticked. Yes I have set to factory defaults. So frustrated right now! All Idea's welcome. Thanks! CISSP, CISM, nCSE, MCITP, MCSE, MCTS View the full article

I had Win 7 Professional running under Fusion on a MacBook Pro. I bought a new Mac and deleted the Fusion partition and Windows from the old MacBook. I then used the same Product ID to install Windows 7 under Fusion on the new machine. The software will not activate because Microsoft thinks the old system is still active. How do I solve this problem so I don't have to buy a new copy of Windows? Thanks. View the thread

Pop up keeps coming up with a download / run request. Usually stating that a video is not supported. Sometimes another type ad or something is there. I have increased MS popup protection, run scans by MS Security Essentials and Avast but have not been able to find it. View this thread

The latest Windows 7 update crashed my wireless networking. I spent hours blaming my AP until I realized my tablet and phone had no problems. Restored my laptop to Dec 17 and connected immediately. Problem resolved. Definitely worried about doing further updates so I am only going to accept updates in a month or so and hope Microsoft has resolved the issue. View the thread

This is for my friend. He uses a Windows 7 Home Premium PC 64-bit, with Intel Core2Duo & 3GB of RAM. He says that he is not able to do a good multi-tasking with his PC. He says that his PC slows down when there is a Video Editor & PowerPoint is simultaneously opened. Should he install Win7 32-bit instead of 64-bit?? Will it gives more ability to do multi-tasking?

I have a newish Toshiba Pro/P300 laptop that came with Vista but I, perhaps foolishly, had a 'genuine' copy of Windows 7 Home put on it. It worked fine for 2 years then it started crashing for the past month(to save the disk/data supposedly) daily but just recently it finally shut completely and gave the message below. I have attempted EVERYTHING to get into safe mode(cannot!) to get to the 'repair' window(cannot!). Tried F2, F8, F12 but it always comes back to this message and status code. I can get into Set-up screen(BIOS) and have changed the thing to 'Compatability' but it made no difference. Not sure if I can do anything else in set-up. I do have the Toshiba Product Recovery DVD-ROM, Satellite Pro/P300, Microsoft Windows XP Prof - BUT I am desparate to try to get the data back(especially on the desktop) before I try the XP disk, which I understand WILL LIKELY delete ALL data! If it in fact even works! Is this correct? Is there a 'repair' function in the recovery disk which will save my data? What can I try to recover the data? Should I get someone to make cd boot disk or something? Keep in mind I am virtually pc illiterate!! Hope someone can help...soon! Windows Boot Manager Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software chance miht be the cause. To fix the problem: 1. Insert your windows installation disc and restart your computer. 2. Choose your language settings and click "Next." 3. Click "repair your computer."# Status: 0xc000000f Info: The boot selection failed because a required device is inaccessible. View the thread

Every time I my laptop installs the December updates, it'll restart but then it'll go to the start up screen and it is that "Windows was unable to start up" and then I get the choices to try start up normally (which never works) and then to Start up Windows repair, then I have to do a system restore. I have to do a System Restore almost every day and sometimes twice in one day. I really need help with this. I've never had this problem before. View this thread

Windows 8 compatibility toolo indicates that my xp bios may not have NX or NX is not turned on (which I doubt). Install of win 8 will apparently try to turn it on NX..... if this does fail which I'm not optomistic then an upgrade from xp to win 7 wouldn't be bad, considering the support will be longer and another win 8 computer that I have will comunicate with the currnt xp better (skydrive sync)... Just don't know if the hassle in time and if it going to more than the $40 win 8 upgrade --- is worth it. Thanks for any insight and comments. View this thread

Windows could not search for new updates. Have tried the fix but still no joy. Am running Windows 7. View this thread

Hi, Why do I have to enter the full name of an app in the search term of Apps Search in the start menu of Windows 8? For instance, I have installed "Tweetro". Search for "Twee" , "Tweet" or "Tweetr" results in 0 hits. Only "Tweetro" gives me the hit. Is there any way to configure this to report partial hits as well? Edit: I see from this blog post that he getsa hit on "Microsoft Word 2010" when searching for "Win". What? Why? And have they changed the functionality? I too have Word installed, but does not get a search hit on "win". I'm running Windows 8 Enterprise Evaluation View the full article
