I purchased the Win 7 X15-65733 product and using a new 8GB USB memory stick and followed the instructions to create a bootable ISO. The stick formatted and the program transferred until 100% when the progress bar turned red. It said something like data transferred but not able to get bootfile so ISO not bootable. I clicked Start Again and the stick formatted again but it said We are unable to copy your files, check your USB and ISO files and try again. The same unable to copy files report recurred. Help please. View the thread

Hi Guys, Just wondering if anyone else has seen this. Windows 8 boots ok. Logs in ok and start screen displays ok. I can run apps from the start screen without any problems. If however, I launch the desktop, it's blank. No icons, no wallpaper and nothing at all on the task band. Right click on the 'start button' I can access the usual stuff. Set command within cmd shows that the path to the desktop is correct Looking in resource manager shows that explorer is waiting on a service (WCT) but I can only get a pid for svchost. Has anyone seen the sort of thing before? Does anyone have any quick solution? This is the home desktop that the wife and kids have access to and there is a growing amount of decent in the ranks. If I am unable to resolve this soon, I'm going to wipe and rebuild. Cheers, Jay... View the full article

windows 8 Family Safety for Domain Accounts
News Bot posted a topic in Operating Systems Help & Support
Before I begin, I have searched for answers for this problem and the main thread people seem to point to as the answer (http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/zh/w7itprogeneral/thread/3175f930-84f6-49f7-bccb-2964ea85d050) applies to Windows 7 and doesn't work for Windows 8. I have a Windows Server 2012 Essentials domain with several clients connected to the Essentials server as domain members. One of the computers is used by my daughter who was previously using Windows 7 with Windows Live Family Safety before I upgraded the server from WHS 2011 to WSE 2012. After domain joining the client, the Family Safety settings disappeared from Control Panel. This was resolved by enabling the GPO setting Make Family Safety Available to Domain Computers (I paraphrased the name of the setting). After a gpupdate, the machine now states User Accounts and Family Safety in Control Panel instead of just User Accounts and the Family Safety settings are available. When trying to enable Family Safety for her account, it is not listed. The only account listed is the Administrator local account and none of the domain accounts are listed. I found a blog post online which suggests a workaround (http://stevejenkins.com/blog/2010/01/using-windows-live-family-safety-on-a-windows-domain/) but this fix only works for Windows 7 as adding the users as local administrators doesn't populate them into the Family Safety user list. So it looks as though Windows 8 only will allow you to enable Family Safety for local accounts which are connected to Microsoft IDs which are in turn linked to Windows Live Family Safety? Doing this though means that the child has to login with their Windows Live password and not a simple password setup for them on the internal network. The Windows Live account password in question is a complex one which she doesn't know to stop her accessing mail, messenger and other services. The ID exists purely to allow the application of Family Safety. My current options therefore are to downgrade the machine back to Windows 7 where the features will work as needed (not ideal) or log her on with a local account and make the Windows Live password simpler for her to use herself (insecure, exposes more features to her than needed and takes away some of the features of WSE 2012 such as Folder Redirection and File History). Has anyone else experienced or tried Family Safety on Windows 8 domain clients or managed to get it working? Whilst I understand that WSE 2012 is primarily designed to replace SBS, with the end of life of WHS, it is also the successor to WHS. I think the use of a domain is spot on: Who wants to manage separate users and passwords on all your household machines, but not being able to use Family Safety in this combination makes it quite ineffective for the home pro users wanting the latest features of Windows Server 2012 and Windows 8.

Ive run the usual windows updates and done quite a bit of web searching looking for answers but i keep drawing a blank. If any body was able to help me i would be really appreciative please. Many thanks View this thread

In Windows 8, I accidentally associated dll files with notebook and need them to be associated with nothing - I've figured out how to change the association to another program but cannot figure out how to return them to unaffiliated status. The earlier posts are not applicable to Windows 8. View the full article

This is a second letter for help. I have tried all suggestions from using FIXIT to the CMD and edit via Command Prompt. To checking the registry.I am not able to get the Print spooler to work. Does anyone have an idea why in Windows 7 the spooler for seemingly no reason stopped working. It is not the printers, I tried to load different printers drivers and used another printer with the same results. Thank You Joe View the thread

I was in the middle of browsing the TechNet site for a download when suddenly my laptop shut down and rebooted into a maintenance mode where I was locked out, it told me "cleaning up" do not power off your pc. needless to say I was at its mercy for as long as it decided to take. I found this little hiccup very annoying and would like to know what windows was doing, I am assuming it might be a scheduled "cleanup" but please warn a guy before just rebooting and locking up my pc for 45 minutes View the full article
