I was using IE and then it froze my laptop computer while I was watching a video.. I did a warm reboot, but the monitor will not come back on It has never done this. I have tried to update the monitor firmware and fun diagnostics, but it is fine. When I plug in a monitor or TV, it works just fine. The BIOS check does not beep, but is noticeably slower.

Greetings, I have just migrated to Windows 8 on my home computer. I notice that after a little while the computer basically shuts itself down. When I press the power button, it comes up within seconds. I assume its hibernating. So Im wondering do I really need to ever shut down the machine manually as I always used to do or just leave it and let it go to sleep all the time? (Obviously I have to restart when certain software is installed). Thanks David Z View the full article

I have following strange problem with keyboard and czech national characters: On czech keyboard some characters are writen as "combined" - one "modification" character followed by letter. Example: ˇ + T = Ť Now my problem is- on keyboard which is set as system default (czech QWERTY) it does not work, it produces: Example: ˇ + T = ˇˇT Well and the confusing part: The problem appears to be only when the keyboard is set as system default. If i select another keyboard as system default, and switch to "my" keyboard after start, the "my" keyboard works correctly. (But if the keyboard is set as default, switching to another keyboard and back doesnt help). Done all sorts of switching - default keyboard always wrong, secondary always ok. Am using windows 8, english language pack (system language), czech language pack installed. Its tablet PC - but the problem is on touchkeyb as well as on BT keyboard and USB keyboard. Have another machine with precisely the same language and input settings - without this problem (non-touch laptop). Maybe touch keyboard introduces this problem? Any advice appreciated.

I had Security Essentials running on my computer but somehow or other it was wiped out of my computer. I then installed my service providers security package with Norton. Had to uninstall that as it was practically taking over my computer. I just dowloaded Security Essentials again and it notified me that my Windows Firewall was not on and that I should check to make sure it was on. I did just that through my Control Panel and I keep getting message that "due to unidentifiied problem Windows cannot display Windows Firewall settings. I am afraid it is not running. Any ideas? Thanks. View this thread

Win8 Pro system whereby Device Manager (DM) hangs after invoking a scan for new hardware. The scan never completes and I cannot close Device Manager except by force via Task Manager. This system was in-place upgraded from Win7-Win8 a couple of days ago and after the Win8 desktop first came up I checked Device Manager and was able to perform the scan. The missing/incorrect driver I had to deal with was for my wireless device. Windows Update did not install a driver for it when invoked via the drivers tab on the device object. After downloading the latest driver from Acer for this laptop I attempted to install it; however, that didn't go so smooth. The installer hung at the very end and so nothing actually completed. I had to shut down/restart the system and now am in the state whereby the Device Manager now hangs too. Ideas? ...while I'm waiting for replies I'm going to try a System Restore point if any exists and see if I can get back to where at least the DM can scan for new hardware.

I was playing WoW on my windows 8 computer. The computer crashed and when it rebooted a screen flashed that said your computer has ran into a problem and needs to reboot. upon rebooting it comes up "Preparing Automatic Repair". It sits there for a while and I guess it fails because it reboots and flashes the computer ran into a problem screen again and repeats. I have tried getting the PC into safe mode it doesnt come up. I do not have a windows 8 install DVD to boot to. I downloaded an upgrade from vista to windows 8 from microsoft to get windows 8 on my computer. Is there anything I can do to get this fixed?
