I have several BRD data disks. In Win7 I can copy off the disk's without issue. In Win8 when I copy I get errors that it can't copy a file(or a few). Win asks to try again or skip. I click skip and it repeatedly tries again(Taking about 5 mins each pop). Eventually(after about an hour) it will skip the file. Again, win7 does not have issues copying and the file is not corrupt as it does copy the same file(that is correct) that win8 craps out on. This makes it impossible to use the backups in win8 and I must go to win7. The burned disks may have quality issues but, again, win7 gets the job done just fine. View the full article

FTM 2012 worked on my computer using Windows Vista for half a day. Have tried reloading the program but always comes up with the message "NET.Framework 4.0 missing". I noticed yesterday someone else had the same problem though with 64xbit (I have 32xbit) but I just cannot find this message now. I now it had a solution for those with 32xbit. The program worked perfectly on my laptop using Windows 7 but is rather difficult to imput lots of information due to its size. Thank you. View this thread

I have a Dell Dimension B110. with windows XP.. I let (even the young) kids use this pc. It has become practically worthless. When I bought the computer I got several cd's with it. As i was reading through the owners manual I found that the computer could be erased and it would be like it was when it showed up at my door. This would be great!! but as I proceeded to go through the steps the first thing to do was AS SOON AS THE COMPUTER STARTS ...1. see a blue bar, immediatly hit crtl .& f-11 .. as soon as i hit the ctrl & f11 it says CAN NOT RESTORE I have never tried to do this before and I did buy the computer new. I should be able to have what I paid for.. Is there sny way to get around this CAN NOT RESTORE problem.. that computer would make wonderful beginers computer for my cousin. and then we could comunicate through the computer and play cribbage/.. Thank You Tuluchee View this thread

I had causing my m/c to go slow. Is this for real. He then wanted to load a file on my m/c to help him have access to improve stuff. I stopped him at that point, he gave me his mobile number to call him back on!! He took me though the system log and showed all the errors I had accumulated on my PC, seemed ok until he took me to www,windowsupport.us and then to click on "Show my PC" which results in a request to load a file "ShowMyPC3105.exe" which I declined. How much of this is real or scam? View this thread

First, I have many files I do not want to lose, and am not a computer expert. As in many other such problems shown here, I am getting the black screen and "Windows not genuine" - this after a year of use, using what I believe to be genuine windows 7 Pro sealed copy. I called Microsoft last night and the person (foreign) told me that the key I had was only good for a year! Is that even possible? Next, I want to fix this the easiest way possible, and will pay for new key if necessary. What I don't want to do s to start a days long process that causes my existing data to be lost . Is there an easy solution for a non-computer geek? View the thread

It seems to be common knowledge (and hundreds of forum posts) that Windows 8 will not create automatic restore points - particularly prior to update installation. Is anyone at MS actively working on this issue or do we have the typical MS stonewall because either no one is paying attention or more probably because they do not know how to fix it? My solution for now is to recommend that nobody set their machine for automatic update installation but this is indeed a sorry state of affairs. View the full article

Updated Office 2010 to 2013. It stated I had a conflicting program. I uninstalled the program (don't remember what it was) and updated Office 2013 (64 bit) and now when I launch any Office software or access the internet through my FireFox browser it gives me the error: pagefault_in_nonpaged_area (win32k.sys) and automatically reboots my computer. Did all the hardware tests, everything is working. It seems to be a software conflict. Any ideas how I can fix this problem? View the thread
