I opened up a bunch of clips with WLMM, had to edit a bunch of them ( making "projects") and then they became WLMP files, which I can't upload to Facebook...nor can I figure out how to change the extension. I had used Any Video Converter to change the extensions of the ones I didn't need to edit, but it won't even accept the WLMP file to begin with. I need to be able to post these to share with distant family, and the files are too big for email...help! Thanks View the thread

Has anyone done some testing in regards to doing the full system image from Windows 7 File Recovery versus creating and setting a CustomRefresh.wim with the recimg tool? The Refresh seems easier to perform in the event I need to restore the image and it won't affect my user files. The file size is also smaller. One downside I see is that I don't automatically get versioned images like I do with the W7FR system image tool, but that doesn't bother me since I've never restored an image beyond the most recent one I've made. Thoughts? View the full article

I have a laptop with Windows 7 64bit Enterprise on one partition, and Windows 8 64bit Enterprise on the other. I installed 7 first, then 8. For a while the system prompted for Windows 7 or Windows 8 at boot up. Recently Windows 8 had some problems and wanted to repair itself by reinstalling. I inserted the system disk and told it to go ahead. It had whiped out the software that I had installed (Office 2013 and Visual Studio 2012), which was fine, becuase this was a fresh build with no data. After it repaired itself, it was no longer prompting for the dual boot, it was going straight to Windows 8. The Windows 7 partition is still there. It is called SYSTEM and does not have a drive letter assigned. How can I repair this using Windows utilities only? I do not want to download non-Microsoft utilities. View the full article

Hello! I am trying to share my scanner whilst using remote desktop. I have enabled supported RemoteFX USB devices on both machines so that under 'local resources' (more button) my scanner now shows up (under the 'other supported remoteFX USB devices'). However when I connect, only the printers show up in devices on the remote machine as redirected, no other devices show up. Both machines are running win 8 pro with all latest windows updates installed. I have checked on the microsoft website, and 'supported USB devices' are supported using remote FX for win8 pro. What am I doing wrong? View the full article
