I was looking at an interesting Microsoft programming tool: TouchDevelop (see http://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/store/app/touchdevelop/fe08ccec-a360-e011-81d2-78e7d1fa76f8) and wanted to download it to my Win 8 DesktopModern UI. 1. I could not locate the app in the Windows Store 2. When I clicked on the (free) download link (in the above URL) I got this: "You need to sign in with a Microsoft account on your phone before you can get apps from Windows Phone Store." Windows Phone Store? Never heard of it. I'm familiar with the Modern UI "Store". Question: How many Windows stores are there? (I hope there will not be a Windows "Surface" store! One store for all, please.) TIA, edm2 View the full article

The reason why I am trying to avoid Paint as much as I can is because even it merely loads and saves in JPEG (without changes), there is actually increase in file size! In several instances, I took a screenshot using Snipping Tool and saved it as a JPEG. Another same screenshot was taken using Print Screen keyboard button and pasted to Paint, the saved JPEG file size is a lot bigger than the one saved using Snipping Tool. Why is it so?

I am fearful of downloading extra software from the web to enable my MP4 files to work with Movie Maker. If it were a Microsoft fix, directly from Microsoft, I would download it, but just to download something from a place I am not familiar with is not acceptable. How can I make the hundreds I spent on Microsoft software useful for my needs in a manner that will not jeopardize my computer? Thank you very much. View this thread

I'm working with an internet friend on an issue with her Windows 8 password expiration. She has Windows 8 and is unable to set the password expiration so it doesn't ask to change the password so often. I have Windows 8 Pro and I am able to use a couple of different methods to get into the advance User properties and reset the password expiration duration to whatever I want. She is unable to get to these options and is given an error that her version of Windows 8 does not use that snap-in. This individual is 88 years old and dearly loves her Windows 8 and sings its praises to anyone who will listen. However, she lives by herself and is the only one who ever uses her computer. This is just an extremely annoying thing she would like to fix. Is she stuck with not being able to manage her password just because she doesn't have Windows 8 Pro? View the full article

All, I cannot connect to any Win8 PC in my network. The error I receive is here - I have enabled remote desktop in Windows 8. I have disabled the firewall. I have done a telnet host 3389 to verify it is listening. This is a domain administrator account that I'm using. However, for the purposes of testing I also added the account directly to the remote desktop users group on the Win8 PC. Still no luck. Anyone offer any insight?

I have Windows XP and use Firefox. I went to Microsoft Word Perfect free download and clicked the button to download it but only a stupid thing called 24x7Help was installed which was a bad thing. This was through Microsoft! Does anyone know where can I find a free legit Word Perfect Download? Thanks. View this thread

It failed to upgrade. I read the KB and found that upgrade from 32-bit to 64-bit of Windows 7 is not allowed. But not sure whether the Product Key of the Windows 7 Home Premium is either 32-bit or 64-bit. May I know how to check? There is no keyword like x64 or 64-bit on the COA label. What I am sure is the Windows 7 Starter is SP1, while the Windows 7 Home Premium has no preloaded service pack. Is the information above is enough for anyone to help me out? What other ways can I try? (I only have the Windows 7 Starter DVD, the reason why I do not have the Windows 7 Home Premium DVD is that the PC was bought from HP that came without any Windows installation disc and the recovery discs which I had created were no longer readable by the optical drive.)

i am using windows 8, and just got my computer a couple of weeks ago. no real issues at all outside of trying to navigate and learn the new windows 8 layout and paths for navigating, though that's all pretty well settled. i don't recall any real upgrades or updates. today my norton was alerting me to the need for a scan. i did it and all threats were resolved, and they were the small usual sorts. i turned on silent mode just in case. i downloaded windows movie maker as i could not locate it after trying and when i went to open it, the computer froze on a dimmed picture of my desktop wallpaper only for about three to five minutes then just came back with no opening of the software. same thing over again. so i deleted it and downloaded it again only to have the same issue. i tried downloading another piece of software thinking movie maker was no longer a part of windows, but the same thing happened. then i saw that it would take an update to install windows essentials, that apparently had it bundled. when i went to power down and restart thinking that might help i saw an option for update and restart. i did this and it's been well over two hours now with just the "working" circle going around and around (alienware). i'm not sure if there is a big update or what, but i've never had one take so long. should i keep going, force quit or something else? any suggestions from those more experienced than me would be welcome. thanks :) View the full article

I have a 3 year old Toshiba laptop where the HDD died. I have reinstalled Windows 7 using a family members installation disk as my laptop was pre-loaded and without the disk. My serial number no longer works and I do not wish to repurchase. I also do not wish to reformat as I have a number of files that I have put on it since the install - Is this possible? How can I register my software again? The windows version is Home Prem OA (X15-53758) View the thread

Saludos, ojala me puedan ayudar, tengo una laptop VAIO PCG-61A11U con windows 7, y si me produce sonido, el problema es que cada 7 u 8 segundos existe una pequeña distorsion molesta parecido al sonido que emite una radio que pierde señal o como si la bocina estuviera distorsion. y me pregunto si tiene que ver directamente con el hardware ,o el software y si puedo arreglarlo yo mismo.

I am have been having major problems downloading onto Windows 7. I purchased the download via my company's Microsoft HUP site and received my confirmation email along with license code. I can't even get started with the download as I get an error message: windows cannot find c:program filesmicrosoft 15client 64xintegrated office.exe. How do I get that on my pc? I see a microsoft 15 folder but all that's in it is client 64x and NO .exe file. I am currently using office 2010 but want to upgrade to 2013. Thanks! View this thread
