How do I fix a "runtime error" with internet explorer. I have gone to the control panel to just delete Internet Explorer and re-install a new clean Internet Explorer but there is no Internet Explorer listed in the Programs that will give me the option to delete. View this thread

I want to burn multiple albums to an Audio CD. The CD has 4.3gb. However, when I load multiple albums to be burned it separates them i.e. Disc 1, Disc 2 etc. When I try burning it burns only one Album at a time per CD, ejects the CD and asks for another CD to complete my burn list. Am I doing something wrong? It seems like such a waste of space. View this thread

When I receive a forwarded email it seems to end up in the wrong folder and ignores the rules that I've set. Are there special rules relating to items forwarded? Does it know where the email has been forwarded from and it reads that address instead of the original sender? View the thread

So I purchased a new laptop with Win7 installed in it, and decided to take advantage of the cheap Win8 upgrade offer - just in case. I'm not willing to fully commit myself to Win8 yet but I'd like to fiddle around with it anyway, and so I tried to create a dual boot on another partition which failed because of the disk being of GPT style. Now, after reading a bit, I though of this: would I be able to delete the existing partitions and reformat the drive to be MBR and then reinstall Win7 (from a recovery DVD) in this new partition, and then install Win8 after that on a new second partition? Would this work (as in not making any harm to the drive itself), and get my system to dual boot both of them? View the thread

I can usually figure stuff out on my own, but this one has been driving me nuts for 2 hours now as it's just one of those things that "should" just work. I've got a Win 8 test machine here with our MSDN copy of Win 8 on it. I'm trying to "add new features" and get it upgraded to Win 8 Pro with our MSDN Win 8 Pro Key. The Win 8 Pro key is input and accepted and the upgrade takes off. Upon 1st reboot feature installation gets to around 90%, then fails. 2nd reboot it tries again and immediately fails, then reverts the system to Win 8 Basic. Error upon logging reads: "Failed Adding Windows Features. Previous version of windows restored. Contact support". I have scoured the net and try several solutions including: 1. Clean boot without optional apps and services: Same Results 2. Diagnostic boot: unable to verify key as needed services for wifi are disabled. (Guess I could enable them all, but was skeptical). 3. sfc /scannow. Complete with no errors found 4. Ran windows update troubleshooter: found 2 issues and resolved, but same results upon pro upgrade. 5. Applied all available updates: Same Results. 6. Event logs show no associated errors. I'd rather not spend 4 hours on the phone with MS for this issue, and would rather not have to reinstall our test machine. Any assistance would be appreciated. Thank you. View the full article

Usually in the past when I have had docs that will not open, a menu appears to ask which prog I want to use to open it. This does not happen in this case. My daughter is using a new laptop which obviously has much more up to date progs installed. I cannot even use a solution that has popped up when I was wxploring ways to solve the problem, because I don't appear to have the same menu's they are referring to. View this thread

When I drag a window to reposition it, the image starts swimming in a wave-like manner. I overcame this problem on a previous occasion, but no matter what I do, I can't make the image stable. This makes it difficult to position. I am using Windows XP, sp 3. Supplementary question: I can't seem to remove delay at the onset of notes from my M-Audio Keystation 88 es. I am using Delta Audiophile 2496 soundcard. I have tried to lower the latency settings in various places but without success. View this thread

Hello. I recently bought a Windows 8 Pro copy. I decided to use it because I used windows 8 pre-release and liked it. Now here is the problem. As on the pre-release version I didn't experience any crash when I installed W8 Pro I got first crash. I installed it again with. It turned on everything was fine until i reset it. It didn't start for a second time and I was forced to refresh the system and loose all my apps. After I launched fresh system it worked only for 1 day and then crashed again, now even without possibility to refresh it. As I'm trying to launch it everything I have is black screen and nothing more even if I'll wait longer than 20 minutes. I hope you'll be able to get help. Thanks from above. View the full article
