151.	Solve : Win 8 is doing odd things????
Answer» <html><body><p>greetings CH! <br/><br/>I have yet run into another issue that I've found puzzling. I decided to install windows 8 on my toshiba system and im happy! Computer runs great. However there are somethings that dont click. <br/><br/>First thing----> When i was installing drivers I installed Ati radeon HD 4250 mobile Driver and each time i boot up the machine i got a Runtime error stating this.. <br/><br/> Microsoft Visual C++ runtime Library<br/><br/>Run Time error!<br/><br/>Program C:\Windows\System32\atibtmon.exe <br/><br/>this application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in a <br/>unusual way. <br/>please contact the applications support team for more info. <br/><br/>After i got this i went ninite.com and downloaded the latest <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/java-1034" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about JAVA">JAVA</a> Runtime envirment and i still get that error. i even reinstalled the driver. <br/>im out of ideas at the moment. Am i missing Drivers? or some plugins? what would be causing this is mess up? <br/>My system specs are as follows:<br/><br/>Windows 8 Pro<br/>Toshiba satellite L645D PSK0QC-02007<br/>AMD Athlon 2.2ghz 1mb L2 Cache<br/>4Gb DDr3 <br/>500Gb 7200RPM seagate momentus Drive<br/>Ati radeon 4250 HD mobile Graphics <br/><br/>Forgot.. One more thing. <br/>I put the laptop to sleep by either clicking sleep or closing the lid, it will go to sleep and then wake up 5 seconds later.. whats going on?This will <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/occur-583012" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about OCCUR">OCCUR</a> if you got the vid driver from anywhere <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/else-printfy-344787" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about ELSE">ELSE</a> but Toshiba.Why does that happen? i got the driver directly from ATi cause the drivers that Toshiba usually offer are outdated and useless?? anything i can do to fix this issue? Because laptops are very finicky about drivers...and the Manuf. write them specifically for each unit...no matter who's components are involved.<br/>DLoad and install the drivers from the manuf. site then re-boot.

Thats what im confused about the most. I installed the same driver in 7 and it worked great!

152.	Solve : Windows8 forgotten password?
Answer» <html><body><p>I've been using XP for years but bought my mum a new vaio laptop with windows8. When we started up she had to enter a password that was so complicated she now cannot remember it. Consequently her xmas present is now a useless black plastic rectangle.<br/><br/>What are the options? I've googled a few things and it appears I can buy a $30 app to create a boot CD that will allow me to go through a complicated process. Could be a scam for $30 for all I know.<br/>The other alternative I considered is to reformat the laptop back to windows XP. There might be a 32/64 bit problem there? Thanks for any useful suggestions. BTW I probably don't want to convert it to Linux.<a href="http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/forgot-windows-password">http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/forgot-windows-password</a>If the info at the link posted by Allan does not solve the problem, contact Sony and ask whether running of the recovery partition can started without logging in to Windows. With a Compaq laptop that I bought in July 2007, hitting a key - as I recall, it was F11 - right after hitting the power button would launch the recovery procedure and allow the user to continue running the procedure and thereby restore the system to it's original configuration. <br/><br/>If this technique is not possible with the Sony VAIO, then ask Sony about getting a recovery disc on DVDs. They may charge a fee for this but it will be probably quite small in comparison to buying an OS at retail price. They will need to know the model # and serial # to get the correct disc, meaning the disc with device drivers for the specific model of computer. Following up:- I visited Mum yesterday <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/resulting-1187445" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about RESULTING">RESULTING</a> in the following further actions:- The vaio laptop has a button labeled "ASSIST" which is adjacent to the on/off button. Using the assist button puts you into a troubleshooting menu and in that menu you can do a "full reset". The full reset seems to be the same as a reformat. Unfortunately I had to leave before it was completed as it took around 8 hours.

I'll probably visit Mum again in 3 months but if possible I'll get my brother to pick it up for me before then and I'll work on it at home. I think in this case the "Assist" button replaces the usual process of entering the bios. I tried a few keys such as DEL, F8, F2, etc but it just booted normally. Warranty is something to consider but not usually my first choice.No offense intended, but all you have to do is write down the password when you create it. Blaming Windows (or any software) for requiring a strong password is merely shifting the blame. But okay, moving on. Hopefully the problem is now solved. Quote from: dude1234 on April 01, 2013, 09:11:29 PM<blockquote>Allan, It would be misleading to lay all responsibility with the user (in this case, my mother).

It's simply untrue; Windows DOES NOT force users to use such complex passwords. It does not require use of "non standard characters". And, a password such as sf6hy7V is not too short; that password is one character longer than the password I'm using with Windows 8. <br/><br/>Actually, Windows makes the password process easy when going through the initial setup of Windows on a new computer. I just went through this twice about <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/2-236987" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about 2">2</a> months ago. The user is asked to enter the enter the password and is also asked to create a reminder question. In my case, I used the name of the first family pet I remember from childhood as my password and the reminder was "name of 1st pet". It can't get much simpler than that. I've never seen those type of requests when setting a Windows password either. Quote from: patio on April 02, 2013, 09:05:45 AM<blockquote>I've never seen those type of requests when setting a Windows password either.<br/></blockquote> Agree 100% with the above two posts.Yes, of <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/course-246352" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about COURSE">COURSE</a>, Allan and Patio are correct, none of this actually happened!

Dear old girl, she's doing a spot of cobol programming.I don't understand your response...<br/>All i stated is i have never seen that procedure setting a Windows password...period.<br/></body></html>

If so, move it to start after the hard drive or disable it. The "media check failure" or "media test failure, check cable" message is often caused by network boot trying to start when there is no network (ethernet) cable plugged in.<br/><br/> Quote<blockquote>I have contacted Dell and their solution is to re-install Win 8 which I'm not quite ready to do yet since I don't think it would solve this.

In the UEFI boot the first items displayed are:<br/> UEFI Onboard LAN IPv4<br/> UEFI Onboard LAN IPv6<br/> Windows Boot Manager<br/>and it seems that the first 2 items need a network connection which isn't yet available thus the "error" messages.<br/><br/>In the settings I had to change the boot mode to "legacy secure boot off" instead of UEFI boot mode. After restarting I went into the setup where I found the following order:<br/> Network<br/> Hard Drive<br/> CD/DVD/CD-RW Drive<br/><br/>I changed the order to put Network last (couldn't disable it as Dell suggested); after rebooting once more I went back into the settings and change the boot option back to "UEFI secure boot on" and that solved the problem.<br/><br/>Below are the instructions that Dell sent me if that helps.

Here's the thing; I didn't destroy any restore points. I purchased the PC on Dec.14/12,set it up Dec.15 and stated loading on Dec.16. Dec.16 is the day that the file was downloaded and failed. A restore point was not made on that day. Another thing; I found the failed download when snooping through the PC in "View Update History". Had I not gone there I would not have known that it failed.<br/>Also now when I go to "View Update History" I'm told that I have not installed any updates and the page is blank. The only way that I can find whether an update has failed is to go to "Installed Updates" and find the files that do not have the option to "Uninstall". Beside the failed file that I previously mentioned there are also 5 other files that I'm unable to uninstall. These files were installed before the date that I purchased the PC.<br/><br/>1)Microsoft Office - installed 09/01/2013<br/>(2,3,4 and 5) Microsoft Windows - installed 11/10/2012<br/><br/>The way that I see this, the big problem is not so much Restore Points as it is the inability to remove and reinstall failed updates.

The installation seemed to go fine, but then I got the message "installation was unsuccessful, restoring your previous version". (Which it did). No explanation about the failed install. How do I get past this? Must I start the download all over again, or can I just redo the install process? I have already paid for the download and don't feel like paying again! Did you run the Windows 8 Upgrade Assistant first? Run that first; it will give a list of software that needs to be uninstalled before upgrading, software you will have to reinstall, and any other things that are known to <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/cause-910965" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about CAUSE">CAUSE</a> problems.

I have now been able to install. I think the problem is that during the download, the Assistant gave a message "Feel free to use your PC".

You have in fact described the process for checking for this. If you shine a strong lamp or a flashlight on the screen and you can see the desktop then I would very strongly suspect this.

Especially if you lack the skill to replace it yourself and would need to take it to a repair shop. You must do some research.<br/><br/><br/>You should be aware that the problem may not be the actual lamp but possibly associated electronic circuitry, and without proper test equipment and expertise you could easily <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/buy-391430" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about BUY">BUY</a> the wrong things and waste money that could be put towards a new monitor or a working used one.

179.	Solve : device connected select program menu on system startup?
Answer» <html><body><p>I am running Windows 8 Professional and using an Intel CS630-XP Webcam that I made Compatible with XP in Windows 8 as I did previously in Windows 7.<br/><br/>I have been trying 2 different OCR Programs, Abby Fine Reader and Omnipage. Initially every time my Computer started since Installing them it showed 2 Menu Pop Ups ( while the PC is still loading) that show Device Connected for my Intel CS630 Webcam Storage with a Choice to <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/select-630282" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about SELECT">SELECT</a> a Program to use for it, showing Abby Fine Reader or Omnipage as the<br/>Choices. Why I get 2 Menu Screens, I have no idea. I don't wish to use either so I click Cancel on each Menu each time. There is no choice in the Menu to choose None or dismiss them so that they don't come back again on the Next Start up.<br/><br/>In an effort to find out what is triggering the 2 Menus on Start up in order to stop them from occurring, I have checked all My Start Up and Start Menu Folders and have been unable to find any reference to them.<br/><br/>I have checked both the Abby Fine Reader and Omnipage Programs for an Option to stop the Menu's on start up, no luck.<br/><br/>I have run Tuneup Utilities,<a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/taskmanager" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about TASKMANAGER">TASKMANAGER</a> Start up, Win Patrol, CCleaner Normal Mode and on Start up, Hijack this Normal Mode and on Start up,Process Explorer, I have searched with JV16 for Registry Entries by <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/name-237998" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about NAME">NAME</a> and checked all Logs including my Spyshelter Log. No Luck.<br/><br/>I have checked in Services and Group Policies besides checking out many Start up Programs Websites. I haven't still have been unable to find what is triggering the Select Program Menu for my Intel CS630 Webcam as yet to stop them from starting up with my PC.<br/><br/>I did rename, then delete the icm10blk.sys Image Storage Driver in Windows/System 32/drivers which removed the 2 entries (Abby Fine Reader and Omnipage) that were there to select from but the Menu still comes back, although empty now, each time on start up. I think its a registry entry but which one ? or its built into the .exe or .sys file. I ran Resource Hacker on CS630-XP.exe but it showed nothing relevant.<br/><br/>I have never had a problem with Start ups that I couldn't solve before but this one is giving me fits.<br/><br/>Does anyone know how I can stop those Select Program Menu's from occurring on Start up, or a way that I can add Select none to the Menu's to choose which may stop them ?<br/><br/>I hope someone can figure it out. They have a trigger but where is it, and how do I stop it ?<br/><br/>Wayne <br/><br/>[recovering disk space, attachment deleted by admin]I hid all Microsoft Services in <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/msconfig" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about MSCONFIG">MSCONFIG</a> unchecked the top half of other services rebooted, same thing. I unchecked the bottom half and rebooted , same thing.<br/><br/>It is whatever triggers a menu to select a program for my Intel CS630 webcam that is the problem. After renaming icm10blk.sys the entries to select are gone but I am still getting the context menu popups on startup, Sometimes 1, often 2 of them and occasionally now 3 of them. Now it says no device description at the top of the menus instead of CS630 Image Storage, so its whatever triggers those "device connected" menus that I need to stop on startup.<br/><br/>Wayne Download and run Mike Lin's Startup <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/control-425557" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about CONTROL">CONTROL</a> Panel (<a href="http://www.mlin.net/StartupCPL.shtml">http://www.mlin.net/StartupCPL.shtml</a>). Since it is likely a startup program as opposed to a service that is calling for the webcam, you'll find this little app much easier to deal with. You'll probably be able to identify the process by name, but if not it's simple enough to disable and re-enable individual or multiple startup items simply by unchecking / checking them.that program gave me a $INFTool.Tmp not found error. I am running Windows 8. I had to make it compatible with Windows XP Service pack 3 and run as Administrator to make it work. It only showed me my normal startups nothing related to my Intel CS630 Webcam. Did you read what I posted about all the startup programs I have tried already ? I also ran Autoruns program awhile ago. <br/><br/>Here is my Autoruns text relating to Intel below.<br/><br/>Note <br/><br/>I previously did rename, then delete the icm10blk.sys Image Storage Driver in Windows/System 32/drivers which removed the 2 entries (Abby Fine Reader and Omnipage) that were there to select from the startup device connected Menus<br/> <br/>I renamed the iaStorV.sys in system32/drivers and am still getting the same thing happening which is why it is not found in the Autoruns text below.<br/><br/>X "iaStorV" "" "" "File not found: D:\Windows\System32\Drivers\iaStorV.sys" ""<br/>+ "ICM10USB" "Intel(r) PC Camera CS630 Driver" "Intel Corporation" "d:\windows\system32\drivers\icm10usb.sys" "2001-10-05 7:00 PM"<br/>+ "AVI Maker" "Intel Digital Video Camera AVI Maker" "Intel Corporation" "d:\windows\system32\icm10avi.ax" "2001-10-05 6:57 PM"<br/><br/>Those are all the entries related to Intel other than the Intel raid driver which should not affect it.<br/><br/>I got rid of the selection entries as you can see by the attachments attached, now I still need to get rid of the menus that startup on start by finding whatever triggers those menus when a device is connected re: my Intel CS630. My experience with computers tells me that as they do not show up In any of the many startup programs I have tried what ever triggers those menus is either hidden from them, built into an exe or sys file or a registry entry.<br/><br/><br/><br/>[recovering disk space, attachment deleted by admin]Why not uninstall both apps ? ?<br/>They either don't like Win8 or need to be re-installed.I need the apps they aren't the problem.

Quote from: stefun999 on January 28, 2013, 06:10:35 PM<blockquote>And just now my friend tells me that UEFI won't allow me to install Windows 7.<br/></blockquote> He is misinformed.<br/><br/>The problem could be that you are using a Windows 7 Upgrade Disk. Which is- as it's name suggests- for <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/upgrading-1440178" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about UPGRADING">UPGRADING</a> to Windows 7. Jokes at Windows 8's expense aside, you can't upgrade from Windows 8 to Windows 7. Windows 7 can only be upgraded from Windows Vista. <br/><br/>The only way to install Windows 7 with that disk would be to First Install Windows Vista. Or, get a Win7 Retail Disc rather than the Upgrade disk. I'm not really sure how you got as far in the process as you did- perhaps there is something about the Win7 Upgrade process that I don't understand myself.<br/><br/>Ideally, when installing an older OS than one currently installed, You should be completely wiping the disk of all partitions that are present, rather than trying to install Windows 7 over top of Windows 8. Another thing to change is the BIOS setting. You can turn off UEFI and use the older EFI interface on every system I've seen- (I <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/believe-395244" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about BELIEVE">BELIEVE</a> that providing the option to not use UEFI is part of the UEFI specification).

Clearly certain questions are almost obvious in nature but I was thinking about the time spent looking for " like " questions vs just posting them. I imagine that the regulares here who have seen it all can identify one of those " already asked umteen times types of question and perhaps they can just ignore the question and allow someone else who isn't upset or concerned with the repeat question to simply answer it.<br/><br/>It's been months if not years since I signed in here and it is not because I've figured everything out on my own or that I found a better place to ask my questions and read what is on others minds. As my doctor said not so long ago " this age change doesn't seem to suit you very well " and what he meant was that I surely have a lot more complaints than I had during my last decade. That said, I look around and it seems to me that the world is changing quickly and there are way more people complaining about this or that tha there was prior to the millennium change.I'm sure that can be discussed elsewhere. I've just gotten infected with the new world and the politics of politics.<br/><br/>I really like(d) this group and a few members used to message me from time to time to say hello or to ask a question specific to things that I have posted. Now I wonder if those member are still here or moved on in one way or another?<br/><br/>I posted this in the Win 8 category because I got this great deal on a Win 8 laptop before I knew about all of the complaints that lead to MS offering the upgrade to Win 10 for free. I did that and now I wish that I let WIN 8 exist as it was and took the opportunity to learn from it.<br/><br/>It seems that there is no going back to WIN 8 without purchasing or finding an older computer that still exists with WIN 8.
