255.	Solve : Lexmark printer issue in Win8?
Answer» <html><body><p>having moved to Win8 and using an old Lexmark <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/inkjet-516165" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about INKJET">INKJET</a> X4550 <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/printer-771184" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about PRINTER">PRINTER</a>, the print progress popup window fails to appear. printer works fine otherwise any ideas?<a href="http://www.justanswer.com/printers/7rear-just-moved-win8-loaded-lexmark-x4550-inkjet-ok-when.html">http://www.justanswer.com/printers/7rear-just-moved-win8-loaded-lexmark-x4550-inkjet-ok-when.html</a><br/><br/>As with other older printers, scanners, sound cards, etc, your lucky if the mfr actually makes a newer driver to be able to print at all, and if there is a feature that is broken under new OS, that once worked under older OS, the mfr likely does not invest the time and money into making it functional.<br/><br/>For example my <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/realtek" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about REALTEK">REALTEK</a> Audio chip in my (2008 model) Biostar MCP6PB M2+ motherboard came with a driver with a nice pop up that would appear when plugging in devices into the audio jacks. It gave you options to specify if you want it to be configured as a headset or sound system as well as it would detect a microphone and give options for that. This was back when I was running Windows XP Pro.<br/><br/>I made the upgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium and thought all was well since the sound was working, but this pop up feature that use to give options was now gone. BUT the biggest problem was that when i went to use my microphone for online gaming with groups of friends my MIC was not working. <br/><br/>In the end I found out that Realtek updated the audio driver, but this chipset with the most up to date audio driver for Windows 7, the sound worked, but the MIC was non-functional. My solution to this was to have to buy a USB audio adapter for $<a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/10-236933" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about 10">10</a> and that allowed me to get my MIC back so I could communicate with others.<br/><br/>The motherboard manufacturer ended its support for drivers at Windows XP, but digging into the chipmakers I was able to find a Windows 7 driver, but they failed to test this driver with microphone, probably because the driver update <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/project-25521" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about PROJECT">PROJECT</a> was handed off to the cheapest bidder in a 3rd world country.<br/><br/>Looking on google, I dont see a solution to bringing this pop up back for your printer. many thanks for responding, I suspected as much. I suppose I'm lucky everything else works with printer. sad, it was a very useful indicator of print progress and inkjet cartridge condition.New printers that just print are now very cheap.<br/>But you knew that. <br/>Lexmark still offers some support.<br/><a href="http://support.lexmark.com/">http://support.lexmark.com/</a></p></body></html>

263.	Solve : How to keep from being forced to update to 8.1??

264.	Solve : A strikingly random but apprently related group of issues on my Windows Laptop?
Answer» <html><body><p>As a backstory, I recently bought this laptop new from HP, and for quite awhile, all was well and things worked fine...but some time during the end of August, things started to go a little haywire. A group of problems that seemed entirely unrelated from each other all popped up at once. These include:<br/>Starting Google Chrome will create an instance of chrome.exe, but it will take nearly 10 minutes for the actual browser to appear. Firefox works fine.<br/>Right clicking on files/folders in the File Explorer will cause Explorer.exe to hang (with a nice blue turning circle) with the only remedy being to restart explorer.<br/>After entering my password to unlock my computer after putting it to sleep, the computer will sit at the "Welcome" screen seemingly forever. As in, won't ever go to the Desktop. Closing the laptop lid and reopening either doesn't fix anything or leads to an occurrence of the below issue.<br/>Seemingly randomly, I will try and wake up the laptop after it has gone to sleep and it will not wake up. As in, I have clicked every button on the keyboard, clicked every button on my mouse and touchpad, opened and closed the laptop, and the screen remains stubbornly black. The fan will make noise and the Caps Lock button will light up along with the backlit keyboard, but there is otherwise no response. Clicking the Airplane Mode hotkey will occasionally but rarely wake up the computer. The only solution is to force the computer to shutdown using the Power button and restart.<br/><br/>My friend and I were able to temporarily fix all of the problems at once by reinstalling Google Chrome and cleaning out the registry. However, all the above problems have come back along with a mysterious appearance inetpub directory at the root drive which I understand to be a component of IIS. However, IIS is turned off in the Programs and Features window...funnily enough, even though this folder is quite new, it has a creation date of April-2014-something...which is before this computer was even ASSEMBLED.<br/><br/>I am a computer science major, and have quite a bit of experience with computers and troubleshooting, but I have NEVER seen a group of problems quite like this before.<br/><br/>Any help would be greatly <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/appreciated-2438458" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about APPRECIATED">APPRECIATED</a>; laptop specs below:<br/>HP 17t Envy Laptop <br/>Intel i7-4510U<br/>Nvidia GeForce GTX 850M<br/>1 TB Hybrid Hard Drive<br/>16 GB RAM<br/>Beats Audio<br/>Fingerprint SensorYou may wish to look in the event log.I have done so, and noted a startling number of errors generated by "Bonjour Service" so I believe my next step will be to uninstall that. However, I am not convinced that it is the issue..I was wondering whether anyone had any better ideas.<br/><br/>The question was raised on the Google Support forums that one should make sure chrome is not blocked in Windows Firewall. However, clicking on Firewall in the Control Panel causes Control Panel to freeze...Bonjour' is an apple service addon and it likely is the cause of the issues...even if it seems they are deeper issues...<br/>It's a pain to remove...but make sure you get it all and give us an update after...I did remove it and after a restart, the problems seem to have at <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/least-1070759" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about LEAST">LEAST</a> temporarily gone away. We'll see if it stays that way and I'll give an update a week or so from now if it worked, sooner if it doesn't Fair enuff...Welcome Aboard !Aaaaaand it's back again...still not sure what's causing it but once again, Chrome takes 10 minutes to start up and once again, Control Panel hangs when I click on Windows Firewall, and once again, Windows explorer is hanging on right click. I'm not sure what's going wrong with it, but clearly, Bonjour service was not the culprit...any ideas?It could be related to an Explorer Shell Extension. You can use <a href="https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/shexview.html">ShellExView</a> to examine the Extensions installed. The best advice would be to simply uncheck any from third-party programs.<br/><br/>It may also be worth mentioning that programs like iTunes actually setup a <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/scheduled-637595" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about SCHEDULED">SCHEDULED</a> task which will reinstall the service you removed if it is not found, and iTunes will install the service itself if it is disabled or deleted, So you might want to double-check that it is still disabled/uninstalled.SOOOOOOO, BC_Programmer, after reading your post and realizing how great an idea it was, I went to ShellExView and checked out all the shell extensions installed. Most of them were from Microsoft or Avast, BUT I noticed that for some reason, HP (which had installed 7-zip be default) had for whatever crackpot reason, installed 9.22 BETA on my machine!! I immediately switched it out for 9.20, and am about to reboot. We'll see if that fixes the problem and I'll check back in in a week to update the final verdict!!There were no Bonjour' or apple shell item remnants ? ?<br/>What <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/method-239379" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about METHOD">METHOD</a> did you use to remove it ? ?...cause it will re-spawn.Not that I discovered; I removed it straight through the Uninstaller in the control panel.<a href="https://www.raymond.cc/blog/how-to-uninstall-or-remove-bonjour-mdnsresponderexe/"><strong>See Here...</strong></a>Okay...I did follow the first piece of advice which is just to remove it via Control Panel. mDnsResponder is not running either. It's also not generating any errors in the event log anymore.I'd still follow that removal procedure...Okaaaaaaay....and after months of it coming on and off, the problems have returned, and this time, there are no simple errors in the event log to pin the blame on. Just mountains and mountains of info and the occasional warnings/errors that shouldn't be causing an issue. There are no processes or services running that look very suspicious and nothing installed that shouldn't be. Just stuff not working the way it's supposed to. A couple other issues I've hit that I think are related:<br/><br/>Fifa 15 will start, but will not appear on the screen or taskbar until I start the Windows Task Manager.<br/>Attempting to restart will leave the computer hung at "Restarting..." forever until I use the big bad power button<br/>The Windows Update service will not start: "The service did not respond to the request to start/control in a timely fashion."<br/><br/>This is getting really out of hand. I will be running a boot time scan with avast tonight to see if it picks up anything but I have my doubts. I have no indication that the problem is anything malicious. Just something is conflicting with something else or something stupid like that. It's something that <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/fades-982950" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about FADES">FADES</a> in and out because restarting can fix it for awhile.<br/><br/>I have (in a demonstration of faith) attached lists of all of the Processes, Services, and Network connections present on my computer. Maybe something will ring a bell for someone.<br/><br/>Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. I'm getting a little desperate, and to be honest, a little humbled. I've always considered myself a very proficient computer user and a hacker and yet this seemingly simple issue has entirely stumped me.<br/><br/>Absolutely dumbfounded....<br/><br/>[attachment deleted by admin to conserve space]</p></body></html>

Answer» <html><body><p>Hello! <br/><br/>I found this awesome free alarm clock app in the Windows 8 store, that I have started to use as my actual alarm clock to wake up in the morning.

276.	Solve : Need guidance on rebuilding libraries folders on new machine.?
Answer» <html><body><p>I hope that I can explain this properly. I recently built a new desktop and installed Windows 8. I then used Windows Easy Transfer to try and bring my documents and so forth over the the new machine. I have an SSD that I intend to use mostly for my operating system and an HDD which I hope to keep most of my other files and programs on. <br/><br/>To accomplish this I tried to change the location of my user folders (documents, pictures etc to the new drive. It's labelled E: <br/><br/>However, what happened, either by my action or by the transfer process is that all of the files are on the E: drive but not in folders. They are all in one very long list directly under E: The folders do exist, but any one that I open yields the same long list. So if I click on "Documents" or on "Pictures" I get the same long list of everything.<br/><br/>I've been scouring the internet looking for some direction on this, but I've found nothing. I'm sure that I could eventually <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/manuallybrbr-2814100" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about MANUALLY">MANUALLY</a> sort all of this out, but I want it to be right since I'm hopefully going to be using this system for a long time. <br/><br/>BTW - I don't have folders labelled "My Documents" or "My Pictures" etc. just plain "Documents" or "Pictures"<br/><br/>Also I tried to attach a screen shot, but it seems to be linked back to my directory. Blame that on Win 8 also I guess. <br/><br/>[recovering disk space, attachment deleted by admin]I think you have to chart over again.<br/>Somehow you told the program to put nit on on E:\ instead of letting the program distribute the files into their receptive locations.<br/><br/>In both Windows 7 and Windows 8 there are ways to organize files and folders without specific drive letters. With the huge space Windows can now manage, on huge HDDs, the reasons for having drive partitions are fewer. Earlier it was to help with the problems related to cluster size and related issues. <br/>There are a number of articles on "how to use MS file transfer wizard in Windows 8<br/><a href="https://support.microsoft.com/kb/2735227">http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2735227</a><br/><br/>An earlier <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/item-770211" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about ITEM">ITEM</a> is for Windows XP, which not altogether the same.<br/><a href="https://support.microsoft.com/kb/306186">http://support.microsoft.com/kb/306186</a><br/><br/>Some users will find this article better.<br/><a href="http://www.petri.co.il/windows-easy-transfer-to-migrate-windows-8-pc.htm">http://www.petri.co.il/windows-easy-transfer-to-migrate-windows-8-pc.htm</a><br/>(Skip the advertisements, it you like.)<br/><br/>I believe starting over is better that trying to sort it out by manual labor. Some new features of Windows 8 make file transfer easier than before.<br/>Are you saying that I should do a clean install. This is what I've been dreading. I just tried a system restore back to the original installation point but that accomplished nothing <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/helpful-479747" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about HELPFUL">HELPFUL</a> so I undid that. I'll have to <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/seriously-2256064" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about SERIOUSLY">SERIOUSLY</a> think about it, before I go that route. I do seem to have all of my files they are just not organized and do not seem organizable.<br/><br/>Here is what I think that I did to get into this mess: I took each of the library files (documents, pictures, music etc.) and opened "properties" and then changed the location.<br/><br/>However, it seems that I just changed the location to E: and did not keep the path. That is I went from C:users/me/documents to just E: with no path. That is what I think that I did and it seems to simple but I cannot figure out how to reverse it without making it worse. I did this after a very long session of hooking up this machine for the first time and installing Win 8 then trying to set it up. If you open Windows Explorer and right clik a library there is a Restore Option...<br/>Try that and let us know what happens.Oh yes - I've tried that several times - nothing changes nor improves. Notice from the screen shot in "Libraries" that under each category where there should be a folder labelled "My Documents" or My Pictures" etc. there is instead the same item namely- Data (E:) If I open any of those folders I will get the same thing which is a list of all the files, pictures, docs and whatnot all in one list.<br/><br/>So to summarize, I have all of my files and they are on my second hard drive E: and that is where I want them to be, but I do not have the proper library structure and thus cannot properly sort and organize these items. I need some kind of library repair advice. <br/><br/>LOL -- I keep thinking that if I could properly define the problem, I would be on the way to solving it, but it's hard to explain.Restore Default Libraries doesn't work?<br/><br/>You could create New Libraries with the proper locations.I was also curious as to why Restore didn't work as well..I'm not sure why the restore function didn't solve the problem, but then I'm still not exactly sure what the problem is. Now I'm thinking that it isn't the library per se. <br/><br/>Instead it is either a "path" problem or a "user" problem. It appears to me that the only folders that let you change location (through Properties) are the "My Documents, My Pictures series of folders. It also seems that this action is irreversible.<br/><br/>Check out the weird screen shot attached which is of my user file folder from the desktop. <br/><br/>Where the "My xxxx" should be is the second disk icon. (E:) I tried to reverse this but I can't because it would be turning a parent into a child.<br/><br/>I may be onto a solution. I just tried creating a new user profile and that profile has the correct library structure, but of course there is nothing in it. I might be able to somehow rebuild the new profile to the way I want it and then delete the old profile. I would still rather correct the problem in the original profile because I have everything else set up to my satisfaction. Unfortunately, I have to wait a couple of days because I need to work on other things.<br/><br/><br/><br/>[recovering disk space, attachment deleted by admin]Convoluted i'll say...<br/>Do me a favor when you get a chance...post a pic of how all this shows up in Disk Management. Attached ..................... <br/><br/>[recovering disk space, attachment deleted by admin]Oh, I see, you added E:\ to each library.<br/><br/>You should be able to remove it by right-clicking each Library (such as Pictures, Documents, etc) choose Properties, and you should be able to remove the appropriate entries.I appreciate all of the replies, but so far none of these suggestions has really been helpful for my particular problem. As it stands there longer is a folder titled "My Documents" or My Pictures" anywhere on my system (as far as I can tell). <br/><br/>In the Library there are folders labelled "Documents" and Pictures" and there are "Public Documents" etc. , but these are located on the C: drive and the location cannot be changed.<br/><br/>Just to restate what happened: When I first loaded Win 8 on my system, I went to the properties for each of these files (My Documents etc.) and I clicked on Location. What I should have done next was to change the location from C:\users\nnnn\My Documents to be E:\users\nnn\My Documents. <br/><br/>However, what I did instead was to simply change the location to E:. I failed to leave the path in the change. The result of this <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/error-25548" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about ERROR">ERROR</a> is that these folders have totally disappeared. <br/><br/>This leaves me with no way to make the default save location be on my second hard drive and of course no way to organize my files correctly. They are all on the directly on the drive under E:\ <br/><br/>It seems like such a simple error but there is not an obvious way to reverse. At least I haven't found it yet.<br/><br/>I should add that I have tried to create a folder labelled "My Documents" but I get a message saying the folder already exists. If I do a search for it, nothing comes up.Problem Solved - I don't see a way to tag this topic, but I have solved this issue.<br/><br/>Should anyone ever stumble across this same problem. I made a new user account and then deleted the old one. Then I changed the file locations the proper way. Next I deleted all of the files that had come from my old machine and and ran Easy Transfer again. A bit of a hassle but things are how they should be.<br/><br/>This caused a few other problems, but now my files are where I want them and are well organized, just like they were on my old machine.<br/><br/>Apparently - I could have accomplished part of this by fiddling with the registry, but that's a bit dicey. I tried and it didn't totally work for me.</p></body></html>

So if you mute system sounds, you would still get say notification sounds from outlook or thunderbird, even though the mail message event sound is in the system sound control panel.<br/></blockquote><br/>It doesn't appear to be one of Skype's sounds. That leaves Firefox and Steam. Any idea where to find firefox's sounds?</body></html>

It is the manufacturers that have given you Office/Wordperfect or other Applications. A good portion of prepackaged software included a full version of some Office Suite, but the decision to include it (and what to include) is more a cost analysis by manufacturers.<br/><br/>Also, one might think: "Ahh. well, Microsoft should include Office with Windows". That sort of falls apart when you consider what happened when they included Internet Explorer into Windows.<br/><br/>All that said, very few people actually use Word in such a way that makes what they need to do incompatible with Wordpad. <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/basically-389413" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about BASICALLY">BASICALLY</a>, for most people, Microsoft Word is overkill for their document processing needs, but Word has somehow become synonymous with "Word processor" so people are under the impression that they <em>do</em> need Microsoft Word.<br/><br/>And even if you do need a feature in MS Word that isn't available in WordPad, Usually that feature is in something like OpenOffice/LibreOffice, which is free. I think Wordpad and Open/Libre Office can even open and save standard Word documents, too.<br/><br/>Quote<blockquote>There was always a "product key" to activate windows software.</blockquote>Yep, that would have been provided by the manufacturer. Usually Manufacturers (Dell, HP, etc) purchase hardware in bulk (for a bulk discount), build the machines, buy OS and full software licenses (eg Windows and Office, things like CD Burners, etc) in bulk, and then try to make that back by offering trials; for example, Things such as "Norton AV" aren't added by manufacturers to help consumers, but more because Norton pays them to do it. The purpose being that Norton will make more back in the resulting sales than they paid the manufacturer, and the manufacturer, in turn, saves a bit of cost and can pass that saved cost on to the consumer in the form of a lower price, making their PC more competitive. It's a big industry and it's a huge balancing act for them to create a PC that looks and works well but uses the cheapest possible components and the most installed crapware to offset the cost. I guess in this case Lenovo couldn't justify giving a full Home version of Office for some reason. Which actually makes no sense since Thinkpads are usually associated with "businessey" tasks.<br/><br/>Quote<blockquote>I've already called Lenovo and let them know what I think of this scam so today I will go to best buy and let them know as well. In the meantime, I will try the alternatives.</blockquote>Well in fairness, if anybody lied to you it was the salesman. Usually if something is a trial it will quite clearly state as much, but Salesman are a bit more apt- thanks to commissions- to leave out such "minor details". On the bright side, this gives you a chance to give some good free software a go, and you may be pleasantly surprised.<br/>Well as might be expected, the salesman is no longer working there but the supervisor was helpful in explaining what's happened in the computer world since my 6 year nap. I will look for wordpad and see if it fits my needs. IDO have access to excel but thats by using my companies access information. <br/><br/>I'm thinking bud light tonight to ease the pain.<br/><br/>Thanks to everyone for the help, insight and tougue in cheek humor.......DLoad and install Libre' Office and you will never moan about MS Office again...<br/>I think we mentioned it's Free...Quote from: patio on June 01, 2013, 01:23:27 PM<blockquote>DLoad and install Libre' Office and you will never moan about MS Office again...<br/>I think we mentioned it's Free...<br/></blockquote> Libre' Office is in list posted in reply #2<br/>I haven used Livre Office in Windows 7 64 bit and it behaves well, , albeit a 32 bit application.Ms office is not a problem ther are many many free alterinavtes such as open office or leibra office Quote from: blackrainbow on June 16, 2013, 08:37:11 AM<blockquote>Ms office is not a problem ther are many many free alterinavtes such as open office or leibra office<br/></blockquote>Yep, that's already been clearly stated.</body></html>

287.	Solve : shortcomings in Forbes article on Windows 8?
Answer» <html><body><p>This is not a question, just a comment. I just read an article critiquing Windows 8 and I noticed flaws in it. The article is at <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/tonybradley/2013/05/22/five-ways-microsoft-can-fix-windows-8/">http://www.forbes.com/sites/tonybradley/2013/05/22/five-ways-microsoft-can-fix-windows-8/</a><br/><br/>The paragraphs in it are numbered. I found par. #2 to be partially erroneous. Aero Snap does work in Windows 8 IF you are working with programs on the desktop, not Windows 8 apps that appear on the Start screen. For example, a browser window and a Word window can be assigned exactly half of the desktop by using Snap. The 75/25 split mentioned in the article applies when displaying a Desktop program and a Win 8 app on the screen at the same time. And, I agree that the user should be able to <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/control-425557" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about CONTROL">CONTROL</a> the proportions of that screen split. <br/><br/>I thought paragraph #4 was also a bit deficient by not mentioning that Control Panel can be opened by moving the mouse pointer all the way to the lower left corner of the screen and right clicking and selecting Control Panel from the right-click menu. This sort of summarizes one of the reasons I tend to avoid "tech journalism", personally.

294.	Solve : Start Menu?
Answer» <html><body><p>And M$ said people don't use the Start Menu from previous versions of Windows enough to justify keeping it in Windows 8. Even 8.1's faux start menu is ludicrous.<br/><br/>Here is just one example of how fast and easy it is to use the Start Menu in Windows 7. I have suggested in Window Blogs that Microsoft create a Windows 7.5 edition for PC's only (non-touch screens).<br/><br/><a href="https://youtu.be/F2GTFmHp9E8">Windows Start Menu</a>That doesn't particularly demonstrate the Start menu's capabilities, nor how fast and easy it may be to use.<br/>I would ask you to kindly tone down the anti-Windows 8 agenda you have going on here. I understand it's your opinion, and you're certainly entitled to that, but in all honesty it's getting a little tiresome when almost everything you post is something to do with Windows 8 or the Start menu.Quote from: SuperTweaker on July 20, 2013, 08:14:23 AM</p><blockquote>Here is just one example of how fast and easy it is to use the Start Menu in Windows 7. <br/></blockquote><br/>Doesn't seem very related to the Start Menu at all. However, on that, it is RIFE with absolute nonsense and unsubstantiated, cargo-cult 'optimizations' of dubious value as well as some pandering of useless software applications.<br/><br/>-Present the "tip" to make Avast "Faster and more Efficient" by enabling Silent/Gaming Mode, which is not the case, since all this does is disable Avast Popups. Less annoying certainly, but not faster or more efficient.<br/>Then.... installs Glary Utilities.<br/>Uh, yeah, I'll pass on installing pointless crap masquerading as tune-up software, thanks. I'll cover this later By copy pasting some of the discoveries I made in a blog post I tried to write about various "cleaner" utilities.<br/><br/>"For part 8 we're going to disable the Windows Search Indexing Service"<br/><br/>My favourite part is that during the process of disabling this, he actually uses it. (The Start Menu Search uses the the Search Indexing service; if it is disabled then the "Search" won't find anything added after the Indexing service was disabled.). Bravo. Nothing like lobotomizing the most powerful feature of an OS for the unsubstantiatable rumour that it "might improve performance". Doesn't matter if your Word Processor starts 10 ms faster if it takes you three seconds to start it using the All Programs Menu.<br/><br/>Then he disables UAC Well, not really. He sorta does. Doesn't mention why. Doesn't say how this helps performance (Spoiler: it doesn't)<br/><br/>Then he uses the "Adjust for Best Performance" checkbox in the Advanced Visual Settings dialog.<br/><br/>This also, despite it's name, doesn't actually improve performance at all. (XP was around the last time it might improve performance, for older Graphics Cards. My ATI Rage Pro AGP card for example benefited noticably from disabling the Alpha Blended Selection box option, because it's driver/hardware didn't support accelerated Alpha blending so it had to be done in software). Nowadays few of the capabilities shown have a negative effect on performance, and of those that do I doubt there is a measurable one, and of those that there is a measurable one, it's probably not perceptible.<br/><br/>The Virtual Memory one is where he steps into cargo-cult rumour pandering. Why correct the rumour mill when you can use it to grind your flour, I suppose:<br/><br/>"If you have 4GB of Memory or more, Select no Paging File. If you do not, select Custom Size and for the Initial and Maximum size enter the value listed below for "recommended"."<br/><br/>This is not much of a performance tweak. If the paging file is disabled the Heap Manager is basically lobotomized and certain memory operations simply cannot be performed properly. It also lobotomizes your Commit Charge Limit, which can prevent you from running more than 3 applications that perform large Virtual Allocations at startup. (This is because with no Page file there is no "Virtual" memory and any <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/allocation-373131" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about ALLOCATION">ALLOCATION</a> is a direct allocation to physical RAM). I think <a href="http://blogs.technet.com/b/markrussinovich/archive/2008/11/17/3155406.aspx">Mark Russinovich</a>, who knows more than pretty much anybody else in the world about Windows Internals, put it best:<br/><br/>Quote<blockquote>Some feel having no paging file results in better performance, but in general, having a paging file means Windows can write pages on the modified list (which represent pages that aren’t being accessed actively but have not been saved to disk) out to the paging file, thus making that memory available for more useful purposes (processes or file cache). So while there may be some workloads that perform better with no paging file, in general having one will mean more usable memory being available to the system (never mind that Windows won’t be able to write kernel crash dumps without a paging file sized large enough to hold them).</blockquote><br/>The "Some workloads" would only be for very special purpose servers that don't need things like Standby memory, or which would work best with no swapping ever. This is limited to only a few very specific Server configurations such as AD Servers. But most Servers of that nature are run on the same system as other services such as databases so the cases are few and far between.<br/><br/>The notation about using the recommended size also seems to ignore that the recommended size listed is simply 1.5 times the usable memory. Windows doesn't perform any sort of sophisticated check on what applications you run frequently and their memory profiles to come up with the recommended value. It's basically just a value that somebody at MS pulled out of thin air, which Mark himself pretty much says in the linked post. It also puts a set limit on your Commit Charge at which <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/point-239421" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about POINT">POINT</a> allocations will fail. The only advantage I <em>could</em> see would be in making it contiguous, but this hasn't been the case since at least XP. (XP and later allocate a permanent pagefile set in this manner using what it believes to be the outermost tracks of the drive. since Magnetic Platter drives have a Constant Angular Velocity this means the Read/Write rate is fastest there, but if there is already data there for whatever reason the 'permanent paging file' will not be contiguous. The paging file normally tries to consume the outermost tracks anyway so this doesn't really change a whole lot. (it's pretty much the same as just having an application allocate a lot of virtual memory to make the pagefile larger). It seems they aren't aware of the simple arithmetic behind the recommended value though.<br/><br/>Another tip recommends ReadyBoost. ReadyBoost is quite thoroughly covered by Mark as well in his <a href="https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/2007.03.vistakernel.aspx">series on the Vista Kernel</a>. I find this advice a <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/bit-239224" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about BIT">BIT</a> of a face-censored-turn even though it will typically have a positive result given the recommendation to disable the pagefile, though.<br/><br/>Going back to the "registry cleaner" type thing, GlaryUtilities, in this case:<br/><br/>Quote<blockquote>I installed it in a Win 7 VM I had, which to my recollection is pretty much a 100% pure clean install from the MSDN Win7 SP1 install disc.<br/><br/>using the recommended method with One-click maintenance, the utility found 19 issues.<br/><br/>"Issues"<br/><br/>Now, what constitutes an "issue" in it's eyes?<br/><br/>Let's see: <br/>-some registry keys that contain no data, including a Typelib registration that has the important data in the key itself.<br/>-Some uninstall entries that "have no information necessary to uninstall it"<br/>-Some registry keys that point to 'non-existent files'<br/><br/>The last one is my favourite. Here are the files it lists as non-existent:<br/><br/>HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\MSDASC\DefaultIcon<br/>- "This Registry key points to the missing icon file %CommonProgramFiles%\System\Ole DB\oledb32.dll,0"<br/>HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Html Help Value IMTCTC.CHM<br/>- "the entry %SystemRoot%\IME\IMETC10\HELP\IMTCTC.CHM points to the missing help file"<br/>HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\HTML Help\IMTCEN.CHM<br/>- "The entry %SystemRoot%\IME\IMETC10\HELP\IMTCEN.CHM Points to a missing help file"<br/><br/><br/>This might seem reasonable in some sense. If the files don't exist, why not delete the registry entries. I can see the logic behind that. The Problem here is that <em>these files do exist!</em>. Every single one of them. It didn't find them because it's not programmed to recognize environment variables, and figures it looks like a path so it should exist. performing this "routine cleaning" on a pretty much clean install corrupts your Windows Help <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/configuration-11827" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about CONFIGURATION">CONFIGURATION</a> as well as corrupting some File Association data for Data Access stuffs. Wow. That is totally worth the 2KB of Data I might save on my hard disk! Deleting the typelib key actually prevented any applications from showing Help, Bravo. And ironically these are exactly the types of problems- as a result of that particular registry cleaner, at least- that people attribute to a "corrupt registry" - a never-ending cycle, like a dishwasher stuck on rinse.<br/></blockquote><br/>Summary: A lot of the things provided as "performance tweaks" are only considered as such through myth and rumour and not typically through any particularly well-tested amount of evidence. As is not atypical of such 'tweaks' they appear to be based on the supposition that the computer is a magic box and we should make assumptions about how the configuration changes actually work and then base our "optimal value" on those assumptions. Which can sometimes work well but oftentimes blows up in the face or works to the detriment of performance or usability, particularly in this case the one about not running with a Pagefile.<br/><br/>I'm not really sure what the Start Menu has to do with it though. Most of the purpose he used the Start Menu for have more efficient ways to do it even in win7, and I think they are all semantically compatible with the Start Screen anyway. I imagine he went that way (hopefully) because it's the easiest way to guide a person through the various 'tweaks'.Is your only objective on this forum to spread the fact that you don't like Windows 8?

297.	Solve : Windows 8 installs Dual boot. I like it.?
Answer» <html><body><p>Dual boot windows seven and windows eight trial. Works good!<br/><br/>I just went down to MSN and got a free copy of windows a enterprise trial that is good for the next 90 days. Of course, it cannot be updated or extended . The <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/idea-770073" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about IDEA">IDEA</a> is to give myself three months to decide if I really want windows eight. I had to use my MSN account. To my surprise, I'm thinking I do want Windows 8, maybe even buy it. it. And no, I am not a big Microsoft fan. In fact, I think Microsoft badly treated me with their aggressive business practices. But that is not the purpose of this post. All I can say is windows eight works good and the install was clean right from the start. All I had to do was to make sure at the proper BIOS settings to boot from the DVD that was created by the program I downloaded.<br/>What really surprised me is somehow, someway it picked up a program I had in Windows XP and saved it for me. Let me explain. The partition I use for the windows eight install was already occupied by Windows XP, and there was a program in windows XP I like to run in windows seven. The strange thing is after installing windows eight on top of that windows XP, the program was <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/still-653256" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about STILL">STILL</a> there. I'm not sure exactly what happened. But apparently windows a just allowed windows XP files to stay there. Well, since it's only a trial operation, I guess that is to be expected. The implication is that I could somehow reverse the process and go back to using the windows XP. But I'm not going to worry about that, in fact the windows XP had stopped functioning properly anyway. But it's just funny that somehow it left a program that I actually use inside of windows seven. Don't ask, it is something that somebody else did so I wanted to do it too cuz I liked it. In the end, I'm impressed. It also asked for my e-mail address and hooked me into windows live, I guess. By itself it did manage to find my avatar and posted it on my desktop. Not sure how did that. But anyhow, I was impressed about how smooth and easy the windows eight installation went on my dell optiplex dx 520. Just want everyone to know, I like windows eight. <br/>What program ? ?<em>You had to ask</em>. Free Cell. You can call it from Windows 7. It is system32 on Windows XP. I don't like the way the Windows 7 version looks. So I found taht somebody else had found you can run it from Windows 7 without install. Just the shortcut.<br/>So, you old geekster, you just instinctively knew you had to use Windows 8's Charms bar to get to the Shutdown command, right? And right off the bat, you just had a feel for Windows 8 and you just opened and closed Windows 8 apps with ease and found the Desktop right away and effortlessly moved back and forth between the Windows 8 Start screen and the Desktop. Is that right? Yes, but I had already read here that you have to look for the power off.<br/>So that took about twenty seconds the first time.l it was well within my short attention span. <br/>Also liked the way it did a dual boot for windows 7 and Windows 8. Very elegant. <br/>Quote from: soybean on August 22, 2013, 08:11:16 AM</p><blockquote>So, you old geekster, you just instinctively knew you had to use Windows 8's Charms bar to get to the Shutdown command, right?

I pressed escape.

How do you close an Open Start Menu? You press escape.<br/><br/>Also, in my personal use case, I use Start->Search for EVERYTHING. This isn't limited to win8 of course. Therefore some of what you addressed to geek isn't even necessary- for example, you can type "shutdown" into search. The item it finds is labelled "Turn off your PC" which seems pretty clear in what it does. No <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/need-25476" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about NEED">NEED</a> for charms there.<br/><br/>Based on some of my co-workers who installed classic Shell and their program-management preferences, I've come to conclude that there really is something most who dislike Win8 have in common.<br/><br/>That is the All Program Menu. That is, people that use Start->All Programs to launch applications. Since the Start Screen rearranges the heirarchal content into tiles, people that used to drill down through the Start Menu may be disillusioned.<br/><br/>However, what those people fail to realize is that the All Programs menu has been effectively deprecated. Windows Vista moved the All Programs Menu so that it appeared within the main Start Menu, rather than filling the screen. The fact that you could Search through them with the Search bar more than made up for this- It's a rare instance where a person is going to meander through their start menu "just browsing"; usually you are going to start an application and know what you want.<br/><br/>I know I personally find using XP and Earlier mildly frustrating; I lost count of the number of times I pressed the Windows key and started typing a entry to search for before realizing that XP didn't have that feature.<br/><br/>Than the fact that I had to drill down through several levels to get and find the Application I wanted to launch simply solidified how massive the productivity boost from the Search bar was.<br/><br/>The reason I surmise that the people who have issues with Windows 8's Start Screen might be adapted to using the All Programs menu is that the Start Screen is semantically the same as the Win7 and Windows Vista Start menu when it comes to Search.Nice post, BC.<br/>As for me, fi I have something I want to do often I make a shortcut and put in on the desktop.
