I think this may be a good time to test the "refresh option"..........Today, same thing..........laptop turned off last night......turned it on today, logged me into a temp account.........so I rebooted, and it logged into my normal account.....WEIRD! I rebooted three times yesterday just to see...

So then Vista would be the same procedure as 8.1? I will bookmark that tutorial and if I run into problems I will try that..........but there are a few unclear things in that (at least to me) thanks

I looked at that but that person couldn't get to their profile........My computer loaded a temp profile, then a simple restart loaded as normal........so I didn't think I had the exact same issue.......it sounded like this person couldn't get to their user account even with a reboot.

My laptop....which came with windows 8........recently updated to 8.1 with no issues....... everything on my laptop runs great. I only created one user acct since I'm the only one who uses it, and it's set to bypass the password and boot straight to windows with my profile, which is does 99%...

Ok got it.........I remember which is which..........But say I leave both of them.............when doing a refresh, I'm assuming during the process it will ask you which image you want if you have multiple images. Right? Thanks

I spent some time last night playing around with the new 8.1 to make sure nothing is screwed up. I finally got the startup sound to work. When I looked, it was checked "enable startup sound", but I didn't hear it on startup, and when I looked again, it was unchecked! Weird! But after checking it...

Ok.........so yesterday about halfway through the download, I stopped it.....decided to wait.........today, I couldn't stand it and went back to the store and it picked up where it left off, then installed everything which the setup seemed to take forever. Where I ran into the problem was the...

I still may give it a few days and upgrade........but for now, with the painfully slow download yesterday and doing some reading of some people having problems, I stopped it and decided to wait......especially since everything is running so fast and smooth on my Vanilla 8 version of windows on...

I stopped the install...........I'm going to WAIT...........I have no problems at all with my setup and I have no issues with it..........and generally, I wait while and don't jump right into something new...........I had problems with graphics drivers on this Lenovo laptop...........google and...

I'm downloading now too...........and I must be crazy for doing so. I finally just got used to 8 and got everything the way I wanted it, running perfect.........and this download is incredibly slow! I keep trying to talk myself out of STOPPING the download.......and just leave things the way...

I've used ccleaner for a LONG time and love it...........I never set it to delete passwords though.....I too am confused about if we really need the other utilities that advanced system care offers........but I don't think ccleaner gets everything either..........for example...........I was...

No Problem! I just hope in the future if anyone has this problem they can find this solution helpful. I looked EVERYWHERE and couldn't find a solution to my problem. Incidentally, could you explain to me how a graphics driver would cause chrome or firefox to need their cache cleared frequently...

Indeed it does have a one key recovery so I did not create disks initially.......However, my problem is fixed. Someone on another forum (after me trying everything under the sun I could think of) suggested that it may be a driver.......I searched for free driver updater and found slim drivers...

New Lenovo Windows 8 laptop...... I added classic shell and I actually have no problems with navigating and it feels fast. I like it. BUT, firefox and chrome will not load web pages properly and sometimes not at all.....I don't notice this happening on IE, but only fox and chrome. What happens...
