Hello all! I have two systems on two different WAN networks. One of them is a code server, which runs an app on port 1000. That system is also running an HTTP server on port 80. I have a client that is blocking requests out of their network to port 1000. I have a second machine that's not...

OK. Weird stuff. Windows 8.1 x64. When I directly click on the Taskbar Explorer icon, it flashes for a bit, then nothing. If I right click and select a pinned folder, it opens instantly. I also have a CMD prompt pinned to the task bar. If I right click, then right click on the CMD again...

I bought a new laptop with a 13" but HIGH (3800x1800) resolution screen. W8.1 has a display feature where ALL objects can be scaled larger to deal with the fine resolution. However, I have one program on the desktop that sometimes flips this off and "goes native". Any idea why this would happen?

This is a Windows 8 OEM CD install, on an i7 x64 system. I have tried this with both UEFI and legacy modes. I cleaned the drive and allowed setup to partition and format how it sees fit on an Intel SSD. The system copies files, sets them up and reboots. The blue windows logo is up for a...

Hi all. I run a home server with IIS, this serves a commercial web-application on port 80. I also run a code-control server on another port, 1000. This is not HTTP. I have a client with a locked down network; they do not allow traffic to port 1000. Would it be possible to have IIS route all...

OK. I have searched for "boot to desktop" and I got nothing good. I am setting up a Surface as an interface for a medical device. Our program runs as a Startup program, and this seems to work- except that it's running on the Desktop while the user stares at the Start screen Is there...

Hi all. I am purchasing a new ASUS All-in-one that comes with an HDD; I want to move to an SSD. I have lots of W7 install experience, but have only used W8 on a touchscreen laptop, so I am not sure how to go about this. There's a lot of information on HOW to do everything (Which is great)...

1) Bought a new laptop with 500GB 5400RPM Drive + embedded 24GB fast boot. 2) Installed some apps from the store, used it for a day or two. 3) Cloned the original drive to an SSD 4) Went back to the store, got the message "Store not available on Windows To Go" 5) Since this was a non-pro...

I just bought an ASUS S400CA, with a 500GB 5400rpm drive and a 24GB SSD for booting. It appears to me that the HDD is the boot drive, so the 24GB on-board SSD should not be an issue. Correct me if I am wrong. The HDD system was partitioned approximately like this... 1) 100MB (Windows use) 2)...
