Problem Solved. Thanks everyone for your help.

I would like to store all of my cd music on a flash drive and then freecycle the cds. My cds are taking up entirely too much room. However, after following the steps on how to use Windows Media Player to rip cds to mp3 format, I received an "error" each time I tried. Is there a way to either...

2 days ago, I uninstalled Classic Shell completely. And then checked to see if the Aero Peek was still grayed/dimmed. It is. You may know more about how to fix the problem than I do, but I don't think the problem is in Classic Shell. I've had Classic Shell installed on this laptop from about...

I have Classic Shell installed and I used that to disable (as much as possible) the charms bar. I right-clicked the Classic Shell Start Button, clicked Settings, clicked Windows 8 Settings, checked the box for Skip Metro Screen, checked the box for Disable Active Corners: All (I also tried it...

The problem with the black screen happened Thursday afternoon and I had to start working remotely Friday morning. So I spent the rest of Thursday afternoon and evening with Lenovo Tech Support and then my employer's Tech Support to re-install all of the necessary software with Win 8 and then...

I haven't re-installed Win 8.1 yet as it plus the new software from my employer is most likely what caused me to have the black screen. The only solution for that was to do the factory reset. I can't risk that happening again with 8.1. I'm hoping there is an easy solution to get aero peek...

Last week I had to do a factory reset due to incompatibility problems with my employer's software for remote working and win 8.1. I'm now back to win 8, have installed all of my software, disabled the edge swipes to stop the charm bar opening (it still does randomly), but now, my aero peek is...

Aero Peek Not Working in Win 8 I have a Lenovo N580 laptop. Last week, I had to do a factory reset (with help from Lenovo Tech Support) because of compatibility problems with new software from my employer and windows 8.1 which is actually worse than windows 8. The compatibility problems...

I have a Lenovo n580 with win 8.1 installed. A few hours ago, while using it, the screen went completely black. I restarted by holding down the power button. The Lenovo logo appears, along with the circling balls to indicate booting, but nothing else. No desktop, no nothing. I tried the...

I have Win 8.1 installed on my Lenovo laptop and after running a full scan of Windows Defender, in IE 11, I receive the message "This page can’t be displayed" when I try to access Twitter, Facebook, Mal's ecommerce. So far, it's just these pages. There could be more which I won't know until I...

While following your instructions above, I went into Device Manager and Conexant was not there, I neglected to capture the image, there was an audio file (can't remember the name), but again, it was not Conexant and the audio I did have was tinny. Maybe something downloaded from PCEE? Anyway...

I followed the instructions, got as far as "Once you have Dolby downloaded, navigate to the download folder and extract the downloaded file then install the Dolby version for your laptop (Advanced Audio or Home Theater" and then the message "need to install PCEE" appeared AFTER I had already...

I updated to 8.1 because supposedly, it was to offer features similar to win 7. Instead, it's even worse than win 8. Now, the sound quality on my laptop is lousy because the Dolby Audio driver receives an error message and isn't working. I went to Lenovo (I have a Ideapad N Series 580) and...

My laptop came with Windows 8, which I HATE! After reading about 8.1 and that some of the features of win 7 would be available, I downloaded and install 8.1 from the win 8 play store. Well, it has slowed my laptop down, I have lost at least two apps that I know of, so far, it has wiped out my...

I have a windows 8 laptop and there is software that I need to install that requires that I already have Microsoft .NET 3.5 Framework. However, how do I determine if I have it on my laptop? I tried the instructions for Start, regedit, etc. and also looked in Control Panel, Program Features...

Thanks Dirtyvu. After I downloaded Classic Shell, I followed the instructions to disable the charms bar, which I hate. The charms bar has an extremely bad habit of appearing when I don't want it, which is most of the time. And, you do not have to move the cursor to the upper right corner to...

I downloaded the tunein radio app (free) from the win8 store and after installing it, dragged it to my desktop (thinking I was dragging a copy and the original would stay put) where I thought I could use it there. The icon turned into a blank white page with the word "app" under it. I clicked...

I just bought a new laptop with windows 8 about a week ago. Love the laptop, but not windows 8. I have found many old posts regarding installing win 7 games (I really miss Chess Titans as I'm a novice player and it was helping improve my game), but the links in the old posts are not working...
