Hi there, I'm currently troubleshooting performance issues with my work PC. Even when I am not doing much, the memory usage is quite high. I have 4GB RAM in the system (128MB allocated for the GPU, I believe, as System Properties window shows 3.88GB memory usable) and am running Windows 8.1...

[Solved] How to make a custom "reset" folder? I know that by using recimg, you can make a custom refresh image. And I hear that you cannot use it to reset Windows to factory state. is that so? if so, how do I do that? also, is it possible to store the recovery image in a hidden partition...

I downloaded Windows 8.1 from MSDN. When I tried to run the setup from Windows, it said the OEM key is not supported with Windows 8.1. I surely can use a retail key from the MSDN account but that is my office account, and I should be able to use the key that I paid for anyways. Is there any...

Hi, I've got this Dell tablet and it's touch screen has gone kaput. It works sometimes, it doesn't most of the times. It has gotten worse in the last few days. It only used to do that when resuming from Standby previously. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E45yOcwGFpk There is nothing I can do...

Hi guys. I have a weird one here. I downloaded few video files from a streaming website using Internet Download Manager and couple of such files do not playback properly. In Windows Explorer (detailed view and preview pane) it shows the file sizes as few hundred MB (which should be correct)...

I recently bought a Windows 8 tablet and I'm forced to use IE10 on it to browse the Internet because everything else is crap. I like the idea how you can swipe to the left and right to go back and forth webpages. But when info that, instead of just loading the page from a cache, the page...

Windows 8 autocorrect functionality doesn't seem as aggressive as on a mobile phone. It doesn't detect many of the mistakes my iPhone detects and automatically corrects. I hear that Windows Phone doesn't have this problem as well. Looks like it was deliberately done. Perhaps the argument is...

I'm looking to buy a clovertrail based tablet. I have the following 3 options in my grasp. Which one do you think is the best? 1. Asus Vivo Tab Smart (47.5k JPY) 2. Acer Iconia W510 (52k JPY) 3. DELL Latitude 10 Essentials (50k JPY) All are 64GB model and comes with no physical keyboard. The...

Windows 8 boots up pretty quickly, but it takes a notably long time (compare to Windows 7) for it to show up the system tray applications. In Windows 7 it is almost instant. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7bhC8Bt2lW0 Is this Microsoft's problem or the app maker's problem? Also, the apps...

It shows up in Task Manager's start up app list. But it doesn't load up at Windows startup. It does require UAC. But even when I turn off UAC, if still doesn't start automatically. I have to manually load it. Is there a fix? Or we cannot simply load apps that require elevation at startup?

I cannot recall what it was in Windows 7 exactly, but it was much less than 500us. In Windows 8, it never drops below 1000us. I measured the DPC Latency using the DPC Latency Checker. Any idea why this is? Immature drivers? (Specs in the sig btw) This is also on the *leaked* Windows 8 x64...

I have windows 8 RP installed. I want to install windows 7 as dual boot. What will happen to the boot loader and stuff? Will I not be able to log into windows 8?
