Thanks for your insight.

I'm planning on creating in addition to a CD a USB flash restore drive. The problem is that no where can I find how large of a flash drive do I need. I'd appreciate your insight.

When I'm doing multiple differential images, let's say with a weekly internal, do I make each subsequent one starting from the last differential or from the initial full image? As I've looked it seems to allow to do it one way or the other, but I'd like to know the proper safe alternative. Thanks

Slow right click I did as you recommended stopping all third party installed entries, but the problem persist. I have a folder with movies in MP4, the first right click on a file is really slow, without closing the folder, the next right click is instantaneous.

When I click on the View Devices and Printers in the Control Panel nothing happens... the bar turns green and keep hanging in there without displaying any information. The printer works fine, I can see it in programs; I checked the Printer Spooler and the Blue Tooth Support services, they are...

Win 8 Pro, 86 There is no way I can go through an update I keep getting a "failed "message after attempting installation. On reboot the comp hangs when trying to configure and I have to reboot which ultimately gives the message "failure configuring windows update, reverting changes, do not turn...

Dear Sir, Thank you for your reply. I went through your advice step by step including the Microsoft link and the problem persists. What happens if I try to re-install Win 8 over the existing version as could be done with Win 7?

Ok, here are the files.

Thanks for the reply but It doesn't work with Win 8 Pro. I wonder why!

I agree 100%, Redmond is out for market dominance not functionality by overwhelming it's presence on phones, tablets, laptops, desktops etc.

I've discovered that Win 8 dumped the F8 key on reboot to enter safe mode, now it seems that you have to go through a convoluted process within Win 8 to set up boot into safe mode or alternatively through "msconfig". What if you can't boot into Win 8, wasn't that one of the uses of safe mode...

Dear Sir, Thank you for your reply. If you could help, I'd be glad to send you the logs which I browsed a minute ago and at my level of expertise make no sense to me and as such are useless. When installing the updates on reboot the computer stalls at 30% and I have to manually reboot after...

Refresh was dissapointing Win8 Pro. I've been running Win 7 Home Premium for years and decided to give Win 8 a shot and as such I ran an upgrade (non clean install) which went through perfectly. Eventually,I ran update on Win 8 and tried to install 2 important items, but on reboot I got the...

Win8 Pro. I ran update and tried to install 2 important items and on reboot I got the message "Failure configuring Windows update". Please advise.
