    Windows 8.1 Update: The IT Pro Perspective

    Or like a desktop with only an SSD, with only a 24 GB system partition. I want to reduce it to 20 GB, to get 4 GB more user space, but I'll stay on the conservative side, just in case MS Updates or my apps get a severe case of bloatware in future releases.

    Access problems in C drive

    That is not possible given the existing permissions for the Windows directory. "Users" has Read/execute, List folder contents, and Read. The other permissions are not allowed. "ALL APPLICATION PACKAGES" has the same three permissions, with no others allowed. "TrustedInstaller" has List folder...

    Five reasons I'd rather run Windows 8 than Linux

    Now that you mention it, I realize that Hεαrtblεεd is at the server switch "level" and is unrelated to the user OS. Now excuse me, I must get back to changing all my passwords, and I have no idea of how many there are, much less where they are, or even, in some cases, what they are. It's...

    Five reasons I'd rather run Windows 8 than Linux

    Ubuntu would not install on my ASUS M4A785-M AM2+ m/b, ATI HD 4200 onboard with VGA/HDMI/DVI-D, AMD Phenom II 8900 3-core, Mushkin Chronos SSD, ASUS 22X DVD-RW setup, nor on a Lexar Jump S70 16GB USB. Believe me, in the wake of Hεαrtblεεd, I wanted to install Ubuntu rather than Windows 8.1 - as...

    Internet connection unstable/keeps dropping

    Check to see if you have placed a user limit on your router settings. It may be that you have locked yourself out at max users = 4, for example. Or you may have allocated only four IP addresses for connected devices. You may find what you're looking for in your router settings at...

    Solved Midi and Windows 8

    Horsefeathers. Unsupported OFFICIALLY, without a doubt. But MIDI plays the hardware, nonetheless. I haven't tried Windows 8.1 with my Clavinova, and I probably won't. Windows 95 OSR2 and Cakewalk do just fine for me with that setup. But I've never had any Yamaha or Yamaha Clavinova drivers...

    Windows 8 suddenly takes ages to boot

    Your problem started after replacing the AMD/ATI video with nVidia video. The Catalyst software for AMD/ATI is notoriously difficult to remove. Head to the AMD site and search for an uninstaller program for either your specific Catalyst program or your ATI Radeon display adapter. That...

    Wifi Signal Through Wall?

    BeKure, if your house is over 50 years old, and the walls are plaster instead of sheet rock, you have metal mesh as a lattice for the plaster. The metal mesh creates a Faraday cage, which blocks or significantly impairs wireless signals. The metal mesh is probably not in the ceiling, which uses...

    Printers in virtualbox

    Will this arrangement (VMWare, Virtualbox, VMBox?) support a 20-year-old Epson ActionLaser 1000 with XP drivers, on LPT1:? I have lots of toner, worth hundreds of dollars, that I DO NOT want to throw away - hazardous waste damaging the ecosystem, you know. The snail darters wouldn't like it...
