CROW tastes funny Okay CROW tastes funny sometimes. With a new printer driver you can get Windows 10 to work with a USB-> LPT1 cable BUT HERE IS THE TRICK! You have to plug it in, check and see if Windows found it, if it didn't unplug it and PLUG THE CABLE INTO A DIFFERENT USB PORT. This can...

Hello. For starters I have 6 computers on Windows 10 and 2 that are not. WHY? First Windows 10 or more like Windows 1 does not support some things that businesses may need. For example, do you have an old plotter, scanner, laser engraver that uses a parallel port? If so kiss it good bye...

I have Kaspersky and when I allowed it to run unabated, it would go into a loop when I would start MS Outlook. I reported the problem to Kaspersky Tech Support and they told me to disable the email portion and that there would be a fix out in May. It is now June and no one at Kaspersky seems to...

Thanks everyone!

Now one thing. When I converted a Windows 7 Pro to Windows 8 and that failed, every last driver was up to date. Every last one and it did the same thing as the Laptop update did except it wiped out 1.5 million files and I have excuses 2, 77, 89 and who cares, I trusted that I could revert and...

What the Win 8 pro update process did was ask for the install disk. This is where it re-installs a useless minuscule version of Windows 8. When I gave the install disk, it promptly announced that the install disk was incorrect. That is what installed it in the first place. No I know at this...

I just installed Windows 8 professional on my Dell Inspiron Laptop. It has a 8 gig and 1tb HD. I downloaded and installed every MS update for Windows 8 until the Windows Update reported NO UPDATES! Then I installed Office Pro 2010, MS Mapping for America and Europe, Installed MS Visio and MS...

Okay, the install disk was bad. But install 2010 Office on a Windows 8 machine and updates fail again. The repair setup - repair your installation - refresh. Now anything you installed is uninstalled. It is all gone. MS Windows 8 corrupts or allows the corruption of its update process...

I did call MS. The problem is a failed or corrupt cab in the Windows install process. They dont have a prescribed way to fix it per the MS Tech. Coming in a month, maybe. I am starting to like the interface. It still seems a little clumsy but it is a new way of doing things and as usual MS has...

Ilooked up the errors - apllied the fixes and nothing. MS where are you?

Went into Win 8 and the errors I got this time were 8024402F and 8024A000 and db error 80070490. Fails, rails, fails and no way I could find to manually download the updates or update the update process manually. It still hurts when you shoot yourself in the foot! Thanks and make sure you...

Unfortuneately yes I did and the update process would give three errors, a different one after I ran what was in the help text or when I did what the other authors (including a MS person) suggested. I tried or tested every suggestion. That is why I am here asking for suggestions! At the end...

I have installed Win 8 Professional x64 bit - the release version. Yes I do have it. Windows update fails. I have run everything I found on three different forums and Windows 8 Professional update still fails. The install was flawless - surpised me. Windows 8 accessed the internet at the...
