Thanks glnz I've finally got it sorted, but straight forward is wasn't! I had to boot into BIOS and disable secure boot. Then enable legacy boot. Then enable cd/dvdrom boot. Then I had to change network boot (even though I wasn't booting from network) from EUFI IPv6/IPv4 to EUFI IPv4 which...

Gentlemen, as I'm trawling for an answer before posting, I found this thread. I have the same problem where my Win8 HP pavilion won't let me boot from CD/DVD or USB. I have gone into the BIOS and firstly disabled secureboot, then enabled legacy boot, then changed the boot order in both EUFI...

Thank you MilesAhead. As this is out of my knowledge & comfort zone, I'll need to play around with it. It looks like it might be time consuming to check the power of net user. I'll check back with my findings. Cheers D

My laptop has only ever had one admin user account with full access to sensitive information, but I have now added a non-admin account which needs occasional access to restricted content. I want to give temporary access only to a personal folder. It seems that once the non admin user opens the...

Thank you usasma! I'll go through your list of recommendations. However, I don't know why you think I only have 11 win updates - I am fastidious with keeping everything up to date. I have 95 Windows updates, 41 Office updates, 1 Silverlight, and 2 C++ giving 139 updates in total. Thank you...

Hi all, I get a random BSOD when I boot my HP Pavilion 15-e073sa notebook. It's only on boot up, and only every 2 or 3 boots it gives me a REFERENCE_BY_POINTER and reboots, usually with no problem. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

No, the X drive is the mounted Truecrypt archive. It is called 'My Documents' and it is 250Gb in size on a normal spinning HD. Win8.1 doesn't allow me to defrag it as I can on Win7.

Greetings all.. I don't know if this was the case on Win8, but I've updated my box to Win8.1. I have a 250Gb Truecrypt file as my 'Documents stash' which I mount as a separate drive. On Win 7 I could defrag this but on 8.1 the drive is greyed out not giving me chance to defrag it. Can...

No worries.. I got mine sorted. I downloaded a freeware tweaker called DrTCP though googling will show you you can do the tweaks through an elevated command prompt. With this app I put the MTU level up to 1400 and now the xbox connects, though now I have a stability problem but this is purely...

Diamondwolf, did you get a result on this? - I'm having connectivity problems too (though I have to say my 360 won't connect to either win7hp or 8.1 internet connection sharing laptops.) I'm using a usb tether to my all-you-can-eat data plan 3 mobile but though internet works on the laptops, I...

OK, thanks, good job. So to confirm, you used the installed program (exe) not the (iso)?, though as you say it shouldn't make a difference. Thank you. D

ok thanks... and good luck!

Hi everyone, I've had a look around both here in 8Forums and general Googling, but what I've found is unclear and contradictory. I have a new HP Pavilion 15 e073sa laptop with a 750Gb HD. I would like to mimic my Win7HP setup on my old Toshiba laptop which is to partition the C drive to...
