    Problem with booting

    Sorry to post again, but I cannot edit old posts. Well, from disk management (in mini Windows XP) if I go to Properties and then Volumes for the main drive it's all empty??? Is it because it is not the real system?

    Problem with booting

    OK, I found a mini Windows XP bootable disk and can go from computer management and it can see a recovery partition too apart from the main drive. It says that both are healthy, so it is a software problem. I also have recovery DVD. One starts, but I could not fix the problem (I didn't try...

    Problem with booting

    Hi, my laptop (Windows 8.1) had stopped responding and the CPU was constantly at 100%, so I decided to reboot but got the blue screen of death and couldn't do anything, for example start in safe mode. I kept getting the blue screen of death. Anyway, I found an old recovery disk and it managed to...

    Load/Unload Cycle Count

    There might be new versions, but even updates cost something, sometimes even a lot (not always, but sometimes they do), and some of the software I have is indeed quite expensive (like Photoshop). Maybe I should buy a new laptop before something happens, so at least if there is a problem with...

    Load/Unload Cycle Count

    My main concern is that I am not even sure some of my software will work on Windows 10. I bought my Satellite in July 2011. The screen resolution is 1366x768, which is not very high, but my screen is not huge either (12"x7"). I remember that back then I liked the sound system/speakers (Harman...

    Load/Unload Cycle Count

    Thank you. I do make image backups regularly, normally every two months, but I think at this stage I should make backups more often. I also always keep my eyes open for new laptops altogether, as this one is old and not only the HD could fail, but basically anything. All in all though it...

    Load/Unload Cycle Count

    i have a Toshiba Satellite P840 that is almost 10 years old, but still works fine (it is just slow when it boots). Today I checked HDSentinel and the overview says that my HD status is *perfect* and no action is needed. However, the load/unload cycle count is very close to 2,000,000. I realize...

    Solved Bluetooth not working (Toshiba Satellite, Windows 8.1)

    Ok, I didn't know that you can only connect one device at a time. The headphones were still connected to the tablet, and after I disconnected them from the tablet they now work on my PC. :) I thought it was like wireless, that can be used on multiple devices...

    Solved Bluetooth not working (Toshiba Satellite, Windows 8.1)

    Well, I solved part of the problem by updating Windows... But it doesn't seem to find my device, although "Allow Bluetooth devices to find this PC" is ticked... My tablet found it fine, so the headphones work...

    Solved Bluetooth not working (Toshiba Satellite, Windows 8.1)

    Hello everyone, This is embarrassing, but I really need your help. I had my laptop for years, but as strange as it is I had never used a bluetooth device on it, so I remember that I uninstalled or disabled bluetooth because I thought if I don't need it it just makes the laptop (Toshiba...

    Solved Outlook rules not working

    I have no idea... But it is probably not the only weird thing in a Microsoft product. :)

    Solved Outlook rules not working

    Thanks, but in my version of Outlook there is no option to change that particular option (stop processing more rules). There are many other options, but not that one. :(

    Solved Outlook rules not working

    Thanks for the reply. :) Is there a way to disable "and stop processing more rules" without deleting the rule and recreating it from the inbox instead of using the wizard? I don't have any emails for some of these rules right now, not any I could right-click on to create a new rule after...

    Solved Outlook rules not working

    Hi, I am using Outlook 2010 and some rules don't work. I really have no idea why, as they all have the same settings? (I basically created all the rules in the same way from the inbox.) Can anybody help please? It is annoying to have to move emails manually and there are also emails from...

    Solved Generic desktop at startup

    Thanks, but it didn't do it before I upgraded. I never really "locked" it. Well, of course it is not a big effort to click ;), I was just wondering why. :)

    Solved Generic desktop at startup

    Well, now the generic screen is back after the update and it didn't work to disable it the old way. Then I found this thread: http://www.eightforums.com/tutorials/5763-lock-screen-enable-disable-windows-8-a.html So does it mean that if I don't have the Pro version of Windows 8.1 I am condemned...
