hi, i use the paid version of Boxcryptor, but if you're using only one cloud provider & don't care about scrambled filenames, the free version is an option. You don't have to store your encryption key with them (i personally would never use encryption where I had to trust some provider), you can...

it appears the old <F8> during boot to choose options doesn't work with this version (or I'm missing it), so I wonder exactly what the purpose of it is. Is it where the files are stored for a 'refresh'?

i tried booting into safe mode with networking, same thing. What's funny is a while ago there was an article on ZDNet saying the best Windows PCs were iMacs/Macbooks using BootCamp, just because the hardware is better quality. Well, i have an iMac and a Macbook, & both are running Windows...

weird thing is that sfc /scannow works & comes back as 100% successful. It's only the DISM stuff that fails. I worry about getting updates going forward. I'd hate to rebuild, I built this machine only in late December, & I don't install a bunch of crap on it. So I have 8.1.1, but I want...

yeah, I tried this, too. some of the things i've tried: 1) changed ownership of those 3 directories & perms so i could copy the missing DLL from another 8.1u1 installation, no dice 2) did a /resetbase, which removes them entirely (i'm not uninstalling any updates) 3) shared out the...

after updating to 8.1u1, i'm running "dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth" and I get the following: C:\Windows\Logs\DISM>dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool Version: 6.3.9600.17031 Image Version: 6.3.9600.17031...

I hope they do bring back a Start Menu. Maybe it won't be what we're used to, but dropping it entirely was a bad idea. If it weren't for Start8, I'd still be on Win7 on all my PCs (still am on 2 of 3). Win8.1 has some nice improvements under the hood, but I have no use for any of the Metro...

I am interested in one for a) Windows logon, and b) RoboForm use. there used to be some available called Eikon UPEK, but Apple bought that company & now it seems there's only OEM vendors who sell the technology to notebook vendors. Is anyone still making this stuff or is it and Windows...

wow, thanks! I can't believe it's still on their website as a current product.

Hi, I built a new PC running 8.1, GPT, UEFI secure boot mode, everything. I'm now at the point where I'm ready to start migrating my data to it, but before I do that, I need to get some backup software that offers me the option to boot from a recovery CD and restore from an image file backup...

Hi, I have a very old dual-boot system of Win7/Win8.1. It has a motherboard using Intel's P35 chipset, running a Core 2 Duo E8400, and ATI Radeon HD 2600 graphics. This is all 2008 hardware. Anyway, it's clear there's something wrong with the USB on this motherboard. I've been having...

just figured i'd update in case anyone else has the same issue. I downloaded again, same size file but different hash. The correct md5 for that ISO is 2d6a887c8e68bd1e814e820c601b7496, this one works without issue. MS seems alone among OS vendors not putting ISO hashes on their website. A...

disregard this, has to be corrupted ISO. I've since tried more machines, same thing every time. I'll download again.

OK, my company has a licensing agreement with MS with Software Assurance, so i downloaded the US English Win 8.1 Pro ISO. details on the ISO below: MD5 (SW_DVD5_Win_Pro_8.1_64BIT_English_MLF_X18-96634.ISO) = ae933ae02925d6ece7f325ca93dcb118 First I tried installing on a late 2013 27" iMac...

Hello, I have a dual-boot system (using BootIT NG) with two hard drives. Disk0 has Win7 (normal setup with 100MB System Reserved volume) and Disk1 has Win8 (normal setup with 350MB System Reserved volume). I don't have drive letters assigned to the other OS' volume, so Win8 won't access the...
