I don't have any video's in my folder. My laptop is fairly new and hardly used so I haven't put much on it. Perhaps like CaperJack said, it is due to accessing the internet. I personally use VLC. And for my itunes bought movies, I use itunes because of the copyright protection, which won't let...

Yeah, Count, but tell me you haven't done something considered "n00b"ish on the PC at one point in your life. If you haven't then perhaps you should run Microsoft, IBM, Apple, etc. :)

Well, even with legitimate software there is a risk that the author of the website or the author of the software has added spyware, bloatware, adware, etc. to advertise and make money, even off of "free" software. One site I never go to because not only do they add spyware and bloatware but they...

My thoughts could be the standard video app that comes stock with windows 8? I do notice that it does hang on the startup screen a lot but does eventually open and is functional. Perhaps he is referring to this? And maybe closes it before it has a chance to load completely? I only responded...

Nah, I'll just use the one that is included. It is easy enough. Thank you for your help :)

Awww just clicked on startup and it wants me to use the new version of msconfig. "If it ain't broke..." :)

Oooooh! Thank you, Jesusfan! I got my msconfig back :)

I concur, broe23

Sounded like installed Firefox from a 3rd party site rather than Mozilla's site.

I just liked the simplicity of the original way to do it. Yes I can do it the way you told me but with the other way I can uncheck each program. With this new way I think I have to right click and disable or something, I haven't really played with it. The old adage "if it ain't broke..." comes...

I knew I should have checked windows update first rather than get it through the windows store. That's on me. I apologize for my first comments about hating Windows 8. Being new to the OS I jumped right in thinking it was just like 7 regarding installations and updates. I should have taken into...

Thank you all for your comments and suggestions. Where would I find direct links and also would I be able to uninstall 8.1 and reinstall via direct link and would it interrupt or disrupt the programs I already have installed? Thank you for your help.

I actually have that Logitech pad. I bought it for my pc. Haven't used it in quite a while. Maybe I will try that. However, I installed the Logitech software on my previous laptop and ended up uninstalling it then discovered that some of the software was still on it causing a pop up issue. When...

I will definitely try your suggestions and come back here to render my verdict. The one thing I like about the smart gestures software, however, are all the features it provides. I like all the different gestures it provides like changing from start screen to desktop, switching screens with a...

I got it from the store. It was telling me that 8.1 was available. How can I reinstall 8.1 now? It's no longer in the store because I already responded to the update. I don't trust third party sites. Plus, won't the system just tell me that I already have the latest version?

Antspants, ok, I didn't know you wanted specifics about my laptop. It's the Asus Q501LA-BB15T03. Also, I did say that I went through services to turn off the keyboard. I did stop it. I did disable it. I turned my laptop back on and windows did turn it back on. UAC appears to be off now, but I...

So far I hate every single version of Windows 8. You change a setting and apply it and Windows 8 reverts it right back to how it was after a reboot. Kind of frustrating that Microsoft took away our rights as users to configure our machines how we want. Not cool at all.

Ok, I am getting super frustrated with Windows 8.1 and I have no idea what to do. I have a Asus touch screen laptop. First off, when I had Windows 7, I could turn stuff off. With Windows 8.1, they seem to have said "Forget you, user!" and forced us to use Windows 8 they way THEY want us to use...

Thank you for your help. I guess I will just buy music then. The only windows device I have is my laptop and I watch my movies in iTunes because that's where they all are. Thank you again. :)

Ok then. Thanks for the help. I will just stick with iTunes.
