My current computer has been through several re installs from Windows 7 to 8 and now 8.1

My current computer system uses a quad core FX processor on a Gigabyte 990FXA board. If I wanted to upgrade the system and stay with AMD there is the new option of the Kaveri CPU that is also quad...
Thanks you for the reply to my post. I did download and run
Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x64). After the installation and restart the problem is still there.
I already...
I am using Windows 8.1 64 bit with all the recent updates installed. I attempted to load the game MotoGP 13. This installed and created a shortcut to run the program on the desk top. When launching...
I recall the script from Star Trek VI where Chancellor Gorkon states over dinner to Captain Kirk, "You haven't heard Shakespeare until you've heard it in the original Klingon."
I did a clean install of Windows 8 in the prerelease version on an SSD (topic in a previous post). I installed it again once the OEM version was available. I don't have a touch screen on my desk top...
Thank you for your input here. So with the latest changes, I have deleted the hibersys file. I have 16 GB of RAM anyway, and less need of a virtual memory (probably no need at all). I cut down the...
In part I am doing this just to see how all this works, a sort of computer program doodling that appeals to my inner nerd. It is like taking books that you may not need in and out of a limited book...

Powercfg –h on

I tried to resize this...

When I installed Windows 8 64 bit version OEM on my computer I used a 64 GB SSD. I have two other 10,000 RPM HDDs for programs and back up. Installation should only be about 20 GB for this, and if...
By the way, there is more Windows 8 weirdness. Every user on the computer has to set their own regional settings. Once I set my regional setting as administrator to New Zealand, I still had to change...
Thank you for your post. Indeed you are correct here. The regional setting of the computer is separate from the details in Microsoft Account. My computer regional settings was set in to United...
I am running Windows 8 64 bit on a new computer. Windows 8 was created in part to run applications in the same manner as Apple has been doing. When purchasing an application on an iPad, you get...
