Apps / Software :: How To Block Opencandy From Installing

Sep 15, 2014

I'm not using the lists which are available for Hostsman I've just set it up to block Opencandy, but have not had time to test it yet to see if it works.

I'm just wondering if there are any other simple ways to block Opencandy from installing.

I use Peerblock, would it be possible to block Opencandy using this program?

Why can't the lists which are available for Hostsman and Peerblock not block Opencandy as default?

How To Block Windows 8.1 Upgrade Message

Dec 24, 2013

I've started getting the Upgrade to Windows 8.1 now - it's free message when I boot up and it's annoying as heck. It locks up the computer and the only choice is to click the upgrade now button. I was able to Ctrl+Alt+Del and sign out then login again. Got the same annoying message but this time there was a Remind me later button.Is there any way to block it or prevent it from happening? I don't want to upgrade to 8.1 now and perhaps maybe never.This is as bad as a virus.

Program To Block Service Host From Starting?

Nov 6, 2013

Since I installed 8.1, my machine is running hot, 45c, but when I shut down one of the many Service Host:Local Service(s), it drops back down to 20c, where it was always with 8.

I can manually shut it down each time.... but I's like to block it from starting in the first place. Shutting down seems to have no other effect other than dropping the temp.

I need to find a fix.... or go back to 8.

Windows 8.1 - Second Internal Drive Permissions To Block Other Users

Jul 4, 2014

I am setting up a new computer with Windows 8.1. I have added a 6TB second drive to the system that I am putting my Files on. I want only the Admin username to have access to this drive and block other users (other users are my kids).

Is blocking other users as simple as going to the security tab and remove "Users(XXUsers)" and just leave Authenticated Users, System, and Administrators? Should I add in this admin username too?

Apps / Software :: Installing Applications Dragging On And On In 8.1?

Apr 1, 2014

Windows 8.1 x64

There are some programs that when I install them appear to hang when they're most of the way through the install. A current example is Hotspot Shield.

I've unregistered and reregistered MSIexec, to no effect. I've run sfg/scannow and the system integrity is 100%. When I check the process it appears to be doing something, though so trivial as to be barely worth recording, so I have to assume it's not hung, unless it's marking time. It's certainly not waiting on a write queue.

How To Change Default Apps Installing Path

Feb 14, 2014

I always wanted to make a small partition for the OS and use the rest of my HDD to store my apps and files but I couldn't format my PC as I had nowhere to back-up my work projects and files I'll need. So finally, I got an external HDD yesterday so I jumped quick on my PC to back-up my files and format (Note that my DVD reader is broken so I performed a clean install from a Partition where I stored Windows 8.1).

Everything went smooth but whenever I want to install a software or something, it default path is on A: (A: is the symbol of the small partition where I installed the OS). I want to install all my apps and store everything on the C: partition (Which is the main partition that have 550GBs).

I already changed the ProgramFilesDir's on the Regedit but whenever I want to install a software it still shows up as "A:" and even after manually changing it to C: the software doesn't lunch.
-------------------
I'm also having another problem, after installing Windows 8.1, when my PC boots up it asks me from where I'd like to boot (Windows 8.1 or Windows 8). I want to delete that Windows 8 thing so it automatically boots on Windows 8.1.

Installing Apps From Store Without Using Microsoft Account?

Sep 10, 2013

I switched from Win 7 to 8 and everything is perfect except the Store...

Like there wouldn't be a problem of using Microsoft account in Win 8 but every time I turn on my computer or even logout I have to type in stupid password!

Is there any way I can download apps from store without using Microsoft account ?

Or to bypass that stupid password for logging in ? But I more prefer to be not logged in into any type of account to use my pc.

Apps / Software :: Installing NET Framework 3.5 - Error 0x800F0906

Sep 15, 2014

I'm using Windows 8.1, trying to install .NET Framework 3.5 through the "Turn Windows features on or off" menu, and for some reason it won't connect to the update server, but only for this one feature, enabling and disabling everything else works just fine. It spits out error code 0x800F0906. When I go to the support site linked on the error message [URL], it gives me a few things to try. None of them work. When I try the one that apparently fixes the issue for most people, Method 3, the terminal spits out an error about the files not being there [URL]. This error also being covered on the same page as the first, I read through that, made sure everything was good to go, and even tried it with a completely separate Windows 8.1 ISO (what I was originally using was a base Windows 8 ISO), still nothing.

Now, I had this issue a few days ago, and it was stopping me from running a few programs. Having gone through everything I could find on the matter, I decided it was just some sort of file corruption and decided to do a fresh "nuke & pave" reinstall.

Apps / Software :: How To Prevent SmartGlass From Auto-Installing

Aug 28, 2013

Windows 8 seems to detect my Xbox 360 and it automatically installs the SmartGlass app. While I quite like what SmartGlass can do, I have no need for it. If I uninstall it, it will just auto-install again next time I use my 360. How can I prevent this from happening?

Apps / Software :: Installing Adobe Reader In Windows 8.1

Jul 14, 2014

Gateway SX2185-UB37
AMD E1-2500 APU
Radeon HD 8240 graphics
500 MB HD
4GB RAM (I upgraded to 8GB after noticing Windows 8.1 was running way too slow on this machine)
problem: installing Adobe Acrobat Reader

error: running the installer from go.adobe.com/reader from within firefox or IE

I get error saying "invalid function in Dynamic Link Library C:windowssystem32dxtrans.dl error window appears and continues to appear over and over after pressing OK until you either restart the computer, or somehow close the running task, but I've yet to figure out how to get to the task manager since this WIndows 8 stuff is still very new to me. I keep telling her for now she can download the pdf's and use the built in adobe reader, but apparently she's been having issues with that too lately. I think she wants to be able to read them in her web browser but without being able to install adobe reader she's not able to do that so.

Updating Or Installing New Apps From Windows Store Fails With Error 0x80072ee4

Nov 27, 2012

I can't install new apps or update existing ones.

Each time I attempt to install or update through the app store I receive error message 0x80072ee4 or 080073cff. I tried:

1. Performing a clean boot. (Disabling all non-microsoft services and startup items)
2. Using the SFC /SCANNOW option to verify the integrity of windows files.
3. Clearing C:/Users/Myusername/AppData/Local/Microsoft/Windows Store and C:/Users/Myusername/AppData/Local/Package to clean the cache files.
4. Clearing C:/Windows/SoftwareDistribution and restarting the Windows Update service.
5. Verifying that all windows services are running.
6. Disabling NIS 2013
7. Running troubleshooter

Nothing works. Don't tell me to run the windows restore function.

1. I don't consider that to be a genuine solution. (What if the same thing happens again?)
2. I don't plan on reinstalling all 50 non-windows app store applications.

Network / Sharing :: Can Linksys Router Block Access To Network

I can't seem to be able to access my other computer on my home network. Enclosed is an "ipconfig/all" screenshot. I need to access my printer on my other printer which I was able to do prior to playing around with my router. All the diagnostics say more or less the same thing. They can "see" the computer but it isn't responding...
