So, I've just bought a new laptop for university work and it came with Windows 8 pre-installed.
First thing I did when I booted the laptop up was install Microsoft Word and Norton Security, all fine so far!
And then it comes to downloading iTunes, latest Adobe Flashplayer/PDF reader etc and everytime it will get close to finishing. Around 98% or so, before stopping and saying 'The file download was interrupted'. So I press resume download and it comes up with another error message of 'The signature is invalid or corrupt'. I literally can't download a thing?
Also, I can't play youtube videos either. All I get is the 'buffering' circle, a black screen and a greyed out play button!
I am trying to increase the USB sampling rate of my USB mouse.
This is how I used to do it in Windows 7:
Run DSEO and enable test mode. Reboot. Right click HIDUSBF.INF and select Install. Configure the driver and set the polling rate to 500 hz. Run DSEO and sign these two files: C:WindowsSystem32DriversHIDUSBF.sys and C:WindowsSysWOW64DriversHIDUSBF.sys Reboot.
And My mouse runs at 500 hz!
Apparently, enabling DSEO in test mode does not work anymore, so here's what I've done so far in Windows 8:
In elevated cmd, I ran this command: bcdedit -set TESTSIGNING ON Reboot. Right click HIDUSBF.INF and select Install. Configure the driver and set the polling rate to 500 hz. Run DSEO and sign these two files: C:WindowsSystem32DriversHIDUSBF.sys and C:WindowsSysWOW64DriversHIDUSBF.sys Reboot.
My mouse is still running at 125 Hz. This is a nightmare. Then, I tried:
In elevated cmd, I ran this command: bcdedit -set loadoptions DDISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS Reboot.
How to install inf/drivers which have no digital signature in Windows 8 ? I had tried to install kqemu-1.4.0pre1 and returned "Third part inf does not contain digital signature information". When I tried to run service which returned
C:Windowssystem32>net start kqemu System error 1275 has occurred.
I cannot disable driver signature enforcement I have using CMD, by bcdedit.exe , still not working (bcdedit /set loadoptions DISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS & bcdedit /set testsigning on ) even after running CMD as Administrator
Also, i have disable driver signature enforcement by setting ( general-advanced setting- etc) Still no effect
How do I disable driver signature enforcement in windows 8.1 permanently ? I dont want to use that advance restart option all the time... is it possible?
So recently I've been uploading my physical DVD's to my system to keep as backup and to watch here and there. In doing so I can access some of them, but others it says 'The directory name is invalid." They are all in the same directory (F:/Movies) and each is named the same (Name (year).)
I can however view these movies using XBMC, I just cant view, edit, move, rename or copy these from file explorer.
I have an Xbox Controller S running on XBCD drivers for my Windows 8 computer. When I used these drivers on my Windows 7 laptop, I used DSEO to enable test mode, and it worked perfectly. Using the same method sends Windows 8 into a BSOD, so that's out of the question. The other solution is to reboot from the Settings menu and manually disable it at EVERY STARTUP. So, is there any other ways to disable DSE without rebooting every time I want to use the controller?
My computer is a 5-month old ASUS M11BB, 3.7GHz AMD A4, with Windows 8 64-bit installed.
I have just brought over my Gmail account into my Outlook.com account. I can now send or receive GMail using the Outlook.com web interface. Is there a way I can create seperate Signatures for each email account (@outlook.com and @gmail.com)?
Verison Router w/ DHCP 192.168.1.X DLINK access point using DLINK router w/ DHCP 192.168.0.X Cisco access point using DLINK router w/ DHCP 192.168.0.X
Problem:
New Toshiba notebook connects to Verizon router without difficulty, but cannot connect to DLINK or CISCO without "LIMITED" usage (IP configuration error) [With a lot of reset, renew and Windows 8 troubleshooting it will connect to the DLINK for about an hour, but the magic must be repeated after an hour or so]
History:
4 other Notebooks connect succesfully to any of the 3 access points 3 Phones connect succesfully to any of the 3 access points 2 Tablets connect succesfully to any of the 3 access points
Reason for DLINK or Cisco Connection:
Verizon router is outside of the local network containing shared drives.
For some reason Windows 8 Pro keeps corrupting after installing updates i have used the DVD to refresh in the past but i can't boot into Windows so i can refresh without media ie copying install.wim to C drive
I'm dual booting Windows 8 Pro With Windows 7 VHD.
One user logs in and all desktop icons have a pinkish "X" on them in the lower left and none of the icon work, AKA, you get an error message when you click on them:
"the operation on (path to file) was started with an invalid parameter"
I' am currently using a custom made laptop which I had to repair due to an hardware failure. After I got the PC back I reinstalled Windows but the product key I had wasn't working properly any more. Knowing that after an hardware change this is not an uncommon problem, I just used the option "Activate by phone" and everything went fine.
Unfortunately the last day I got the blue screen with the error 0xc0000021a, which I know is caused by misconfigured system files in the computer. Moreover this error is really similar to the error I got prior the hardware failure (0xc00000e). So I figured that maybe the Windows 8 installation I have (I purchased before Windows 8.1) has some problems, and maybe I can solve them by reinstalling directly Windows 8.1, instead of reinstalling Windows 8 and then upgrading it from the store.
The problem is that when I launch the Windows 8.1 set-up program to create a media for recovery, when asked for the product key mine doesn't work. I think this has something to do with the hardware change and with the fact that I used the "activate by phone" option, but my Windows version is legit and I paid for it, and therefore I want to be able to reset my computer if I need to (like now).
I'm using DISM to create a custom image, we use a vlk licence key to install but this isn't being accepted on the answer file. Its definatly a valid key and being entered correctly). I'm just getting the error 'The unattended answer file contains an invalid product key' Is there anything i can do to get around this?
I have a client running Windows 8.1. The original problem was that he could not install an HP 6700 printer, the installer package failed every time. I got the same error; I attempted to update all his drivers and noticed that all the installers failed. I then attempted to install it manually and I get a failure: Windows found drivers software for your device but encountered an error while attempting to install it. The data is invalid. I receive the same error if I try to install any driver the same way. Laptop is an Acer Aspire One running 8.1, there were no recovery discs made and all recovery options fail. Not sure where to go with this.
I use Windows 8 PRO and BitLocker to encrypt my system drive. My notebook hasn't TPM module, so I changed group rules and allow to use BitLocker without TPM. I enabled BitLocker, write key backup to flash drive and use PIN to unlock BitLocker.
Everything works fine except one think... when I start computer, there is BitLocker start screen and I must write PIN.
Always, really ALWAYS first-time password is invalid. Tried to write it very, very slow and I'm sure its correct... but BitLocker said it isn't.
I must delete it and write again... click enter and... pass is valid! I try to use insert to show password - in this case, first-time password are correct and Bitlocker accepts its. Unfortunatelly, it isn't secure method.
I upgraded to windows 8 and have had no problem when I booted up my compaq presario. I was not online went to the control panel to troubleshoot my internet connection and was told that my Ethernet doesn't have a valid IP configuration and that "Default gateway" is not available. I am hardwired into my AT&T router (the same router that is serving three other laptops in my home without any problems). I downloaded the v1.7.0.0 driver but I'm not sure if it installed as I am still having to manually reset my ethernet adaptor via the control panel each time I restart the computer.
I am unable to install the drivers for my NIC's getting the error 'Invalid data as shown in the images below'.
It has previously been working fine on all adapters but I needed to uninstall the network cards as HyperV was throwing up an error when creating virtual switches which may have caused this?

I have tried numerous drivers with no luck all getting the same error.
The box has alot of data on it so I would rather not have to do a clean install.
After recently installing stardock suite with icon manager, i decided to uninstall the program and go back to just using rainmeter. After doing so, it seems like all my icons (programs and windows defaults) are one icon and corrupt.
Ive already done the following:
installed icon manager and restored windows defaults with no luck
rebuilt windows icon cache and thumb cache with no luck
restarted explorer.exe
This is frustrating to say the least and i really dont know why these methods dont work..
I recently received a restore usb for windows 8 from dell and had some trouble.
When I tried to repair the operating system with the usb restore, this it what happened.
I was given the following options- off the USB restore
1-refresh 2- system restore 3- repair 4- Re-install windows 8
After trying to 1-3 first to repair the OS, all denied being able to fix.Sometimes I would get these messages-
1-Volume Locked.
2-A required drive partition is missing.
3- windowssystem32winload.efi is missing or corrupt.
After I re-installed windows 8, I see the following partitions.
1- c: re-install windows 8 - 404gig of 418gig(currently done)
2- d: corrupt windows 8 , but all the system files are still there 45 gig of which 38 gig is used by the previous corrupt OS ( but all the files are still there).
My question is , is there any way to fix or restore the corrupt previous OS ?
The reason I want try restore previous OS is because I had activated windows , had all the dell drivers installed and had the antivirus, installed.should I try to rename C:- D and D:- C to see what happens ?
I'm running windows 8 pro x64intel i5 2400 @3.10 ghz ram 8gb
First i tried installing via store, but there's an error.. we can't connect to the internet right now so i tried downloading the iso version via (upgrade with a product key) made a bootable usb out of it.
Inserted the usb into a USB 3.0 hub while win 8 is running proceeds with the upgrade then after the setup restarts and says "Setting up" i get error 0x101 0x30018 searching the net i found some solution like update amd graphics driver, disable lan etc via bios, update your bios did all that... still same
Next: tried uninstalling tuneup utilities inserted the USB installer to a USB 2.0 Hub Somehow i got past to the stage "applying settings 99%" then 100% restarting and now i got the ....restoring to previous version ...
I just bought ARMA 3 and believe it or not, the brand new DVD I received has a corrupt file on it. I brought it from ebay so I would like to try and repair it before sending it back.
I am 100% sure it is the disc as my DVD drive is working fine, every other DVD I put in works flawlessly. Installing the game fails at around 50% and burning the DVD to an ISO also fails at 50%. Other games install/burn fine.
I tried copying the files to my hard drive and found that the damaged file is '107411_depotcache_5.csd' which is about 1GB in size (every other file copies without issues).
My question is, can I somehow repair the corrupt file?
I recently re-installed Windows 8 Pro, 64bit after having some difficulties with drivers. I thought I would start afresh. The installation went smoothly but now I cannot play any type of file with WMP 12 and the Video App in Metro, this may be linked to multiple SFC scans that I have run, all of which report that some repairs have been made and some files were corrupt and could not be fixed.
The Video App crashes with this error message (in event viewer):
Faulting application name: wwahost.exe, version: 6.2.9200.16420, time stamp: 0x505a9152 Faulting module name: ntdll.dll, version: 6.2.9200.16579, time stamp: 0x51637f77 Exception code: 0xc0000374 Fault offset: 0x00000000000ebd59 Faulting process ID: 0xf2c
My desktop (Dell Optiplex 755, Windows 8.1 Pro 32-bit, 4GB RAM, Intel Core 2 Duo CPU E6550 2.33GHz) has been playing up over the weekend.
1) Have run restore point 30 June.
2) Sometines beeping (seems like 3-2-3) & not starting. Have removed the 3 RAM sticks, & replaced one at a time. All allowed it to start, so put all back & now booting OK.
3) Ran SFC /scannow, and reported corrupt files found and unable to fix some of them
I am attaching a screen shot of the sfc report, and also attaching the SFC log file.
The latter is many pages if info reports. How to interpret the log, and/or how to repair the system?
As the lpg file CBS.log is nearly 5MB I have split it into 3 files named CBS20140707-a.log.txt, CBS20140707-b.log.txt & CBS20140707-c.log.txt to fit within the 2MB limit for attachment size.
I have installed windows 8.1 enterprise x64 in my Hp Envy m6-1102sa and i installed all my programs, when I was installing Eset Smart Security v 7 and i restarted system. I got a blue screen on it (kernel auto boot invalid lock release) 0% since 5 hours.
I have restarted many times, no way except system restore and lose my all programs, this is the second time...
