I have a Sony Vaio VPCEB4C5E.
I updated to Windows 8.1 and since then when I try to watch videos on the windows 8 video app, only the Audio is played.
I have downloaded VLC player and the video works fine.
The same for skype, and camera no video is displayed.
My Graphics Card: ATI Radeon HD 5000
I got a new video card, namely the Sapphire Vapor-X R9 280X to replace my old (broken) video card, namely the Sapphire Radeon HD 7970 Boost.
The problem is that I get no video signal when linking my new video card. The vga-led on motherboard turns on red (normally never) .
I thought my motherboard is broken, but then I tried the video card (Radeon HD 6950) from my brother and he just shows video signal. (vga-led turns not on red this time on motherboard) .
I would also say that on the box of my new video card is a 750 watt power supply recommended, but I only have a 600 watt power supply build in my pc.

View 4 Replies View RelatedMy Windows 8.1 desktop system is not able to show DOS-based messages. That is, messages from the system as it is starting up and before Windows opens, and other DOS-like displays. For example, Windows 8.1 has a "Windows Memory Diagnostics" app. When I start this app from within Windows, nothing is shown on the monitor.
For example, upon powering on my computer the first thing I used to see was the Gateway monitor logo. Now nothing shows until Windows boots.
For example, the computer crashed unexpectedly and began restarting immediately. I was not presented with the typical screen that offers to start in safe mode. Instead, it takes a minute or two and Windows appears.
For example, (pure speculation) when the computer crashes I am wondering if the system is trying to show me the Blue Screen of Death. But nothing is shown at all and the computer reboots.
Suspects: I have a dual monitor system with an XFX R7700 graphics card. It was suggested I remove the card and plug in one monitor with VGA cable. That "fixed" it and I am seeing DOS-like displays.
Related Problem: My computer has been crashing unexpectedly and often -- several times a day. When it does it is so immediate and complete it is as if the power plug had been pulled. It starts up again immediately but may take a bit more time to get going than usual. Then everything is fine until it crashes again.
I'm having severe playback problems with the Video app. Whenever I try to play any video from my PC (avi or mp4), it just freezes on the first frame while the audio continues. If I try to skip it will eventually play properly for 2-3 secs, but then go blocky and freeze again. I've tried playing videos that I rented from Xbox Video, and they play perfectly. All videos also play perfectly on both WMP and VLC. Is it just a very poor app?
I am also having trouble viewing any flash video content in IE10, both Metro and Desktop. Youtube will not play any video in Fullscreen; even at 480p, playback is jerky, with an almost "strobe" like effect on movement. When I was using Vista, IE would quite happily play Youtube videos at 720p in Fullscreen with no issues. If I try to play the front page video on Vimeo, the whole page freezes up. There is no option to disable video acceleration in the flash menu, so I am at a loss as to what else I can try. I have upgrade my graphics card from 256MB to 1GB in the hope it might make a difference, but it didn't. Have just downloaded Chrome and can play Fullscreen 1080p with that no problem.
I was wondering if the two issues might be related? I have looked and looked for Adobe Flash settings all over Windows 8 but can find nothing.
This may well not be the right place to post this.. this is happening on my pc when I change pages at times.I need to know which of these I should have ticked ?
I've gotten a message, " page cannot be displayed ".. with a message to make sure SSL and TSL should be checked.
I have just made a clean install of Windows 8 Pro. Then I installed a couple of apps. I noticed that at the root of Windows 8 drive there are only folders and no files shown such as bootmgr, BOOTNXT, etc.

Not only on Windows 8.1 but on Windows 8 as well ever since I am on the new system, I get too many times 'This page cannot be displayed'. This happens like a page timeout where it takes it longer to load than allowed..
I have been on Ethernet 50 mbps and there seems to be no problem - I can load 10 tabs at a time and they will load. The problem happens when with wi fi modem and supposedly no one else uses the connection, with speedtest I get 17 mbps download, 8 ms ping, 10 upload or smth.
At first I thought it's specific sites doing it but heck it can happen anywhere, forums with just background images, this is where it mostly happens btw, not google images or places with just many images, even forums with simple UI interface, emails.
Is this a lan card issue? Hardly, Ethernet connection is good but maybe it is separate. the modem? If I try smartphone with the wifi which is usually disconnected to not eat the traffic and connectivity, it works fine but maybe Android works too differently. With the notebook I've been having this for 1 year and getting annoying, haven't changed the place yet but 17 mbps should be good enough
In few games, I may lag but this happens rarely in most cases such speed is fine and yet for forums and such it can't load a darn page until I refresh 2-3-5 times... (sometimes without the pictures). This forum loads fine but others and sometimes mail services do not.
One or more ActiveX controls could not be displayed because either:
1) Your current security settings prohibit running ActiveX controls on this page, or
2) You have blocked a publisher of one of the controls.
As a result, the page might not display correctly. It pops up when neither brower's are open. I use Firefox or Chrome, because my IE will not work period.
While posting should I update to 8.1 ? I'm using 8
when hovering over a miniature in the taskbar, normally, and waiting for an instance, a full screen preview is displayed of the selected miniature. However, since a day or two, this is not the case anymore.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI was messing around with the Win 8.1 preview in a VM tonight and noticed that you can have the Desktop Mode opened half screen along with Modern UI apps on the other half of the screen. I haven't heard about this capability, only 2 Modern UI apps sharing the screen at any one time.

My Windows 8 computer is not connecting to the internet even tho it is connected to the internet via ethernet cord. Also My computer is moving incredibly slow and I cannot even get to the control panel, much less edit the network options. When I try to do so, my computer freezes up. I am currently using my sister's laptop.
View 1 Replies View RelatedLive Tiles missing. I recently refreshed my comp. as i had issues with my live tiles as you can see in the link above. And now none of my tiles connect to the internet. I checked my connections, which is fine.
I keep getting a constant error msg saying that the tiles cannot be displayed as there are no internet connections available.
I do a lot of remote administration after hours and I often login as an admin user into client workstations to fix various issues. One thing that I do to eliminate confusion is to edit the registry of a Win7 machine and change the HKLMSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionAuthenticationLogonUILastLoggedOnUser registry value back to the user's username.
That way inattentive users don't keep trying their password with the Admin username when they attempt to login the next day. I see that Windows 8 has the same key, but changing that value doesn't appear to "stick". It appears to be overwritten when you logout/reboot/shutdown. I've also tried deleting the SAM entries in the same key, but that seems to have no effect. I've seen several posts on how to show all users or none on the logon screen, but I'm trying to minimize the changes that end users will experience (complain about). I'm also hoping for a solution that will work with both domain and non-domain joined computers.
The number of emails displayed per page in Outlook.com is 35 ( reading pane is off ), how to reduce this to 25 so that I don't need to scroll down ? I realise that I can obviate scrolling by reducing the zoom from 100% to 75% but I don't find that very comfortable, the text size is then too small for my liking.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI used to connect my Asus X72JR on my Flatscreen TV at 1080p, it always had a crispy sharp image.
After replacing my harddrive and reinstalling Windows 7 (64x) the image wasn't displayed in full size of my TV anymore but smaller (black edges around image) When i set my TV to full screensize everything gets blurry (it just spreads the image)
I updated to the latest graphic driver and looked at the screens resolution which was still set at 1920x1080 (recommended), everything was correct but the screen is either blurry or displayed smaller than the tv screen.
My Asus has a Radeon Mobility HD5470 driver
I have a second laptop, when I connect this to the TV is has a sharp image again even though the settings are exactly the same.
Some times the home group icon will be displayed on my desktop screen and some times it disappears. why is it so?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI just bought a new gaming laptop (Asus G750JM) a week ago, 3 days ago it started having BSODs while doing
multiple tasks at once like using photoshop and browsing with multiple tabs at the same time, also the first time it happened was while i was playing COD ghosts and now while i was trying to launch Dead space the laptop froze for a minute and then it displayed the BSOD. I have read on other forums that the problem was with the latest Nvidia driver 340.52 so i installed an older driver version from asus support website but i would still get the BSOD, so i installed the latest version again.
I have a Lenovo G505s AMD A8 Laptop, fairly new to Windows 8 as this is my first platform running it. Not had the system long, but generally finding it ok except for this one problem thats decided to arise:
All apps, including the Windows Store fail to launch when clicked. They display a splash screen but no loading symbol, the splash screen hangs for about a minute and then the whole app shuts off again. This started with the calculator from what I can see, but now it seems to affect all of them. I've tried multiple theories from several forums and sites but nothing has made a difference.
If possible I don't want to have to refresh or reinstall Windows 8 as I have a fair amount of software I've installed and don't want to have to go through installation all over again.
if it's possible to change the name of A to B? B is correct. BTW it's the same printer.
