According to this link my old Asus P5K-E Wifi Delux board should be compatible:
Windows 8 compatibility for ASUS P5K Deluxe/WiFi-AP AiLifestyle Series ATX - iP35 Motherboard model P5K DELUXE WIFI-AP
However the Asus download site for this board does not list Win 8 as compatible OS - only up to Win 7.
I am thinking of upgrading but don't want to rebuild my PC to do this.
I have an Asus P5QL VM DO montherboard in my homemade PC. This is an older system that I use for testing, so I put my Windows 8 install on it. Unfortunately, the Asus driver installation CD will not run in Win 8, and I am missing one driver which I am unable to locate anywhere. It is for the PCI Simpe Communications Controller.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI was reading online that Windows 8 will just reinitialize itself if you make any significant hardware changes. Kind of like what it did during the first install/boot.
So because of this I had not backed anything up (it's all replaceable I just would really rather not set everything up again).
The message I'm getting at startup is "Reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key"
Windows 8 is installed on my Vertex2 SSD which is being recognized by the bios along with my other drives. I ensured that the SSD was selected as first boot device which it was and disabled the other ones for giggles. Still nothing.
Why won't it boot? I didn't change anything other than the motherboard
I am currently running a pc with Windows 8 Pro activated by KMSPico. Will/should the Win 8.1 update install/work ok on my system when it becomes available?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI recently built my 1st gaming PC (Intel Core i7-3770, EVGA GeForce GTX 770, NZXT Phantom 240 - System Build - PCPartPicker Canada) , and had a couple problems with the display while the GPU (GeForce GTX 770) was plugged into the motherboard (MSI Z77A G41) which then I fixed... or so I thought... I got it to work through the motherboard, so now the display works on the monitors and I can start up the computer and install drivers for the GPU and see that the computer recognizes it in "Devices Manager" panel, but as soon as I plug the VGA connector into the GPU it shows no display once again... literally nothing, the light in the monitor just starts flashing after a while...
I have tested 2 different monitors which gave me the same result, and I tried playing the the BIOS around but did not find anything that fixed the problem... so my question is does my GPU work even if it shows no display when I connect the VGA connector into the graphics card? If I was to install a game would I be able to run it at high settings or would it run in the integrated graphics card (Intel HD 4000)...
I made a post before about the problem that I had before this, which was that the graphics card did not show display at all when plugged into the mother board... [URL] ....
How am I suppose to install windows 8 on a new motherboard if all there is are the upgrade versions of the disc? I have vista on my old motherboard but that doesn't seem to be working any more.

Remove the installation media and restart your computer so that windows starts normally. then, insert the install media and restart the upgrade.

View 2 Replies View RelatedMy Sapphire AMD HD 7870 just bit the dust so it has been sent back with an RMA. I had hoped to replace it with an ASUS AMD HD 3850 but Windows 8.1 will not work with it. There is an error message on a blue screen something about a header (I don't have the exact error message today).
I suspected it was a driver problem so uninstalled the existing driver and tried to install the latest AMD one. I can uninstall OK but as soon as I reboot the Microsoft driver installs itself giving me no opportunity to install the AMD one.
I'm in need of installing IntelliType 6.x to be able to use all functions of my Microsoft Office Keyboard, but the Program Compatibility Assistant doesn't let me, even though I've correctly set the policy rules (as described here) and even turned off the Diagnostic Policy Service.
The only options I have is "get help online", which tells me that I should download the latest version, and "close" which doesn't run the installer at all.
I understand the program might not work, but Microsoft should at least allow people to bypass their "Let Microsoft decide for you" BS (which I've met like six billion times by now) and let the idiots (i.e. me) take the risk of ruining their computer if they want to.
So I have recently switch over to 5ghz wifi, I look up how to check the 5ghz wifi compatibility, it state that if my computer have 802.11a or 802.11n network modes it's compatible to 5ghz wifi. My Windows 8 computer have 802.11n. That should be mean my 5ghz wifi should be showing up, but its not. My Iphone 5S is able to connect to my 5ghz wifi. But my computer is not.
The way I check is type "netsh wlan show drivers" In Cmd, then i look at Radio types supported, it listed as 802.11b, 802.11g, and 802.11n.
I have a simple shortcut file (.lnk) which I want to make "Always run as administrator", but I can't see the compatibility tab?

Client confirms no backup and insisting that I we try not to lose data. Managed to get the desktop up and running as same chipset on new mobo. client now complaining that computer drops out randomly. I've asked the client to back up there data and stated that we will have to complete a fresh re-install due to possible driver issues.
If we run the factory reset disks from advent will it not load the same chipset and drivers for the MSI? thus causing it to drop out again? If I install a fresh copy of windows 8 where do i get the product key from?
I'm trying to set up Virtual PC 2007 SP1 on Windows 8.1 Pro with Update.
By default, the Program Compatibility Assistant blocks this with the following notice:
The easy way to get around this is to rename the installer and then rename the main EXE that gets installed. There are a few other tricks (including replacing VMM.sys) and then it works. However, the EXE rename appears to be affecting my ability to double-click on a VM to start it so I thought it would be nice to just disable PCA altogether so I don't have to rename the EXE. Following the various instructions (including some from Microsoft), I haven't been able to disable PCA. Specifically, I have:
1) Attempted to create an EXE exclusion by editing the registry and creating a REG_MULTI_SZ value called "ExecutablesToExclude" with the full path to the Virtual PC.exe excutable in the following registry locations:- HKLMSOFTWAREMicrosoftWindows NTCurrentVersionAppCompatFlagsCompatibility Assistant- HKLMSOFTWAREMicrosoftWindows NTCurrentVersionCompatibility Assistant
2) Changed the following Group Policy settings:- Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Application Compatibility:Enabled "Turn off Application Compatibility Engine"Enabled "Turn off Program Compatibility Assistant"- User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Application CompatibilityEnabled "Turn off Program Compatibility Assistant"
3) Stopped and disabled the following services:- Application Experience- Diagnostic Policy Service- Program Compatibility Assistance Service
Despite doing all of this, I keep getting the error popup above. It keeps coming back from the dead like {insert your favorite horror movie villain here}.
In the Event Viewer logs, I also see a "Critical" error (event ID 2) from source "ApplicationExperienceInfrastucture" that says "The application (Virtual PC 2007 SP1, from vendor Microsoft) was hard-blocked and raised the following: Virtual PC 2007 SP1 is not supported on this version of Windows. For more information, contact Microsoft."
I'm guessing that Microsoft changed PCA in the Windows 8.1 Update but hasn't documented the changes yet. How to fully disable PCA?
So since upgrading to 8.1, I've been getting messages out the ass about compatibility. One of them is this:
Naturally I know some stuff is gonna have to run in that mode until 8.1's been out for a while, but can I disable this from popping up somehow?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI just installed W 8.1 recently. It's having incompatibility issues with my Patriot ram stick. I contacted Patriot and they want my motherboard model. Problem is I can't find my motherboard model on 8.1
I looked for system information but they removed it. I'm going to all these sites that lead me to downloading these third party apps I don't even trust to find it.
Why exactly they removed system information? It was a very useful and easy tool to go to find information on your CPU. It seems like I'm one of the few who have that issue since I see only a few complaining about it though.
Anyway, I need to find motherboard model without disassembling my PC.
I have a Sony DVD camera (mdl DVR-HC85) that has USB and firewire cables for connection to a computer for the purpose of transferring video to computer programs. Both cables work fine with Windows XP. However, Windows 8 will not recognize the camera when connected by a USB cable. I was told by Sony that neither Windows Vista, Windows 7 nor Windows 8 will recognize the camera when using a USB cable.
I have a Dell computer with Windows 8 that does not have firewire nor can a firewire card be installed.

I've installed Quicken 2004 on Windows 8.1 in compatibility mode for Windows XP 3 to run as administrator. Everything seems to work well. All my data appears to have been restored including Home Inventory. I can download bank data.
Automatic backup works. I tested this by changing the system date to trigger the backup.
The infuriating thing is I cannot do a manual backup from the file menu. The dialogue box opens. I can complete the relevant fields but when I click OK the program freezes. There are no error messages.
Not sure if this is a Windows issue e.g. permissions or Quicken issue e.g looking for a file that doesn't exist. I have checked the 'Ready for archive' box of the folders, sub-folders, and files property boxes.

In windows 8.1, I installed the Lenovo Power Manager which is not yet available for this system, and I did it running it in compatibility mode, as described in the next link
Lenovo forums : Lenovo Power Manager in Windows 8 - Page 3 - Lenovo Community
and it got installed correctly, and seemed to work asking for a reboot that I did
The problem: I run into a BSOD and I believe it is due to this software (safe mode works ok)
So, as I try to unistall, and the uninstaller is called from "ADD or REMOVE PROGRAMS", all I get is again the message: "Warning : Cannot run on this system"
And of course, here there is not compatibility mode wizard .. How can I complete uninstall and clear this?
