Windows 7 Slideshow Not Working In Windows 8?

Mar 2, 2013

I've a brand new Asus laptop running (x64) Windows 8 (Ver 6.2.92). As I hated Win 8 when I got it & using it hasn't changed my mind, I've just been switching to Win 7 for anything I'm doing. I can't remember if the desktop slideshow ever worked but it's certainly not done so for quite some time now since I got it at Christmas. I'm well versed in using it (as I use it on my main desktop machine) but on the laptop have found that it sticks on one image (regardless of power plan changes). If I go into the slideshow & make any changes it will change the display image once on saving & then stick again. I also can't change it manually using the Right Click Next desktop background method, so have no choice but to just revert to XP mode of having a single image !

Laptop Won't Turn Off Screen And Play Slideshow

Nov 13, 2013

I have a problem with my fresh install of Windows 8.1. In the settings menu I have enabled the option to play a slideshow on the lockscreen and that when my PC is inactive it will show the lock screen instead of turning off the screen. For testing purposes I have set the screen turn off timer to 1 minute, but here's what happens:

After that one minute, the screen will dim slightly for a brief moment as if it wants to turn off the screen/go to the lockscreen slideshow. Then one minute later, it will do the exact thing again. Like it's being waked the second it wants to turn off the screen.

I have a fairly new Dell with windows 8.1 on it. Internet explorer stopped working all of a sudden the other day. No warning at all. When I open the desktop version, nothing happens at all. No tab, no pageload, nothing.I can click the gear and only file, safety, and compatibility view settings are available. I have reset internet explorer settings to no avail through internet options. ?I have scanned with a few different tools and nothing has fixed it. Also, the window outline colors have turned to a reddish pink.

Windows 8 Search Is Not Working Properly?

Nov 5, 2012

Neither the start screen nor the search feature within Explorer will return any results if the files I want to look for are on my secondary HDD. This is a bit of a problem as all of my documents, pictures, videos, downloads etc are on this secondary drive.

I can even go into the documents library and search using Explorer, and it still won't find anything that I search for.

Setup Installation :: Windows 8 OEM Key Not Working?

Feb 5, 2014

I have a lenovo laptop that came with Windows 8 x64.

I used ProduKey to extract the license key of my Windows 8 x64.

I downloaded a Windows 8.1 x64 ISO and tried to do a clean install of Windows 8.1 using a USB. It asked me for a key, so I put in the key that was extracted. It said the key was in valid.

I also went to this website, Upgrade Windows with only a product key - Microsoft Windows Support, and tried to use the key for both Windows 8 and 8.1, but both of them didn't work.

I booted the USB in legacy mode (NOT UEFI mode)

Jun 6, 2014

Running Windows 8 on my ASUS laptop and all of a sudden it has started opening all folders in a new window... every time without fail... even though the folder options are showing "Open in same window" selected.

For the record, I did try unselecting and then reselecting the same window option, applied it to all folders, rebooted my system... and nothing. Everything still opens in a new window every time.

Windows 8 Library Is No Longer Working

Apr 24, 2013

My computer is a bit like the car; turn either of them on, and expect it to do its 'thing' but when it doesn't.... stuck!

My windows 8 library is not working...

Anyway, I've researched how to delete and then reinstall/program. What I cannot understand is why this library facility has so many awful reviews on the forum, who are slatting this facility and how it eventually clogs up memory with duplicated files.

there are many attempting to disable or totally eradicate it from the computer There is a "registry hack" website for windows 7, which disables the library.

Eclipse Portable Is Not Working In Windows 8

Jun 16, 2013

I swapped a newly-bought ssd into my hdd1 slot, and put the hdd it replaced into my hdd2 slot today. Installed win 8 x64 and did all updates, personal config, etc. Everything seems to be fine and stable.

Problem is, I keep getting the message: "A Java Environment [blah blah] must be available in order to run Eclipse. No Java virtual Machine was found after searching the following locations: C:EclipsePortableAppEclipsejreinjavaw.exe javaw.exe in your current PATH" when trying to run Eclipse Portable.

Now the same installation package works fine in win 7, which I re-checked by booting into my hdd. In win7, Task Manager does not show any java related processes when running portable Eclipse, to which I assume is part of the portability. Thus interestingly enough, there was never a jre folder in the installation, and certainly no javaw.exe.

Anyways, using my win7 system, I can actually launch the portable eclipse I installed on my Windows 8 ssd just fine. Same goes for if I install onto a flashdrive: works in win7 on hdd, gives the above error in Windows 8 on ssd.

Regular eclipse, using java jdk installed in program files does work on Windows 8, I just prefer the portable version.

EuP Function Is No Longer Working Under Windows 8.1

Dec 28, 2013

I recently upgraded to Windows 8.1 from Windows 7 and noticed my USB 3 WD Passport external hard drive stays powered on as well as my round LED's (Lock/Start/Reset). With Windows 7 I just enabled EuP in the bios and that powered everything down when I shut down including the LED's. Now with Windows 8.1 that function doesn't work. They all stay on. I tried disabling all the power functions in Power Management for the USB but still, the power stays on. For some reason the EuP enable function does not work like before. I believe its related to Windows 8.1 since it worked fine with Windows 7. For some reason they locked USB power after shutdown.

PS: I already tried resetting the bios to no effect.
