However, today I installed Media Center, and now I see Windows 8 Pro with Media Center Build 9200. Why did this all of a sudden appear? How do I remove it?

Setup Installation :: Activate Retail Windows 8.1 With WMC Key

Jan 9, 2014

I know you can activate a clean install of win 8.1 with a win 8 product key but you see, I don't have one - I only have the WMC upgrade key that got installed over it when the previous owner of my PC added the Windows Media Center feature (which I read was free once upon a time). You see I have a retail Windows 8.1_RTM_x86.iso disk image and I want to be able to do a clean install.

Setup Installation :: Updating Retail Windows 8 With 8.1 RTM

Sep 10, 2013

I have a machine that has an activated retail windows 8 that came from the upgrade offer.

I just downloaded the 8.1 RTM from technet and burned the ISO install media to a DVD.

Will it work to upgrade the retail windows 8 with the RTM DVD by simply doing a setup.exe from within windows 8?

Will it retain the original permanent retail key after the upgrade?

Also, I'm assuming that any additional changes to the 8.1 will come through online updates so it will get caught up to whatever is released to the general public?

8.1 - Number Of Opened Windows (Combine When Taskbar Is Full)

Jul 7, 2014

I used to have Vista, when I had multiple windows open in an application (and they were combined in the taskbar) the number of windows used to be displayed next to the icon. Now I have Windows 8.1, this feature seems to have disappeared and the only way I can see how many windows are open is to manually count them one-by-one. The only difference when the application combines the windows is that is looks to have 3 windows combined on the right hand side of the application in the taskbar.

Is there any way to get this number back? I think this feature may have been removed from 8.1, but if it has is there a workaround?

How To Change Large Number Of File Names

Sep 20, 2013

I have a directory in which I have a large number of genealogical records, 756 to be exact. The files are numbered FIN_1881_001_001 to FIN_1881_001_756.

Due to an error when saving these files, I need to change these 756 file numbers to FIN_1891_001_001 to FIN_1891_001_756.

Is there any easy way of doing this without having to change each file name individually.

How To Remove Windows 8.1 / Build 9600 Watermark

Oct 19, 2013

I just upgraded my legal copy of Windows 8 to Windows 8.1. I've also installed all the currently available updates. The problem I'm faced now is the watermark on my wallpaper near the clock (Bottom-right side of the desktop). It currently says: "Windows 8.1 SecureBoot isn't configured corrently Build 9600" .

I have to admit, I have disabled secure boot. I don't know if I'm allowed to talk about this in these forums, but let's just say I have another OS installed an my PC (I use GRUB to load the two Operating Systems)...

Debugging :: Multiple Different BSOD's On New Build With Windows 8.1

Sep 15, 2014

I built a new computer for my girlfriend, which of course ran fine at my house for 4 days, and even passed 12 hours of prime95. She lives over an hour away, and since I left a few days ago, she has had multiple problems with BSOD's. It seems to occur far more often when powering the computer on, and then it often takes multiple attempts to get the pc running - but once it is running, it seems to be somewhat stable. It seems to be somewhat random whether it will power up normally.

Some basic hardware info:
Intel Pentium G3258 with stock cooler running at stock speed (3.2)
Corsair XMS 2x4GB DDR3 1333
Gigabyte GA-H81M-DS2V motherboard
Hanns-G HT231DPBU Touchscreen monitor
Plextor M6S SATA3 (6Gb/s) solid state
Corsair CX430M PSU

I am not sitting at the PC now, but I did manage to get her to send me the minidumps. However, I am not able to figure out what the error is, or even how to start looking for it. I have 6 minidumps, mostly different days, with 6 different errors. I am attaching the minidumps here. I've run them through online crash analyzers, and can't find a pattern.

Windows 8.1 New Build Slow Wake From Sleep?

Mar 16, 2014

When waking my computer from sleep it takes 8 seconds for the screen to come on, then nothing responds for another 25 seconds. I fixed all the errors in event manager, updated the bios, installed all the newest drivers, changed BIOS settings. All to no avail.

All the components (except the MB and CPU) were recycled from my last motherboard which would be ready to go immediately from sleep. My previous build (which ran great) was also Windows 8.1 but the motherboard died. I have no password. The lock screen is disabled. Disabled suspend, and shut off hybrid sleep.

Why the lag? Is there any way to find out what's slowing me down?

MB p8Z77-V Pro
Memory (not on the approved list):
CMX8GX3M2A1600C9 4GIG 2 sticks
CMX8GX3M4A1600C9 2GIG 2 sticks
i7-3770 CPU
BIOS 2104
OS Win 8.1 Pro on a Kingston SSD, data on a Seagate Barracuda ST3000DM001
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 650 Ti BOOST

Change Number Of Emails Displayed Per Page In Outlook?

Sep 21, 2014

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.
