View 1 RepliesI have an old XP program, xReminder Pro, that I have been using for many years. I am currently running it in Compatibility Mode on Windows 7 and it runs fine. On my Windows 10 test machine, this program will install and run from a "manual" start in Compatibility Mode (Windows XP SP3); but will not auto-start with Windows. I have tried the normal start with the program preferences, adding it to the Startup, and running a bat file right after boot up. None of these work. I have set the program to "Run as Administrator".

How to sort it short of removing all the updates. I have run a repair install and SFC /SCANNOW with no problems or change.
View 7 RepliesMy laptop, running Windows Ten from a clean install, has issues with the sleep function. About once a day, when I either put the computer to sleep or when it does it on its own, the screen will go black but the computer will not stop running. All the lights are on, the fan and disks keep running. Nothing works to turn the screen back on and my only option becomes to force a shut down.
I've tried tweaking all the power options in various ways, I've tried disabling/enabling hibernation/fast start and I've searched for an answer but I do not have one.
I've notice that on windows 10 and 8.1, task manager would show the my max cpu core speed is 2.3-2.4 ghz. However, my Core 2 Quad q8400 is rated at 2.66 ghz. I tried changing the power settings in windows and try lowering my cpu temperature, but my speed would never reach 2.66 ghz.

View 10 RepliesI am periodically experiencing an issue where the o button starts typing itself continuously until I either restart or lock the PC. It's not a keyboard issue, since it happens whether the keyboard is plugged in or not, even with a different keyboard.
I haven't yet found a way of triggering it, but once it starts, it happens quite often after each time I stop it.
title mentioned, BSOD while power on virtual machine. Error : Memory_management
View 5 RepliesThis seems to be a tedious process of going to the task view, then finding the window and right clicking and sending it to another desktop.
Is there something simpler? I was expecting a right click on the taskbar would give this option, but it does not. Is there a keyboard shortcut perhaps?
my virtual desktop icon missing in W10
see screen shot attached.
I can get desktops using Windows/Tab
Is it possible to have a single application, for example Outlook, appear on multiple virtual desktops? I use different desktops to separate the opened windows for multiple clients. However, something like Outlook would be applicable to all clients.
View 2 RepliesI downloaded Deus Ex Human Revolution DC, and after beating it, I wanted to go in with a trainer and commit some wanton shenanigans. I'm a simple man like that.
However, the trainer, which worked before, has suddenly refused to work by giving me the "Sorry, this application cannot run under a Virtual Machine." prompt.
Hyper V is already off and my Antivirus is disabled + Windows Defender. It should be working no problem. Sadly, no.
How to shut off this Virtual machine or fix the problem in some way?
So I dont currently have a USB drive, however I have the ISO files for windows 10. I want to install Windows 10 on a gaming PC im going to build in a few hours. All I got to work with is a 2-Sided USB Cable and a second laptop. Is there any way I can create say a virtual USB drive on my laptop, then mount windows 10 on it and plug that laptop into my new computer to install windows 10?
View 1 RepliesI have a couple of questions about W10:
1- How do you disable the login screen for the MS account? i went to netplwiz and disabled it but it still keeps asking for MS account password every time i open my PC.
2- Is it possible to use a virtual desktop on a 2nd monitor?
I need to configure my virtual memory but it's bugged.
View 1 Repliesin Windows 10 10586 the Virtual Memory window is missing some part of it, check it out:
I want to turn this feature off but I can't because the button to set between the different options is not visible. This visual bug happens in all versions of Windows 10 10586, and it doesn't matter the display resolution. How to fix this visual bug or turn Virtual Memory manually?
Virtual desktops but IMO shouldn't each desktop run an application unaware that another instance might be running on another desktop. The OS itself can keep track of shared storage areas etc so we aren't talking here about running separate virtual machines.
What I'm thinking of as an example is say I'm running EXCEL on VD1 and I'm downloading data from the web. On VD2 I should be able to start another instance of EXCEL and download data from another website.
BOTH applications should still run irrespective of which desktop is the active one. I get the impression that the NON active desktops don't still continue to run processes in the background if they are essentially a "shared process" like EXCEL.
I have a powerful laptop with Windows 10 Pro installed :
CPU : i7-4712HQ @2.3GhzRAM : 16 GBVideo : Nvidia GeForce GT 750M
When I switch between virtual desktops the animations are pretty laggy, which it's kinda weird, because on my Surface 3 Pro which is a low weaker than this laptop the animations are very smooth.
PS : Animation is not so slow, but it has some lag. I also have in the Intel and Nvidia Graphics all set up to high performance.
while trying to set up a virtual switch I discover I need to install the 'Hyper-v Extensible Virtual Switch' network protocol to enable the virtual switch manager. I install the protocol and go to enable it to only to get this message:
Ok, fine, I'll play along. After everything was disabled I checked off the Extensible virtual switch only to get this:
I can't enable the virtual switch protocol what so ever.
I've got windows 10 TP on my Hyper-V virtual machine on my Windows 8.1 . The problem is I need to get the VM to get connected to internet so I tried create an external virtual switch, but when I try to create it, it shows me an error -
"failed while adding virtual ethernet swith connections ethernet port {something...}
bind failed: catastrophic failure(0*8000FFFF)."
This happens when i assign external network provider as my Realtek RTL8723BE wireless LAN 802.11n PCI-E NIC. this is my wireless network adapter.
The switch is created when i assign the external network provider as Realtek PCIe GBE family controller, this is my ethernet adapter, but since there is no internet connection via ethernet, this is of no use to me.
My laptop is Lenovo z50-70, and windows 8.1
There is no correlation with the timing that I can see, but every now and then all CD drives (Including Virtual Drives) will show up in Win 10 device manager with the ominous "Yellow Triangle" and won't work. I've tried disabling and enabling each individual drive, uninstalling all drivers and rebooting, etc. Then I forget about it for a time, and next thing I know they are working again.
Using Win 10 x64, and this is the only issue I consistently have recurring problems with.

I am using the keyboard shortcut (CNTRL+WIN+arrows) to get to different virtual desktops. But I don't like the slide effect since it kinda makes me dizzy (I have issues with vertigo). Is there a way to just have it "snap" to the different desktops without any sort of transition effect?
View 2 Repliesone part before installing Windows 10. In creating a virtualbox you will see three lines with the top to fill in with name " Windows 10 Technical Preview " then second line with type --Microsoft Windows and the last one with version -- I wasn't sure which to pick the right operating system of my laptop. Well I do know that my operating system is Windows 7 Home Premium SP-1 64X but see several youtube videos show with Windows 8.1. Am I click with Windows 7.1 in the line. Is that correct.
View 4 RepliesI've been getting the following error : "The group or resource is not in the correct state to perform the requested operation" Things I've already done trying to solve the problem:
1) Clean install of Windows 10.
2) Made sure my WiFi network card doesn't go to Sleep, by disabling that option in the Power Management.
3) Have set hosted network mode to allow
4) Made sure that my network with internet access is set to sharing
Additional info: It was working fine untill some random windows update, after which the PC started getting BSOD when trying to host a network. Reinstalling drivers started giving me this error instead of BSOD. Then I rolled back to windows 8.1 and checked again. It was working flawlessly. I assumed it to be a driver problem, so I upgraded to Windows 10 again and this error is back.
I cant create a virtual wifi network using this command : netsh wlan start hostednetwork (the "set" command works)
the solution is to enable Microsoft Hosted Network Virtual Adapter which is missing , and yes i tried to show hidden devices ..
