DirectShow for Windows 8.1 Pro on Surface Pro 3

Good Morning,
I have a touch screen application which uses DirectShow for capturing a photo. This has been working fine for Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 on a desktop.
However we have recently started to use the application on a Surface Pro 3 and found that the camera functionality is not the same. Sometimes the photo will capture, upon re-capturing the preview is scaled a 1/4 of the original size, the camera will lock
out with a System.Excepton of "No combination of intermediate filters could be found to make the connection."
The application is built in C# Winforms. Is there a solution to capturing photo's which will work across Windows 8.1 Desktop and metro?
Thanks in advance.

Hi there @Andrea-dv7
Welcome to the HP Support Forums! It is a great place to find the help you need, both from other users, HP experts and other support personnel.
I understand that you are having some trouble with your system startup, with it sounds like an intermittent restart issue. I am happy to help with this, but I do need some more details as to what is happening.
Does the system restart like this regularly?
When it happens, are there any errors on the display, or a Blue Screen, or flashing LED patterns?
Have you noticed if the computer is excessively warm or hot when the restarts happen?
If there are any displayed error messages, please post any details you can.

Well it came installed on my brand new Windows 8 pro w530 I received 4 weeks ago and has never worked. When you try to open power manager it just crashes. If you uninstall it the Lenovo software just keep reinstalling it. If you uninstall the Lenovo PM driver but do not reboot you can then open Power Manager. The minute you reboot the Lenovo software reinstallls the driver.
Why would Lenovo install software on a brand new Windows 8 laptop that is broken and useless? Tech support is absolutely no help they transfer you to the software department which wants to charge you to fix a problem that Lenovo created!!! It is crazy!! I was hoping someone here could solve this problem or maybe someone at Lenovo would see this and get the problem resolved. Tech support has been useless. I reported the problem to them at least 5 times.

Problems installing Adobe acrobat 6.0 Pro on Surface Pro

I cannot complete the installation of Adobe acrobat 6.0 Pro on Surface Pro. The process stopped and the status bar is about 70%. I cannot close of cancel the process. It is stuck on my computer.

Is it running Win 8 and is it 32 or 64 bit OS? AA 6 is not listed as compatible with Win8 and you may very likely have to buy AA XI. Sorry, but AA 6 is too old for an upgrade.

PHotoshop Elements 12 won't install on either my Windows 7 computer or my Surface Pro 2 -- Lightroom installed just fine...what's the problem with PS Elements??

I've never had any issues installing software from a dvd onto the Surface Pro 2 or my windows 7 laptop-- why won't PS Elements 12 install on either of these machines??

Hi,
I have successfully installed PSE 12 on my Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 systems several times without any problem. (I keep doing the re-installs to test problems for other users).
You were running as an administrator weren't you?
I have also known problems with some Internet Security suites and the recommendation is to disable them while installing PSE.
Since you are not mentioning any error message, you could have a duff DVD which is why I suggested trying the download. The download and the DVD are the same program.
The main problems seems to be signing in and getting the serial number to work but you aren't reporting those faults.

Adobe Acrobat XI Standard for Windows upgrade to Adobe Acrobat XI Pro for OS X

I have changed the platforms, from win to mac, and Adobe Acrobat is required for my work. I own Adobe Acrobat XI Standard for Windows and I was interested if I could change the platform to OS X, but unfortuantelly XI Standard is not available for mac. Also, I could not find a way on Adobe.com site to upgrade XI Standard to XI Pro and then change the platform.
Please advise.

I believe Adobe have been known to deal with "crossgrades" before, but you would need to contact sales in person to deal with this.

Product key for Windows 8.1 in Yoga 2 Pro

How can I find the product key for Windows 8.1 in the Yoga 2 Pro?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi mpweinberg,
Welcome!
Since Windows 8, OEM preinstalled operating systems store and encrypt the product key in the uEFI or BIOS firmware chip. The product key is no longer on the COA sticker to help prevent theft. Whenever you need to reset or reinstall the same operting system on your OEM PC, the product key will automatically be applied and activated. Have you tried running Belarc Advisor? I believe that will show you the product key along with other important information about your system. http://belarc.com/

What are the Windows Experience Index numbers for Windows 7 running on a MacBook Pro 13 Retina Display?

I am curious to know what speed those running Windows 7 on a MacBook Pro 13" Retina Display are obtaining. I am interested in purchasing a MacBook Pro 13" Retina (i7) and will be running Windows 7 frequently since some of my business software only runs under Windows. I have heard that the best PC is a Mac. Just wanted to confirm the Windows Experience Index values are for those MacBook Pro users are seeing when running Windows 7. The Windows 7 Experience Index numbers include one for Processor speed, Memory (RAM) speed, Graphics speed, Gaming graphics speed, and Primary Disk speed.

Hi - I connected my superdrive but it does not seem to be working - now all I get is a black screen with the prompt - no bootable device; insert boot disk and press any key.
Any thoughts on this? I put an ISO image on my desktop and also created an image on a USB drive - however it has encryption software on it which did not get overwritten so Im not sure if this is why that won't boot.
Does anyone know if the Superdrive can't be used?
My macbook is 3 weeks old - it is all the latest and greatest stuff...

In Windows 8 on a Microsoft Surface Pro scrolling on the touch screen highlights text instead of scrolling - how doI fix that?

This happens about 90% of the time. Going to the same websites in IE or Chrome that problem doesn't occur. What's wrong with my Firefox settings? And how do I fix this.

I'm afraid I'm not sure whether they will work. They will at least need to have been updated by the add-on developer to work with v26.
There may be other limitations. I know that in early builds only add-ons which use the Addons SDK would work. This is still a development pre-alpha build so you should expect some issues / limitations until it reaches full release. I believe that is expected in December this year.
If you are willing to give it a go I recommend installing it and testing out what is possible. Installing Nightly will not affect your current stable channel install so if you don't like Nightly you can just uninstall it and go back to using Firefox 23.
I hope that helps.

How do I reinstall Windows 8.1 Pro On A Surface Pro 2?

I just acquired a Surface Pro 2 with a 512 GB SSD. I need to create another 410 GB partition and tried to shrink the Windows (C:) partition. Unfortunately, even through it only currently uses around 20 GB it will not let me shrink
it below 241 GB. I need to get it down to 60 GB.
Is there anyway to do this without reinstalling? If not, what do I have to do to reinstall?

I apologize for the duplicate post but I mistakenly posted in the Windows 7 Hardware Compatibility forum by mistake.

I am trying to determine if it is possible to replace Lenovo Thinkpads some running Windows 7 & some running Windows 8.1 with Surface Pro 2s running Windows 8.1. The Surface Pro 2 has significantly better resolution and a slightly
larger SSD plus the touch screen. Unfortunately, the Lenovos are partitioned with a 40 GB C: drive and a 407 GB V: drive and the applications expect that.
Is there any way to do this without reinstalling? If not, what do I have to do to reinstall and create a different deployment image?

Surface Pro 3 / "Windows did not detect a properly installed network adapter"

Hi all,
I've been running the Windows 10 Technical Preview (9926) on my Surface Pro 3 successfully
since January. Unfortunately, I lost all internet connectivity today.
The problem started when I noticed the type cover wasn't working (pressing keys on the type
cover wasn't registering any typing on my screen) and my USB mouse wasn't working either. I tried removing and reattaching the type keyboard but this didn't fix the issue. I had to use the accessibility on-screen keyboard to sign into Windows (thankfully touch
was still working). Once I signed in, I still didn't have typing or cursor ability, so I decided to restart the computer.
Then it got worse. I noticed the Surface Pro 3 was stuck on "restarting" and wouldn't
actually restart. Since it wasn't responding, I held down the power button for about 10 seconds until it turned off. When I turned it back on, the type cover and mouse started working again.
Unfortunately, this is when the WIFI problems began. I had WIFI for a few seconds, and then
I lost internet. I disconnected/reconnected but there was a yellow triangle telling me there was some sort of problem. So I restarted the Surface Pro 3.
When it came back on, there were suddenly NO connections available at all. Opening the "Network
& Internet" settings page gave me the message "Windows did not detect a properly installed network adapter". And here I am, without internet on my Surface Pro 3, borrowing my friend's computer so I can type this message (he is also running
Windows 10 build 9926 on his laptop and is able to connect to my WIFI with no problems, whereas my Surface Pro 3 cannot even detect any networks). I have not dropped or damaged the SP3 in any way, and there have been no storms or power outages or anything
of that sort. Any ideas what could have happened to the WIFI on my Surface Pro 3?
Thanks for your help...
Ethan

Hi Ethan,
Currently, there are a few compatibility issue between the current hardware and Windows 10 Technical Preview (9926 build), this is mostly related to driver compatibility issue.
I suggest you download the latest network adapter driver package to install, when it is finished, check if it appears under Device Manager.
Surface Pro 3, Surface Pro 2, and Surface Pro firmware and driver packs
https://www.microsoft.com/surface/en-us/support/networking-and-connectivity/install-wireless-drivers
You can check if you can install the latest firmware package for your device.
Here is an article to talk about such things:

Scaling support for surface pro 3

I'm running the latest version of Windows 8.1 and the latest version of iTunes 12 for Windows. I was hoping with the update, scaling support would be included for high DPI devices like the Surface Pro 3. I was in the Apple store and the retina macbook pros are fine, so they obviously have the technology available to support it. I talked to an employee, and they said wait for iTunes 12 to come out, and it hasn't fixed anything. High DPI displays are still not supported, and I am getting quite angry and impatient. I prefer Windows for my desktop experience, and it seems like Apple is alienating Windows users here. I am going to start looking for alternatives to iTunes in the meantime. Can someone help me out? I know I can disable scaling under properties, but this just makes everything very small, and is very annoying,

I have Microsoft Office 2007 for Windows XP and just got a Macbook Pro. Is there any way to install MO2007 on my new Mac?

Just purchased a new Mac and need Word, etc. etc. I was wondering how to/if I could install the Microsoft Office 2007 disc on my Mac.

The only real reason you might need to install Office 2007 on your Mac is if you need Microsoft Access, and don't want to go through Filemaker Pro for Windows to migrate Access to Filemaker Pro. Once in Filemaker Pro format, it can be put on Filemaker Pro for the Mac. Numerous applications for download and online offer free to nearly free access to Microsoft Word, Excel and Powerpoint documents, including LibreOffice, OpenOffice, Neo Office, Google Docs, and Zoho Docs. This would be much cheaper than installing a database on your Mac and PC, if Access is not part of the equation.

Surface Pro 2 iCloud Mail won't scroll

I have tried to set up my iCloud mail in Windows 8 Mail application without proper success (for example, I can't see any sent items, but there are other glitches too) so I decided to use web browser access. However, whether in Chrome or IE or Firefox, when I log in to mail I can see the first few messages in any mailbox but I can't scroll down to see older ones: there is no scroll bar and no scrollability so I am limited to seeing just a few messages in each box unless I reverse display order, in which case I can see the last few.
THis is a 'biggie' for me: I have purchased the Surface Pro in order to have a travel machine with good photoshop and Lightroom ablities but also a tablet like form factor. I also like teh stylus for use in image editing. But I really do neeed reliable email while travelling and I am not going to stump up for an Office subscription for full mail facilities on a machine I will use for maybe four weeks a year.
Does anyone have any clues?
Thanks in advance!

I don't know if this behavior has changed recently , but to scroll down, you have to be able to drag to below the bottom of the window. If you, and the other users of the machine, are the types who like to keep the main Mail window open to maximum height (as the maximize button on Mail's title bar will do), and you're viewing messages in that window, then you will not be able to scroll while dragging down. Try resizing the window and leaving a small space below the window.

Surface Pro Driver injection no longer working under MDT 2013

Since upgrading to MDT 2013 we are experiencing an issue with deploying Windows 8.1 to our Surface Pros. The deployment seems to be ignoring driver group settings in CS.ini and it basically injects no drivers. We are following the guide Microsoft posed here:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=38826
So I'm confused as to where we are going wrong. Here is the section in question from CS.ini:
[ByModel]
Subsection=Model-%Model%
[Model-Surface with Windows 8 Pro]
OSDComputerName=TAB%SerialNumber%
DriverGroup001="Windows 8.1 x64\Microsoft\Surface Pro"
DriverSelectionProfile=Nothing
XResolution=1920
YResolution=1080
Incidentally the computer name is getting set so i know this block is working. Any idea why the drivers would get skipped over?

I've been deploying to Surface tablets just fine and deployed to a Surface 3 just a couple days ago without any issues, but I do follow Johan's "Total control" way of managing drivers. http://www.deploymentresearch.com/Research/tabid/62/EntryId/112/MDT-2013-Lite-Touch-Driver-Management.aspx
I'd recommend you go that way as well as you'll most likely have fewer issues. Depending on your situation you may also want to make use of the "ModelAliasExit" script and use Make variables or you can just follow the method above exactly as is.
