Display problems in Microsoft Windows Developer Preview

I'm using Firefox 10.0.1 in Microsoft Windows Developer Preview. The menu bar sometimes gets discolored or the colors get all mixed up while browsing, especially when switching tabs. I'm sure that all my drivers are up to date, graphics drivers are properly installed. Although the drivers are meant for Windows 7 but they should work on Windows Developer Preview (I guess?).

Yes all drivers has been testet.
The problems has occured on many nvidia drivers (including toshibas own), in many games and different directx versions.
Sometimes the graphics is fine, but at other times there is a lot of green on the screen. Maybe it is a heat or overload problem?
Is it possible to set the cooling fan to max rpm and always on? Just to see if that make any difference.

Private forum for kinect for windows developer preview

Hello all,
I received notification email from Microsoft regarding Kinect for Windows developer preview. In the beginning of the content, it is written:
"Until the program agreement is signed you cannot get access to the pre-release sensor, the SDK and documentation, or the private forum. Please check your junk or span folder. If you still are not able to locate the Docusign agreement please let us
know and we will resend it to you."
After checking my junk folder, I could not find any, so I replied the email asking to resend the document, I got email response suggesting me to use technical support in the private forum for 'Kinect for Windows developer preview'. But if I clicked the link,
I got message "no results were found". I think I still don't have access to the private forum.
I appreciate any suggestion.
Thank you in advance.

Kinect forums are over here.

Library Preview displays at lower resolution than Develop Preview

I recently bought a Nikon D7100.
I took some test shots and imported the images to Lightroom 4.4, then generated 1:1 previews for all the images.
Previews zoomed to 1:1 in Library Mode are noticeably soft. The image below is a screen shot of the Library preview:
Moving to Develop View produces a higher-resolution 1:1 preview. The image below is a screen shot of the Develop preview:
Look at the bricks and window screens to see the difference.
This difference occurs immediately after import (with a User Preset applied during import). Once any Develop work is done, the Library preview updates and displays at full resolution.
This problem makes doing initial editing/selection of images time consuming, because I can't determine the sharpness/quality of imported images until I've done some kind of Develop adjustment on each image.
If anyone has a circumvention or solution to this problem I will appreciate receiving it.
Thanks,

You said "then generated 1:1 previews for all the images," so I assume you manually selected Library> Previews> Render 1:1 Previews from inside the Libray module. Selecting 'Render Previews : 1:1' in the LR Import module under 'File Handling' will automatically render the previews on import.
There are two possibilites why you are seeing low-res 1:1 Library previews:
1) The Previews were still being created in the background after import, and you are trying to edit images that do not yet have a 1:1 preview.
2) You inadvertently cancelled the 1:1 preview rendering process by a) closing the progress bar in the upper lefthand, or b) closing LR before completion of 1:1 Preview Rendering.
I would NOT reccomend discarding 1:1 Previews since that will create the very situation you are complaing about in this post. If you are low on hard drive free space then this recommendation would be helpful.

MBP display problems, only in Windows running 3D programs

3D works well in Mac envt, eg WoW; however display fades out & becomes unusable 20 mins into 3D game (Total War Rome) in Windows envt. This is a brand new MBP, so I'd think the drivers for the ATI Mobi Radeon x1600 should be up to date. Any ideas. Direct x9 was installed.

Did you use the Boot Camp or ATi Catalyst drivers? Regardless, you might want to post this in the Boot Camp Forums…

I Got this off of the Windows Developer Preview Forums
Since this is a preview of the operatingsystem, iTunes may not work with the Windows Developer Preview.
Try these steps, however when you start the sync don't have the deviceplugged in yet.
1) Close iTunes
2) Go to Services
3) Stop "Apple Mobile Device" service
4) Plug device in, wait for the 1 or 2 chimes
5) Start "Apple Mobile Device"
6) Open iTunes
7) When Sync you might get an "Unable to receive data from syncservices", but it should sync.
You might also check in the Apple iTunes forums to see if anyone has come upwith a suggestion.

Microsoft Office Developer Tools for Visual Studio 2013 on Windows 10 Technical Preview

Hi, I've never developed a plugin for Office before. I've downloaded the technical preview of Windows 10 and have it running via Boot Camp on my MacBook (Looks good! I'll buy it when it comes out). Obviously with this being in beta it's understandable that
there are problems, so this is just a heads up on one particular problem. Maybe there's already a solution or workaround?
I've downloaded Visual Studio 2013 Community Edition, brought a copy of Microsoft Office Home And Student 2013 and am currently in the process of installing Microsoft Office Developer Tools for Visual Studio 2013.
The only problem though is that when I try to install it I get the following message:
http://s22.postimg.org/dxh1gtra9/Install_Problem_Office_Plugin_Tools.png
Here is the log:
http://pastebin.com/7wWkSfjF
I also tried to download the file directly and run that.
http://s3.postimg.org/tj9vb660j/Install_Problem_Office_Plugin_Tools2.png
I right clicked on the file and noticed an options called "Troubleshoot Compatibility". There was a wizard, and I ran through the wizard a number of times through different routes but none of them worked. I was unable to find the option which turned
off compatibility mode. I then searched for answers online which told me to do some things in the regedit program but that didn't seem to solve the problem.
Anyway, I understand that this is a beta version of Windows 10 and that there are going to be problems but thought it would be best to let you know. Perhaps I should just bite the bullet and buy Windows 8.
Many thanks,
Lawrence

Microsoft Band Functionality Issues and Windows Phone Developer Preview

I just wanted to post this since I ran into this issue and after spending my evening dealing with it wanted to share what I learned. I picked up a Microsoft Band for myself and my wife. I'm running the developer preview on my Lumia 920 and have
been for awhile now. The band has been working really well for me and I hadn't had any issues. My wife has a new Lumia 1520 and wasn't in the developer preview. Her band was fine for a couple of days but then stopped connecting to her phone. The Bluetooth
wouldn't connect. I spent over an hour on the phone with Microsoft support which was pretty helpful (I do appreciate that it is US based support and not out in India). But during the troubleshooting I did with the support tech he mentioned that there are features
that only work if you have the developer preview. Things such as Facebook and Twitter tiles on the Band only work with the latest version of WP 8.1 that you can get through the developer preview. However it also appears that the Band's other
functions such as Cortana and Text/Email notifications work much better as well when you have the newer version of 8.1 with the Developer Preview. So I just wanted to put that out there, if you are having any issues with your Band sign up for the
Developers Preview and update your phone and you should see improvements.
Vincent Sprague

Can anyone tell me why I have not mail option under Manage Tiles? I am running with the Develop Preview on a Lumia 1020. I am now running the developer preview update, I hope this fixes the issue but it seems it should just be an app issue smh.

Windows 8.1 apps downloaded during developer preview install in Chinese on RTM (MS requsted I post this here for script to fix this)

Hello
Ever since updating to the RTM version of Windows 8.1 on every PC I have updated and signed into using my Microsoft account whenever I try to install any 8.1 app I installed onto the developer preview version it will always install in Chinese which makes
using the app impossible for me.
This happens on all PCs I have updated/used including:
Surface RT (Windows 8.1 RT)
Surface 2 (Windows 8.1 RT)
Dell OptiPlex 990 (Windows 8.1 Pro)
Dell OptiPlex 790 (Windows 8.1 Pro)
Sony Tap 20" (Windows 8.1 Pro)
The language settings of the Microsoft store and all the computers are all set to UK English and as soon as I do a fresh install of the UK version of Windows 8.1 and sign into my Microsoft account then certain apps will always install in Chinese (when in
the store it says you already own this app and can install it on this PC - when I do it is in Chinese. When the app has not been installed before or was not installed when I had the developer preview then it will install in English).
This has been driving me mad for months and I previously posted this question back in October in the Office 2013 forums as I first noticed the issue with the OneNote app but it was never resolved:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/office/en-US/448670ae-4494-4a55-8cee-d9f1c9873db7/onenote-windows-81-app-changed-to-chinese-and-cannot-work-out-how-to-change-to-english?forum=officeitpro#448670ae-4494-4a55-8cee-d9f1c9873db7
I then posted it a few days ago here:
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows8_1-windows_store/windows-81-apps-downloaded-during-developer/5dcd0df7-edfe-420e-8737-6a48922969e1
I have now been asked by a Microsoft Support engineer to post the question here as they said a script can be provided which I can use to fix this.
I think I just need to clear the fact that I have previously installed these apps as maybe some bug in the developer preview set them to Chinese and it seems to remember this setting. I cannot understand any Chinese so this makes these apps unusable.
The only other option I can think of is to create a new Microsoft account but I would rather not have to do this.
Some of the apps affected include the OneNote app and the HP scanner app. I have uninstalled most others and found alternatives.
Thanks
Robin

Hello jrv
I managed to run the script but cannot really see how it is any different to uninstalling the apps in the normal way except for the fact that you can uninstall multiple apps at once.
This exact same problem happens on a surface 1, a surface 2 and multiple machines running either Pro or Enterprise. It is not one machine but every machine running 8.1.
I have not upgraded from the Developer Preview version on any of my machines and always do a fresh install but what I am saying is that I did use the same Microsoft account during that time and it seems to have some record of the apps I installed at that
time and thinks I want them installed now in Chinese.
The only thing in common on the 7 machines I have tried (including the 2 surfaces) is that I have joined them to my Microsoft account and the problem seems to be with the Microsoft account and not with all the machines.
To replicate this I can go to any Windows 8.1 machine and join it to my Microsoft account and this will put certain apps from the store into Chinese and I can find no way to stop this. I am pretty confident that the issue is with the Microsoft account or
a setting that is synchronising from there.
The workaround is to sign into a different Microsoft account and this installs them correctly on the same machine.
I would appreciate any help with clearing out my history of installed apps without having to create a new Microsoft account.
Thanks

Windows 8.1 update Developer Preview from Microso...

If i update Windows 8.1 update for Nokia Lumia 925 from Developer whether it affects the warranty of the device.
If any problems whether nokia will support us. I have device having warranty for another 9 months.
If i update it now whether we will get offical stable release once it is rolled out
Solved!
Go to Solution.

The word from Microsoft is that it may void your warranty so there is no guarantee as to whether it will or won't, it is entirely at your own risk. Nokia says it will likely void your warranty but again that isn't confirmation that it will void the warranty. I have yet to see a case of warranty service being refused on a device running a developer preview.
If you update now you will be updated to the official consumer release and the Nokia Cyan update, probably in June.

MacBook 7,1 CS4206a audio driver crashes on Windows 8 Developer Preview

I'm experiencing crash on about every 20minutes on Windows 8 Developer Preview.(MacBook 7,1 late 2010 model)(BootCamp 4.0.0 installed)
It seems that Built-In audio driver is the one that causes the problem.
I disabled CS4206a driver in Driver Manager to prevent that.
But I really want my sounds back.
I've also tried CS4207driver from Cirrus Logic, and a old driver.
but none seems to be helping.
Any advice??

Thank you all for the replies. Unfortunatly, I found that audio driver is not the problem.
After disablling, removing the audio driver from the system32/drivers, the time til to get crash has indeed EXTENDED, but it still crashes..
misalaram, thank you for the idea. Formatted windows 8 and installed JUST the graphics card driver directly from the nvidia. Still crashes..
I think it is sort of like kernel panic. Which microsoft has said that they implemented multi-tasking capable kernel. I think somthing is unstable..

Problem with System Metrics SM_CXSIZEFRAME + SM_CXPADDEDBORDER in Windows 10 Preview (Build 10041)

Maybe this forum is the wrong place to ask something about Windows 10 Preview, but I did not find a dedicated place to report
programming problems as opposed to user problems:
I program/maintain a 32-bit desktop (WIN32 API) application and try it now on Windows 10 Preview build 10041. I calculate the size of a window border with the help of the GetSystemMetrics function, using the constants SM_CXSIZEFRAME and SM_CXPADDEDBORDER.
Originally, I only used SM_CXSIZEFRAME. This returned 4 pixels instead of the expected 8 pixels that I got on all previous windows versions up to Windows 8.1. Then I learned that already since Windows Vista one is expected to add the value of SM_CXPADDEDBORDER
to get the full border size. (SM_CXSIZEFRAME alone only continued to work on Vista and beyond thanks to a little compatibility hack by Microsoft, with SM_CXSIZEFRAME still returning the full border size and SM_CXPADDEDBORDER returning
yet 0, at least for 32-bit programs like mine.)
Assuming that Microsoft finally switched off that compatibility measure on Windows 10 I query and add SM_CXPADDEDBORDER now as well. Unfortunately this does not solve my problem, as that system metric returns 0.
Just to be on the sure side, I declared my program to support Windows 10 by using an embedded manifest and using the corresponding <compatibility> / <supportedOS> line with the Windows 10 GUID - this did not help either.
As querying and adding those two system metric values is rather trivial (no need to include code in this question, I think), I don't have the slightest idea what
I could do wrong here, this looks like Preview bug affecting 32-bit programs to me...

I regret to inform you, that you have to live with this error for ever. Microsoft won't fix it... we reported an error of the Windows Error Reporting system (exists since Windows 8) and provided a reproduction (an application with one printed page of code,
so very small and easy). It has never been fixed. 3 developers at Microsoft are involved and they confirmed, that it's a bug ... but... no chance. It's a strange company... I don't know what they mean with "we listen to our customers".
PS: ja, nöd grad hilfriich mini Kommentär, aber die Type triibed eim eifach in Wahnsinn!! ... schinbar nöd nur öschtlich vo Bade, sondern au weschtlich

Windows 8.1 developer preview update error: 80188308

I tried to download the newest update for developers but cannot complete the update during,installation. I kept on receiving the same message : Update couldn't be completed.80188308. It suggests that its a temporary problem and directs me to download the
update again. I've done this for about 6 times and its still not working. I've also tried restarts.and soft resets. Thanks in advance! I have a nokia lumia 920 running on Lumia black with 24 GB of free space

hello:

Nokia Software Recovery Tool not save your data.pless make backup
I think this error is not current update pakeg,It may you update to wp8.1 long time befor.
maybe MS can not find witch times
大家好：
我的手机是lumia 820.升级推送的预览版的也是出现错误代码“80188308”。尝试了很多次，都是失败了
我曾经在“关于”--->"重置"。。。还原过去，但是发现还是不行，后来才发现是还原到了wp8.1.这个是之前升级后的，所以是没有办法回到wp8.0
1 昨天晚上下载了Nokia Software Recovery Tool ,然后安装在计算机上，之后连接手机，识别后，开始下载安装文件
差不多有1.58G，如果我没有记错。这个操作不会保留你的手机上的任何数据，所以你需要做好备份，sd卡上的貌似音乐和图片什么的都在，地图和应用没有了
2 系统恢复到8.0后，开始一步一步升级，终于早今天早晨的时候成功了，当然我是一边睡觉，一边升级了，厉害吧？
于是现在成功了同志们，你们也阔仪尝试一下。不过应用什么的重新安装吧。
w-love
