For those upgraded to Windows 10 & VirtualBox is crashing (Some Tips)

You may want to create this as a how-to.

Hi, I just upgraded to Windows 10 and no surprise my Windows XP as a guests OS in VBox did not work and ended up with "Cannot load R0 module C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox/VBoxDD2R0.r0:" error. Long story short, whoever faces such issues should trying these steps :-1. Uninstall the old version if running 4.3.302. Install the latest version 5.0 from http://virtualbox.org3. In case if the guest OS profile is already loaded then its fine, otherwise load the guest OS once again.4. Before starting the guest OS, make sure you disable your third party antivirus and Windows Firewall to completely OFF 5. Voila, Vbox should work normally for your Guest OS and now you can resume the AV and Firewall. Also you can use VBox normally and does not need to keep disabling AV & Firewall all the time, it is just required for first time.

For those who run Windows 8 with bootcamp: Do you update windows 8, with windows update? I have the latest bootcamp drivers, and never checked for updates on windows. Do you normally update windows 8?

Windows 8 has been running very well after installing it with bootcamp and its latest drivers.
I just have never updated Windows 8 itself, (windows has never checked for updates), and just has been
using it bare. Do you update windows 8 to the latest updates with windows 8, and have any problems
with the updates? Just curious before I start updating it for once.

You have to update Windows to the latest version with Windows Update and keep it updated, because this is a matter of security. Microsoft provides a lot of security updates and you have to install them even if you have got an antivirus. Then you can find other updates, and if you want to install Windows 8.1, just install all updates with Windows Update, and then go to the Windows Store and download Windows 8.1.
Apple says that Windows 8.1 is not supported by Boot Camp, but people say it works without any problem with the most recent drivers, so I do not find any risk after upgrading to Windows 8.1.

After upgrading to Windows 8.1 iTunes Crashes

As long as I don't try to access iTunes store, I can open iTunes. I've deleted every trace of iTunes, including the users/username/AppData/AppleComputer/Local and Roaming folders,and everything in MyMusic folder except for the music and re-downloaded and re-installed and it crashes. Now it won't even come up to local iTunes without trying to access the iTunes Store and it crashes, so now it is completly unusable on my laptop. It worked fine in Windows 8, so it is definately Windows 8.1 upgrade. Any ideas how to fix or does Apple have to "fix" Microsoft's problem?

I have tried every solution available and I am still having problems with i-tunes. This really ***** because I was actually starting to like some of the stuff they have available.
As soon as I upgraded my windows 8 to 8.1, itunes started crashing when I went to access the store.
As of late, I cant access anything because as soon as it opens, it asks me to verify my credit card info, and when it attempts to access the credit card form it crashes. I have uninstalled, reinstalled, copied and pasted and done all that is available, but i still have the same problem. I have a 64 bit machine and even tried using the 64 bit version of itunes.
This is really starting to suck because before this, I had never used i tunes and after this, i probably never will again. Thank you windows for not only ruining my itunes experience, but for screwing up my google chrome experience as well. Pretty soon, I will be done with you all together.
Unix is really sounding good about now

Do I need to get a new key for the upgrade to Windows 8.1 with Media Center Pack??

I currently have Windows 8 Pro with Media Center Pack (I have bought a key). What if I want to upgrade to 8.1, do I need to buy a new key to get Windows 8.1 with Media Center Pack? Or the old key could work?

Hi,
The key is ok for you to get free update to Windows 8.1 from Windows Store.

Heads up for XE upgrade on Windows XP Pro

I am posting this as a "Heads-up" to double check your file system directory structure before running the import during an upgrade from 10gXE to 11gXE. impdp won't create Windows directories for you, and will fail if they are not there.
I perfomed an upgrade from 10gXE to 11gXE using the expdp/impdp instructions in the documentation.
Win XP Pro Version 2002, Service Pack 3
My 10gXE data files had previously been in C:\oraclexe\oradata\xe.
I took the export as instructed.
I uninstalled 10gXE.
I attempted to install 11gXE, which halted because C:\oraclexe still existed.
I renamed C:\oraclexe and the 11gXE installer ran successfully.
I attempted the import as instructed. The first attempt failed because I had data in tablespaces in directories that no longer existed (the 10gXE uninstall removed them).
I found that 11gXE created C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\oradata\XE to hold data files, instead of C:\oraclexe\oradata\xe
Once I manually re-created the directories C:\oraclexe\oradata\xe, the import ran successfully, since it could create tablespaces here as expected.

Hi clcarter,
I am following the install docs which tell you export via the datapump:
expdp user/password full=Y EXCLUDE=SCHEMA:\"LIKE \'APEX_%\'\",SCHEMA:\"LIKE \'FLOWS_%\'\" directory=DUMP_DIR dumpfile=DB10G.dmp logfile=expdpDB10G.log
expdp user/password TABLES=FLOWS_FILES.WWV_FLOW_FILE_OBJECTS$ directory=DUMP_DIR dumpfile=DB10G2.dmp logfile=expdpDB10G2.log
Then uninstall 10g, install 11g then run the import:
impdp user/password full=Y directory=DUMP_DIR dumpfile=DB10G.dmp logfile=expdpDB10G1.log
impdp user/password directory=DUMP_DIR TABLE_EXISTS_ACTION=APPEND TABLES=FLOWS_FILES.WWV_FLOW_FILE_OBJECTS$ dumpfile=DB10G2.dmp logfile=expdpDB10G1b.log
The trigger in question is just setting a new primary key from a sequence:
create or replace TRIGGER "MYUSER"."MYTRIGGER"
before insert on "MYTABLE"
for each row
begin
if :NEW."MYTABLEID" is null then
select "MYTABLESEQ".nextval into :NEW."MYTABLE" from dual;
end if;
end;
Thanks in advance

I just installed Illustrator CC for the first time (Windows 8) and it crashed at launch every time

I just recently installed Illustrator on an Windows 8 machine and when I try to launch it 32 or 64bit it crashes right after the splash screen.

Your info is too vague. you have to provide detailed system info and otehr details liek the crash logs. On a hunch you may need to look at this:

Posing a question for those well versed in flash and flex

I would like to start an off-line communication chat with those of you who are well versed in Flash and Flex.
I've worked with Cold Fusion but I am not up to date on all the technologies available. This seems like the perfect forum for this question.
I simply want to build an application (web or desktop is unknown) in which a person can learn a foreign language, in this case English.
I need some technical advice as to whether Flash, Flex, or a combination of technologies (Cold Fusion for server side functionality) is the best choice for this application. I do not understand the technical aspects of Flash or Flex in building applications so I need the advice of you experts.
As with most foreign language textbooks, audio, or foreign language video training, the material is not interesting, not pertinent to daily life, and is great for late night insomnia. I've never seen any type of foreign language training that is interesting, fun, or uses current events as part of the curriculum.
I would like to illustrate my idea with an example. I want to use an existing English beginners textbook (for kids), scan the images in the textbook, store the content (rules of grammar) in a database and store example sentences in a database.
I would like to record basic audio sentences from the textbook (Do you know tomorrow's weather), incorporate some animation (baseball player hitting a home run), incorporate some basic video (purchasing an item at the grocery store), add a quiz, test question or puzzles, etc..
In addition, since this is a classroom setting and the kids are split into groups, I would like to store a seating chart with the kids names and pictures in a database. After the first segment is finished (e.g. purchasing a toy at the store) the kids next perform an activty. I want to use a combination of audio, video, and animation to explain the activity, give instructions, split the class into groups,and perform the activity.
As I mentioned before, I would like to start an off-line discusion for those of you who are willing to share some of you knowledge and experience with both Flash and Flex. Since you are extremely busy, maybe you might be able to point me in the right direction.
Hopefully, some of you can provide some sound technical advice.
Thanks in advance
Michael Poplawski

This is an abitious project even for some-one well versed in flex/flash, i have to give you points for outstanding courage on this .
You need to cover quite a few areas in a project like this both for the client and the back end, you need a strong understanding of animation(either through code or the flash timeline), data parsing, logic trees for the quiz/test elements and a lot more before the first line of code would be written.
In Australia there are already a few companies using flex for online educational applications and at least 1 state educational Authority. A search on the internet will find several sites pertaining to flash/flex based online education software and this would be a starting point to give you an idea of the strength flex has in this area.
Beyond this it is not the sort of project that 'help' would be readily available for unless it was relating to very specific issues you could readily define. Also this is not the best forum to request this type of help as the forum is more about testing a beta product. I am sure that if you start learning about flex and have trouble understanding different aspects of how things work there will be plenty of support from the flex community.

Go/No go criteria for an Upgrade Project.

Can someone please provide information on Go/No go criteria for any Upgrade Projects. What are the key factors which should be considered for any Upgrade project?
Regards,
Gajendra Bhatt

Here are some of the key factors that force TO GO to Upgrade Project:
1. Current version that the customer is having. If it is
   3.X version, then the customer might have implemented
   very long back and his support contract would be
   getting expired. It would be difficult for the customer
   to maintain the system without SAP support. If customer
   go for Upgrade then SAP would extend the support in the
   new contract. This would be a major factor for the
   decision of TO GO to Upgrade.
2. Customer business expansion plans/business prospects
   with different kind of systems like R/3, R/2, web based
   etc., systems which will force to go Upgrade. Because
   new versions of SAP is having different flavors of
   interacting with other systems. So this would save
   more man hours in the future, if they can upgrade
   their central R/3 system.
3. The amount of customization they did in the current
   version, which would be automatically coming in the
   new versions. This would be like credit card process
   in sales etc. This switch over will make them more
   maintenance free system that reduces the future costs.
These are some of the factors that will force the customer
to go for an Upgrade.
Not to go scenarios would be
1. If the customer is already in the nearer version and
   most of the new features are already available, then
   it would not be required.
2. If the project the duration is going to be very long
   as per their processes, which would increases the cost
3. If more customization process has been implemented
   which would not be available in the newer versions
Hope these would be helpful for your analysis.

Guide to Upgrading to Windows 8 on the T540p (+fix for brightness/black screen on wake)

Hello all. I recently received my new T540p running Windows 7. Although I probably would have qualified for receiving Windows 8 recovery media from Lenovo, I went ahead and did the upgrade myself since I had a copy of Windows 8 laying around (and because I'm impatient). I'm fairly tech-savvy and expected the process to go smoothly; boy was I wrong. I decided to write up this little guide after having a thoroughly annoying time upgrading in the hopes of saving someone else out there from the hassles I underwent.
NOTE: The most troublesome part of the whole process was figuring out why the screen brightness was no longer adjustable and the display would not turn on after waking from sleep (black screen) after upgrading to Windows 8. Skip ahead to step #9 if that's the issue you're having.
Step #1: Make a bootable recovery disc or USB drive
This is important in case anything goes wrong during the upgrade or you decide you despise Windows 8 and want to bring back Windows 7. The T540p comes with a recovery partition in the hard drive (like most laptops nowadays I assume) which allows you to completely wipe your computer and reset it to its original factory state (the same as when you first received your computer). This is normally done by restarting your computer and hitting the enter key to interrupt normal startup and selecting the recovery option from a menu. I wrongly assumed that I would still be able to conduct the recovery after installing Windows 8, but for some reason after upgrading I was unable to start a recovery from the recovery partition. Thus it's important to create a set of recovery discs or a recovery USB drive yourself BEFORE starting the upgrade. Lenovo includes a program which makes this step very easy; see this page for details: http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/documents/ht004960
Step #2: Uninstall certain programs BEFORE upgrading
I skipped this step because I forgot about it. I haven't noticed anything adverse (aside from the brightness/display problem which I assume is completely unrelated), but Lenovo does suggest to uninstall certain programs before upgrading so it's probably wise to do so. Here's the list:
    - DisplayLink Core Software
    - Intel(R) USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller Driver
    - Lenovo Solution Center
    - RapidBoot
    - ThinkPad(R) Bluetooth with Enhanced Data Rate Software
See this page for details: http://download.lenovo.com/lenovo/content/windows8/upgrade/think/notebook2_en.html
Step #3: Download and save wireless drivers to external media BEFORE upgrading
After upgrading, I discovered my wireless didn't work and thus I couldn't connect to the internet. I wound up downloading the wireless driver to my phone and transferring it to my T540p. You could also use an ethernet cable to connect to your wireless router or cable modem. But if you have a USB drive, CD, DVD, external hard drive, whatever, save yourself the hassle and download the wireless driver ahead of time. You will need to know the brand of the wireless device (Intel or Realtek); look it up in your email receipt or from the Windows Device Manager under "Network Adapters". Mine was Intel. After figuring out the brand of your wireless device, go to the T540p drivers page here: http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/thinkpad-t-series-laptops/thinkpad-t54... Look for a drop-down menu that says "Component" and select the option "Networking: Wireless LAN" (LAN, not WAN!). The page will refresh to show only the wireless drivers. Select the Windows 8 64-bit driver that matches your brand (I'm assuming all T540p laptops are 64-bit. If I'm wrong, please correct me). Download that sucker and put it to on the external media of your choice to use later!
Step #4: Begin Windows 8 upgrade
You'll obviously need to have a valid Windows 8 key or purchase a copy of Windows 8 for this step. I had a valid Windows 8 key that had been used on an old computer which died (hence my new Lenovo), so I reused it. This requires Windows 8 to be activated by phone which isn't nearly as scary as it sounds. We'll get to that later.
There are two ways to do upgrade: use a Windows 8 installation DVD or download a web installer. I had a Windows 8 key from a previous web installation and went with downloading a web installer. If you have an installation DVD, just insert it and get started. If you prefer to download a web installer, go to this page: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/upgrade-product-key-only I think product keys are tied to either Windows 8 or Windows 8.1, so select the one that you have a key for and download the appropriate one. If you're not sure, you may have to try both.
During the upgrade, you will be asked whether you want to download updates (I assume this updates the installer) and afterward you will be asked to enter your product key. For some reason, when I downloaded the updates my product key would get rejected. I just restarted the Windows 8 installation, skipped the updates and then my product key was accepted. I don't know if this is tied to the fact that I was reusing a Windows 8 key (again, which had been used on a now dead computer) but if you find your key getting rejected then you may find skipping the updates helps. If this doesn't work and you're using the web installer, try downloading the other web installer (e.g. if you're using the Windows 8.1 web installer and find the key is rejected even after skipping updates, your key may actually be for Windows 8 and you should try downloading the Windows 8 web installer).
The installation itself should be a fairly straight-forward process. There are lots of guides online in case things go awry. If you have any trouble or errors, you should hopefully have made recovery media for worst case scenarios where you need to start from scratch.
Step #5: Install wireless driver & connect to your router
You should now have Windows 8 up and running on your system, but no wireless. Now's the time to use that driver you downloaded earlier. Install it and you should now have wireless access. Connect to your router and get online so we can start some badly needed updating!
NOTE1: your touchpad/trackpoint/keyboard experience will be especially funky at this point. That's because the drivers for them haven't been installed. Normally the touchpad won't be active while you're typing, but because the drivers haven't been installed you'll notice you'll accidentally move the mouse or click while typing (e.g. when entering passwords). Not to worry: this will go away when we install the Lenovo drivers now.
NOTE2: your function keys won't work (adjust sound, adjust brightness, etc.). That's also because of the drivers.
NOTE3: you may notice your screen's brightness may not be adjustable even from the Windows menu. Again, that's also because of the drivers. Hang in there!
Step #6: Activate Windows
Now that we're connected to the interwebs, it's time to activate Windows. If you're completely new to Windows 8, here's where you go:
-move your mouse to the upper right corner then move down
-select "Settings"
-select "Change PC settings" at the bottom
-select "Activate Windows"
This is where you'll enter your product key. As I've said before, my product key had already been used on an old, now dead, laptop. Reusing a key requires you to do a phone activation. If you find your product key gets rejected, go to the phone activation option and follow the instructions. An important note: at some point you will probably be asked how many devices/computers you installed Windows on. The correct answer is "one"; if you accidentally give another number, you'll need to call again and start over. (I'm assuming you're not doing anything illegal. As far as I know, there's nothing wrong with you reusing your key so long as you're no longer using the old computer Windows 8 was installed on, e.g. when that old computer no longer works. But if you're trying to install Windows 8 on multiple computers and you can afford to buy a new copy of Windows 8, shame on you. It takes a huge team of coders and support staff to make a product like Windows happen; help them pay their bills by purchasing a legal copy of Windows 8. Students can even get a copy for less than $70 with proof of student status. http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msusa/en_US/pdp/Windows-8.1-Pro-for-Students/productID.288769600...
Step #7: Install Lenovo-specific updates and drivers
I typically hate all the crapware and bloatware companies include with new laptops, but Lenovo does make some which are useful. Their system updater should take care of downloading the rest of the drivers you'll need instead of having to download them all individually (with one exception: the graphics drivers may require a separate download later). Download the system updater here and keep running it until there are no more updates to download: http://support.lenovo.com/en/documents/ht080136
Step #8: Install Windows Updates
Load up Windows Update and start installing. If you're completely new to Windows 8:
-move your mouse to the upper right corner then move down
-select "Settings"
-select "Change PC settings" at the bottom
-select "Update and recovery"
-click the "Check now" button to check for updates
-click the "View details" text link to see the available updates
-click the "Install now" button to begin installing immediately
(Yes, the Windows 8 interface is dreadfully unintuitive unfortunately. Watch some Windows 8 tutorials on YouTube if you find yourself having trouble. Already looking forward to the next version of Windows!)
You'll also want to download the Windows 8.1 update if you installed only Windows 8 (the update to 8.1 is free). The download is available from the Windows Store.
Step #9: Install graphics drivers (if you're having display problems: unadjustable brightness, black screen on wake from sleep)
As I stated earlier, this was the most frustrating part of the installation process. My T540p came with only an Intel HD Graphics 4600 card, but it seems some others include a dedicated NVIDIA card. Whatever updates were installed with Lenovo's System Updater and via Windows Updates didn't seem to do the trick. I even updated the driver with the latest from the Intel website to no avail.
The solution, at least in my case, was simple: go to the T540p driver's download page and download the graphic card drivers appropriate for your system. Go here: http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/thinkpad-t-series-laptops/thinkpad-t54... Look for the "Component" drop-down menu and select the "Display and Video Graphics" option and download the Intel and/or NVIDIA drivers appropriate for your system. (I have no idea what the Intel Wireless Display driver is for, so I avoided it thinking I don't need it)
BONUS Step: Go to ninite.com to download commonly used programs
Shameless plug for one of my favorite websites. It lets you pick from a list of commonly used programs, then downloads and installs each of them all automatically (and skips all toolbars/extra junk downloads). Makes getting started on a new computer a breeze!

Hello Yolanda,
a) I noticed that I can´t install MediaCenter on Win8, but just on Win8 Pro.
b) My problem is, as described, that installing "MediaCenter" on either "Win8 Pro" or "Win8.1 pro", though the "Media Center" key is accepted,
which I once 2 years ago downloaded on ANOTHER "Windows 8 Pro" computer, for free as it was a gift of Microsoft at that time - You could reserve = get up to 5 Media Center licenses per "Windows 8 Pro" computer for later use
on OTHER "Windows 8 Pro" computers - but never used ( i.e. NEVER USED FOR ACTIVATION ),
but after the first reboot, I am running "Windows 8 Pro with Media Center" WITHOUT LICENSE, as shown in the system screen.
Neither my "Windows Media Center Key" nor my "WIndows 8 Pro key" is then accepted to change the situation - I mean the keys I entered just before during the installation process of "Windows 8 Pro" and "Windows Media Center".
I am shure that I did not use the "Windos Media Center" key, as I have a list of personal keys I got for free from Microsoft, and I marked those 2, I used for other "Windows 8 Pro" computers.
So fact is, that with my brand-new computer, 32 Gigabytes of RAM, 4 Cores, "Win8 Pro" installed, I am forced to avoid the installation of "Windows Media Center", though I got valid licenses.
So your answer was not quiet helpful, as it does not change anything.
Sincerely
Rolf

Legitimate request for a free upgrade to Windows 7

I am new to this forum and am incensed by the attitude of Toshiba customer support staff towards my legitimate request for a free upgrade to windows 7, below is an email I have written to them which I would appreciate your comments on:
To whom it may concern.
I am writing to express my displeasure with your response to my legitimate request for a free upgrade to Windows 7 seeing that I have recently spent over 1000 of one of your products.
After having multiple issues with the Vista operating system, I phoned your customer support on the 4th of December and had a conversation with a male employee who was unable to satisfy me as to why my machine was not entitled to a free upgrade to Windows 7 as mentioned on your web site.
He offered to pass me up to a supervisor which I accepted and was connected to a female member of staff who tried to explain that my model was not included in the "promotion". I could see no sense in her explanation, in context to the facts that my machine was of the same age and family as those been offered the "promotion"
This employee was again unable to answer or understand my question and said she was not technically minded so I asked her to put me through to her supervisor and after 10 minutes holding on the line I got to speak to Alistair Cook.
Mr Cook explained the "promotion" to me but could not explain why my model was excluded so he said he would call me back when he found out why. This he did some short time after and reiterated his earlier account with no further clarity. He said he would do more research on the matter and email me the findings.
This contacting your customer support office took a total of 48 minutes on the phone.
Vista is to all intents a failure, a fact you accept by your offer of free upgrades to your recent customers, so why discriminate against some consumers and not others.
I am a long time user of Toshiba computers, this Qosmio is my third laptop and I have always been satisfied with the customer support, not that it was greatly needed. So I again ask that you do the right thing and provide me with my principled entitlement.
Yours sincerely.

Hi mate
Very interesting point of view.
But fact is that not all Toshiba notebooks are verified for a Win 7 upgrade.
Why???
Well I have checked the Toshiba European page
http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com -> Windows Upgrade 7
and there I could find a FAQ list.
One of the FAQ provides this info:
_What requirements do I need to satisfy to take part in the Upgrade Program?_
+To take part in the Upgrade Program, you must satisfy the following three criteria:+
+1. You purchased your Toshiba computer between 26th June 2009 and 31st January 2010.+
+2. Your Toshiba computer is one of the model series to be verified on the Toshiba page.+
+3. Along with your Toshiba computer you purchased a Windows Vista Home Premium, Windows Vista Business, or Windows Vista Ultimate operating system.+
It looks like several criteria must be satisfied in order to participate in Win 7 upgrade program.

Driver for Officejet 4500 Wireless all-in-one will not install after upgrading to Windows 8.1

Upgraded to Windows 8.1 on Pavilion g6. Officejet 4500 Wireless all-in-one still prints but won't scan. Downloaded full feature driver. Installation quit giving error message 'file cannot be found'. Tried 'chat' sessions with no resolution
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hello bob5e,
I am sorry to hear that you are unable to install successfully on your Windows 8.1 with your Officejet 4500 Wireless. I can see that the installation quits on you, giving you an error message. I am going to recommend trying a couple of things to hopefully make the installation successful.
1. First of all, try installing by using The Printer Install Wizard for Windows which finds the correct driver for your unit and installs it.
2. If that does not work, please try this next troubleshooting document step by step.

Driver for the ethernet controller on a HP Pavillion P600000 Series desktop after upgrading to Windows 7 Enterprise?

After upgrading from Windows 7 Home Premium to Windows 7 Enterprise (x64) Service Pack 1 (build 7601), I cannot find working drivers for my ethernet controller. The desktop is a HP Pavillion, Model
No. p6710f. I located the drivers on HP's website, but Windows 7 Enterprise
is not listed as compatible. Compatibility list:
Microsoft Windows 7 Home Basic (64-bit), Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit), Microsoft Windows 7 Professional (64-bit), Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate (64-bit), Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit)
The original driver (according to HP's site) is a Realtek PCIe Family networking controller, Version:7.26.902.2010 Rev. A.
I tried contacting HP, but apparently I voided their warranty once I upgraded to Windows 7 Enterprise. I do not have a support plan with Microsoft because the operating system was purchase through TechSoup (nonprofit). I greatly appreciate your help;
let me know if you need more information.

Windows 7 Ultimate and Enterprise are essentially the same with regard

2. Operating System installed (if applicable)

Hey guys,
I want to update to Windows 8 on my notebook and thus I ran the Windows 8 Upgrade Assistant.
Spoiler (Highlight to read)
Secure Boot isn't compatible with your PC
Your PC's firmware doesn't support Secure Boot so you won't be able to use it in Windows 8.

Which gave me the result in the spoiler. I'm especially keen on the HP ProtectTools because I love the fingerprint login featurer. I'm also not so sure what missing the USB 3.0 eXtensible Host and Dual-Core Optimizer will mean for me.
Does anybody know if these things will work on Windows 8 Pro (regardless what the Update Assistant says), or if not, if it will be solved in the future, or if not, what problems it will give me.
Thanks!
Robin

I have the HP-Pavilion VA284AAR-ABA IQ546T Touchscreen All-in-one
It originally shipped with Vista, but during the period you could upgrade to Windows 7, which I did as soon as I got it. I love it (only wish it had HDMA out, but that is another issue).
Just upgraded to Windows 8 Pro using their donload Upgrade system. It ran great. Worked like my android tablet with regards to touchscreen capability. Could swipe to get the sidebar with search charms on the right and swipe from the left to get other open windows, It was truley wonderful. Then while looking at some settings functions there was a suggestion that my computer preformance was lagging and I should refresh my system.
First of all when I think of the word refresh, I think about splashing a little seabreaze on my face,,,that is refreshing. What happened to my computer after hitting refresh was more like Brad Pitt getting a facelift to look like me. Not Happy.
Now none ot the touchscreen features work other than moving and hitting tiles. Gone is the ability to swipe to mover the entire screen to the right or left or up and down. No more opening the charms bar with a right side swipe. It is like the touchscreen only works halfway. I know this is an old machine in Tech terms, but I know it will work, because it did. Please offer drivers under windows 8 to restore full functionality of the touchscreen to this product. I know your web sight says that there are limitations to the touch features because of the bezel, but I know it works, I 've seen it work and it was a thing of beauty. ( I tried restore, but ther is no restore point prior to refresh) Please warn others about the evils of the refresh option ant to try to establish a restore point before that. Lonng time HP buyer and supporter, please help.

SCCM 2012 SP1 - R2 Upgrade Incl Windows ADK for Windows 8.1 Update

Hi All
I Need some advice
We are preparing for the upgrade SCCM 2012 SP1 -> SCCM 2012 R2
Quick steps:
1 Uninstall ADK 8.0
2 Install ADK 8.1
3 Upgrade SCCM 2012 SP1 -> SCCM 2012 R2
4 Install CU1 SCCM 2012 R2
5 Upgrade Clients to SCCM 2012 R2
6 Upgrade Clients to SCCM 2012 R2 CU1 with WSUS (SCUP)
But today I read the following article
http://blogs.technet.com/b/configmgrteam/archive/2014/04/03/understanding-the-adk-for-windows-8-1-update-and-configmgr-osd.aspx
How does this update fit in the upgrade process (add step 7 and install this update on the SCCM Server) , or is it better to leave this update because windows PE5.1 is not supported yet.
I hope someone can give me some good advice
regards and thx in advance
Johan
