Surface Pro 3 i7 and i5

So I finally got Surface Pro 3 re-imaging just find using UEFI but they were all i5 processors, then an i7 came in and would not image unless I disabled UEFI and used legacy. We ran all updates and that didn't change anything.
Any ideas?

Does not sound right, we image i7 on a daily basis and never had an issue. can you post your TS somewhere?

  • Microsoft Surface Pro 3 and Access

    Currently, we are using a handheld unit to collect process data from our line which is then uploaded into our Quality Access database via ODBC link.  we are upgrading computers and plan to change this handheld to a Microsoft Surface Pro 3.
    Question:  What would be easiest method to link or upload process data on the Surface Pro to our existing Access quality database.
    1.  Put a local copy of our database on the tablet then export to the database or use an append query?

    Hi plottster,
    Since this question is related to Access database and Cross-platform migration usually need software rebuild for compatibility, our help might be limited.
    we suggest you refer to office TechNet forum for more advices because if you have question about Access database on Microsoft platform, you might get more helpful information there

  • WDS and Surface Pro 2

    I have a Windows Deployment Server and I am using Windows ADK to load essential drivers onto my boot/install images.
    I downloaded the latest Surface Pro 2 driver pack and used DISM to load drivers on to an offline boot image from a Windows 8.1 ISO. I then un-mount the image and load it onto my WDS server.
    My problem is the Surface Pro 2 won't pxe boot into my Windows Deployment Server. When I PXE boot, it displays media present and then waits for user input to start PXE over IPv4. I press enter but it times out and then prompts for IPv6 (no error given) when
    that times out it boots the machine into windows.
    I had been successfully imaging Surface Pro tablets from this deployment server using the same methods, but we recently got in the Surface Pro 2 and I haven't been able to get it working.
    I have the latest version of MDT installed but I'm not that familiar with it. When we first started deploying tablets I had attempted to create boot wims with MDT but I never got it working and decided just to use the WADK and DISM.
    Any ideas on what I could try next?

    I am running WDS on Windows server 2008 R2.
    I am using a Type Cover 2 from Microsoft.
    I am using the Microsoft Surface Ethernet Adapter. I loaded the drivers for the adapter into the boot image as well as the other drivers from the February driver pack.
    Thank you for your response.

  • Trying to download and install Photoshop Elements and Premium on Surface Pro 3 from the link and receiving an error - anyone know of a resolution?

    I have a Surface Pro 3 and just purchased the download link for Photoshop Elements (newest one) from Adobe. I've tried downloading several times and in 64 and 32 bit types, but have only made it as far as the install before receiving an error. Anyone else have this problem and know of a solution?

    Hi Jeff -
    I tried chatting with someone earlier today, but they ended the session (I think accidentally?) before it was resolved. My error is below. Now chat seems to be closed - although I thought it was open 24/7, so I can't try that again. This is the most frustrating support experience I've ever had. I just want to access and start using the products I purchased Friday. I would be so happy if someone would just help fix this. I am not computer inept, but cannot figure out why the download is failing.
    The guy on chat that was helping me before getting cut off had me run a SCANNOW system scan, but that's where the session unexpectedly ended.
    Exit Code: 7
    Please see specific errors below for troubleshooting. For example,  ERROR:

  • Polygonal lasso tool not working with stylus on Surface Pro 2

    Hi guys,
    I'm new here so please bare with me if I'm posting in the wrong place or don't make immediate sense.
    Hardeware / software used: surface pro 2 and I'm running photoshop CS5.
    Problem is a fairly basic one: I am trying to make basic selections using the polygonal lasso tool (using the stylus that comes with the tablet) but it simply will not work. All I get when I touch the stylus to the screen is the circle that appears then fades. If I attach the keypad and try using that then it works no problem at all.
    Does anyone have any ideas as to whether there is a particular setting that I need to switch on or off e.g. something relating to pressure sensitivity (although not sure why this would affect this particular selection tool)?
    I've searched the web and come up with nothing so far so any help is greatly appreciated!
    Thanks for your time
    Scott

    same problem on surface pro 3 !!!!
    and i think quite significant, for lot of artists using polygonal lasso a lot (including me). How come that the stupid surface cannot work properly

  • Issues with the Surface Pro 3's pen in Photoshop CS6

    I used photoshop CS6 with no problems on my old computer that was connected to a graphics tablet.
    However, I recently bought a new windows computer called the Surface Pro 3. Everything works perfectly with the trackpad and touch, but I've had some issues with the Surface pen.
    The pen can draw on the canvas, but whenever I click something on any of the windows with the pen, the entire application freezes and I would have to click the computer's taskbar at the bottom to unfreeze the application.
    It's impossible to work like this. Is there any solution to fix this problem? It says that the version of photoshop I have is Adobe Photoshop Version: 13.1.2

    If you have Photoshop CS6 version 13.1.2 which is the Subscription version of Photoshop,  You shoule  Isstall Photoshop CC 2014 on your surface Pro 3.  It will work without problems on the surface Pro 3 and you will also have the option have the option to use Photoshop CC 2014 preference 2x UI to scale Photoshop's UI up in size on your Surface Pro 3.
    If you do not have a subscription the Perpetual version of windows CS6 should be version 13.0.1.3.  In that case the only way to scale Photoshop UI is to have windows do it. You would need to to update your windows 8.1 registry and add an external Photoshop manifest file in your Photoshop CS6 folder.  To get the Surface Pro 3 pen to work with Photoshop you would need to install NTig pen device drivers the support the wintab APIs.
    You will not be able to use Photoshop without a keyboard popping up the windows onscreen keyboard is too cumbersome.  You can use a utility like Touchkey to create Overlay touch keys on Photoshop and use Photoshop without a keyboard.
    The differece betweek Adobe 2XUI scaling an windows scaling ise windows scaling scalet the image areas as well as the Photoshops UI
    A couple of touchkey overlat keyboards could look something like this

  • Microsoft Surface Pro 3 or Surface 2??

    Hello,
    I am looking at the Microsoft Surface Pro 3 and the Surface 2. 
    I currently work off a Sony Vaio laptop and it is working OK.  I am not intending to replace it (right now); but, would like something that I can work on in another room or take with me.
    Would like some feedback on both please.
    Thanks!

    Microsoft actually has a really neat small test to see which one is best suited to you. Surface Pro 3 was a great addition to the line that added more features to the tablet.
    From a personal standpoint I love how they redesigned the rear hinge to do better with keyboards.
    To be quite honest though as far as "major features" go the major differences are that the Pro 3's have some i7's while the Pro 2 only had i5's all the way. You can get some cheaper Pro 3's that have only i3's.
    The new Pro 3 also has a larger resolution supposedly.
    Personally, if you use the keyboard like in your lap or something a lot that would be the only reason as to get the Pro 3 instead of the 2. For most people the Pro 2 was plenty good. I see Pro 3 sort of like Windows 8.1 it was an upgrade to Windows 8 not a real difference.

  • HP 2005pr USB 2.0 Port Replicator - Video not with my Surface Pro 3

    Hi everyone,
    I've spent tons of hours already trying to get the HP 2005pr USB 2.0 Port Replicator working with my Surface Pro 3 and no luck. I mean, the USB replication / hub works, meaning that if I plug in a USB mouse / keyboard, they work. It recognizes the device in Device Manager and the ViewSpan application is running. But if I plug in a display in the VGA, nothing happens, no monitor gets detected, and even if I "force-detect" one it still doesn't display anything.
    I've tried with 3 driver versions so far:
    0.2.5 - not working at all. Reboots my Surface while installing. (this one is on the device itself).
    3.X - which is the first with support for Windows 8 I think. I can install it and everything works as described above - meaning no VGA.
    5.3.X - same story as above.
    I've tried uninstalling, restarting and uninstalling several times with both versions. No luck. And I've literally been on every forum where people have problems with the replicator and nothing helped.
    Anyone had any luck getting such a setup to work?
    Or any ideas on how to get it to work?
    Thanks.

    Hi @blinkk2
    I see that you are having problem connecting an external monitor to your Microsoft Surface Pro 3 through the HP USB Port Replicator. As the USB ports are working with the mouse and keyboard we know what the Port Replicator itself is working this is going to be something with the drivers on the Surface. I would recommend contacting Microsoft Support to see if they can recommend a graphics driver for you.

  • Surface Pro 3 Type Cover Scrolling Behavior

    I asked the same question in the surface comminity forum, and the support engineer suggested that I relay my question here.
    I've just purchased a surface pro 3 with type cover. It's a great machine and I use it for web developement projects on the go. A major part of the stack I use has to be run in linux, so I run a virtual machine with ubuntu server. I use putty to ssh into
    the vm, and rely on vim for code editing. On my previous machine I was able to get mouse scrolling support working in vim, as the events are relayed over by putty. This works even with 2 finger scrolling on trackpads of various sorts. However, this does not
    work on the type cover for surface pro 3.
    After some observations, I realized that the 2 finger scrolling on type cover's trackpad would trigger a screen scrolling animation when the scrollbars hit the end points, a behavior similar to scrolling via the touch screen. So I am guessing that instead
    of using the traditional mouse wheel events, the new trackpad uses screen scrolling events? Which explains why putty couldn't relay the scrolling to vim.
    I am wonder if this behavior can be optional or not. Perhaps a configuration somewhere would allow me to make the trackpad fire the usual mouse wheel like scrolling events so that my putty + vim combination could still benefit from the trackpad?

  • Surface Pro 3 Display/Video/Graphics Driver Issues - DisplayPort, External Monitors, Windows 10 Build 9926

    Surface Pro 3 - i5 with Intel HD Graphics 4400

    All Latest updates installed
    Intel Graphics Driver 10.18.15.4079.
    Latest system update released on Jan 22nd (which I understand is just the latest intel graphics driver?). 
    The display driver status has this error message: Windows has stopped this device because it
    has reported problems. (Code 43)  - I assume it's
    reverting to the basic Microsoft driver when this occurs. Which explains why my displayport (External monitors) will not work.
    I have uninstalled the driver completely (and deleted the driver files), tried the Windows basic driver,
    and rebooted several times with no luck.
    I cannot get my docking station displayport or the  displayporton my surface pro 3 working. 
    According to Microsoft (see below), this is a known issue UNTIL you update to display driver
    version 4079  - which I have.  
    Known issues on Surface after updating to Windows 10 January Technical Preview
    On Surface Pro 2 and Surface Pro 3, the Mini DisplayPort won’t work on the Windows 10 January Technical Preview until you’ve installed graphics driver 4079 or later. Check Windows Update often for the most recent graphics driver.
    On Surface Pro 2 and Surface Pro 3, you’ll notice poor graphics rendering on the Windows 10 January Technical Preview until you’ve installed graphics driver 4079 or newer from Windows Update. Check Windows Update often for the most recent graphics driver.
    If you’re using video driver 3496, you may need to start in safe mode and remove that driver. Then restart Surface in normal mode and go to Windows Update to get the most recent graphics driver.

  • How do I enable BitLocker support (unlock drive) in WinPE 5.0 (on Surface Pro 2)?

    Hi,
    I have a Microsoft Surface Pro 2 and I am running Windows 8.1 Pro Update 1.
    I have been unsuccessful at building an image that provides BitLocker support.  I searched around the internet and found many posts.  Eventually, I ended up trying to build it with the various added packages I noted.  However, in the end,
    none worked and this is the message I am getting after booting into my WinPE environment:
    manage-bde.exe - Application Error
    The instruction at 0xa20afa3b referenced memory at 0x0000013d.
    The memory could not be read.
    Click on OK to terminate the program
    Here are the commands I ended up using to build my WinPE image:
    dism /image:C:\boot\macrium\mount /add-package /packagepath:"C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.1\Assessment and Deployment Kit\Windows Preinstallation Environment\amd64\WinPE_OCs\WinPE-WMI.cab"
    dism /image:C:\boot\macrium\mount /add-package /packagepath:"C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.1\Assessment and Deployment Kit\Windows Preinstallation Environment\amd64\WinPE_OCs\WinPE-FMAPI.cab"
    dism /image:C:\boot\macrium\mount /add-package /packagepath:"C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.1\Assessment and Deployment Kit\Windows Preinstallation Environment\amd64\WinPE_OCs\WinPE-SecureStartup.cab"
    dism /image:C:\boot\macrium\mount /add-package /packagepath:"C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.1\Assessment and Deployment Kit\Windows Preinstallation Environment\amd64\WinPE_OCs\WinPE-EnhancedStorage.cab"
    dism /image:C:\boot\macrium\mount /add-package /packagepath:"C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.1\Assessment and Deployment Kit\Windows Preinstallation Environment\amd64\WinPE_OCs\en-us\WinPE-WMI_en-us.cab"
    dism /image:C:\boot\macrium\mount /add-package /packagepath:"C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.1\Assessment and Deployment Kit\Windows Preinstallation Environment\amd64\WinPE_OCs\WinPE-Scripting.cab"
    dism /image:C:\boot\macrium\mount /add-package /packagepath:"C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.1\Assessment and Deployment Kit\Windows Preinstallation Environment\amd64\WinPE_OCs\en-us\WinPE-Scripting_en-us.cab"
    But even with all that included, I still have the same error about the memory.
    Does anyone have a WinPE 5.0 x64 bootable environment working on a TPM-enabled machine?  If so, how did you build your custom WinPE environment?
    Thanks!

    You have to install the MUI files as well... for English:
    dism /image:C:\boot\macrium\mount /add-package /packagepath:"C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.1\Assessment and Deployment Kit\Windows Preinstallation Environment\amd64\WinPE_OCs\en-US\WinPE-SecureStartup_en-us.cab"
    This applies to any package that installs executables, it'll have a seperate MUI package that has to be installed or you get a non-sense error about memory that can't be read. Also, MS thanks for the wonderful error message, really went the extra mile to
    throw everyone under the bus.

  • Video Issues with Surface Pro 3 9926 .4079 Driver

    I am thinking that most of us are aware, but I wanted to bring some visability to the graphics issues for the Surface Pro 3 and the 9926 update. If you are doing an upgrade then you will eventually end up with version x.4079 of the Intel Graphics driver.
    If you are performing a clean install, be ready as the screen will flicker and boot loop every few minutes, but if you can get to Windows update and get the 1/22/2015 firmware update this is the x.4079 driver.
    Issue are:
    1.  Internet Explorer is not able to play most embedded videos such as YouTube etc.  The Bing homepage today keeps crashing for me.
    2.  .MP4 video will not play in the Video app or Windows Media Player.  Work around - use the Chrome Browser and play the videos right in the window or convert to .avi or .mkv
    I have seen lots of people posting that they uninstalled and deleted the drivers and then the standard video card driver would install.  This is true but if you use the docking station or an external adapter then the external screen will not work AND
    your machine will keep on trying to update the driver to the broken Intel one.
    At this point we will have to wait for Microsoft to issue an updated Intel driver as I cannot seem to get the most current x.4080 to install (even when installing manually by having disk).

    Hi,
    According to statistics recently, this seems like a commen issue as other people also encounter display problem after install Windows 10 preview 9926.

  • Having issues with Surface Pro 3 downloading boot image over PXE

    Hi,
    We've recently started to buy the new Surface Pro 3 with the new USB 3.0 Gigabit Ethernet adapter and we have some issues deploying them through SCCM. Basically, with the Pro 2 and Fast Ethernet adapter we have no issue at all, of course the deployment is
    a bit longer than on any other computer, but it is still quite faster than the latest Surface.
    We have the new 8.13.414.2014 driver injected in the Win 8.1 boot image for the USB 3.0 Gigabit adapter and all the drivers assigned to the new Surface in SCCM.
    The problem occurs when we try to load the boot image after choosing PXE, it takes more than an hour to load it when it shouldn't take more than 5 minutes.
    I tried rolling back to the old driver (8.6.128.2013) and use the Fast Ethernet adapter, use the Fast Ethernet adapter with the new driver and use the new adapter with the old driver, but it's still slow in any case, so
    I'm pretty sure it has something to do with the new Surface and not the Ethernet adapter.
    Anyone have an idea what could be the problem here? Anyone having issues with Surface Pro 3 and SCCM 2012?

    I would imagine you have upgraded to R2, have you also applied KB2905002. 
    This hasn't got anything to do with the TFTP loading phase of the boot image.

    I already asked in that thread the same question, but how about normal PCs that are connected to the same network segment as the Surface devices, do they boot slow also?

  • Brand new Surface Pro 3 with Office Prof Plus 2013

    Just purchased today and brought home a brand new Surface Pro 3.
    The first thing I needed for work, Office, and so I started to install, via USB DVD drive, the program Office Professional Plus 2013 - the fully loaded flagship version of Office that I purchased in March of 2014.
    I was shocked that I am unable to install it. I first tried installing the 64-Bit Office version, since Windows 8.1 is 64-bit. Next I learned that I must uninstall the 32-bit trial versions of Office that came pre-loaded onto the Surface Pro 3. I even used
    the Microsoft Office Fixit utilities and the Support descriptions of manual removal of previous versions of Office.Resetting the Surface Pro 3, uninstalling all Office products from it, and installing as 32-bit did not help either.
    The errors I see are not describable, because nothing happens, the install just hangs with no messages. The machine keeps operating fine, but the Office installs do not work at all.
    All of these efforts have only led to frustration.It appears to me that the flagship 2014 Surface Pro 3 and the Office Professional Plus 2013 (purchased only this Spring) are incompatible. This came as a great shock for me because in all my history of installing
    current MS software on current systems, I have never had this problem. Maybe back in the days of Windows 3.1 it might have happened. Please, if anyone has any advice , please advise.

    Thanks Melon Chen for your quick and helpful reply. Somehow (I will explain below), I was at last able to install the Office 2013 Pro Plus Suite.
    Before I received your reply with detailed instructions I kept trying many other solutions .. eventually I made Office 2013 Pro Plus install, although I'm not exactly sure what ended up fixing my ability to install from DVD.
    here's what I did:
    1) I attempted to install Office 2013 Pro Plus after running Fixit Utility and again the clean boot, but those did not help. I received the same error message that I described (ie. no specific error coded message, only a message that Office 2013 Pro
    Plus failed to install.  After rebooting with the "clean" reset option ,  I noticed there was some of my personal setup information retained on the system (can't recall exactly what this was , but it was clear to me that the reset
    did not make my system in pristine factory image). I discovered an even cleaner reset is the following to reset the Surface Pro 3 'absolutely' to factory image using a downloaded factory recovery image that is available here: 
    -->
    http://www.microsoft.com/surface/en-us/support/warranty-service-and-recovery/downloadablerecoveryimage?lc=1033
    This also required creating a USB drive based install and this reset the Surface Pro 3 to factory condition as described here:
    -->
    https://www.microsoft.com/surface/en-us/support/warranty-service-and-recovery/usbrecovery
    Now, after all this, regarding the Office Pro Plus 2013 install, 64-bit, it failed yet again, but one good thing was that the error message stated something different ie containing the text
    " Background installation ran into a problem. ... We'll automatically resume...." . With this information, I explored the internet over the weekend and I found the following valuable site on the web:
    http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office/forum/office_2013_release-office_install/unable-to-install-office-2013-error-codes-30102-1/fde35d75-bddc-4dd6-bd0a-e01d07420f49
    Although I did not observe the error codes (apparently, it is explained that MS has stopped showing many error codes) as depicted, but the symptoms were identical. And so reading the link, there was one user , Rohn007, who compiled a beautiful listing of this
    problem of installing Office 2013 Pro with suggested solutions; lo and behold, the solution describing
    multiple wireless devices seemed to solve the problem. In other words, by being a heavy MS early-adopter, during Office 2013 Pro Plus install, I had a couple of MS devices, like Lumia phone, pc, etc.. all linked to the same wireless router
    during my attempts to install to the Surface Pro 3.  I have only a single MSN user ID and password for all the devices. I could be wrong, but this situation with shared wireless apparently can mess up the installs of Office 2013 Pro Plus- but often it
    is disguised and murky because no error codes are generated. By turning off all the wireless connections except for the one connecting to the Surface Pro 3, I was AT LAST ABLE TO INSTALL OFFICE 2013. 
    In the end, I installed Office 2013 32 bit, but I really wanted 64 bit. I will try now and uninstall everything again. and then go for the 64 bit version.
    I was very worn out by this experience. A full 2 days trying to install a brand new Office 2013 onto the brand new Surface Pro 3 with Win 8.1 apparently all came down to the fact maybe that I had too many wireless connections going! In the end I am
    happy that I can finally discover this beautiful piece of hardware, but I am a bit scared since I also would like to install Adobe CS4 from DVD drive and I am worried that I will again have much trouble. Do you have any suggestions when installing the Adobe
    CS 4 Master Collection, are there suggested steps to take? I like the idea of running Event Viewer, do you think that cab be helpful during installs.

  • CS2 Pressure Functionality on Surface Pro 3

    Hello all,
    I just got a Surface Pro 3 and have been struggling to get pressure support with the Pro Pen.
    I've read support topics that suggest downloading the wintab driver and the Wacom driver, although when I do that, I just get the error that there's no supported devices detected. My pen is paired and working fine.
    I guess my main question is:
    Has anyone been successful getting this to work? If so, can someone point me in the direction of an answer, or help me get it set up?
    Thank you all. Every bit of feedback is helpful!

    Just figured it out myself, but for anyone who's interested:
    Wintab - N-trig
    You'll need the 32-bit driver installed, and pressure sensitivity will work.
