Windows 8.1 Pro WMC, Radeon R290X and ASUS VG248qe, cable advisor fails

I ran cable adviser and for my graphics section it fails. The result is:
Memory: Pass
Processor: Pass
Graphics: Fail Your graphics card or driver doesn't support content protection
It used to work under windows 7 but what I changed since then is the monitor to the ASUS VG248QE which supports HDCP, the videocard from GTX 780ti to Dual R290X and the OS to windows 8.1 Pro. I have the latest driver (catalyst 14.4) installed. I
don't get why it would say Graphics Fail. My monitor is connected via DVI-D. Any ideas to help solve this?

are you saying you have 3 monitors connected? were they all connected when you

I recently attempted to re-install Mountain Lion on my MacBook Pro late 2012 model and the internet recovery is failing.

I recently attempted to re-install Mountain Lion on my MacBook Pro late 2012 model and the internet recovery is failing. I have absolutely no clue what to do here. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
- Currently if I boot it up there is a flashing folder icon with a question mark in it. I am assuming this means there is no OS because I wiped the SSD and tried to reinstall Mountain Lion
- When I hold Command+R, it prompts me to Choose Network... the problem with this is the wifi constantly is disconnecting. The Retina 2012 does not have an ethernet port so i have considered buying the attachment then returning when done.
Once again Thank you in advance.
Best.

There is nothing to do if you don't have a reliable Internet connection unless you have a copy of the Mountain Lion installer application from when you first installed it.
Install or Reinstall Mavericks or Mountain Lion from Scratch
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
OS X Mavericks- Erase and reinstall OS X
OS X Mountain Lion- Erase and reinstall OS X
OS X Lion- Erase and reinstall Mac OS X
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
because it is three times faster than wireless.

No Signal on Mac Pro with Radeon X1900 and ViewSonic VA1912wb monitor

I have a Mac Pro (purchased in Summer 2007) with an ATI Radeon X1900 (512mb) graphics card. I am connecting the card to a ViewSonic VA1912wb (LCD) monitor.
When I first bought the system, it worked perfectly fine with the monitor. While it did not detect any display at certain times (when trying to install Windows XP for Boot Camp, and sometimes when starting up Boot Camp), I understand this had something to do with the video mode, and when I connected an old CRT monitor, everything worked fine.
Now, when I turn on my Mac Pro, the display sometimes does not show up at all. I often have to start and restart my Mac 5 or 10 times before the ViewSonic monitor will detect a signal and display. Sometimes even more (I was unable to get a display at all last night, after restarting over 20 times).
Does anyone know why this could be? It's very frustrating to have a nice computer and a nice monitor, but not be sure if I'll be able to start it up at all.

First you got to isolate the problem... is it the monitor, the graphic card, or the cable.
The easiest way to find it out, is to connect another display. Does it work, you know the monitor is to blame... if not, it's the graphic card or the cable.
Try another cable... if it still don't work, it's the graphic card.
I have the same graphic card and while surfing around the net, I figured out that these specific model has to be treated very carefully because it is overheating very fast. So it's strictly recommended to clean it every once in a while from dust... using compressed air.
Search around the net and you can find workarounds and pictures. Like this for example: http://www.macosg.com/group/viewtopic.php?t=13207

Adding windows to MacBook Pro using boot camp and external USB SuperDrive

I attached my Mac SuperDrive to my MacBook Pro and inserted the disc to add windows. The disc shows up on the screen. Went to boot camp to install and after I chose the percentage of use, press continue, it says no USB drive recognized. What do I do? Tried all USB ports with no luck

WSUS and Windows 8.1 pro

Hi, I have WSUS on Windows Server 2008 r2 with sp1. My laptop runs Windows 8.1 Pro x64. I have noticed that for a long time I have not seen
Install Updates and Shut Down option when I want to shut down my laptop. In control panel there is information that updates are downloaded with an option to install these updates by clicking on
Install. I have checked this on test Windows 8.1 Pro x64 virtual machine and the situation is the same -
Install Updates and Shut Down option is not there but in control panel there are many downloaded updates waiting to be installed by clicking on
Install. What is wrong here?

Hi,
Choose your desktop, press Alt+F4, is there an option “Update and shutdown/restart”?
Notification message should be displayed on logon screen. If there is nothing displayed, I would suspect either no updates available or connectivity issue
between clients and WSUS.
Please review windowsupdate.log and share with us.

Gaming issues and heat issues, running windows 8.1 pro via bootcamp

I have a few problems, and I don't know what else to do, then to write for help here..
I really hope someone out there can help me, because I have had this problem since I bought my laptop mid 2012, and I got smarter since then, so now I know that I actually shouldn't have these problems, it's not because my very expensive laptop is bad, or that it is a laptop or because it's a mac, regardless of what people say, I'm positively certain that it's a problem which shouldn't be there.
I have pretty great specs, (trust me i checked them out, not the best in the world, but pretty good) yet I can't enjoy 1 single mmorpg game like, Tera, or the new Archeage (currently in open beta), or any other game, (swordsman online)... Even though people say Tera has bad coding, I have tried adjusting things for weeks if not months, NOTHING helps, i get a frame rate that is from 0-25 very unstable, usually around 7-12, and sure if I go the lowest settings in the games I can get very unstable framerates but i guess they can get up to around 35-72 but drops to like 7 or 3 sometimes as well, so even on the LOWEST settings in the games I can't enjoy the games fully... It lags and such because of the low fps ofc...
Other than that it also have a heat issue, mostly when running windows 8.1 in bootcamp.
It get's quite hot, just by opening a browser window, and yes i have tried reseting smc, and p-rams, many times.. nothing seems to help.
And even if it helped the heat problem, the gaming problem is still there.
Now to my specs: (I have the macbook pro retina, mid 2012, 15 inch)
- Prosseser: 2.6GHz quad-core Intel Core i7 processor (Turbo Boost up to 3.6GHz) with 6MB shared L3 cache. "Core i7" processor (3720QM)
- Memory: 16GB 1600MHz DDR3L onboard memory
- Storage: 256GB ssd flash storage. (Seperated into os x = 130GB, windows 8.1 pro = 120GB) Running games and such from my 1TB external harddisk.
- Graphics and video support:
Intel HD Graphics 4000
NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M with 1GB of GDDR5 memory and automatic graphics switching
Dual display and video mirroring: Simultaneously supports full native resolution on the built-in display and up to 2560 by 1600 pixels on up to two external displays, at millions of colors.
And here's a link to see what is inside it for yourself: http://http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/macbook_pro/specs/macbook-pro-core- i7-2.6-15-mid-2012-retina-display-specs.html
When that is said, apple's warranty has run out, and I didn't buy apple care, but I still have warranty from the store (humac) I bought it in, because in my country the law is warranty 2 years, no matter what, but if i can avoid it, I REALLY would like to avoid switching it out with a new one, since there could be problems all over again, and I would lose what I have on it right now, plus it's a hassle to get a new one, they will always try and fix it for a long long time before they give a new one, and probably can't find the problem...
But if that's the only thing i can do about it, I will ofc, but just don't advise me to do that, unless there's no other solution to the problems.
Please help me.
ps: sorry if I posted it the wrong place, I wasn't allowed to post it the right place by apple...

If the underlying hardware was exposed correctly by the CSM-BIOS when Windows was installed, your Device Manager should look like this.
If the Windows installer did not see any devices as your screen indicates, Windows will use generic software-based drivers which will be very slow and painful.
Rudegar ... I think the Windows installer did not see any hardware, otherwise there should be HW with yellow triangles with exclamation marks.

Install Windows 8.1 Pro on Acer Aspire V Nitro VN7-591

Hi forum, I recently bought the Acer Aspire V Nitro VN7-591 and I noticed that it only comes with the Core Edition of Windows 8.1. As I need some of the features of the Windows 8.1 Pro Edition (joining domains, remote display etc.) I would like to upgrade the System to Windows 8.1 Pro. I still have an unused Pro retail key (no OEM, no Upgrade Pack) here so at the moment I'm downloading the ISO for Windows 8.1 Pro. But prior to installation I would like to make sure that everything works out fine and I don't run intro problems. First of all: is there anything I need to save from the old OS (except from the recovery partition- I already saved that to a USB drive using the recovery program provided by Acer)? Do I have to know my Product Key (using for example a key viewer software) just in case? Do I have to disable secure boot in BIOS? Second: can I just install Windows 8.1 Pro using my ISO and installing the drivers from the Acer support website? Drivers should still work, right? Third: if I ever want to switch back to Windows 8.1 Core (the OEM edition) do I just use the USB pen drive created with the acer recovery tool? Will my retail Windows 8.1 Pro Key be usable again if I switch back to the original OS? Sorry for asking that many questions but I just have to make sure that it runs trough right in the first place because I need the Laptop to function. What would be your standard procedure to this kind of "problem"? Thanks in advance and with regards,The_DJ Edit:I might have forgotten to mention that I want to do a clean reinstall without all the bloatware from Acer. That's why I'm using the Windows 8.1 Pro "Vanilla" ISO and if I ever want to switch back to core use the Windows 8.1 Core "Vanilla" ISO. Is that possible or would I have to use the recovery partition saved to my USB drive?

Changing the Operating System may cause driver conflicts. The compatible drivers for Windows 8.1 will not be available in the website for this laptop. Hence, some of the features on the laptop might not work after changing the OS. 1: Since you have already created the USB recovery media from the laptop, you do not have to copy anything else other than this. Make sure you you backup all files before installing the OS, as it will remove all data from the laptop. I see that, you have the unused Pro retail key for the OS, hence, you do not have to have the OEM product key. You need to use the product key for Windows 8.1 Pro to activate it, not the Acer OEM product key. In the BIOS, select BOOT tab. Select BOOT MODE as Legacy Mode instead of UEFI.Disable Secure Boot. Under Boot Priority Order, you need to select 1 as CD/DVD (if you are using disc), or USB FDD or USB HDD (if you are using USB drive) to install Windows 8.1 Pro. Then press the F10 key and select "Yes" to save the changes in BIOS. ->You an install Windows 8.1 Pro using my ISO and installing the drivers from the Acer support website. As said before, there may driver conflicts. -> If you want to switch back to Windows 8.1, you may use the USB reovery drive (which created you have created from the recovery partition). When you do this, the Windows 8.1 Pro and it's product key will be removed from the laptop and the factory shipped OS, drivers, apps (and the OEM product key) will be installed automatically. You do not have to use the Windows 8.1 Pro key with Acer OEM USB reovery media. -> You need to do a clean install using the USB recovery drive to install factory shipped Windows on the laptop.

Cant't use scanner after upgrading to Windows 8.1 Pro

I recently bought a new laptop that came with Windows 8.1 Pro. I downloaded and installed the print drivers for my Laserjet 3055 and the printer works fine. Windows Fax and Scan can not see the scanner. I also installed the Printer and Scanner doctor and followed those direction. It still does not see the scanner. What now?

Thank you too :-) I think we are not the only people who have this problem. Some other Germans have told about this problem too (http://thinkpad-forum.de/threads/172112-T540P-L%C3%BCfter).
Meanwihle, I have tested for this issue on Windows 7 x64. It’s the same behaviour. Same lower RPM after-sleep-bug (1600 RPM instead of 2000 RPM, Fan does not turn off any more).
I have taken the measurements from TPFanControl (http://www.staff.uni-marburg.de/~schmitzr/donate.html) and my ears ofc. Just used it with BIOS Fan Control (no custom fan control).
Please Lenovo, help!
Edit: Now tested at Ubuntu 14.10 Linux – same issue. Seems to be system independent. Must be a controller issue :-(

Windows 8.1 Pro Bitlocker with HP Envy 700

I just got a new HP Envy 700-249. I upgraded to Windows 8.1 Pro immediately for Bitlocker and Remote Access. The PC will be stored in a relatively unsecure location and is for public use - but will have a few users who have access to install software, store private files, etc. SO I want to be sure that the OS stays safe as well as the data.
I want a way to keep someone from accessing anything on C drive that isn't in the Public folders and make the drive unable to be viewed if booted from anything other than itself. So I figured BitLocker. I've gone into gpedit.msc and set option to allow bitlocker without TPM. BitLocker runs and allows me to turn on encryption. I've tried a couple of types of USB drives and BitLocker says it has saved the key to them. I've checked and they have a BitLocker recovery file on them.
BUT - when the system reboots, it will not recognize the USB drive as the key and will not encrypt the drive. I am stumped.
Has anyone gotten an HP non-TPM desktop to encrypt the OS and data drives with Win 8.1 Bitlocker? How?????

Hi,
Bit locker was meant to encrypt entire physical drives. Review this MS article.
I would suggest that you install a second hard drive and then move your sensitive files and documents to that physical hard drive and use bit locker to encrypt that hard drive. If you are going to keep the key on an external device (USB flash drive) then make a backup copy in case the USB drive fails or is lost.

Activation from Windows 8 Pro to Windows 8.1 Pro

I generally use Windows 7 Home Premium in my Acer 4738Z and my old Acer is broken.
so I buy a new Acer E1-410 (and bla-bla in a nutshell) my new Acer E1-410 can't use Windows 7 it must uses
UEFI system (in my previous post http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/0da6bd1f-ee2c-45c1-91cf-1f1d9d0595f5/how-to-install-windows-7-home-premium-32bit-with-no-legacy-option-in-bios-setting-just-uefi-in?forum=w7itproinstall#cb3f8d18-3d61-41de-8ba3-9eaef87f5849)
So I WRONG ? To buy Windows 8 Pro Upgradeable Only (and before you announce Windows 8.1 Pro)
But FINALLY I can install my new Acer E1-410 in Windows 7 Home Premium (with flash bios to active thier Legacy IDE Boot) and UPGRADE to Windows 8 Pro. (FINISH).
I already ask Microsoft Indonesia by phone to check my product key on windows 8 Pro genuine they said yes it's "only upgradeable" and YES it is genuine.
and finally these my problem:
They said to I CAN FREELY Upgrade to Windows 8.1 by Microsoft Store
so I wanted to upgrade to Windows 8.1 Pro to why not ?? You give me free :) ,...
But without any knowledge how to that (My Windows Store doesn't have store icon
to Upgrade to Windows 8.1 Pro).
So I google2xxxx how to UPGRADE to Windows 8.1 Pro
finally I desperate and I download Windows 8.1 Pro ISO (maybe/must be pirate one) from torrent
and fresh/clean install to Windows 8.1 Pro (WITHOUT UPGRADE form Windows 7.1 -> Windows 8 Pro)
OFCOURSE !!! I KNOW IT CAN'T BE ACTIVATE with my older Windows 8 Pro Product Key
So i ask you :
1. What are the disadvantages if I NOT activated my Windows 8.1 Pro ?
2. It's true i can uses all application (on desktop) without any disadvantages ?

Hi,
There are many limitations when the windows is not activated, for example, personalization settings section is disabled as below:
The disabled settings include:
•Your lock screen wallpaper and apps
•Start Screen color and background
•Your account picture
You need to activate Windows before you can personalize your PC and every couple of hours, you'll see a full-screen activation request:
The application is available to use, but I suggest to run the genuine Windows and activate it, because it is legally protected.

Windows 8.1 Pro workstation will not connect to our domain

My situation has me puzzled.
I've got a workstation that I want to be added to the domain. I got it added no problems. When I go to login on my own user account on the domain, it works as it should.
As I hand off this workstation over to a user and had them log into it, they mention that "There are currently no logon servers available to service the logon request."
I checked their group policies on the domain controller and its setup exactly like the others.
Most of our machines are windows 7 pro, and they all are able to login to the domain just fine; including the person in question from before on a windows 7 pro machine. For some reason however, using the same credentials and same everything else, it refuses
to attempt to try to connect to our domain.
If I'm able to connect using windows 8.1 pro on my account, while a normal user can't, I suspect its a group policy issue? The user is a member of "domain user" group so I'd think that would be the only real ticket they would need. Again they can
use their own credentials under windows 7 pro and connect up fine, and my very own credentials for windows 8.1 pro machine logged in and carried out group policy information as well.
Well now here is something, just as I was typing this up, I made a test account that has domain admin rights and low and behold, it was able to log in though it doesn't appear that group policy mapped drives or shortcuts were placed.
I guess the question now is what would a domain admin have over a domain user that would allow a domain admin to log in and not a domain user that is specific to windows 8.1 pro.

Hi
Check your DNS settings on the machine. Are you using static entries at all?
Can you ping the DC from that machine? Also try turning off UAC and check your firewalls.

How to upgrade Flash Player in Windows 8.1 Pro

I have windows 8.1 pro with IE 11 and the news video won't be able to play online. The error message is "Sorry, Clip not found...Media not found". It gives only an option to click 'OK' and the screen stays black. I am sure the video is OK, because I can run it on Windows 7.
I contacted Microsoft Support and they suggested I upgrade my flash player. My flash player version is 13.0.0.206 and the lasts is 13.0.0.214. I tried to upgrade and it says "Flash player is integrated in Windows 8" and no option to install it.
I also tried uninstall Flash player with Uninstall Flash Player tool but it did not uninstall Flash even though the message said 'uninstalled successfully'.
In brief, how do I correct 'Sorry, clip not found. Media not found' when I play online video? This is a news video, not movie or youtube and how do I upgrade Flash on Windows 8.1 with IE 11.
Thank You.

Hi Texan,
Microsoft embeds Flash Player in Internet Explorer on Windows 8.x systems and you can only update Flash Player for IE by updating Internet Explorer. Microsoft releases Internet Explorer updates whenever there is a Flash Player update (usually monthly). To update your version of Internet Explorer go to Control Panel > All Control Panel Items > Windows Update > Check for Updates. Since you don't have the latest version of Flash Player, it should find the 'Security Update for Internet Explorer Flash Player for Windows 8.1 (KB2957151)' released May 13, 2014. Alternatively, the URL for this specific download is http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2957151.
If you also have other non-IE browsers, you can install/update Flash Player by going to http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer using the non-IE browser and the page will present you with the appropriate version for the OS and browser.

Windows 8.1 pro upgrade stops drivers

I have a top-quality All-in-One device Photosmart C7183 which has been working for a long time without problems, including a transition to Windows 8 pro. But, after applying the upgrade for Windows 8.1 pro, all the drivers and softs stopped working, it was hardly to delete them manually to attempt to reinstall, and (!) the associated driver soft file AIO_CDA_FSW_Full_Win_WW_140_408.exe does NOT RUN at all!
Whether you can advise me anything, please?

I could get nothing from the native HP software and did as follows: I have downloaded from Internet and installed a generic printer driver with the Win 8 printer setup utility . For support of operation of the scanner I have installed excellent program VueScan. All operates correctly. The only that I have to do manually is sending a fax .
I have in my home network two more Sony Vaio computers and all of them work with the All-in One device through Wi-Fi without problems, using the native HP software. But they have another Operation Systems: Win 7 and Vista.
P.S.
I tried to install scanning programs from HP, offered in the Shop. They were installed, but did not find out the scanner!
