Windows 8 troubleshoot screen from bootup

Sounds like an Explorer crash. Can you CTRL-ALT-DEL, get task manager, then run Explorer from there. This should give you the desktop back. Have a look in the event logs to see what's causing the failure

I have a user who's profile seems to be messed up as when she logs in there is a blank black screen with a cursor and no icons.
I need to know if there is a way when booting up to go into the Windows 8 troubleshoot screen so i can refresh her computer to repair her computer/profile.

Windows 7 Blue Screen of Death from Apple Wireless Keyboard?

I've installed Windows 7 with Boot Camp 3.0 drivers on my Mac mini, and I suppose overall, I'm enjoying it. However, I'm getting a blue screen that seems almost random. Keyword is almost.
I've got my Apple Wireless Keyboard and Mighty Mouse paired, and they're both working well, however, I do believe I am getting some blue screens from my wireless keyboard.
It seems, at random intervals (usually when I haven't touched the keyboard and mouse for awhile) I get an IRQL blue screen and no information about what's exactly causing it. For example, if I'm sitting in the other room listening to music for awhile, and I come back and press the "next" media button on my keyboard, it'll crash and give me the blue screen. However, I've also tried pressing another random button (shift) to "wake" the keyboard if it had fallen asleep, which also results in a blue screen. The blue screens ONLY show up when I give input via the wireless keyboard. Or, if I leave the computer on overnight to download a file or something, the screen will sleep (which it should) then I'll press a button on the keyboard, the screen will stay asleep, and the computer will restart. Which is just a hidden blue screen I'm assuming.
I've tried reinstalling Windows (Clean/fresh install of course), installing/uninstalling drivers, pairing and re-pairing. I've also removed unnecessary/non-Windows 7 drivers that were installed with Boot Camp.
Outside of this blue screen, I am quite impressed with Windows 7. I just can't figure out what's going on. Is there any place I can get a description of what's causing this crash? Does anyone know what's happening or know a solution to this?
Thanks in advance, if you need more details, please ask.

Experiencing exactly the same symptoms, bugcheck/bluescreen only when touching the Apple wireless keyboard after a period of inactivity.
I have an 20" iMac, just upgraded Leopard -> Snow Leopard latest minor version and updated to Boot Camp 3.1 hoping they provided a fix, but the driver at fault (keymagic.sys) doesn't look updated and the issue is still there
Hopefully someone from Apple dev support is reading this, here's all the info I could squeeze from the crash dump:
=============================================
* Bugcheck Analysis *
IRQLNOT_LESS_OREQUAL (a)
An attempt was made to access a pageable (or completely invalid) address at an
interrupt request level (IRQL) that is too high. This is usually
caused by drivers using improper addresses.
If a kernel debugger is available get the stack backtrace.

Adobe Applications disappeared from my Windows 8 start screen

Hi,
After a recent update to my creative cloud all my adobe apps have disappeared from my windows 8 start screen. And when I search from them from the start screen it can't find them.
If I use file explorer I can navigate to them, and the apps are still pinned to my task bar.
Any ideas?
Oh, and another issue I've just noticed, my creative cloud app won't log me in. Everytime I login it immediatly says "you have been signed out, please login in to continue.

Try this discussion link:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1444190?tstart=0#discussion-6273921
For Windows 7, in short, you need to delete a file in the local files folder - basically resets linkages or something to the creative cloud. Then restart the CC desktop app.
I hope this helps.
Chris

Will not open on the screen from the taskbar.

I have windows 8. Firefox will not open on my screen. I click the icon on the task bar, it runs but there is nothing on the screen. When i hover on the task bar icon the thumb nail shows above then when you click it it goes away. You can close from the thumb nail. That is all that happens. Explorer & Chrome load with no problem. I hope you can help with this problem as I use Firefox as my main browser.
Thank You.
John.

Hi John,
I am sorry to hear that when you open Firefox that nothing pops up on the screen, but if you hover over the Task bar that one of the open windows can be closed from here. Can you click on that window to maximize the window that opens?
What has been recommended in the past is to remove the localstore file from the Firefox profile, as it may have become corrupt [kb.mozillazine.org/Toolbar_customizations_reset_on_startup]. However an easier solution may be to Reset Firefox by starting it in Safe Mode. If you hold Shift and click on the Firefox icon you may do this. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]] , reset the profile from this menu.

Here are some of the issues I haven't been able to resolve as of yet, maybe you can help?
A\\-how to change size of title/finder/apple bar (that thing at the top with the time)
B\\-how to add the date to the title bar (currently I can only get the time up there)
C\\-how to minimize a window w/o an animation (current options are genie or scale, I want none)
D\\-how to alt-tab like windows (I assume there is another key combination besides alt-tab that works like alt-tab. Currently alt-tab is similiar but its not the same and its hurting my work. In one key combination, I want to be able to minimize and maximize any window on the screen. So that my desktop is clear but I can see all the windows that are currently open)
E\\-making finder search and spotlight actually search computer (currently spotlight will not go near the library as an example)
F\\-i have solved the clamshell problem by installing insomniax but the efficiency is way off (currently I have to make 2 clicks to sleep the display, and 2 clicks to sleep the system, and if I sleep the system, then I have to make 2 clicks to reenable insomniax)(In my old computer, I had no clicks to sleep the monitor, when I closed the lid of the computer it killed power to the monitor. If I wanted to sleep/suspend the system. I had to push one button (a button is MUCH quicker than a click)
G\\-show view options, calculate all sizes, is great. Where is the global setting for this?
H\\-in finder preferences, what are spring loaded folders?
I\\-in finder preferences, sidebar, can I edit any of them, like places, shared, an devices, can I change them from lists to links?
J\\-in finder preferences, sidebar, can I get to any of these without going through sidebar?
K\\-in finder preferences, sidebar, why arnt shared categorized like all the other items instead of just listed (currently in finder under shared is a list of computers, yet under PLaces is home, desktop, applications, and documents;; in the finder preferences though under shared is connected servers, bonjour computers, and back to my mac)
L\\-in textedit what is smart copy/paste
M\\-global setting for smaller window sizes (currently everything on desktop is at 10pt font, then I open an application and the font jumps from 10pt to 16pt almost)
N\\-global setting for maximize (currently I have to open an application and then maximize it, I just want to open an application, and not have to maximize cause it already is)
O\\-how to have your home folder on another partition, or to setup a backup of your home folder to another partition, like mobileme and idisk does only to a partition, or even a usb drive instead of mobileme and idisk. I heard there was a way in mac os x server, but I dont want server for this simple thing
P\\-how to setup a operation to run every time an application is installed (currently when I install an application about 50% of the time it appears in the applications folder as an icon, and the other 50% it appears in the applications folder as a folder;; in the second situation I have to then go make a shortcut, and put it in the applications folder(i need this to happen everytime);; in windows they had something for this called the start menu)
Q\\-how to show hidden files and folders in finder (/var /volumes /etc; currently I can see all of them in open dialog boxes, and other places, yet I can't in finder)
R\\-global setting for calculate sizes, in show view options, in finder
S\\-how to set defaults or preferences in calculator(currently if I open calculator it opens the basic calculator even if I use the programmers calculator all the time)
T\\-how to change the size of icons in stacks

How do I pin a firefox site to the Windows 8 start screen?

I just got a new AIO with windows 8; not may favorite thing but I'm learning.
I use Firefox as my browser exclusively but Window 8 help, of course, won't explain how to pin sites through other browsers. I had to set up my desktop on my start screen so I can open Firefox from there and then I can start browsing with Firefox - but there has to be an easier way....I've tried to search through the Firefox support but I'm an accountant, not a techie and this is getting very frustrating. lol I hope someone can explain to me how to do this. And in very small words please - remember I'm bean-counter. :)
Thanks y'all.

jscher2000 - thanks for a really fast response!
Your links got me to get to clicking on other related links and I did find a site that was very easy to follow so I'm adding it here for you to give to others; has illustrations and''''' very''''' easy to follow instructions. Perfect to someone like me. I wouldn't have found it without you getting me started though.
Thanks!!!

Windows 7 Black screen with cursor after boot camp partition

So I realise this is a problem that was plaguing people a few years back. So I'll go from the very start.
I've downloaded a copy of windows 7 professional 64bit from the Microsoft website. My optical/CD drive isn't working, so I've been unable to use it
to install windows. I decided I'd try booting from my USB. So I have the ISO file and formatted my USB and I've downloaded the latest drivers for boot camp assistant on my mac (version 5.0.4) I'm up to date with every update for my mac. Now, I do realise that Apple doesn't recommend using a USB to load windows, but I watched this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8z1gqw0ougo and it explained how to get the checkbox up when you're in boot camp so you can run from your USB.
My problem now, is that straight after I have partitioned my hard drive, it goes on to install windows but upon restarting it reaches "the black screen of death" with just the white cursor blinking. I've tried multiple times and keep getting the same result. I've even tried what Apple suggested and only have one USB device plugged in http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4536
The details for my mac are as follows:
Model Name:
iMac
Model Identifier:
iMac10,1
Processor Name:
Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed:
3.06 GHz
Number of Processors:
1
Total Number of Cores:

3 MB
Memory:
4 GB
Bus Speed:
1.07 GHz
Boot ROM Version:

Serial Number (system):
W800992A5PE
Hardware UUID:
A108E54E-3C53-5AF8-BFDF-2CF7ED567A74
and it's a late 2009 model.

I have solved this issue now but seem to have encountered another one. I solved the above issue simply by keep on trying time and time again, partitioning the hard drive and trying to install windows 7.
Anyway, I have encountered this error: windows setup could not apply the configuration set. The WINDOWS folder cannot be found.
Please help!
