What Makes Windows 8.1 More User-Friendly Than Windows 8

Microsoft had launched Windows 8 as the next big thing to watch out for in the field of operating systems. Windows 8 was mainly targeted on those users who are addicted to the modern touch screen computers and smart phones. Apparently, Windows 8 boasted of some of the most modern and novel features to come out in recent times. These included the Charms bar, Live tiles replacing icons, and the Metro interface.
However, Microsoft excluded some of the basic features in Windows 8 such as the Start menu, which was available in all the previous versions. So although many customers decided to do the Windows 8 upgrade, the exclusion of these features got many of them perplexed at performing the basic functions on a Windows 8 computer. For example, some customers did not know how to shut down their Windows 8 computer because of the absence of the Start menu. Eventually, Windows 8, which was aimed to revive the customers, turned out one of the biggest blunders of Microsoft. The same users who had done the Windows 8 upgrade earlier, decided to switch over to other operating systems.
This forced Microsoft to tweak some of the features of Windows 8 and develop its latest version i.e. Windows 8.1. According to sources, Windows 8.1 would see the return of some of the basic features such as the Start menu, to make it convenient for the users. Along with it, Windows 8.1 has newer versions of the built-in apps, and the new alarms and timer app in Windows 8.1 uses the Windows 8.1 version of control, which is found to be three times faster than the Windows 8 control on a low-end PC.
Microsoft ensures that the Windows 8 devices would be compatible with Windows 8.1 and all Windows 8 Windows Store apps would run on Windows 8.1. It would be the same in the case of the drivers and desktop applications in the new operating system. It simply means that if you would like to do a Windows 8.1 upgrade, you would not require clearing your system or reloading your applications and data. According to the Windows general manager, Erwin Visser, upgrading to Windows 8.1 would be much more like running updates or installing a service pack.
Hence, with the latest exciting apps and basic user-friendly features, Microsoft Windows 8.1 seems to clearly outdo its predecessor, Windows 8, and retain the customers the latter had intended to.

Microsoft Updates Fail To Install After SP3 Update

Users of Windows XP recently reported suffering a problem where after installing an update the system was not capable of using the new feature again. The SP3 Update essentially broke the Windows XP update system. This was a major bur in Microsoft’s side. Now they weren’t capable of issuing out automatic updates that would correct problems and fix issues. Such a problem with the Windows update has to be resolved manually.

Fortunately Microsoft has responded to the problem at hand and issued a fix that would correct the Windows update error on XP. Microsoft tech support mentions two methods. One involves reinstalling the Windows Update Agent. The second method involves Re-registering the Wups2.dll file. We would guide you through both the processes and help you get Windows Update working again.

We can start by reinstalling the Windows update agent. Launch your preferred web browser and go to the Windows Update page. From there download the Windows Update installer package from the Microsoft website. When asked if you wish to save the file, save it to the Windows directory (C:\). Click on the Start button and locate Run. Clicking on the Run option will reveal a dialog box. Type C:\WindowsUpdateAgent30-x86.exe4 /wuforce and press the Enter key. The /wuforce parameter in the command forces Windows to re-install the Windows Update Agent, despite the fact that Windows Update already exists on your computer. Restart your computer for it to reflect the changes once the installation is complete.

The second method is by re-registering the Wups2.dll file. Go to the Start Menu and locate Run. Click on it to reveal the Run dialog box. In the Run dialog box, type in net stop wuauserv and press the Enter key. This will stop the Windows Update agent service on your computer. Stopping this service is required to register the DLL file. Type regsvr32 %windir%\system32\wups2.dll in the text box and press the Enter key. This will re-register the wups2.dll file, and will restore the Windows Update functionality on your computer. To start the Update agent again, go to the Run dialog box and type in net start wuauserv in the textbox, and press Enter. Restart your computer to reflect the changes.

I hope you solved your problem with Windows update. If you have any more problems with Windows XP or any other Microsoft associated products, please contact Microsoft tech support. They would help you resolve your problem easily.

Add A New Printer To Your System

Printers are peripheral devices that help in printing documents and images from your system. A system can have multiple printers attached to it. It can also connect to a wireless printer as well. If you are trying to set up a printer in Windows, you most likely will have to add that printer manually.

How to add a printer manually?

In order to start the procedure you must first select Add a Printer toolbar button which is in the Printers window. Generally, if you had a printer initially the computer probably had it configured. To start using it you have to answer some questions and follow a few prompts, and the printer is set up. However, the process gets slightly more complicated if you wish to add more printers to the computer. If the printer is a non-USB printer the work involved increases.
The Add Printer Wizard is activated when you select the Add a Printer toolbar button. This wizard will ask for the specifications of your new printer. To install the new printer follow the wizard’s directions to identify, establish and set up the printer onto your system. The Add Printer Wizard may quiz you a bit and the procedure might turn slightly confusing. Here are some great pointers to remember when you run into any issues:

• If you wish to establish connection with other printer in a network, then let this responsibility go to the network administrator.
• The Plug and play option is designed for device detection of peripherals. You should not worry about it, as Windows has probably recognized any Plug and Play printers in the connection.
• The new printer should be connected to the port of the first printer. Remember the code name is LPT1.
• If your printer package contained an installation CD, then you can use the printer only after installing programs from the CD to complete the printer installation. If you are stuck during installation refer to the documentation included with the CD.
• Inspect the working of the printer by printing a test page. If the test print did not turn out like the document file, then go to Change The Printer Settings to see if any changes need to be made.

Now that your printer is completely set up, you can print your entire document without a hassle, with a click on the icon in the Printers and Faxes window, or directly from the document. Windows Vista help is tool where you can check up some queries regarding the printer installation. Windows Vista help provides FAQs to help you identify the source of the issue, and ways to remove it.

Browsers That Support ActiveX

Probably you might have heard of ActiveX a number of times, especially in connection with various browsing programs. What is an ActiveX? This proprietary software of the Microsoft allows the browser to access and interact with certain web pages and documents. Since this is entirely developed by Microsoft, browsers other than Internet Explorer usually do not completely support ActiveX and the following description familiarizes you with a few browsers that support ActiveX.

Internet Explorer

It is the only browser that offers full support for complete ActiveX controls and plug-ins. Whenever you navigate to a website or online document that needs a new ActiveX control, you can see an alert appearing at the top of the page. On clicking this alert, you are able to view information about the ActiveX controller that you need and which will allow the Explorer program to download the plug-in. Internet Explorer has the ability to retain the ActiveX control any time you return to that site or document that requires the same plug-in.

Mozilla Firefox

Since this popular program is not developed by Microsoft, it does not allow complete support for ActiveX controls because ActiveX controls are a set of proprietary program owned by Microsoft. However, Firefox developers create new plug-ins that users can install to get support for websites and documents that require ActiveX controls. While running across a website that uses ActiveX, if you see that it is broken in the Firefox browser, you can report it to the development team immediately. In addition, you can download the Esker Active Plug-in from the Firefox add-on, which attempts to imitate ActiveX controls on the Firefox browser.

Google Chrome

This browser is also similar to Firefox, which does not support ActiveX natively, instead uses a Netscape Plug-in Application Programming Interface in order to view and interact with websites that require the controls. Since it is a new browser, many add-ons and plug-ins that support ActiveX are under development. While encountering a site or document that requires an ActiveX control that Chrome cannot access, you should report this situation to Google Chrome support center to mitigate the issue immediately as possible. This will alert the developers at the Google Chrome support to create new and compatible ActiveX controls required for this program.
All these above-described browsers are well established to meet your surfing needs. In addition, troubleshooting tips are just a Google search away if you need further assistance!
