Windows 8 PC - Tablet - Phone email sync
location: 8forums.com - date: August 30, 2012
I currently have an android phone and use gsyncit to sync my tasks and calendar with Google calendar and tasks. I then have gmail pulling emails and leaving them on my web site host's email server via POP3. This works fairly well but is the email part is kind of clumsy and I can spend lots of time sorting emails in gmail that are already all sorted on my PC's outlook. My dream is to have a mini-outlook on a Windows 8 phone and Windows 8 tablet that stays in sync with my Outlook on my PC (and vise versa) via the skydrive cloud service - no more messing with re-filtering email, deleting garbage emails I already deleted on my PC. Things on my new Windows 8 phone and tablet would mirror my PC right down to the filtering rules and f

How to prevent BSOD on new Windows 8 PC?
location: microsoft.com - date: February 25, 2013
I am repeatedly getting the BSOD on my new Windows 8 PC. I purchased the PC about 4 weeks ago, and all was fine until last week when the light blue screen with "Your PC has ran into a problem and needs to restart" began to appear. It is now occurring with annoying regularity, and I would like to resolve this issue. I have uploaded the minidump files to https://skydrive.live.com/#cid=EFBEB3C3D7DE45C7 The bugcheck code always seems to start with  0x0000003b The problem reporting feature in windows has not given any useful information, and when I select "View Solution" the same message comes back saying the the solution can not be downloaded at the current time. Any help much appreciated, Thanks, John.

Windows 8 PC hanging
location: 8forums.com - date: February 7, 2013
Hey all, Lately my Windows 8 PC has been mysteriously hanging. I can still click icons and it would show the spinning wheel but programs won't load up (i.e. Chrome, task manager, etc) nor am I able to shut down the PC. I'll click "shut down" the spinning wheel shows up and then nothing. I sorta noticed this after I did a Windows update but I also did a system restore to before the updates but no I'm still experiencing this issue. I don't normally turn off this PC, it runs all day and night and usually acts up after a day or two which then I have to do a hard reset. I have all my power option set so that the PC doesn't sleep after a certain time or the hard drive doesn't turn off after a set time. No other programs were i

Have 3 PCs on home network and recently upgraded computer 2 to Windows 8 Computer 1 has lan connection, Windows 7 (can see all computers on network, can't access Computer 2) Computer 2 Wi-fi connection, Windows 8 (can't see or access other 2 computers on network) Computer 3 lan connection, Windows Vista (can see & access computer 1 on network, can't see or access Computer 2) When I run Windows Network Diagnostic, problem can't be identified.

Windows 8, what to buy?
location: microsoft.com - date: November 1, 2012
Greetings community, I’m not sure what I’m supposed to buy when it comes to Windows 8. When testing period started with all those preview releases, I bought one extra HDD and installed it into my desktop machine for that purpose. There I also have one HDD with Windows 7 that I intent to keep, because of compatibility with what I have on my job. Now, I would like to buy Windows 8 for my desktop, and I thought I would be buying some retail version, but looking at prices, on Microsoft Store I see only updates. So what I’m supposed to do? What I really want is to have retail version of license, so I could move it to another desktop machine, when I want to buy it. Of course, if I decide to buy new laptop I could go with OEM, but my n

Can multiple users on a Windows 8 PC share the same apps of does each local user have to download and install a copy of the app to use it even though it's the same app?
