[Windows 8 General] GoodDayToDie:
For questions about development specifically, General probably isn't what you want (there's Dev & Hacking), and for this specific question, Q&A isn't the right thread; it's too complex of a question.

The really simple answer is that it's pretty easy to "add support for" a file format, but all that means is that the app will open those files for the user, and the developer can access the file as a byte stream. What you do with that byte stream... well, that's a different matter. EPUB isn't too hard. I think MOBI is trickier, though. Displaying the contents of the file in a useful and user-friendly way, keeping it performant, handling things like progress tracking (there no meaningful "page" count when each device or iuser-specified text size/font can display different amounts of text on screen at once), and so on... that's where the real trick of writing a ereader app comes in. For what it's worth, while there's definitely room for better apps in this space (especially for MOBI; most only do EPUB), there's already a large number of ereader apps.

If you want to discuss this topic in more detail, please create a new thread; this one is best suited to simple questions that only need one-post answers.

Shutdown problem..!

hey every1...

i have a hp pavillion g6 2320tx

when i shutdown my laptop it shuts down normally without any issues..but when i turn it on it starts unusually fast....

and when i check uptime in task manager it shows 11 hours...as if it was on for so long please help..:confused::confused::confused::confused::confused:
[Windows 8 General] goldflame09:
this is because windows does fast startup. This keeps it in basically hibernate but allows it to be started up faster
[Windows 8 General] superRiyaz:
hey

how can i disable fast startup???

Hi all

I have a lenovo g500s .. I was partitioning hdd using aomei partition assistant. After it finished it went to pre boot mode. And after that loaded completely it asked to reboot. I rebooted the laptop. From then the lenovo logo comes and then a blue page having an error "Ur pc ran into a problem we are looking in it. Please wait while we restart pc for you" and it goes on infinite times. Just another bootloop type. And then I am not able to go into bios using any key or recovery. My laptop has a one key recovery key. I tried that and selected systm recovery and then error came "system boot failed" and also bios doesnt recognise dvd. So I am not able to boot the laptop into system. Can someone help please?

[Q] I have Lenovo ThinkPad Tablet 2 and I have installed need for speed underground 2 but, every time I try to run it I get the error that it stopped running. Any suggestions how I can fix this?

Thanks in advance for answers!
[Windows 8 General] SixSixSevenSeven:
Without the error message, no, no one will fix it.
[Windows 8 General] krsk77:
That's the error I get when I try to play it.

"Program speed2.exe has stopped working" any idea how I can fix this?
[Windows 8 General] SixSixSevenSeven:
Nah, generic error message which gives no indication of what the fault was sadly.

One thing I can suggest having done some research is that the game simply isnt compatible with windows 8 having been originally intended for windows 98 through to XP.

Find the actual speed2.exe on your system or simply the shortcut you use to run it (speed2.exe would be preferable but the shortcut should be fine) > right click (or long press being a tablet) > properties. In the properties window there should be a tab along the top which says "compatibility".

Tick the "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" box and then change the dropdown box to whatever is closest to what the game requires and your system will allow. My desktop allows right back to windows 95 compatibility mode, laptop only windows 7 and vista for some reason.

If you only get the vista option, try that, then if that doesnt work try vista with the service packs (should be 2 listed) and then try 7. If yours shows XP and everything like my desktop does I would try 2000, XP and then the XP service packs until one of them works.

It may still not work after that but its worth a shot. Officially the game supports windows 98, ME, 2000 and XP. Vista, 7 and 8 are too new.

Beyond that there is little I can suggest. If there is a steam version they normally seem to support newer OSes better, but I guess you dont want to purchase another copy and even then there is no guarantee (to this day metro 2033 still doesnt work on windows 8 from steam without me manually adding a file)
[Windows 8 General] krsk77:
Thanks for help! But, it still doesn't work :( and there is no steam version. i also tested it on my windows 8 laptop and there it works just fine maybe lenovo blocked something because I also istalled nfs mw and it doesn't work either. Anyone know what's wrong?
[Windows 8 General] SixSixSevenSeven:
Lenovo won't have blocked anything. Only thing left I can think of is some sort of incompatibility with the clovertrail chip powering your tablet, sorry man.
[Windows 8 General] krsk77:
Is there anything I can do? Let it think it has other hardware or something?

I have a Samsung Ativ Smart PC Pro and when I insert a pen drive or a hard disk in the usb port on the tablet (not the ones on the keyboard) then my pc just freezes and becomes unresponsive and the only option I have is to put it in sleep mode by pressing the power button and then turning it on again. I have installed all the updates. Does any one know why is this happening ? Is there a problem with the hardware or software? Please help!
[Windows 8 General] Rajul:
Will every game work as it used to work in windows 8 or there will be compatibility issues
[Windows 8 General] GoodDayToDie:
8.1 does not, so far as I know, remove any functionality that was present in 8.0; there shouldn't be any new backward compatibility problems.

Of course, it's a complex system, so there's no guarantee of that. However, at least there aren't any known (to me) ones.
[Windows 8 General] Agent:
The 8.1 update shouldn't affect any programs. It's more like a service pack than anything else. (Could be drop dead wrong, but I'm very confident it won't affect any programs.)

Here's a good Q:

Custom Desktop with i7-3770k and HIS Radeon HD 7790. Intel video disabled.

Streaming video through HDMI and game video playback (Tomb Raider) both have random audio cutout.

Audio cuts out for one second and picks back up.

Audio only (ex. iHeartRadio) plays fine, no cutout.

Both Win 8.1 Preview and ProN RTM have had this issue.

Similar desktop, piping through Realtek HD audio to speakers is fine through same test.

I forgot to try in Ubuntu and rule out the card so I'll test that today.

Could this be due to the lack of the Media Feature Pack?

I have two windows 8.1 iso, one each of x32 and x64. I want to make a single bootable usb from these two iso so that i can choose which system to install. I search the fourm but could not find the guide or a link to such single iso.

You can't make a dual 32/64 install ISO yourself easily. You'd be better off buying another usb drive and making 2 seperate bootable drives.

What do user environment variables do, and how do they affect an account on a windows 8 machine? I currently have two variables associated with my account, both going to the same path.

[Windows 8 General] GoodDayToDie:
You could find a lot more information about environment variable simply by doing a quick SEARCH (like you're supposed to before posting...) but it suffices to say that no, they have absolutely nothing to do with battery drain. The reason there's two of them for the temp path is that some programs look for the var named "TMP" and some look for "TEMP".

VLC TV Output

Have an Asus T100 and an LG Tv.

When I try to run the program on my Asus the video fills the full screen, but on the TV it is just in the centre.

Are there any settings I can change to get the picture full screen on the TV.

I have tried all the resolution settings in VLC but cant get it to change?
[Windows 8 General] SixSixSevenSeven:
Let me guess, you didnt change the windows resolution settings? VLC res settings wont effect TV output, that is determined by windows. Right click your desktop, "Screen Resolution", change it to the TV's resolution. Alternately you might have a picture mode button on the TV remote, may need to change it to stretch or full (or whatever your TV calls it, just mash the button until it looks right on screen).

[Windows 8 General] GoodDayToDie:
Short answer: no.

Longer answer: You do realize people have been discussing the concept of doing so for a few years (ever since WP7) and the answer has aways been the same, right? NO, and please remember to SEARCH before posting!
[Windows 8 General] searchworlds:
Well, mmm, i have searched and i didn't found what i was looking, so i asked.

I should have asked directly the following part of the question that is what i was really aiming to : there is a way to run android apps with an emulator like Bluestack, isn't there something similar for windows phone app?
[Windows 8 General] SixSixSevenSeven:
The windows phone SDK includes an emulator, but it is hard to describe how slow it is without using language that will leave me liable to a moderator breathing down my neck. You also need access to the source code of the app which 99.9% of the time you won't, so you can effectively ignore it.
[Windows 8 General] GoodDayToDie:
The WP8 emulator really isn't that slow, unless your PC is also slow (it's just an x86 virtual machine running in Hyper-V, not a true emulator; it should run at very nearly native speed for your PC which ought to be much faster than your phone). However, you're right about it not being useful for running arbitrary apps.

As for Bluestacks, that is a fairly new product that still doesn't work very well, is the first of its kind, and is created for the most popular mobile OS in the world. WP8 doesn't have anywhere close to the kind of market penetration that would lead a third-party developer to create such a tool. MS could have, in theory, but (as I said) people have been talking about them doing so for a couple years and there's been no sign of it whatsoever. WP8.1 may be able to install Windows Store apps, but the reverse doesn't seem to be happening.

Looking for a nice tablet to replace my HP Envy M6 with the AMD A10 CPU.

I have bought the Lenovo Yoga Tablet 2 W\Keyboard which was great! Supper light weight & easy to hold, Also the Screen was BEAUTIFUL!! Really loved it but it didn't have the light weight gaming I was expecting coming from android I want to play Modern Combat 5 but its way to laggy.. It also had no full sized USB I tried a otg cable to use my XB1 controller but the tablet or games didn't find it. I returned it and bought the low end Toshiba Click 2 which bumps up from the yogas atom CPU to a Pentium chipset. Now this plays at decent frame rate playable for sure but the system response isn't nearly as good as the Yoga or my HP envy. Looking to see if you guys could recommend any other tablet before my return date expires or any tweaks good for me to use I will ad links to the click 2 Pentium version for full specs. Thank u
