| 1356370 | 2013-10-18 04:28:00 | I installed Win8.1 this morning. Every 10 seconds, any program that I am using hiccups, and causes the cursor to disappear. Typing this text is a bummer of a process with many repositions of the cursor required. Firefox will not operate and load any urls. It opens a new tab but will not load my homepage or allow me to type entries. The hiccup causes dropdown menus to disappear. I am having a problem logging into my mail server. The programs that I have used so far are malfunctioning. Anyone any suggestions? |

| 1356371 | 2013-10-18 04:50:00 | reload the image that you no doubt made before upgrading and then install the upgrade again. Looks like something corupted your 8.1 upgrade. | CliveM (6007) | ||

| 1356373 | 2013-10-18 04:58:00 | I've downloaded & installed Win 8.1 but on restarting it wants a password to log on. I never had a password previously & none of my normal p/w work so I'm 'locked out'. What can I do now???? | fnphoto (2434) | ||

I never had a password previously & none of my normal p/w work so I'm 'locked out'. What can I do now???? You use the password that you provided for your MS account during the setup procedure. If you have forgotten it ring the MS help phone number I think it will be simple for them to sort out for you. You certainly will not be the only one with that problem. |

| 1356375 | 2013-10-18 06:57:00 | One trick that worked on W8 was to disconnect the PC from the internet, other wise its goes looking for a password to log into the Live account. Without a working internet connection it defaults to your normal log in (well did in W8) dont know if it will do the same in 8.1 I know when upgrading to 8.1 this morning as soon as it rebooted I unplugged the Ethernet cable - then went via the custom setup, and straight in no problems, THEN plugged the cable back in. |

| 1356376 | 2013-10-18 06:59:00 | Back on original poster -- What antivirus did you have installed on W8 ? Most dont work with 8.1 this "may" be causing a problem. | wainuitech (129) | ||
| 1356377 | 2013-10-18 11:17:00 | Garyasta maybe opening a cmd prompt (with admin rites) and running "sfc /scannow" - worth a try. I've managed to fix my problem (password access problem) only by running Microsoft Diagnostic & Recovery Toolset 8 MSDart Locksmith module to change it. Even then I had to run it 4 times until it worked. Hope this helps someone else... |
