| 1308816 | 2012-10-31 22:18:00 | To remove the scond account -- On the normal desktop, press the WinKey + F4 the logon/shut down box will appear, select sign out - next log into the account you want to keep. Two ways Winkey+I , control panel is selected, open it or longer way - Move the mouse to the top or bottom right of the screen, the charms menu appears, select Setting ( looks like a cog) then select Control Panel from the top of the list, this opens the standard Windows 7 Control panel, select user accounts, Manage another account - select the account you want to remove - Delete account. Done :) Or a quicker way to open the Control Panel: right-click the lower left corner of the screen (where the Start button used to be), and select Control Panel from there. |

Alt + F4 brings up the logon/shut down box. oops, my mistake, to many winkey commands :) I just do it from habit, either hitting the win or alt key. The Win +I does take you directly to the control Panel option on the charms menu. Theres several ways of getting to the same place. |

| 1308819 | 2012-10-31 22:52:00 | Any solution to my Hauppauge WinTV7 problem? I seems to have endless problems with Win8. When upgrading to Win 7, I didn't seem to have so much issues. Expecting more to come. sigh! |

| 1308820 | 2012-10-31 23:04:00 | If the tuner doesnt work, see if there's Win8 drivers on the site. It may not be compatible. If its not working. What's the model? | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1308821 | 2012-10-31 23:09:00 | Hauppauge WinTV HVR-900. Driver loads fine, it's WinTV7 that failed to install which requires .NetFramework 2.0 but it Win 8 doesn't allow it to install. Media Center works fine. But I prefer to use WinTV7, which provides better colour. |

| 1308822 | 2012-10-31 23:13:00 | Win7 AFAIK would have net framework 2 on it. Its only XP, that would need it and 1.1. So, how exactly did you install Win8 in the end?? If you didnt do a clean install? | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1308823 | 2012-10-31 23:38:00 | Try this, go into the control panel, Programs and Features, on the top left click on Turn Windows features on or off put a tick in the box .NET Framework 3.5 (includes .NET 2.0 and 3.0) click OK etc. ( by default is not enabled/installed) You may need to reboot, .netframework 2 should now be installed. |

| 1308824 | 2012-11-01 01:27:00 | OK. Leave this WinTV7 for the time being, temporarily use Media Center. Now, I just discovered that typed my user name wrongly when installing Win 8. I've changed my user name from Control Panel -> User Accounts, but when I checked from My Computer, c:\Users\ ... it still shows the wrongly spelt name. Is there a way to correct it, or I've to re-install Win 8? |

You need to reinstall Windows (or at least create a new account), though as far as I know it every version since Windows 2000 is like this. |
