Win 8.1 auto update-Had to reinstall 8.1-now Office wont load (& numerous problems!!)
Hi
My Win 8.1 aio pc is a headache- complete crash 2mths ago-numerous notes on right hand corner from Action Centre for refreshing...or whatever it does...but always says they are urgent/critical...and now... after auto 8.1 update- Start Apps have all got x on them and won't open, including Store. I have reloaded 8.1 and now..it won't let me reload Office - just ignores disk! I now have to try & find email from Norton telling me how to download my Norton once again...and also find the email telling me how to download the Olympus software for 8.1....Why didn't I back them up?...and of course I don't know how to set a Restore Point...it was easy of XP!
What I need help with:
i) How to I now reinstall Office 2013?
ii) How do I get my apps to work?
iii) What on earth does Recovery Image (D) mean? Hopefully thought this was a back up but it doesn't seem to want to open, even thought it is now getting quite full!
iv) Can I set a Restore Point? When I looked at it it only seemed to have one when I reloaded Win8.1 (thinks.... I'd probably deleted them all when I reinstalled Win8.1)
v) How long does it take when you stick your head in a gas oven...or better still, what is the satisfaction rate when you smash the pc?
Heh... and I thought I had a reasonable knowlege of pcs!!!
