I tried deleting the hid compliant mice in device manager which deleted the mouse connection that worked as well as the others. In Devices & Printers (from Control Panel) there were still 4 mice "connected" but none of which would delete. After a reboot to get the mouse functioning again, there...

Having just purchased a brand new Arc Touch Surface Edition mouse I have been having problems keeping it connected. Whilst I can reconnect it and it works okay, I can't remove the old drivers or instances of the mouse in PC & Devices, Bluetooth. Whilst is not a game breaker as the mouse...

I just bought one these and it keeps losing connection. Sometimes a reboot works but mostly not. So I try to remove device which doesn't work and just leaves the mouse driver there in PC Devices, Bluetooth. I now have three mouse drivers which I have tried to remove but no joy. Any ideas guys?

Or you could copy the contents of the disk to a folder on your desktop, move that folder to a usb stick and install it from there!

I had a system hardware update a few days ago and now the Skydrive issue has gone away. I can make all of my files off-line or on-line now!

I do have 2 music folders one of which is not used and is in my user profile. However I have deleted that folder from my music library and added the Skydrive one as the default and public save folder. My documents, pictures and video folders are set up exactly the same way and do not have this...

My understanding of Skydrive is this, if it is off-line then obviously the physical file is actually on your hard drive. If it is on-line only then you still see the file but it is just a metatag showing that file is available on-line and has to be downloaded to be viewed/heard/etc. All of my...

I haven't had a dead pixel problem for 10 years or more. I would use that as a very good excuse to get to new updated surface! Skyrim works great btw!

Hi all Firstly I would like to say I love my SP2. I have just taken it to Florida and back and it was an amazing tool, a tablet, a laptop and a digitiser, everyone wanted a go on it! However as I was trying to save space, I right clicked on all of my Skydrive folders to make them on-line...

Turning the sensor off for being plugged in seems to have worked. I am still sure that this is another issue with the botched firmware update as I do not remember this happening before.

I have turned the light sensor off for plugged in to see if that helps at all. Thanks for the input!

I have only noticed this recently so I assume that it must be the last dodgy firmware update but my screen dims occasionally and then brightens up after a short while. This happens on battery or plugged in and when just in light use like internet, etc. Anyone else experiencing the same?

I bought it from the on-line download route with 5 device installs for £80 a year so it is probably a subscription only offer.

We had a Pong machine as well as a Tandy TRS-80 that played Tic-Tac-Toe but they were bought by my Dad. I only really wanted to emulate machines I had actually owned. Wow, amazing that I was impressed with Tic-Tac-Toe at the time!

You do realise you get 200Gb Skydrive for two years for free if you buy a SP2? Just saying ;) Also Skydrive is baked into the OS now and having used all of the various cloud storage variants, Skydrive worked the best for me. It just had the most seamless experience and the best value for money...

Emulation gaming I have had loads of fun today with emulation of many old computers and consoles that have passed on or been superseded. Ranging from my first computer a ZX81 to a PS2 running Gran Turismo 4, it has been very interesting getting everything running. One essential item has been...

Every time I start Portal via Steam, it seems okay for about one level then the player gets moved on its own with any input from me! Nothing plugged in other than Type keyboard. Any ideas? SP2 256GB

I am having problems mainly in Photoshop Elements 10. The cursor on screen is miles out, not even close to where the pen is. Trying reset, reboot etc! EDIT: Reboot worked, panic over! It was about 3 inches out before so worth panicking about!

Hi all I just got my new SP2 256 and downloaded all of my Skydrive folders and files which took 4 days to download! (way to go MS - this is very efficient!). As I only had 50 GB left I decided to make all of my Skydrive online only (yeah I know after spending 4 days d/l them!). I can make all...
