Running Win8 Pro, looking for a compatible solid dictation software program to help a friend email etc, simple American English if that makes a difference, TIA! :)

Just bumping this post as I've had a second similar device exhibit this same loss of access. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

^^^ Thanks for sharing that bit of information--will be helpful in the future I'm sure. So it seems I have Win 8 Pro w/Media Center so now the challenge becomes finding what download update link I need to use for the desired update. I'm sure this is a relatively simple process and yet it...

I tried that just now--same results, "smart screen stopped the download..."

Complete noob here so bear that in mind please....... Trying to download and install the latest version of SABnzb v3.7. , currently have v3.1.1 running without problems or issues but think it might be prudent having the latest version. Something called "smart screen" stops the downloaded file...

I hope this is posted to the correct forum---please advise or move it wherever it belongs. Completely dumb when it comes to most things computer related, forgive that please?! :) I have an external HD connected via internal USB port that contains files of movies, TV programs etc I've lost...

Thanks for the reply---I kinda thought that might be the case.

Thanks for the reply and when I do as you describe the drop-down dialogue box doesn't seem to offer that selection, other names I've tried do have it. Has the user elected to not allow PM's? TIA

Unfortunately Hajiki I have no idea what you're asking me. :( I've not changed or otherwise modified the PC since it first arrived; very, very little use from time to time.

I tried that previously and just now but as I'm using Classic Shell it still doesn't appear as I thought it should. Now when I do this ^^^^ the search shows a File labled WMP which does indeed have provisions to pin the program to the start menu. Interesting there were no replies to the...

Well I inserted a store-bought CD into the drive and when it opened I right clicked on the tab that appears in the task bar (bottom of the screen). A pop up dialog box opens, select "pin this program to the task bar" and that should do it. Previously WMP didn't appear in my start list but now...

Okay so I got this sorted out--DOH! :) Simply had to pin it to the start menu! Thanks for looking in anyway. J W

So running an HP Envy 700-214 PC with the Win8 Pro upgrade added. I can't seem to find any reference for WMP in my list of installed programs however if I insert a CD and hit play the Now Playing window pops up and I can switch to My Libraries where WMP is visible. I'm confused..... How do I...
