Intel Wireless Display allows you to stream content including videos from your WiDi ready laptop to your WiDi compatible device. This is a great technology to take advantage of if you want to display pictures or videos on a larger screen such as an HD compatible television, especially if routing cables is it not an option.
To take advantage of Intel WiDi Technology, you need to have the following:
See the attached Intel WiDi Quick Start Guide or Intel WiDI User Guide.

You need to enable Microsoft Update, so that the system will be able to install updates for products other than the core Windows operating system, which includes Endpoint Protection.
The instructions below are for Windows 8.1 and Server 2012R2, however similar instructions apply to Windows 8 and Windows 7.
System Center Endpoint Protection will then update automatically without any problems, and manual updates will also work.

Installing Symantec Endpoint Encyption (SEE) on systems that have the Virtual PC Health Check installed may cause the system to stop booting.
Symantec Endpoint Encryption and Windows 7 with Virtual PC Health Check
When you try and boot the system you will be presented with the "Press F3 for Virtual PC Check". During a normal boot, you would ignore this message and let it timeout. However with Symantec Endpoint Encryption installed after the message has timed-out, it will simply re-appear and the boot process will not continue.
If you press F3 you will get a message that says "NF" and the system will not proceed any further.
Installing Symantec Endpoint Encryption on a system that has the Virtual PC Health Check installed. Virtual PC Health Check uses boot code that doesnt work when the partition layout is changed by programs such as Symantec Endpoint Encryption.
1. If you are deploying an Operating System image, use the option in your disk imaging software to remove Virtual PC Health check by deleting the entire contents of the hard drive (for example, use the DISKPART CLEAN command).
2. If you are not deploying an image, or if you are already at the point where the system cannot boot, you will need to use the recovery process below:
Stage 1 - Boot from the Windows 7 DVD
Stage 2 - Start the Recovery Command Prompt
Stage 3 - Repair the Master Boot Record (MBR)
This will have now stopped Virtual PC Health Check from running as the Master Boot Record (MBR) will have been replaced. This should allow the system to complete booting while Symantec Endpoint Encryption is installed.

The cause appears to be some recent product updates that may break the activation process.
Reinstalling the product may solve the problem, or re-entering the product key (if not using KMS activation) may also help. However, there is also a work-around below. The work-around is designed for 32-bit Office however the instructions differ depending on whether you are running 32-bit or 64-bit Windows. When you are running 64-bit Windows, 32-bit Office resides in the C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office14 folder. When you are running 32-bit Windows, Office resides in the C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office14 folder.
Windows 7 or Windows 8 64bit Work Around
This should then reactive office. Look for confirmation that this was successful.
Windows 7 or Windows 8 32bit Work Around
This should then reactive office. Look for confirmation that this was successful.

Web browsers such as Internet Explorer (IE) and Firefox have a large number of add-ons available through the internet to increase or enhance functionality. Unfortunately these add-ons can cause IE and Firefox to slow down or become unresponsive during use.
How to Resolve this problem
or:
Internet Explorer
To reset your Internet Explorer settings, you need to click the 'Tools' menu tab (or the star settings button) > 'Internet Options' > click the 'Advanced Tab' > then click the 'Reset' button. (Use the "Delete Personal Settings" check box if you have no personal settings such as cookies which you need to keep, as this may also help towards solving the issue)
Firefox
You need to click the 'Help' menu tab > click the 'Troubleshooting Information' > 'Reset Firefox' button.
Both of these methods will keep your Bookmarks or Favourites.

When entering a MAK activation key into Office 2010 the setup wizard may report that it "Cannot Verify the License". You will then be prompted to repair your Office installation but doing so may not fix the problem.
The cause is a problem with the Office Software Protection Platform software component.

If you use Internet Explorer (IE) on some graphically intensive or image intensive web sites, systems with older integrated graphics may crash. For example, if you use Internet Explorer with Google Maps Satellite mode to view landscape images of an area, and then move or scroll the viewed area, the browser window may become unresponsive or the system may suffer a blue-screen crash.
The cause of this is the advanced rendering engine available in Internet Explorer (IE) and Windows Vista or newer. Internet Explorer will use graphics card rendering technologies where available to improve the smoothness and performance of the image to be viewed, allowing for quicker screen re-draws, zooms etc.
Windows incorrectly identifies that some lower integrated graphics solutions are capable of the required functionality in hardware, when Windows Vista, 7 or 8 are being used.
Known problem chipsets include:
Generally, updating the graphics card driver or increasing the dedicated video memory does not solve this issue.
Turn off GPU rendering in Internet Explorer
To do this, open up IE tools (by clicking Tools, or the star symbol) and then go to Internet Options. Go into the "Advanced" tab and then turn on "Use software rendering instead of GPU rendering". The result should look like the example below.

WiDi is actually built into Windows 8.1 and no additional software application is needed. To connect to your device you need to:
Sound
If you have an issue with sound (such as the sound is not reaching the receiving device) then you will need to go into the Sound properties within Windows and ensure that he default Playback device selected is your receiving device.
Unable to see the receiver (error relating to non DFS Channel)
If you can't see the receiver in the list of devices, it may be due to the network adapter settings. WiDi only operates on 2.4GHz so on some systems it may be necessary to disable the 5GHz band.
