Windows 8 Developer Preview & Windows 7 Ultimate (both 64-bit)
IE10 "Metro mode" disabled?
My IE10 seems to have its "Metro mode" disabled. I can't seem to use it. The Internet Explorer tile in the Metro Start Menu just brings me to desktop and opens IE (in the desktop instead of opening it in Metro). I barely recall it was working (goes into Metro when opened in the start menu) when Win8DP was newly installed. I can't exactly figure out what cause it or how to bring back its "Metro mode".
If it helps, I also applied a few others (which I don't think affects IE, but still...):
One of the themes from the program "Blue Poison" (just a theme and nothing else) and http://www.eightforums.com/tutorials...ndows-8-a.html
Though, normally, I use Firefox instead of IE and I just found this out when I accidentally clicked IE's Metro tile. But it's still bothering me.

So there are 4 browsers in my Win8, the two flavors of IE10, Firefox, and Chrome. Most of the time IE10 is the defualt for things like Outlook links (even though FF is my DEFAULT browser) but I managed to change it in Outlook. Funky!
