    Solved Switchable Graphics Not working

    That's good news. In my case, I never did figure out whether this functionality was working or not when I purchased the laptop or whether it was crippled when I upgraded to 8.1. I was just so pleased to get it working I just moved on :)

    I had success as follows - you may want to give this a try: Make sure you have the latest drivers for both graphics cards installed - Windows Update should take care of that. Check for the ccc2_install.exe object on your system - I found it at location c:\Programs...

    I've come to a realization . . . .

    I read that Lenovo record sales story the other day with interest. I didn't see any reference as to what markets they sold them into nor what OS they were selling those systems with. Just curious is all.

    Dimming and Battery Life

    It sounds very similar to this problem reported over at the HP Forum. http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Display-and-Video-e-g/F2-and-F3-Brightness-Keys-Not-Working-on-DM4-3050US-Laptop/td-p/147628 It looks like something HP have yet to fix, but read through the thread right to the end...

    Solved Epson 7600 Printer Driver for Win 8

    Not a direct answer to your question but the Epson site says drivers for Win 8 64-bit drivers can be expected soon. they also state in the meantime to use the Win 7 driver and state how to install it. Apparently the Win 8 fault USB driver needs to be uninstalled first. Check it out and see if it...

    Windows 8 pro

    Keen to hear what significant differences you noticed bassfisher6522? must admit I'm still trying to get my head around it all but other than a lot more apps in the store, I haven't noticed much difference. Sounds like there is some good stuff I have yet to stumble across.

    Solved What are you guys using to make your system images now?

    Hi chis1neji. I use a variety of products, as I have to support a small and varied client base. For my own systems I am a long time happy user of Acronis True Image and will likely stick with that for Win 8. Paragon Software Group put out free versions eg. Backup & Recovery 10.x that do the...

    Visited local stores, dismayed with technology section

    Token Ring! Wow, that takes me back a few years. What you are seeing is the same over here. Lack of Win 8 customers in the stores and the staff have had a brief intro to it all from Microsoft but very limited knowledge let alone stock. Thank goodness for resources like this forum otherwise...

    Solved Help with Canon ip4500 printer, officially unsupported

    That's good news! Pretty sure I read somewhere that some users have successfully installed the Vista printer driver package under Win 8 and got it up and running. if that's the case, then the Win 7 drivers should also work. Regards.

Enterprise version I understand is only available through volume licensing and I could be wrong but believe that Windows 8 (Standard?) seems to be the OEM version installed on new lower end PC's. I have no idea how you...

    SkyDrive web apps vs MS Office

    I had a quick look at the web app feature (Office 2013) available via skydrive and for simple spreadsheets it looks like it could well do the job. But be aware that if you are using an existing book created in the desktop office application and use advanced functionality - macros, hyperlinks...
