I am out of ideas as well. Think I will just leave well enough alone and stay with 8. If it ain't broke. . .

Both, actually

I downloaded and installed fresh.

Both are fine in device manager. In the display/screen res screen I see only two monitors. Detect button detects only the two that show. It seems that every time Msoft fixes one thing they break three. There is really no pressing reason to use 8.1 other than curiosity. In 8 I have good backup...

Downloaded the latest drivers. The three monitors work great with Windows 8

I have three monitors setup in Windows 8. Two of them to a Radeon 4670 and the third to the onboard HD graphics 4000. They work quite well in Windows 8. When I upgraded to 8.1 the HD 4000 monitor no longer comes up. The adapter is recognized and device mangler says it is working and has the...

I installed Windows 8 RTM as an upgrade to Win 7 64 ultimate. All went smoothly other than getting a couple of existing programs to play nice. Now, windows loads up to the start very quickly and then slows to a dead crawl while it loads a couple of apps I put in startup - I mean about two...

I kept trying with 8. Other OSs in the past I started out hating and grew to love them once I learned how to navigate them. Same with some office apps. For that reason I have installed it several times and worked to learn it. Every time it just seemed to get worse - with enough customization...

I just read an article stating that wonderful Microsoft had removed gadgets from Windows 8 RTM due to security issues.:mad: If that holds true it will be the death knell for 8 for me. Apparently there will be yet another work around for those, like me, who love their gadgets. That on top of...

It will be interesting to see how it shakes out. Many big corps still have XP on hundreds of thousands of desktops and support is just about done for XP so these corps will soon be forced to upgrade. Were I an IT executive (was, now retired) I would strongly advise the President to upgrade to...

The problem I see is that we are talking about the home user here - a fairly small market. The enterprise is of far more importance to Microsoft. Thousands of companies are still using XP and will really have to upgrade soon. I think business uses far more desktops than tablet. I find it hard...

I have now worked with the release preview long enough to progress from hate to what should I say? Acceptance, perhaps? Windows may load a bit faster but it seems to take a bit longer to load start up items so performance appears to be a wash. I have learned to live without the start button...
