Hi All,
New to the forum here and new to Windows 8. My wife and I just bought new laptops, the same Dell Inspiron with an Intel Core i3, 4gb ram, etc, and Windows 8. We set her computer up last night and she first had issue accessing the store, weather and skype apps (and others, though these were the initial problems). After looking into this issue I discovered it to be linked to unchecking a box in IE Internet Opts ("use proxy-server...something") and that seemed to fix everything. The computer worked fine today until this evening when, again, there was a failed connection to the store. But this time it said it couldn't connect because it wasn't connected to the internet. However the internet connection was fine, and other apps (skype, etc) worked as normal. Thoughts?
For comparison, I set my computer up this evening and have yet to have any issues.
Thanks in advance for any assistance!
