ALT+TAB has been around forever in Windows but in the last week or so I have notice on two computers running Win 8 that it doesn't work anymore. What up with that?

Ok, I just found the problem. I had to make some changes in privacy badger to allow the site to play. I had recently added it, it's pretty easy to change the accesses by opening the list. But I still don't know why flash player crashes on other sites, that has been happening for some time now.

It loads and plays fine in IE, but not firefox, which I prefer to use, especially since the ad blocks actually work. The problem loading this page is a new one. I also have a problem with flash player crashing frequently though, so I don't know if it's related or not.

Just lately I have trouble with certain sites, like specifically Fox News Insider, not loading properly. The spinning dot wheel just keeps turning. I have Win 8.1 and use Firefox browser latest version. Please advise. Vann P.S. Thanks also for all the previous help with issues. This site is...

Thank you. I finally got it fixed. It was like getting chewing gum out of a very deep sneaker sole. The only other problem that remains is that for some reason I have begun to have a system dialog box appear half off screen, (at the top left of the screen) at start up. I cannot drag it into...

The user accounts window looks much like the one given in the tutorial in that there is a home user account and the the home user/admin acct. I don't want to login to the MS acct in order to use my computer so perhaps I need to delete it and then set the computer to automatically login to the...

It seems that the MS acct has been designated as the admin acct, so if I set it to automatically sign into the other acct then will I be unable to have full access to my settings?

I was forced into creating a MS account in order to try out an app that I wanted to try. Now I have to login every single time I resume/use the computer. I really resent this level of control over a machine which I own. This is giving me good reason to ditch MS products completely. I have tried...

As long as MS continues to make huge steps backwards with every new OS, the forums will be busy sharing fixes.

Ok, I've got it fixed. Thanks guys!

That's exactly what is happening.

Ok, perhaps it stopped what it was supposed to stop, but the problem I am having is that the charms bar on the right keeps appearing all the time, and it is something I never use. I just want it to go away.

I have done the download to stop the charms from appearing and it didn't work, even though I did it again, and have rebooted.

I have the same problem and found this thread searching for an answer.

I'm getting adjusted to it, since I can see my way around now. I'm glad I found this forum.

I noticed that, they also have my docs under libraries now. At least now that I can see the file path I can learn my way around. Thx.

Thank you so much Shawn. I will surely direct others to this forum. The store was ready to charge me $200 to work on something that I thought was a problem I had inadvertently created myself when I was only trying to make the OS functional to the level of all the previous windows versions, when...

I just got a laptop with windows 8 last week. I hate the things they are doing with windows, my last OS was XP. I found that the file path names were hidden by default and set out to change that. In doing so I changed the access permissions thinking that it would allow me to see the file paths...
