Thanks, of course I tried sleep again with aero glass enabled and the problem never happened when I woke the pc up. So I don't know what caused it, but it is gone now and thats good. I had a strange problem today with custom themes, maybe its just me but I installed uxstyle and used some...

------ Update. The problem was found to a program, the Aero Glass tool by big muscle. I don't know if any of you heard about this project over on msfn. But when I was putting the computer into sleep or standby I had that program running and aero glass on. I just now turned off the program...

I'll do some more research, I tried to explain how the problem acts the best I could. After wake up from sleep, the system pauses every 3 seconds then unpauses, then does it again over and over until I restart windows 8. Everything is up to date as far as the video card and OS. If I find a...

I'm having a problem, when I put my laptop into sleep mode then wake it up, the mouse and system freezes every few seconds. I have to restart the computer to fix it, I already updated win8 with all updates so I don't know whats making this happen. It never happened with any other windows os I...

I've been on a trip around the OS world, going back and forth a few times between WinXP, Linux Mint, WinVista, Win7, and Win8. I've gathered what seems to be a fair comparison between all of them, so if you have similar computer specs to mine this may help. Now I threw in Linux Mint so...

Anyone know of any free virus protection software, something with real time protection would be good. Any advice would be really nice :)

Reminder -- This is still an open poll, feel free to way in any opinions about aero glass. MDL is currently working on a patch but having a difficult time so for. As for the RP version, my methods of making it a fully working OS past expiration date are being tested now, only time will tell if...

I've noticed something has changed with RTM after installing back to work on aero glass. I first installed the RP theme but no aero glass then did the high contrast trick for transparency. Which I defaulted back because of its bugginess, when I noticed the theme suddenly has borders and the...

I don't plan on using it long term, only until MS makes an aero glass patch. I have my own security software, firewall and web browser with integrated protection. I make sure I'm protected, this is more of a project to learn the inner working core of windows 8. I run testing on VM also with RTM...

Mine will work forever, I can not talk about what I did though. My point for posting this topic is to see how people react to the RP look vs RTM look. " RTM should have a transparency option just like RP did." MS should not have taken away choice from people.

I've decided to switch back to RP its been very nice, aero glass is great and theres been no issues in performance. I can't go into much detail but theres certain things I did to RP which makes it a fully working OS. In my success I just thought I'd create a poll to see how many actually would...

Don't forget Aero Glass.

Well I'm giving up for now, I've been scowering the internet for any solution to bring back aero glass, but nothing has been made available yet. So I'm tired of looking everyday at this dull and bland desktop, I cussed at the thing many times, I just like to have a windows that looks nice. No I...

Are you sure about that ? Last time I checked I didn't think it gave me transparent aero glass on window borders. "These bland ugly colors have to go, their a distraction and stick out like a sore thumb. At least the aero glass made it translucent so your programs stuck out more and not the...

I don't see why everyone is so upset when there is start menu programs out there. I think all this energy should be focused more on coming up with a solution to bringing back aero transparency glass. With that back Windows 8 would be a true feature complete OS with many options for all types of...

After trying classic shell I actually like it alot, I still keep ex7 for win8 in case I want to shut down metro altogether. But with classic shell I can choose my start button, and choose alot cool setting for the menu. Very nicely done, I thank the people who made this possible. I made it to...

Ecevit was talking about MS forcing us like sheep to use its UI, maybe I misunderstood because UI to me means the desktop theme, Maybe hes talking about metro. But I am aware of the alternatives to metro since in my post I did state how I use win 7 explorer on win 8. " I can get MS games to...

I use Auslogics too, under the settings tab click program settings and go to algorithms. I check the third box down the list that says, Move system files to beginning of disk, this will speed up performance. I usually push defrag and optimize everytime, this program has really helped speed up...

I agree, I can get MS games to work, I can get w7 explorer for w8, I can even get win7 gadgets working again. Programs on my computer run faster, response times are quicker, core speed is fast, gaming is very good too on my part. Win8 is a nice system with lots of new improvements that make the...

Interesting method, worth trying on one of my older laptops. In this case I take it you must first remove the original cpu. This method would be time consuming, I would much rather spend time using this method to upgrade the gpu instead, can it be done ? maybe not having a socket, but it is it...
