Hi Mystere as I said they were only my opinions nothing more. If you disagree with them that is fine.

Thanks MDMD yes some people find it easy to use Metro on a PC, I am disabled so that probably does not help. I am glad you like it the more that do the better for Microsoft. As I said I like it on my laptop and enjoy using it. My nervousnous in putting it on our main pcs probably stems from...

Luckily most of the problem apps have recently been patched or updated, its just the pain of having to fork out for new releases of apps you bought only a while ago. Norton Ghost is certainly one that does not work and Norton are refusing point blank to update. Bizarrely most of the apps I...

OK this is only my opinion, so you are fully entitled to disagree with me, and of course many of you will. So to history lesson. I had to fight tooth and nail to get Windows eight working on a high end i7 with 16 Gb of RAM. I had to reinstall several times and have been up many nights until the...

That certainly looks a bit more polished than Macrium. Sounds like a really good option

Norton cold boot....so using Norton Ghost from Dos is an acceptable solution for Windows 8 don't make me laugh. They SHOULD FIX IT. If you are just going to do a cold image you might as well use the confusingly named windows 7 recovery tool (which you can find using the metro search tool) why...

I would recommend Macrium Win PE its free for non commercial use and provides the functionality of Norton Ghost. Norton by refusing to update Ghost for Windows eight are unwittingly forcing their user base to start using Macrium and once they do they will be unlikely to fork out cash for a...

I have checked dxdiag but it only shows the intel hd. I downloaded gpu-z and that shows both processors. Having searched extensively this afternoon I can see this was also a windows 7 issue, but I can not find a slolution. My Specs are Intel I7-3610qm Nvidia 630M with Intel 4000 16gb ddr3 1333 Ram

Hi All I am having an issue with the optimus technology within the driver for my Nvidia 630m. I have pointed all of my games that need it; to use the Nvidia processor instead of the Intel 4000 series. When I start the games the in game config menus show that the processor running is the...

Norton ghost is not an option sadly. The latest edition ghost 15 will install but wont activate. Norton have basically said tough luck to all there customers, just like they did with windows 7. What a wonderful company!

I thought I replied to this yesterday but must have not applied it. Thank you gborn it was because my pictures was set as excluded from indexing. It works fine now

I have several pictures folders in both my pictures and public pictures I also have individual photos at the roots of each directory. Windows 8 Photos app just comes up with a message "Can't find any pictures in here, make sure your pictures are in the picture library". They are!!!!! Any...

This is a load of marketing bullshit. The only reason the start menu, windows Aero etc has gone is because if you are going to create an operating system for a phone, a tablet and the pc the capability of the phone drives the application. You have to use the lowest common denominator. Its an...

I had for the same issue. I couldn't fix it, but have discovered the problem. unlike windows 7 the operating files for metro are not protected so if you change the permissions on the users app data folder which I had to do for one of my apps to install. then they stop working. I managed to...

Fixed it in the end. It wasn't Norton, it was damage done by a registry cleaner that said it was compatible with windows 8 but was not. Thankfully I had a backup I could restore and that fixed it.

I am having a problem changing the picture which ever way I try it, I get an error message saying "setting the account picture failed try again". I have checked the folder and all of the files are marked read only and I cannot change them. I don't know if its because I upgraded from 7 or if...

Right were to start: 1: difficult to access safe mode. 2: impossible to recover from the new "black screen of Death" 3: no media player its now an extra and at a cost!!!! 4: all games etc that used to be included you have to get from the New store. 5: no start menu from the desktop. Users will...
