Installed 8 - apps don´t work

I´ve installed windows eight and it all seemed to go fine but I can´t get the apps to work. Everthing runs ok via the desktop but when I try to open an app it opens, shows the logo for a few seconds and then returns to the Start screen.

When I open my old programs I´m directed to the Desktop and I´m informed that ati catalyst doesn´t work.

Anyone know whats wrong or what I´ve missed?

Sounds like the video card drivers or a resolution problem, what are you running it on and at what resolution.

I'm having the same exact problem! using the recomended resolution! aghhh lol

My resolution is 1366¤768 which is recomended. I´m not sure what you mean with running it on. It´s av HP with AMD Premium Vision and ATI Radeon which supports directX11. It should have the specs for running 8.

Thanks for trying to help!

I had the same problem, the tile apps wouldn't connect. After some troubleshooting with Microsoft, we found that Kaspersky Internet Security was the problem. I uninstalled it and the tiles worked fine. Afterwards, I reinstalled Kaspersky and the tiles are still working.

Same problem here, screen resolution 1920x1080 and all drivers up to date.

Found a solution. Avast anti virus was stopping the metro apps from running. Anyone know what the solution is here, have Avast issued an update so their software works on Windows 8?

You may be able to reinstall Avast and still have the Metro apps work. That's what happened with me and Kaspersky.
