I am new to Windows 8, and I am trying to install a few bits of software to improve the experience.
1. Trying to get a decent browser. Internet Explorer just hangs with the message 'Waiting for google.com'.
2. Managed to install Firefox, but Adobe Flash plugin keeps crashing in Firefox.
3. Tried to update Adobe Flash, but install_flashplayer11x32_mssd_aih.exe just hangs all day and does nothing.
4. Tried installing Google Chrome, but installer just hangs - as above.
5. Tried installing Opera, but installer just hangs - as above.
6. Tried installing ClassicShell, but installer just hangs.
Is there any way to get these programs to actually run when you request them, and not at some distant point in the future? I am a software developer, and I expect when I run a program, that it runs immediately.
