    I noticed a bug with Firefox but might not be a issue specifically with Firefox. When Options->Advanced->"Use hardware acceleration when available" is enabled (which it is by default), the window will have display issues or glitch.
    Example:
    0001.jpg 0002.jpg 0003.jpg

    I think this is related to Direct2D.

    GPU used is Geforce 8400M GS. Latest drivers and ones that come with Windows 8 do the same.

    Another bug I noticed is when I click eject on a drive that is a mounted ISO (is this how you unmount a cd-image?).
    It causes my network drives to temporary disappear (only visually on that window). Refreshing the window makes them show up again.

    To see which programs are suspended click on the task manager, view, start values and show suspended status

    Have peculiar problem with
    all 3 browsers,opera,Mozilla,IE9

    --if i using VS2010sp1 express and
    use a browser to search for some
    source code the whole system
    freezes and screen goes blank.

    Laptop must be restarted,using power
    button.

    Update:
    Was not just programs mentioned; but
    could be any program or windows explorer
    when opening and closing.
    However i noticed an update for nvidia drivers
    and installed that and since problem is gone.

    I installed Office 2010 but unable to get any of the updates. That is a big surprise. I am especially concerned about the updates that plug the security vulnerabilities. I'm really surprised that Microsoft allowed this build of Windows 8 to be released without the capability of updating Office.

    When installing some items using compatibility mode, multiple campat instances will appear on task bar (4 while install my web cam drivers). After installation, two instances remained on the taskbar until the process in the systray was closed.

    1. Pinball FX2 / Any game
    2. The game is able to load, but has very low fps
    3. Check device manager first, you'll see that microsoft driver is installed in display adapter, look for your video card's driver made by its manufacturer (win7 driver will do), collapse the display adapters in device manager, update the driver, browse for the driver from manufacturer, you may or may not restart.

    BSOD in restart session(Windows 8. Windows 8 Server):

    The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck. The bugcheck was: 0x00000133 (0x0000000000000001, 0x0000000000000784, 0x0000000000000000, 0x0000000000000000).

    STOP 0x00000133: DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION

    The problem also occurs in many people.
    The problem exists when you install the Windows 8.
    Any fix for this?

    I have very strange problems.
    It doesn't want to open the Sound Mixer, UAC, Task Manager, IE, Windows Defender, change the lockscreen background... I can run some of them with "run as administrator"
    Anyone knows how to fix it ?

    Unless this was broken then fixed in an earlier build this isn't a "regression". It's likely that setting will go away.

    EDIT: I re-signed AMD's display drivers a few days ago, stripping the WHQL signature. I didn't have any issues installing these drivers, so can you provide more details?

    video/music is very annoying with its restriction in America. If I could get their location I could probably fix it o.0
