Thanks for advice OvaryActing, it appears that my G15 keyboard is somehow causing the problem but only when running Windows 8 on my SSD drive. As soon as I unplug the keyboard the problem vanishes completely. Tried to run Logitech drivers in compatibility mode to no avail. I'll keep trying, thanks for trying to help. I also tried using different .iso direct from Msoft but no difference. Update: Changing to a different standard old Logitech keyboard fixed the problem completely. So we can conclude that Logitech G9 gaming keyboard + SSD drive + Windows CP 8 = freezing mouse in corners therefore no mouse access to Metro or charms bar. This was also confirmed to be a bug at the Logitech forum.
Another anomaly (I'm beginning to think the apps just aren't ready for prime-time and, by extension, neither is the Win8 CP). When I go to my watched stocks from the Finance app and click on a story related to the stock, it just takes me back to the Start screen. Maybe because I have Firefox as my default browser?
Again, copying/moving files are stopping in mid transfer and refusing to cancel, and the transfer stays in the cue until system reboot. Happened 3 times today.
MetroUI is bad and sfc /scannow does not repair it, maybe cause of the failed nvidia 295.73 whql driver install? also possible reasons are: installed & removed kaspersky IS beta 2013, tried Charmbar Customizer - did not work so I reseted all settings PS: clickin on help does not open anything, I don't know how to fix this issue I've had similar issues with the developer preview & so I proclaim it's way too easy to kill this new feature!!!
Same problem (calendar could not be opened), reinstalling the Mail,... Apps do not solve the problem...
no, there seems to be an internal communication problem from the apps to the appstack, or from the appstack to the web : ( also there's no fix in the system service (maintainance) area for metro ui app problems.
Now that I removed my Logitech G15 keyboard I can't believe how stable this Op system is. When installed to my SSD drive it's just so good and also more stable for me compared to Windows 7. I've been running video's, moving files, watching movies with WMC, playing games, testing all the Apps with no problems at all. I can't ever go back to Windows 7 now.
Battery Drain The Battery Time is less then 2 hours. Nearly half of the time compared to Win 7 Pro /64bit No solution Yet Win8-64 bit (and 32 bit) on DeLL Vostro 3750
The problem is the keyboard-driver for the media-control of the keyboard. In the device-manager you can find two "HID-keyboard". One of them is the Driver for the media-control of the keyboard. Just uninstall one of them and you see when you have the one. Then "Update" the Driver for that and select in the manual install mode "HID-compliant device". Now restart!
Still sticking with the problem to open apps out of the Metro screen. When opening IE10 from desktop it works. Never had a touch performence like this before! Boot time is increadible fast but no access off metro screen to most new apps.(resolution is said to be wrong, but recommended by system!) Same machine running W7 was fine at all without any problems. Guess Metro is not finished and will be modified totally. Probably desktop will disappear totally as of my guess. When switching through all that stuff, I assume an 8 for Tablets and a consumer-business version for offices using regular keyboards, mouses and screens. Office people will not (cannot) work with a touch screen as this is not practicable at all. Gamers will need this totally and games will be written for this purpose. So, there will be two diffenent versions or selectable ones during install. As it is right now it is just a game, nothing else......but I like it Paul
It's never as easy as it seems Mrx47,. I've tried uninstalling or updating every combo of those HID drivers to no avail. Works perfectly with my other Logitech keyboard though.
Firefox Flash Player Problem I have tried several times by re-installing and other kind of trouble-shooting. But every time I tried got the same problem... Please help me to solve ....

I have this issue with windows 8, i tried to open a tax program and get this error. It is not the antivirus program because it will work in another computer that does not have with windows 8 and the same antivirus software. it has to be a windows 8 issue. Does anyone know how to fix the error. The software is encrypted to provide copy protection. Certain virus scanning programs may prevent the software from starting due to their heuristic analysis.
It's not a real fix but when you get on windows desktop without going to corners, you can press CTRL ALT DEL and then sign out of windows. When you sign in it should be working fine on your G15.
