    Hi All,

    I was excited when Win8 RP was released a couple of days ago, and I did download the official http link from microsoft. After making the ISO USB ootable, I began to install on my Desktop and Laptop. After all the initial steps went well, I formatted the C drive and at copying the files
    the installation got stuck at 5% with the below shown Error. I have re-downloaded the ISO from microsoft, but the same problem persists. While downloading with IDM, there were a couple of power cuts and the download was resumed. This happened on both attempts. Please find me a solution, and help me in installing the Win8 RP ASAP- Thanks

    Metro IE gone here too, uninstalled FF, still gone. I think it disappeared when I turned UAC off/on, not sure. Turning UAC off/on now does nothing.

    ETA - It doesn't show up under ALL APPS.

    Anyone got firewall(which can stop/notify outgoing connections) working on W8RP 64-bit? So far I've tried Zone Alarm, Comodo, Windows Firewall Notifier and none of 'em working...

    Sup guys;

    Since 8250 the creative for xfi pce xpress driver console alway comes back to default to 2.1 after setting at 5.1.

    Each reboot brings it back to 2.1.

    Now that is stupid and plus creative don't support these drivers anymore.

    Cheers.

    P.S. good to see you again.

    Thanks alott. I just tried but either it allows everything(low filtering) or it blocks everything(medium filtering; it blocked Firefox without any pop-up under medium filtering), but do not display any notifications when it blocks any program. You have to become registered user/ donate in order to get notifications when it blocks. So it could be a good, just not a free option like Zone Alarm / Comodo.
