I'm Sort Of Warming Up To Windows 8 I have it working and looking a lot like Windows 7 with a Start Button and a working taskbar. It still does some strange things that I assume will be fixed before the final version such as when using Internet Explorer to open a Favorite. I click on one of my Favorites to open a web page but IE wants to send it to my printer instead of opening the page. But that's part of the development process. It doesn't do this every time, just occasionally.
It works for me in Standard User account and Admin account using IE10 and Firefox 13.0. What you're are probably doing is running Opera as Admin but you are logged in to a different user. You cannot drag documents, files and/or pictures from one user to a program running as another user. Works the same way in Windows 7.
I have only 1 admin user, checking in Task Manager "User name" column I confirm the same user for all process.
Ok I downloaded the latest version of Opera and tried it myself. Dragging files to minus.com doesn't work for me either in Opera but if you click on the little cloud in the box on the minus page you can upload files that way. Looks like it's an Opera problem because it works fine in Firefox and IE.
Hey again. still having issue when I shutdown from 8, and cold boot, often just comes up with cursor and a black screen and I have to scan disk. Also, magnet links don't seem to work for me in chrome or IE...
Your comment make me to do a deep investigation and for my surprise after move my Firefox portable folder it's working like a charm. Thanks for the feedback.
i installed win8 rp on my hp laptop haven't had any issues,except dvdfab which i fixed by installing a beta of,i actually like win8 a lot,it is way faster than win7,don't know why everyone is having hassles about no start menu,the start page can be used just the same,I've pinned my programs and links to explorer folders like music,downloads,computer,network,win's update ect,i just start programs from there,i haven't got anything pinned to the taskbar,i don't like it looking cluttered,as for the charms bar it doesn't pop out for me if i am closing Firefox,unless i go right up into the corner,which i don't need to do just to click the close button,i for one will be acquiring win 8 when it's released,just hope i will be able to install it on my two computers without having to pay for two copies.
Was planned for last week but delayed. Will check NVidia site now to see if there's something. Edit: NVidia planned a beta driver release for Release Preview to be released end this week. They will update Friday with more information regarding this beta.
Unable To Upload A Video To Vimeo With Windows 8 It kept disconnecting. I restarted the computer and booted up in Windows 7 and uploaded that same file without any problems.
I've noticed that chrome make computer freeze more frequently. Dunno if really is, but seems so. I'm using IE now and so far no freeze. Btw i'm going to try chrome metro version, maybe issue fixed? In Microsoft forum i read about speedstep enabled provokes freeze, unfortunately on my g73sw there is no way to disable it.
Only problems I have had so far is some games not working on windows 8 such games with nProtect GameGuard and certain games just flicker white every few seconds while playing lol but it's to be expected xD apart from that 0 problems and working very well indeed ^^
