What To Allow Threw The Firewall I have eset firewall and it keeps trying to let apps connect to Microsoft.Which one can I allow and which ones not to?If I click deny and remember this setting,it just keeps trying. Any thoughts?
If I set it to auto wouldn't the firewall just let them all go outgoing and incoming?I don't want Microsoft to connect outgoing except for errors during the preview.I did a optimization already and microsoft deleted all my programs and only kept microsoft programs.The o/s put them in a folder called windows.old.So after that happend I reinstalled win 7 and did a backup.Then installed win 8 over win 7. Installed my programs then did another backup..Just in case,But I'm still worried how deep Microsoft is looking into the o/s..it don't need to have 10 connections to the internet going.
Thanks, jayblock, I hadn't checked that out yet ... indeed, pretty kool. I see you keep yours set at 100, too.
Both Java and Flash are *known* security hazards - something both Oracle and Adobe acknowledge. Both stick around because developers that learned them are like haters of the Windows 8 UI - they refuse to learn anything else. You have desktop IE10 (which still supports Java and Flash) for normal browsing, and you have MetroIE for high-risk sites, and those that don't require either Java OR Flash (or any plug-in support whatever).
I noticed that that are new NVidia drivers on WU version 296.17. When I go to the NVidia website those drivers are not listed, not even in the beta section. Also read this on the NVidia forum about these drivers. This a quote from the tech support member on their forum. "We do not recommend users install these drivers on Windows 7 or Windows Vista. This driver was created for Windows 8 Consumer Preview as a separate branch and has not been tested on other operating systems."
Finally got WCP installed on desktop - dual booting with 7 - all well - one question: Is there someway to change/adjust the color of the metro start menu and also adjust tile positions.? I thought I had seen something about this, no can find now.
anyone found force snap? Without the snap feature the life of metro is useless. Anyone found anyone found a way to force the snap? I have a 1280x800 res and intel gma graphics
