    This is the error message in vs11 when the resolution is < 768p

    Code:
    ---------------------------
    Microsoft Visual Studio 11 Express for Windows Developer Preview
    ---------------------------
    Unable to activate Windows Tailored application '668d6aa4-787f-47b9-903d-fc21b32d1324_4sdaedqydyjdm!App'.
    
    Operation not supported. Unknown error: 0x80270232.
    ---------------------------
    OK   
    ---------------------------
    I'll try to find the source of this error and disable the resolution check and lock.

    Hi,
    I have Windows 8 installed, but I can't login anymore..
    I have three partitions, one of them is used for Windows 8. Is it safe for me to Reset ONLY the Windows 8 partition? (so my other two partitions will not be harmed?)

    No. The only way is to change the Picture in shsxs.dll.

    How to add a printer manually by ip/port? I'm stuck on this screen:

    UPDATE:

    Found the solution, open the item "Advanced printer setup" from "classic" menu.

    Hi. i got a problem with build 8102 on my laptop with switchable graphic. first. this is the only build i have managed to install. every other i have tried i got error. well my problem is brightness on the screen. when i do a clean install the brightness is very low with the dev drivers. i am using mobility radeon hd 6770m on my hp pavilion dv6-6071eo installed the original drivers for win 7. Got the brightness working right after. but when i restarts the laptop it go back to low settings so i can install the drivers again to get it to work. do anyone know what to do? the brightness go to its lowest the hotkey doesnt work. same as settings in windows. only when i install org driver it does. sorry for bad english

    Well I just ran into my first real glitch, but a restart resolved it. This is not a dual monitor setup, I just combined the two screenies in one .jpg

    Does Windows 8 create that extra 100MB partition with no letter like Windows 7 does if you let it do it's own thing. That's a PIA.

    Actually in Win 8 it's a 350MB hidden partition and I believe Windows 8 To Go uses a 300MB hidden partition, judging by the Windows 8 To Go workshop video.

    Does someone know how to reproduce or activate the new minimize effect windows has for desktop apps?

    If you wonder how this new effect looks, The window shifts slightly to the side and turns a little while fading out, looks f**king sweet.. but here its randomly happening.
    Not sure might be just a render bug, but lol.. it looks sweet :\

    Just disable animations in Advanced system properties, still looks pretty good with all settings off for performance.

    Lol no thats not what i mean, why would i want to disable the animations when its a Animation? Disabling the animations makes everything instant.
