    What do you mean locked? Click on the desktop tile to go to 'classic mode'.

    What is your screen resolution? 1024x768 is minimum for running Metro Apps and 1366x768 for snapping multiple Metro Apps.

    The only other thing I can think of is that maybe it's not activated. If it is indeed activated but not working I would reinstall the OS

    Probably need to go to Power Options in Control Panel and set your hard drive to "Never Sleep" o_O

    Uploaded a new OS again and City does not operate unless the Control Panel, Internet Explorer and desktop. All the rest is locked up, even those games. If I click setup, it would seem that everything is unlocked. Windows is activated.
    Can anyone help anything.

    You can also associate a live id acct to a local user acct afterwards, it's in control panel>users that's what I did and mine work.

    Your "PC Specs" nearly same as mine
    AMD Athlon 64X2 Dual Core 4800+ 2.0GB Ram, NVIDIA GeForce 6600 GT. Fresh installed and works good. Did you try remove "NVIDIA GeForce" use the inboard VGA install,after success put it back and install driver, hope it works that way.

    Proof, or are you making it up?

    I don't think Windows 8 has reached beta coding stage at all.

    As I said I cant get past the "expanding files" during initial install process. How can I perform what you suggest if I cant get past that?
    Cheers
