    Yeah seems they want the https:// for it to work, just add it manually, don't think we're supposed to post live links here.

    @ReelFiles

    I did like the shot. Since the beginning of works okay for a while and then stop again.
    I loaded OS Win8 the virtual machine.
    Would be asked later to log in with Live ID?

    hey, new to the forums, and have a couple questions.

    1. did anyone try any games (like l4d2) and saw a difference and how they ran?
    2. does it run better then windows 7? (dual core)

    haven't tried games but definitely much faster than Windows 7 (I used it as my main OS in my dual core netbook)

    turns out, on windows 8 dev preview, windows live messenger always automatically signs in using the live-id account credentials used to log-on to windows. I want windows live messenger to automatically logon to another hotmail id everytime i open. unlike before, wlm does not remember and save the account you'd last signed in with. how to fix this?

    The message says: "We´re unable to gather any weather info. Please check your network connection".

    The other app (most of them) are ok.

    I just tried the Weather App on only wifi and it seems to work fine on either connection. On the other hand Socialite hasn't worked for me for 2 days :/

    Guys the thing that works for me on the apps is go into the Task Manager and shut down those apps that are not functions, then go into metro mode and restart them. For some reason the apps hang in the suspend mode. :cool:
