    Does (don't laugh) *Microsoft IntelliPoint* detect your mouse?

    I've used IntelliPoint 8.x with my Logitech V220 in Windows 7 since I've owned it (it basically beats SetPoint with the V220 like a big bass drum). IntelliPoint detects my V220 in the DP as well - therefore, I'm a Very Happy Camper.

    If I understand what you're asking correctly, I've used Truecrypt in the WDP to encrypt my C drive (system partition). So yeah, TrueCrypt works fine in Windows 8. (and I didn't use BitLocker because it wouldn't let me encrypt my drive because I've got quite an error or two in my file system......)

    May I suggest that a new thread is started for WCP to prevent confusion?

    Hey guys :) I have a problem with F1 2011 (the video game by Codemasters). When I try to run it it shows me "Could not find F1_2011.exe", but it's in the folder. I have never had similar problem. The other one is when I try to run it not from the RZR Launcher but from the F1_2011.exe - it shows me "The procedure entry point alSource3i could not be located in the dynamic link library C:\Program Files (x86)\F1 2011\F1_2011.exe

    Can anyone help me?

    thank you, already reported that the razer ac-1 soundcard is not working, and I can't really understand why it isnt since it was working with the DP, what did they do with the drivers >.<

    I have a bug (graphics glitch) in Firefox - colors in the title bar + tabs / menu / address bar are often bad. It happens for me in previous versions of w8 also and no solution. Someone have this also or know the fix?

    1) Firefox has graphics issues on the CP which can only be resolved by disabling hardware acceleration
    2) Skype 5.8 is crashing big time, eating CPU and then freezing up. Downgrading to Skype 5.3 works fine on the CP, however.

    gaius, if you prevent latest skype from loading "skype home" it will run perfectly fine. Skype Home has a flash script issue, once script stops, dont ever let it go to skype home again.

    firefox users, switch to palemoon. its a tweaked firefox. no graphical issues here with it. however, that all might be graphical driver issue for people using firefox and having this issue.

    There is a way to install Comodo but it will not work after restart.

    Any other firewall working with Win8?
