I got an error msg
Error: 0xc004F074

SimonAndal: Been using 8 for a while now, and I can honestly say I don't miss the Start Orb.

That said, I'm up here by 12.14am installing 8 on 3 different laptops. Meanwhile earlier on today (yesterday, then) I installed 1 for somebody. Sucks to be me, I know.

Ifebazz: @moonraker you rock! done! Now how do I conquer the .Net framework 3.5 issue?

I just bought a Toshiba Satellite C855 which came with windows 8. My problem with this machine is that it automatically start without pressing the power button whenever I open it.
How do I fix this problem?
Thanks

Ifebazz:
Hey since you've been running Win8 awhile now, how did you overcome that .Netframework 3.5 ish? Its getting me all worked up. Thanks

SimonAndal: I just realised something now, although that's kinda late now as it's cost me some of my rep as the High Geek in my residence hall: WINDOWS 8 AND AMD ARE A MATCH MADE IN HELL!!!
Seriously. AMD processors Bleep UP Windows 8 like hell. Your graphics will deteriorate to the 9th levels of hell faster than you can say 'gay Bleep'.
So it turned out those 3 laptops I was upgrading were all AMDs and the owners came back to me the following day complaining of serious lag in graphics. Videos don't play well (not even SD), games lag like shit and in one's case, all his USB ports ceased their fucking functionality (although that one is a Compaq driver problem).
Now I haven't tried updating their graphics drivers (although I'm pretty sure the problem ain't from there), but I'll get back at y'all when I'm done. So in the meantime, if you're tryna upgrade an AMD machine, FUCKING DON'T!

4llerbuntu: If thats true then thats Microsoft's fault

They developed the os for years. Its up to them to make it work with whats in the market. How can PROCESSORS be giving such issue. Its not like those are addons that AMD will be responsible to bring up, the processor is d computer. Did they not test on AMD processors during development?

mavtrevor: All the complaints here are the reasons why Microsoft releases updates all the time, Windows 8 isn't perfect yet, but i believe with time the updates will help to fix so many errors, just the other day i had a serious error from now where saying 'The Extended Attributes are Inconsistent' i almost formatted my PC, cos system restore didn't solve it for me, i felt it could be a malware attack since i use Windows defender, i installed Bitdefender scanned my PC in full and no malware or virus was detected...then i knew its an OS wahala. Well somehow i got it fixed.

A friend of mine just installed Windows 8 on his hp touchsmart tm2 and his PC heats up like its gonna burst in flames, it didn't happen while he was using Windows 7. Anyone got idea why its heating up that much?

4llerbuntu: hmmn. This is really weird. this is what Linux used to be without drivers and what-not.

The offline KMS activator I used initially activates Windows 8 for 6 months but you can run it again and again to re-activate your windows whenever it expires. . .but maybe before it expires, DAZ or some other genius would have come up with a permanent activator Still want it?



Most 2013 antivures are compatibe with Windows 8. . .so it's your choice which you want to use.



The start menu button of the older Operating Systems is gone forever but there are lots of 3rd party applications/softwares that one can download and install that would give a start menu button with the functionality of the innate windows start menu button.

Most of these start-menu softwares are fully customizable and even give you the option of skipping the metro screen UI & booting to your desktop directly, deactivating metro 8 hot corners, deactivating sidebar etc Some are freeware while others have to be purchased but if you sabi road u go find your way. . . .u know na

Some of these start menu softwares are: Start8, Windows 8 Start Button, Pokki Start menu, Free Windows 8 Start Menu, Power8, Revel BringBack, StartMenu8, Start Menu X, ViStart, Win8 Start Button etc.

I use StartMenu8 (a freeware) and this is what my start menu looks like. . .

ciphoenix: why is it looking upside down

semid4lyfe:

Bros, na so I take arrange (personalize) my desktop o. The taskbar is on the top corner so automatically the start button is there too while I have object dock with all my apps at the bottom of the screen.

Also, I don't keep anything on my desktop. I've had it like this since 2009. It's cool and different, don't you think?

See my screenshot
