Here is a clever ad in a tv show.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MFypTNsyEHY This looks like the pro ?

caleb · Nov 2, 2012, 10:05 AM

Which user account did you guys go with the MS one or just local?
Are there any things one must read about before installing ? File system and stuff like that ?

Live OR Die · Nov 2, 2012, 10:07 AM

I went with local and no its pretty much the same as 7.

20mmrain · Nov 2, 2012, 10:39 AM

Anyone else noticing Memory leaks with windows 8? I Googled it and the two areas I noticed were with AMD/ATI drivers (Which I am an nvidia user) and with Battlefield 3 (Possibly the problem but I haven't run it yet).

If others are getting the same symptoms has anyone else fixed it yet. If specs are needed they are up to date under my profile pic.

I've noticed some leaks. I couldn't find the cause (couldn't care less about battlefield or whatever) but I fix it with Wise Memeory optimizer. It always works. Normal state (not idle and not overloaded either) uses less than 800 MB of RAM (x64 version here).

I'm not playing BF3 on the Win8 machine but I'm sure you could run the game in Win7 compatibility mode.

On a side note, another Windows 8 "cheat code" is win key + printscreen takes a snapshot of your screen. Png file in pictures folder.

TheMailMan78 · Nov 2, 2012, 09:50 PM

Are any of you guys checking your event viewer? I get stange warnings there like.....

"taskhostex (2840) The database cache size maintenance task has taken 60 seconds without completing. This may result in severe performance degradation. Current cache size is 122 buffers above the configured cache limit (153 percent of target). Cache size maintenance evicted 2 buffers, made 100107 flush attempts, and successfully flushed 0 buffers. It has run 58838 times since maintenance was triggered."

I know its a new OS with nothing really compatible but still this kinda crap bothers the hell out of me.

manofthem · Nov 2, 2012, 09:56 PM

I played BF3 a few times for 1-2 hrs each time after installing Win8, and i didn't notice anything unusual going on. I didn't check for any errors in the Event Viewer, but performance was solid without any noticeable issues.

I don't have any problems other then my OCD telling me to check the event viewer ever 10 minutes

I never thought to check it before, but now that I'm going to be thinking of it, i'll more be aware and take a gander

OK, I just checked. The same warning appeared for me the first time today about an hour ago and had several instances until half an hour ago. Strange coincidence?

Dunno. How many warnings do you have in total for the past 7 days?

114 Errors and 98 warnings. Don't give a damn. Interesting thing is his particular warning appeared just today.

caleb · Nov 3, 2012, 08:59 AM

Running PRO and I think i like it so far. The GUI needs some tweaking that's for sure - corner clicking explorer is a bit annoying.

How do I link my google account when it with 2 step authentication ?

Drone · Nov 3, 2012, 08:59 AM

0 Errors 8 Warnings in my eventvwr (since October 26). Holy cow it's 8 days since W8 got released, time flies so fast!

Whatever ... two utilities people might need

W8 codecs for those who don't have WMC

And another Start Menu for W8 from IOBIT.

What mobo are you running? I have a feeling most my problems are from all the beta drivers that are out right now. ALSO have you restarted in 8 days?

It's Asus Laptop

Yes I restart after updates and after drivers' installation (I installed realtek audio and nvidia beta drivers). Also I shut down laptop when I don't use it.

TRWOV · Nov 3, 2012, 04:14 PM

1 critical (hard shutdown due to a lock up), 60 errors and 86 warnings over here. SRT got out of sync a couple of times though, don't know if that's giving me the errors. I don't know if it's the SRT driver or the SSD, I'll swicht the SSD to see if that's the problem.

Millennium · Nov 3, 2012, 04:17 PM

Count me in. Installed but currently still using 7 - we'll see. Pro version.

thanks

You have to authorize the program.

I see that Microsoft needs to be an arse after all - can't add Gtalk to messenger.

Thanks for the tip MM
