The clock appears when the charms bar appears. Alternatively there is a Metro app called "The Time" that displays the time/date in a tile. Quote:

So it's a driver problem? Maybe 12.11beta would solve it? Using 12.10 ATM. It was working fine before, maybe a W8 update broke it? Last week I played for about 4 hours straight with no problems.

I got a question...with Windows 8 i noticed you must have a email address, now does this mean your windows is locked to the email address? and do you HAVE to have an email address to use windows 8 or to install it?
Cheers |

I didn't link to my MS account so no, no email address required. Might be needed for some functions but worked fine without it.

Anyone else tried running 3Dmark 11?
I get this error code no matter what I do and can't find a fix on Google (yet). Workload Single init returned error message: DXGI call IDXGISwapChain::SetFullscreenState failed: The requested functionality is not supported by the device or the driver. DXGI_ERROR_NOT_CURRENTLY_AVAILABLE.

It will work. I installed almost five year old drivers for my wifi card. Click right on the exe and choose troubleshoot compatibility.

Got W8 Pro installed with Media Center, slowly finding out how things work and getting all my stuff back on.
My biggest problem I can't change my background...

Has anyone tried the Windows To Go thing? I hadn't heard about it until I read about it in an article this afternoon. I know it's only for enterprise, but still. Sounds pretty nice.
