Right click on the exe and select "Run as administrator".

None of those things are working.

And after a restart I can't right click again anymore even after I disabled Windows Defender.

And some of my programs that are set to start aren't even starting.

Ughhhh.....

EDIT: I'm just goign to reformat becaus so many basic thigns aren't working.

Programs aren't starting up, can't right click, internet won't automatically connect and worse of all run as administrator isn't working.

Ok this is what you do. Take one of those old computers and run the windows 8 install from Microsoft. It will download windows 8 then ask you how you want to save it. ISO or to USB or direct install. Pick ISO and burn it to a DVD. Take that DVD and install it on your personal PC and use the phone actvation.

Use the US version unless it checks which country your ISP is from. Its worth a shot.

It is available but for OEM builds only (hp, dell, acer, etc.). When the site was launched it didn't ask for any serial key but after a couple of days the hole was plugged.

"Retail" OEM licenses don't work AFAIK, or at least didn't work for me. full keys don't work either; again, just my experience.

The phone activation is completely automated, not sure if they care what number/country you call from. They just care that you have a valid license and give the correct numbers.

How To Calibrate your monitor in Windows 8


The easiest way to access the calibration tool in Windows 8 is to use the search option in Charms, highlight Settings, and type calibrate in the search bar.

Gamma Screen

Brightness/Contrast/Balance

[MxPhenom 216]

Using the Calibration tool in Windows never works. Makes it way more messed up.

Back on Nov 25, 2012 I bought Windows 8 Pro and today I finally got around to installing it along with Media Center.

Unless I'm missing something it looks like I'm going to have to give up my Solitaire addiction.

It's probably available in the store as a free game, but don't quote me on that

[AphexDreamer]

This might be a driver issue. But I can't have more than one application using audio at the same time.

If i'm listening to a song in chrome and open up a music player to listen to a track it won't work unless I quit chrome and vice versa.

Same thing with games. I can't listen to music and play games at the same time.

Not sure what to do aside from waiting for a driver update.

Anyone else with X-fi having such issues?

Yes it is. As well as all other Windows games (Mahjong, Minesweeper and so on).

Freaking awesome new IE ad.



I like it!

[AphexDreamer]

That Ad personally makes me never want to use IE again.

To each their own.
