My country is still blocking Youtube (and I support it btw), but any other source for watching the ad?

Mussels · Jan 27, 2013

gunna have to fire up my win 8 install to activate it i guess :/

AphexDreamer · Jan 27, 2013

So annoying. I lost sound from all my applications, music players and game until I closed chrome.

Why...

It's just a reminder. Everyone (who installed w8) gets that mail. If you activated then don't bother.

TheMailMan78 · Jan 28, 2013

I wonder if I reinstall windows 8 later if my code will still activate. I ended up going back to windows 7 because of driver issues. I hope my code works later on when I upgrade again.

Surface Pro 64GB Will Have 23GB Of Free Disk Space

That's uncool and it's x86

According to a MS spokesperson, the 64GB model of the Surface Pro will only have 23GB of free storage out of the box. The 128GB model doesn't fair any better as only 83GB of free storage will be available. The drop in available space is being blamed on the Windows 8 OS, included applications and the Windows 8 recovery partition which totals 41GB of used space.

Microsoft says its customers will be able to free up additional space if they decide to create a backup bootable USB and deleting the recovery partition. The Surface Pro also supports USB 3 hard drives and microSDXC cards, which can be used to extend its storage

It's bad. It's such a promising device but they ask too much, it's gonna be hardly available and you end up with half the advertised storage capacity. And Microsoft ask themselves why Android is winning the mobile OS market.

True. It didn't end that well and it's overpriced. It's hard to say exactly what is the right price for Surface but current price is relatively high. I hope Surface 2 or how they call it will admit and fix all these mistakes. I wanted to get a pro version but now I'm sure I'm gonna skip Surface. I hope Surface 2 will be much better if so I'll grab one.

Alright guys I did a bit of searching but did not really find much. Maybe I missed it, i'm not sure.

Anyway, here's my deal. I loaded 8 again, i'm a sucker for new stuff to play with, but i'm having issues with dual monitors.

What happened is I told Chrome to open in windows 8 mode, now that's not a big deal to me but I would really like to have dual chrome apps/windows open so I can browse/read more at once. I like the face there is a small side windows, I use it for messenger all the time, so that and maybe a clock on the other small window would be cool.

Now I have no idea if this can be done, metro running twice essentially? Any ideas?

TheMailMan78 · Jan 30, 2013

Is it me or does the event viewer seem more aggressive in reporting warnings and errors? Like Ill get an error in it if Bing Weather doesn't open up quick enough?! Seems to be instant to me and I wouldn't even know unless I looked at the event viewer.

I just need to take my buddies advice and enjoy windows 8 and stop looking at the event viewer if everything is running ok lol.

brandonwh64 · Jan 30, 2013

Hmmm thought about installing this again the other day but still am skeptical about my WLAN drivers. A while back I did a dual boot with win8 and they seem to be working better but kinda borked my system uninstalling the WIN8 side. I just hate having to reinstall

If I understand you right, you want to run two Metro apps simultaneously on two screens? It's Windows 8 limitation. You can run desktop version on one and metro on another, you can't have two different metro apps on two screens.

It's unrelated to your problem but here's how to metro multitask and here's Toolbox for W8 it's in Windows Store but it's free.

Toolbox is designed to bring unparalleled productivity enhancement to the Windows 8 platform. With Toolbox, you can view and interact with up to 6 different tools at once

freaksavior · Jan 31, 2013

I was afraid of that. M$ specifically said they improved multi monitor support too! I don't understand why it's so hard to make chrome run in the normal desktop mode. I'm forced to run either IE 10 now (which isn't that bad actually) or chrome and IE. I'm trying to like 8 guys, I really am, but I feel like it's a cool idea that's poorly implemented so far.

What about running Desktop on both monitors and having multiple Chrome windows in Desktop mode?

I can't get chrome to switch back to desktop mode. i've tried most of the suggestions in other forum posts I found via google.

It only opens in metro mode. I've pretty much given up on 8, i've tried so many times to get it working the way I want, when one thing works, another thing annoys me.

My boss has 4 monitors and he was saying he hasn't had any issues, So I feel kind of stupid heh.

Once it opens in metro mode hit the Customize and control google chrome button on the top right and hit relaunch in desktop mode. Its the button that looks like three small bars on top of each other.

If that doesn't work you might want to try reinstalling chrome.

Ah I see. Do what AphexDreamer said and you'll be back in business.

I am having connection issue with Adobe Update Manager (CS5) on Windows 8. Giving me the following error:

"The update server is not responding. The server might be offline temporarily, or the Internet or firewall settings may be incorrect. Please try again later".

It works fine on my laptop running Windows Vista and my other desktop running Windows 7. Even tried with Windows 8 firewall disabled, doesn't work and I am not running any anti-virus (except for Windows built-in Defender).
