Title: Tablets and smart phones
Post by: STMO123 on 11 February 2013, 19:11:14
Thought I'd better turn the PC on for a while to see if there's any updates etc. Dont think it's been on for about three weeks. :o

Funny enough. Just opened the net book. Windows 7. It lost the programme I wanted to use, all settings back to factory. Half a dozen updates needed. Resolution all wrong. Settings boxs off the edge of the screen, so can't select the ok box.


Are winDOHS a new company to computing or something..? What utter rubbish. :(

Right click on the screen and change the resolution, should get your ok box back.

If you're new to Win8, its a bit of a shock.

Win8 isn't so bad when you get used to it. But even after a year, I still am more productive with Win7

This is the first major interface overhaul since Win95/NT4, and many will not accept they have to learn new skills.

yep.. more than that I am interested with what they changed behind the scenes.. if they changed APIs its a lot of work to change running projects and some may never work properly :-\

From the limited use I've had of win 8 it seems to be pretty good PROVIDING it is used on a device it was designed for .. ie touch screen.

Trying to use it with a mouse is just not intuitive... which makes it clunky and difficult IMHO ... it was designed around the touch screen and should be used with one

Works well with just a keyboard, no (well, limited) mouse :)

Agreed - works great on the Nokia Lumia and a touch screen laptop

Dunno, but you did see the screen resolution issues, with windows hidden behind the task bar.

I've partly fixed it by setting the tool bars to auto hide. Only other resolution available is 4x3 instead of widescreen. Plus zooming out.

Point is, non of these things are how I left them. Christ knows where ac Gas synchro went. :-\
