now the RTM of Windows 8.1 without too many problems so far-- exactly Not too many but the ones IMO are major. Not every body has a lot of spare MAK 8.1 Keys... and since when does a Genuine MAK key for Windows 8.0 get jammed, (just a big $$$$ thing) and MAK keys are not CHEAP. Every body has...

Well, if you do not like Windows 8.0 - you will be more unhappy with 8.1, there is more wrong with it, than 8.0. I find that IE11 has major issues with many sites. M$ default for Security is really stupid. it auto slows down browsing due to(check this site for phishing). SmartScreen is really...

strange to me... because my Windows 8 does truly shutdown... very easy. C:\Windows\System32\shutdown.exe -s -t 000 nothing hard about that ... if you want SHUTDOWN then SHUTDOWN... of course if updates are installing it will finish updates and shutdown on first reboot but you then have to allow...

Shutdown also depends on how many open programs you have running.... also nice move mouse to upper left corner and close all that crap first... many of the apps are still running, and like anything you have to close ea one first....or face corruption... Frank Smith SomeWhere in Kansas Near...

Reset your wireless to defaults...I have 3 different laptops on Vista, and no problems getting on any Internet. that is set to defaults... If you altered any settings that will be your problem.. still NO - then ask Vista to diagnose the network and it will tell you what and why... you might also...

1. Vista does not have SCSI drivers yet, so manually have your SCSI drivers on a floppy, then install the drivers when ask to install devices... 2. You might also check as admin if C:\ is NTFS under Vista requirement.. most 3rd party formats do not work... If the answer is No then simply type...
