The Windows 8 Thread

[harshilsharma63]

Well I can understand. But I really don't want to format. As all of my development environment is setup and I have go through all the hassles again

UPDATE : I guess I have found the problem. The thing is, I had enabled traces for KIS. And that's what was eating my space on C Drive under Program Data.

And what does that do?

@ Small_town_boy - I don't thnk you won't face any issue .. at-least not from non compatible drivers. You can download Intel chipset software install utility for mobo, audio driver for VIA is available and what's more - you may not need to install any driver at all apart from the gpu driver.

VIA drivers ...? Can you please provide me the link?

And what does that do?

Well KIS used to have problem on Win 8, thus blocking Win 8 Metro Apps. So to fix the same we provided KIS Logs to Kaspersky. And those are detailed logs which KIS keeps for tracking error occurred or the sequence of problems.

You can't turn off all the live tiles at once. You have to individually right click on the app and then select turn off live tiles.

Is there a "Basic" setting for the theme in windows 8? My GPU has some problems running Windows Aero. So it smoothly runs Windows 7 in the Basic theme setting.

By default, Windows 8 doesn't contain Aero.
Still you may de-select certain visual effects under the advanced tab of system properties.
