[QUOTE=Amiga OS;37384795]Not being able to pin two different metro apps, each on one of my monitors is starting to piss me off.[/QUOTE] Here's a great idea: don't use Metro apps! Just treat this as Windows 7 SP2 like I do. Metro was designed for tablets, which don't have fancy things like dual monitors.
Yeah, but they're just meant to rake in lots of dosh from Windows RT/Phone users. Metro on the desktop was a sad afterthought.
[QUOTE=The Baconator;37380830]no, since video drivers aren't up to par compared to Windows 7 drivers[/QUOTE] The nvidia drivers seem fine to me.

So today my mom accidentally turned on my pc which is running Windows 8, but doesn't know anything at all about computers so she couldn't find the shut down button :v:
[QUOTE=PelPix123;37391477]What's happening to tech support nowadays? :([/QUOTE] It's always been a bit shit. It's just today they can throw it at you faster and harder with untrained workers reading scripts. Welcome to Tier1 support. It gets better if you can escalate it some how.

I'm trying to delete my Windows.old folder but every single time I get some sort of error or message that is like "access is denied." I have tried pretty much all methods I could find. Please help? EDIT: NEVERMIND! My computer is dumb as hell and I needed to boot in safe mode... which even that was confusing at first. Idk if it's my bios... but I cant boot into safe mode AT ALL. I have to do the msconfig way.

(That hotkey has nothing to do with your BIOS.) They've provided a new way to reboot into safe mode in the Metro settings panel, but I forget exactly where it is.

You can still boot into safe mode with msconfig

Wasn't it something like hold shift and press reboot?
Question. Does Windows 8 support software RAID? If so which editions and what types of RAID?
Man, getting so many permission issues and having a real hard time activating the RTM edition.
