[QUOTE=Protocol7;38242460]how do I stop metro skype from turning down volume of things i can't see anything in the settings like the desktop app[/QUOTE] Sound Control Panel, communications tab. Do nothing.
[QUOTE=Panda X;38242487]Sound Control Panel, communications tab. Do nothing.[/QUOTE] That's not a real option. There's like no communications tab or sound control panel.

INCONSISTANCY!!! [img]http://i.imgur.com/3mdl5.png[/img] [img]http://i.imgur.com/X3FsN.png[/img] I really wish Microsoft would have gone through and fixed this shit.
Installing Windows 8 right now!
[QUOTE=mblunk;38241972]So I used my dreamspark key on my laptop and now I want to upgrade my desktop, but I'd rather just do a fresh install with the DVD I already made. Is there a way I can use my $15 upgrade promotion code to just redeem my new registration key instead of running the "upgrade assistant"?[/QUOTE] You can use the 32bit key to install the 64bit OS, FYI.

[QUOTE=Panda X;38242677][IMG]http://i.cubeupload.com/21EPgo.png[/IMG][/QUOTE] I had it set like that in Windows 7. Way to transfer settings, Windows 8 upgrade. You should have been more clearer with the "Sound Control Panel" part, by the way. Actually, it's still set to that. I guess Skype just fucking blows.
Just got W8. Have not yet to install it, I'm waiting till some updates i guess. How is it running so far compared to W7? How are games working with it?
Working great so far. have no idea why it froze once so far....BUT it could just be a computer fart or something.
That link to update my drivers for Asus worked a lot, thanks. But, sorry to ask even more questions, how do you change the backgrounds in the Xbox Music App for some songs? Some of my songs are recognized, such as derezzed, and it has Dafk Punk background images. But some of songs aren't recognized and just have a plain color. Any way to change that?
[QUOTE=SynisterSilen;38231152]I've noticed a performance drop as well...[/QUOTE] [url]http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/windows-8-gaming-performance,3331.html[/url]
I had a go of Windows 8 in a store, I think it was PC world on one of the PC's they have on display. After a while I challenged my mate to imagine he was watching porn and his parents are about to come through the front door and he had to close IE. He couldn't do it, and neither could I. Alt + F4 seemed to work but Alt + Tab showed that it was still open. How do you close it out of curiosity?

Alternately use windows + d to minimize everything and then press the windows button again to go to the start screen
The Wikipedia app is pretty useful!
I really wish I had a touch screen computer, ffs

I don't see why you'd need to close it completely.

I wish the back gesture worked in metro apps, because then I wouldn't have to spend mode of my time in desktop mode. But who knows, maybe there will be a driver update some day that fixes this.
[QUOTE] Whoa that's a while... he'll be lucky if someone else doesn't start an alternate service in that timeframe.[/QUOTE] Its the 30th already. You cant expect me to finish it in a few days... 3/4 weeks seems fast enough to me...

Posted this in the webdev section but I figured you guys might be interested as well.

Finishing up a really awesome multiple image uploader today. After that just design the upload, login and register pages. Then finish up the database, and make sure everything gets displayed at the proper locations. And phase 1 will be completed (this weekend probably). Phase 2 will most likely consist of just adding collections. Phase 3 will add things like advanced user profiles, user ratings, etc.
Look what I got to play with [IMG]http://puu.sh/1kviu/46fa7ff80e7d2978aef4385288ff845b[/IMG] It's a pretty solid device. By itself it was nice and snappy, IE wasn't a pain to use at all and loaded pages quickly (though that might be the enterprise level internet we have at work), Word wasn't as bad as people were initially saying, though typing with the Touch Cover was fucking miserable, missing a whole bunch of keystrokes and shit, but since this guy got the 64GB version he didn't want to drop the extra dosh on a type cover. All in all, I still want an RT tablet, perhaps now even moreso.
