Has anyone managed to install this on a MBR hard drive? It keeps telling me that it can only install it on a GPT partition.
for some reason I like using this metro internet explorer. I wonder, though if google or firefox adds an app in the future.
[QUOTE=Folstream;34930981]Can I install it on a pc with an empty, but formatted (NTFS) harddrive? The faq says:
You can install on the current drive or you can make an ISO or bootable flash drive for installing Windows 8 Consumer Preview on another partition, virtual machine, or another PC [b](requires Windows Vista or Windows 7).[/b][/QUOTE]
Yes. You just create a bootable USB stick or a DVD on an another computer and boot the computer with either of those.
How the hell do I turn off the taskbar on all but my primary monitor

I keep getting these random freezes that last for at least 30 seconds, it's so fucking annoying :/
the fuck is this shit runtime broker uses 90% cpu
So will FP be getting a new windows icon?
[QUOTE=drblah;34930954]Power button should be easier to find. It should (imo) only require 1 click to get to and should be accessible with keyboard only.[/QUOTE]
Accessible without a keyboard or mouse.

Why not just fullscreen mode?
So I got audio drivers installed, but guess what!
I can't configure them, at all.
also mouse acceleration :suicide:
[QUOTE=Zedicus Mann;34931388]Why not just fullscreen mode?[/QUOTE]
Probably multiple monitors.
WAIT WAIT WAIT... What's that about Mouse Acceleration, Flubs?

How do i get the damn messenger uninstalled,it just goes online when you log on :/

There is really noticeable accel on my installation, but I think it can be turned off.
Also, Opera causes major microfreezes, fuck :(

Because windows will have a complete and utter seizure once you task switch, it does it with most games.

100 % cpu all the time. What am I doing wrong?
I'm wanting to install this. So I'm guessing dual-boot. But what would be recommended? Use the dual-boot method found [URL="http://blog.concurrency.com/infrastructure/dual-boot-windows-8-from-vhd-using-windows-setup/"]here[/URL]. Run it off a USB? Or install it on a second SDD?

It installed just fine on my laptop. I can't really see a reason it wouldn't install on MBR unless you are trying to install it on a very large drive(As in >2TB).

I was hoping they'd've fixed that by now.
Installer downloaded, installing as soon as I will have some spare time.

Right click the taskbar > properties.
Untick this:

Have you tried restarting or ending the process?

Never had that happen.
It seems right clicking anything too close to the right on the taskbar doesn't even bother to check if there is an app pinned. Odd considering everything else doesn't seem to have a problem.
[QUOTE=Lyoko774;34931566]I mean winkey. Not the product key.[/QUOTE]
Ctrl+Esc
The span option breaks when monitors are at two different heights, sucks :(
[QUOTE=Panda X;34931820]Never had that happen.[/QUOTE]
You have never had your game stay completely black with juddering audio for about 10 seconds until windows regains its composure and calms down?
Well I have it on my laptop and PC, and it's just a hell to use. I'm lost with apps, I actually dont know how to close them, god damned Metro...
[QUOTE=FlubberNugget;34930593]FFFUUUUUCK
My sound card drivers don't support Win8 :((
Thank fuck for compatability modes.[/QUOTE]
[b]SlimDrivers Free[/b] can usually find what you need. Run it under Windows 7 compatibility, and you should be fine.
Install on a VM to test, my spare test system, or not at all?
You know, I'm okay with everything except the details pane placement in Explorer
I can't think of a single reason why does it need to be on the side, being all huge and hideous and not on the bottom of the window like in two previous Windows versions
I just can't deal with it help
