windows 8 blows.

[Sleeper]

After a few months with the system, even with classic shell i am still having issues with it.

I get random crashes to a black screen. Cant do jack except unplug the machine and plug it back in.

Its like its a video card issue as its usually when im enlarging a image, or a pop up accurs.
A good example was today i was looking at some pictures. click on the property's and itll open the box as soon as i start to read boom crash.

Stupid peice of shit.

It's not Win8 that blows, it's your machine that blows. I've yet to have a crash with it, nor have I heard of anybody having multiple crashes.

Ill agree with you , something isnt jiving, but i cant figure it out.

[CJ]

are you using beta display adapter drivers, or WHQL Win8 drivers?

[Sleeper]

It has the latest drivers for the vid card/monitor.

Man I fucking hate it too.

About one finger swipe out of four will cause some random window to explode open. Then I have to figure out if a) I just closed what I was working in, b) opened a new window, or c) it just brought an already open window into focus.

Then everything being driven like a Mac, with a Ctr + key command. And not having a FUCKING POWER OFF BUTTON.

Yeah it's a real sonofabitch.

It runs nice, but this random crashing is pissing me off. machine is like a month old.

This always happens with new operating systems. I remember when vista first came out, everyone said it was shit. 90% of all bluescreens were caused by nvidia drivers. Just teething issues I'm sure.

Got Classic Shell installed?

[46Tbird]

No, I don't. Is that the recommended way of making it less retarded?

I figured I would suffer through the shit, because as the 'computer guy' of my family, everyone's gonna expect me to be able to answer their questions. This OS baffles even me.

I'm starting not to like it at all! When I load a web page I have to completely wait till its loaded to do anything. When I visit the forums it takes what seems like forever to get to a thread. The laptop I bought came with it.

The OS is designed quite deliberately to very rarely ever be shut down (pretty much never, specifically), which is how most people use their computers. It's been an adjustment for me, because I generally shut my computers down quite often before, but it's just the same now.
