    Okay, as the title says, I upgraded. But there's a problem: Nothing on this OS seems to be working. Explorer.exe constantly crashes, and a couple of hours ago, the computer itself just froze entirely, with me not even able to do ANYTHING. I fixed the freezing by updating my graphics drivers...

  16. Windows 10 Anyone seeing really small control panel icons?

    Like this... Link Removed and these are the large icons... Link Removed I've never had control panel look like this. Large icons used to fill the page. Maybe this goes along with my feeling that everything looks smaller then normal. That's why I increased all my type sizes, but these were...

    The two attachments show how Net Center looks in W7 (top) and in (bottom) in Win 8. On W8 all icons, the map, and many text options that appear in W7 are missing. Is this what you see in W8? (The same PC here runs both O/S.)
