I found out that Retro UI is a good app as a start menu. The reason is that it allows you to still use the start screen if you want to and adds a task bar at the bottom of your start screen. So, you can use the start screen as an improved desktop. I could be wrong so please correct me if I am...

As the title suggests, I'm wondering why you hate the start screen in Windows 8 so much, or why you think others do. Besides looking completely different, there are nothing but improvements on the back end in terms of search, live tiles and appearance. I honestly see no legitimate reason for...

Hi! I was maybe too excited about upgrading to Windows 8 because my experience with Windows Phone 7 was very positive. One aspect I loved: the live tiles. They were easy to set up from within Apps, and they were very convenient. I'm not having the same experience in Windows 8... It's a little...

full disclosure, i originally posted this on windows8forums since i'm on windows 8 but it's getting ignored there and my laptop is useless. I kinda doubt this is a specific windows 8 issue and i'm hoping that one of you may know a windows 7 fix that will work. My laptop is basically useless...
