Sometime next Friday or Saturday, I'm going to be getting a Nokia Lumia 521. I was wondering if someone could point me to any Windows Phone 8 guides, as I'm a newb. to Windows Phone or any smartphone, in general. I already know how to upgrade it to the Windows Phone 8.1 Preview. Which I plan on...

does anyone know if Microsoft has put a fix out for those unlucky enough to get get a back screen on upgrading from W8. I had to revert back to W8 after the know infamous black screen made operations very tricky. This was strange as I had used the preview without problem and liked it. I am not...

Hi All, I was showing a friend some features of Windows 8.1 and went into the Settings and changed the Lock screen picture. Underneath the chosen pic there are four others that I can select or I can select browse below those and find other pics to use. I was wondering if there was a way...

At the moment I have the win 8.1 preview installed in my old Dell laptop which used to run Vista. It was a clean install and I never had the Windows 8 RT ( I could have it for $39.99, but I declined to do so.) Question : When the final release of Win 8.1 is available for public, do I have to...

Not sure if I have posted in the correct forum. Host OS : Win 7 SP1 Guest OS : Win 8.1 pro preview in VMware Player. Question : Does Win 8.1 pro preview support POP email accounts? I downloaded WLM ( windows live mail ) 2012, then I configured my Bell.net in it.. It will receive but can't...

Whenever I hover over an open application to open one of it's windows that minimized, the preview flickers and I can't reopen it. I can get to those windows by choosing Cascade Windows or one of those other options but I can't open them when I click on the application. Any ideas?

My advice? Stay far, far away. Source: Yahoo! News
