My brother said his computer was lagging to he shut off his computer, and when he turned it back on, nothing would load; I turned the computer on and it logs into the user but none of the tiles will load.

Dear all, I recently purchased a SONY VAIO Laptop with Windows 8 OS but everytime I am trying to launch any tiles (e.g. messaging, skype, windows store, etc.) it just goes back to the tiles section. I need some help please. Thanks.

How do I bypass the e-mail and password request to get access to the tiles?

First off, from the moment I turned on my new PC I hated Windows 8! It's retarded. I got used to it's hard navigation and bullshit. Now the windows tiles don't work. The apps don't open anymore. IS THERE A WAY TO GO BACK TO WINDOWS 7?!!?!

There is nothing wrong w/ going from Desktop to the Start screen w/ its Tiles for some or all things OR going to WinQ for things OR pinning a bunch of stuff OR having icons all over the Desktop BUT, You might like this approach... It means not having to do any of the 3 things mentioned...

Hi, all - I'm glad to have found this forum, it looks like I'll be hanging out here for quite a bit :) As a Windows 8 user of all of one week (but not a stranger to Windows in general), there's a lot of investigating to do and I'm reading as much as I can. I do have one question - Where on earth...

When I try to open various tiles such a weather, Mah Jong, Solitaire etc. they simply freeze, or at best take forever to open. Is this the way Win8 is supposed to work? I see visions of Vista here.

I just need a confirmation: 1)Does the photo tile show only the same 3-4 photos from your picture library even if you have tons of photos there? 2) does the Bing travel tile slideshowing the same destinations : Budapest, Rio, Paris all day 3) does the sport app and news app show the same photo...

how can you turn off the auto arrange for tiles in the start screen. when i move a tile where i want it everything shifts, including tiles i have already placed. very frustrating.

I want to be able to choose where my tiles go when placed inside of a group. Notice the screenshot below. I would like the Left4Dead 2 tile and the StarCraft 2 to be placed right below the Batman tile (which would give me only 3 columns but every time I placed them there, then 2 more tiles...

How do I turn off auto arrange, and also stop the snap to grid function on the desktop so I can arrange the tiles exactly the way I want?
