Re: Windows 8 Install & Testing
I'm surprised that this 'leaked' really. W7 was treated like national security in comparison! Is MS looking for extra expert feedback?

I hope they don't expect expert feedback from me, I'll hack and probe around, but I'm like using a chainsaw to cut a birthday cake lol

Re: Windows 8 Install & Testing
You are the best type of beta tester Dan. If anything can survive that then it should ship!

Re: Windows 8 Install & Testing
I wish I could find a wallpaper at least that would work that at least said Windows 8 on it, I have tried to no avail to use some screen shots as the desktop, but all it does is show a black background )-:

Re: Windows 8 Install & Testing
There are a few here you can Dl, there aren't many that are authentic though.
Windows 8 Desktops
Black desktop screens suck, can you get back using a saved theme or something?
Edit: Oh ya, my logon screen reverted back to the default picture this AM.

Re: Windows 8 Install & Testing
oh yeah, I can back to a theme or whatever by right clicking, just don't understand why saving picture as desktop doesn't work, maybe its wrong resolution or something

Re: Windows 8 Install & Testing
I tried some of the desktops from the link you posted, didn't work for me at first. Then I decided to change the resolution to a lot lower one and had one work, even though there was a lot of black space on the side. I tried another one, it didn't work tried to go back to the other one but it wouldn't work again so I gave up for now LOL

Re: Windows 8 Install & Testing
That is odd, I am using 1024x768 resolution.
Something new:
I found this mentioned in a thread so I searched Control Pnl & found it.
It’s the “Enable Hybrid Boot (recommended)” check box
*I have not done any shutdown & start-up timing tests yet though to see if it does work.
It was pre-checked already.

Re: Windows 8 Install & Testing
That was the first place I had gone since mine is a laptop, I always change those setting to never specially when it is plugged in
I finally figured out how to use one of those Desktop backgrounds I had to go into nVidia control panel and tweek the scaling setting and adjust to 1024 x 768 like you have (reccommended is 1920 x 1200) the background at least now shows Windows 8 LOL
