I managed to install Alf's art eventually, but despite trying, wasn't successful in getting it working as it should. I find 8 cumbersome and counter-intuitive - but it's probably just me and my fading grey cells.....
I'm afraid I gave up in frustration - but am now girding me lions (loins as well) for another attempt. A looming hospital incarceration has spurred me on .....
Is there a kindly soul out there vastly more adept than me (not difficult), who has been successful with Alf & Win 8 who could help me out ? Via PM's if need be .................
P.S. Sad to say, you won't be surprised to learn I hate Win 8, despite rumours of some users actually liking it. I don't think my brain was in the right line when it came to dishing out tech no-how and adaptability ....  |
Hi
If rumours be true then your in luck because it has been reported that in windows blue or 8.1 whichever it ends up being called there will be an option to go back to a desktop with a start (windows) button doing away with the nasty tiles! If this doesn't pan out you can always go back to windows 7 via microsoft (ask google for more info) I would say downgrading but I think win 7 is better. I think MS have had a lot of people asking to get rid of the tiles I hate them too have worked on a few win 8 machines and will not be upgrading any of my own machines anytime soon.
