Tripredacus, I just happened to know about it a few days ago. I asked some friends but they don't know. Some don't use Win 8, and some don't use the same kind of graphics card as mine.

I want to ask another thing about the Windows Experiene Index. On Win 8, why does it say "Engineering Sample" about my graphics card? It doesn't say so on Win 7. I wonder what that means.

The icon of any USB stick that I plug into my computer doesn't display on the system tray. When I have finished doing with the USB, I have to right click on it in the explorer then choose Eject there. It's fine. But it's finer if I have the icon show on the tray so that I can quickly choose to remove it safely. If I just simply pull it out, does it do anything harmful to the files on the stick? My computer has dual boot. And there isn't such a problem when I am using Win 7. Is there anything I can do to solve this? Thanks for any reply.

Maybe some updates has changed the registry and influenced the way it works. I don't dare to turn off the Metro Start any more! I just choose to use the desktop the minute my computer starts and everything displays on the screen. It's better now.

Interesting topic! There are quite a few pictures posted long time ago so I can't see them. Reading through the whole pages tells me that the score is not important at all.

Tripredacus, Sorry, I don't know there is such a topic. Could you remove the image on your post please?

Well, I used the Refresh function and I've already got them back, both Metro Start and the new Task Manager. But I have to re-install some applications too. It took plenty of time, of course. As for Taking Ownership, I just found something helpful here: http://www.intowindows.com/take-ownership-of-files-and-folders-in-windows-8/ PS. It's terrible that I post here by myself!

I tried installing Firefox 6, 5, 4, and then 3 but the scrolling problem still remains. This doesn't happen with IE or Maxthon. And it doesn't happen when I use Firefox on Win 7. How vexing! I wonder if there is a tweaker that can create the Take Ownership command on the context menu.

Er... what is it? Can you post your score? Here is mine, just for fun as you said! -------------------------- Edit: deleting image

Is this score important? It gives scores so that we know which component needs upgrading, right? Some people told me this score is just for fun when I ask about it! On Win 8, I have the base score of 4.9, whereas it says 5.1 on Win 7. It has already had Aero effect after the first boot into Win 8 so I don't install any graphic driver for it. Maybe it is the reason.

I also see this a lot while browsing the webs with Maxthon. It doesn't annoy much because when a window pops up, I just move the mouse to another position and the window closes down itself!

Hi MagicAndre, thanks for replying. I search for RPEnabled in the registry and I have 4 keys in all. They are located in the following paths: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-18\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer The values were all set to 1. I changed all of them to 2 as you said, restarted my computer, and I couldn't have the TM I wanted. I also lost the ribbon and the automatic in Window color and appearance, which I can't stand at all! I've already changed all the values to 1 again. It seems to me that Win 8 doesn't allow users to change anything in the registry! It's OK, however. I don't have the new looking Task Manager but I still have some other features such as the explorer ribbon, auto color theme to match the wallpapers, and new copy/move/delete dialogs... (Hey, I like the automatic color for themes so much! When I first knew about it, I kept changing the desktop wallpaper again and again just to see how it tint the theme over and over!) As for the problem with Firefox, I hope someone who is using it on Win 8 can tell me whether they have the same problem or not. I will try installing another old version to see what will happen. Thank you again. Edit: removing the image

Hi everyone, 1/ I installed Win 8 around a month ago. After the installation, I didn't like the metro start and it was hard to manage things without the old desktop so I turned it off, using Metro UI Tweaker. I chose the option to disable the Metro Start Menu only. Two weeks later I decided to turn it on again with the same tool, but it wouldn't do! It's not a big problem at all but recently I find out the Task Manager works so weird. It takes nearly 15s to display on the screen! And it looks old just like the one on Win 7. Does anyone know anything about the problem? Is there any way to take back the new task manager without reinstalling Win 8? 2/ My favorite browser is Maxthon but recently I try using Firefox as well. When I scroll the mouse wheel, sometimes it zooms out/in the text on the webs instead of scrolling down/up the web page! Then I have to click and drag the scroll bar. I find it very annoying. I tried an older version of Firefox but it didn't help. I wonder if there is anything else I can try to stop the problem. Thanks in advance for any reply.

Huh? ... OK, I don't come to the forums as often as I used to. If I have small problems I always try to find the answers by using Google search. It will save my time and people's time! I only come to ask for help when I am tired of searching and reading through a lot of information but nothing can solve my problem. It's interesting to hear people telling about the forums they are joining. Again, sorry for not having a poll any more!
