Is this you, bigmuscle?

So maybe we are talking about two different things. I'm talking about this: http://itsfoss.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/Power-Options-in-Windows-8-1.jpeg

Oh thanks for this setting. This is what was causing the behaviour of my PCs not being able to enter the BIOS after a shutdown.

Is this you, bigmuscle?

looks so. It shows "BigMuscle" as developer.

But that doesn't mean that BigMuscle submitted it.

Cheers and Regards

Method of injection I assume you mean I downloaded the latest win 8.1 exe file and ran that.same on both computer and laptop yet only the laptop works.

February 17, 201412 yr

Did you generate a separate key for each computer?

Cheers and Regards

February 17, 201412 yr

Yeah I did. Ive also tried regenerating the non working one multiple times, renaming to donation.key, licence.key just doesnt work. I dont get it.

The only thing I can think of is that before i upgraded 7 to 8 then 8.1 i did dual boot it to 8.1 but thats been deleted and i also got rid of the boot entry for that os and it no longer shows up as a boot option

February 18, 201412 yr

thankyou very much

you are welcome

According to those error numbers near "DWM incompatibility error", the system is not regular Windows 8.1 system.

February 18, 201412 yr

What does that mean? I used the same installation usb on both my computer and laptop and as ive said the laptop works fine? Could it be because I went from 7 to 8 to 8.1? On the laptop I just did a clean install. It does seems to have gone a bit weird on the metro start screen. I use start8 on the computer and laptop but on the computer if I go to the actual window 8 start screen some of the things are missing eg show desktop and a lot of my installed apps

February 18, 201412 yr

Having experimented with various tweaks for my Windows 8.1 system, I noticed that Big Muscle's Aero Glass for Windows 8/8.1 works beautifully with Start Is Back: http://startisback.com/

The rival Start8 by Stardock does not work so well with Glass8, as the glass blur doesn't work with it (it also suffers from more slowdowns and freezes). For this reason I'd strongly recommend Start Is Back over Stardock Start8 for anyone also looking to get a Windows 7 Aero Glass effect on Windows 8/8.1. (Free alternatives seem not quite up to scratch yet.)

Here is a screenshot of Windows 8.1 Professional running Start Is Back with Aero Glass for Windows 8.1. Highly recommended for anyone looking to migrate from Windows 7 without losing both features: http://s11.postimg.org/x3odcyib7/Win8_1_Enhanced.png

@Mequa looks nice. Cheers for the advice but im happy with start8. Its not an exact win 7 look i want I like the start 8 look. I like the coloured unblurred transparency. Thats how Ive made my windows on the laptop too and what I want to work on the compiuter but none of the registry changes take effect on my computer.Im assuming its because the donation key isnt working.
