I have the exact same problem.

I've been able to.

Are you doing anything out of the ordinary?

CalolinaCoyote · 08-23-13, 08:19 PM

What in Sam hill are you guys doing with that abortion known as W8? I have a copy of W8.1 safety imprisoned in a Virtualbox virtual machine, from which it will never escape. At least Microsoft stole enough from Ubuntu to restore minimal function to the sub-operating system formerly known as Metro.

But Microsoft did NOT restore the start menu, so you're stuck with capet bombing your desktop with icons or using the search function to find programs by name, not the way humans work. What happened to the days when prompts let you know the possibilities of what the operating system and programs could do and we could operate sophisticated programs we aren't familiar with without cracking a manual?

Under that horrid shell lives a smaller faster and more capable kernel than Windows 7, but no one will ever care. Microsoft has well and truly screwed the pooch on this one! And we thought they'd never be able to top Windows 98 ME.

Wasn't the last update for it supposed to restore the start menu?

It seems I've unintentionaly opened a can of worms here. My question was to not to debate the merits of Win 7 or the demerits of Win 8. I simply wanted to know if anyone could use The ME under Win 8. Now all I have to do is figure out how to make my version work.

BTW, nice to see you these parts again RR. Welcome back. I see you haven't changed much.

I had some serious graphics issues with a couple of other games running on Win8. The solution was to run in Windowed Mode and max the window. Eventually a patch was released by the vendor, but the windowed mode solved the immediate issue.

Well, the machine crashed again today. I guess that shoots my theory about the offending software.

Thanks for the software and technical info. I think I will do a scorched earth recovery -- when I feel up to it.
