Windows 8 Upgrade

Recommended Posts

update: just pulled the TV tuner out of my pc to get model numbers off the chipset, a quick google and i have found the BDA drivers and im a happy camper again

i have a 120gb Sata3 ssd Ryan and from power on to using windows is about 30secs including POST

SSDs are ruining the computer user experience.

I remember when I'd hit the power button, then have time to go and get a coffee before it had booted into the OS. Now my MacBook Pro with 128GB SSD boots in about 20-30s, and I don't have time.

Dad's new Win7 machine with 60GB Vertex SSD is about the same.

It bothers me.

Haha I'm hearing you, someone has already made a USB coffee warmer but what about one that boils the water first

Funnily enough, I have one of those mug warmers. Need a coffee machine I can control via the web/smart phone.

^^ awesome

i am sort of deciding whether or not to buy Start8 start bar, i know there are free ones but the free one i tried doesn't look as polished as start8

I'm pretty sure there is a registry tweak that is surfacing. If I find it I'll let you know, might save the purpose ;)

Also for anyone that isn't partial to Metro being your start up screen, use this - Skip Metro Suite

Few little tweaks with that app that might prove useful for some.

that above samsung is a tablet, docked its a laptop like all are - and running full windows. The costs is a kick in the nuts.

They are releasing the windows RT units first and holding back all full win8 units to get some sales for the RT.

So long as you don't use a media extender you should be right, I also read something with media browser doesn't work either due to not being able to mod the .dll file's my channel logos has an issue also due to .dll

As usual, SAU NSW will be be part of the event, with our traditional club display on the day! If you would like to be part of it, firstly, you'll need to make sure you secure your Display Entry into the show via the below link by Motive Video: https://gtrfestival.com.au/ Other tickets are also available, ie. VIP Entry or Drag Entry, for you to also choose from. Once you have your ticket locked in, make sure to send us a PM via Facebook so we can add you to our list of display cars! When you message us, we will gather some more details from you to make sure we can spot you on the day, and guide you to the right place! If you'd like more information regarding the day, please refer to Motive Video's event page, or, you can get in touch with us and we will help you as best as we can. As always, general details are below: Date: Friday 24th May / Saturday 25th May Location: Sydney Dragway Time: 6.00pm Friday / 9.00am Saturday We look forward to seeing you all on the day! One of the things that really sets our club apart is our commitment to being true enthusiasts. When on normal roads we strive to maintain good relations with the authorities as well as the public in general. When attending one of Skylines Australia NSW events please try to: • Be aware of surrounding environment and act accordingly. • Drive courteously on the state’s roads as a true enthusiast should. • Understand how important it is to maintain the good name of SAUNSW and thus, treat others accordingly. • Any misbehaviour will not be tolerated and you will be asked to leave. Thanks guys and hope to see you there!
    • We're a bunch of suspicious skeptics here. So when we see a new user describing themselves as a "guy" but showing "Female" in the bio, we immediately suspect "bot" and "spam". If you are legit, then welcome. If you are a spambot, then die in an AI fire. No offence (unless you're a bot). What car did your dad drive when he met your mum? (Call this a car forum Turing test, if you like). What car did your mum drive when you started school? What car did your date drive to your first formal/prom/whatever. What do the majority of the license plates in your local area have on them (the state motto, the county motto, whatever)?
    • Howdy All! Minutes from this year's AGM attached! Thank you to the old committee for a great year & good luck to the new (*cough* same) team for the year ahead! See you all soon!   SAUNSW_2024 AGM Minutes_04052024.pdf
    • Hey guys! Just rolled into this awesome community and let me tell you, I'm stoked!  Cars have been my jam for as long as I can remember, and there's nothing I love more than talking about them. It doesn't matter if it's the latest performance mods, DIY hacks that'll blow your mind, or just nerding out over engine specs –  I'm all in. I know I'm the new guy here, but I promise I'm not all talk. I want to be a part of this community, learn from the veterans, and maybe even make some friends along the way. So, whether you've been wrenching on rides for decades or just getting started like me, feel free to say hi, share some advice for a newbie, or just throw out a random car fact (because, let's face it, those are always fun!). Looking forward to getting to know you all and becoming part of this gearhead family! Thanks Pihu
