|    Win 8 help -HELP!    |
|    28 Aug 13 08:37:34    |
       I know I'm off topic but there are some savvy technical folks       around here.        I'm trying to set uo a new Win8 computer for my wife.        I've been using computers forever -- at least forever in       terms of computers -- mainframe and PCs.        But win8 has me totally baffled and confused --- I can't get       to anything!!!        Can't even find a way to copy from a flash drive into it.        As suggested, I downloaded "Classic Shell". It installed with,       presumable, an XP "shell".        I see no difference in what I see or what I can access.       No apparent change!        And th IE 8 won't permit the addition of a "home page"       --I programmed one for my wife which has a family photo       and links to her favorite sites.        I could rant on and on -- don't even know what to as--- basically I'd       like to "to" the computer -like directories.        I'm sorry for the rant --I know that probably it is what it is       and I'm stuck helpless.        Even to the dumb start -- having to enter a password just to       start!              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
