We just got a new computer a few weeks ago. It has windows 8 and it is just too confusing! Anybody else have it? Opinions? Will I ever get used to it?
Windows 8 will go down as being another ME, another Vista... AKA huge failure. Horribly confusing for someone. They've removed things that have been in place since Windows 95. Things like the Start Menu, etc.
My mother just had to buy a new computer because her old one was getting too slow and it had been upgraded and still too slow. Of course, hers came with Windows 8. She's managing, but I probably will have to format it and put on Windows 7 if she thinks it's too much of a headache.
Not really anything I can recommend. If you find it too much of a headache, try to find a reputable computer place to reformat and install Windows 7.
Thanks Austin. I thought maybe it was just me.
Nope.
And the problems with W8 just keep piling up. I think it's one of MS's biggest failures yet.
Guess I'll be looking for a PC with 7 still when I look for a new one. I have 7 at work and love it. I know Vista gets slammed but I've never had any major issues with it. It's just sloooooooooow.

You can see the stars and still not see the light.
I've noticed lately on my pc that if I click on a link here or anywhere for that matter I get a blank page. I'm sure this is new for me. I think I've changed a setting that I shouldn't have. Anyone know what to do?

What Browser and OS are you using?
It could be a setting, or in the case of Windows, many things such as corrupted browser, malware, etc etc.
ETA: If it's IE and Windows - go to this page and run this hotfix that will fix the problem. If it's Chrome or Firefox, or a Mac, let me know.
