1385339	2014-10-04 09:49:00	I downloaded the technical preview on my computer and now have a flashing purple and black screen...any idea on a fix for this? :annoyed: Was it installed as an upgrade to what was on there, or drive wiped and a fresh install ? It sounds like a graphic display / Driver problem.	wainuitech (129)

It sounds like a graphic display / Driver problem. hey wt, I installed it as an upgrade, it had windows 8.1 on it If it helps a message just came up LogonUI.exe - Application error The instruction at 0x774f645a referenced memory at 0x00000008. The memory could not be written. Click on OK to terminate the program. Clicking ok the screen keeps flashing	pct (16854)

That sounds like a graphic Driver fault, if it will start in safe mode uninstall the graphic drivers and let W10 put in its own. You have to remember W10 is still only for testing, Microsoft make it very clear its got faults, not finished and expect bugs. Personally If it were me, I'd download the ISO, wipe your drive completely and install as fresh, that way there wont be any previous driver problems. Doing this of course will wipe all data, programs etc, BUT MS DO warn people, and you CANT roll it back: windows.microsoft.com I've installed it on a workshop PC and an old Laptop so far, the PC works perfectly, but the laptop, there are no AMD drivers for it so its running on windows default ( quite nicely) If its any consultation, you are not alone with this problem, several others have had it as well when upgrading from existing installs, no known fix yet. You can try repairing it, as per the instructions logonuiexe-application-error (answers.microsoft.com) BUT I wouldn't hold my breath :(	wainuitech (129)

Return of the Start Menu, none of this fullscreen Metro rubbish.. maybe they realised that a lot of people want an OS they can actually use. Then don't complain you're being left behind when Windows 7 is no longer supported ;) I won't. If I had to get Windows 8\10 I would... but would really rather use Linux if I can.	Agent_24 (57)

The memory could not be written. Click on OK to terminate the program. Clicking ok the screen keeps flashing Just adding to my post above re the LogonUI.exe , it can also be caused by other software that's installed. Antivirus software can cause errors as well. This is because its not designed for the OS. Its always best to remove any Protection first. "IF" you can get into safe mode, click on start, type in msconfig , open it, under the services tab, put a tick in "Hide all Microsoft Services" then untick everything that's remaining, try rebooting. If it starts OK then theres something installed and running that's causing the problem, then uninstall any programs ( starting with the Graphics and Antivirus).	wainuitech (129)
1385345	2014-10-05 00:56:00	Just had a brief 'play' with the new Win10 Preview, and already started to love it! :) Windows 8 shouldn't have released! The guy who responsible for the release of Win8 probably already had a 'push'. The MS routine seems to be still correct: :D Win Me = no good Win XP = good Win Vista = bad Win 7 = GOOD Win 8 = BAD Win 10 = GOOD - so far.	bk T (215)

Makes one wonder why they don't ask people want they want to begin with, than wasting money releasing a crappy product every other version	Agent_24 (57)

Makes one wonder why they don't ask people want they want to begin with, than wasting money releasing a crappy product every other version They DO. :) They are called Previews, Beta's & Release Candidate. BUT its almost as if they take no real notice of the feed back unless its a fault that will effect the "planned" finished versions. Take W8 for example: There were thousands (if not millions) of negative complaints about the tiled interface and start menu removal in the pre Release to manufacturing (RTM) & General availability (GA) - But look what came out :D Many reports suggested having two OS's one for touch devices and one for Desktop without the Tiled interface But it didn't happen. You can make W10 start with the tiled interface if you want instead of the Desktop / Start menu. Which is exactly what I'll be doing if I upgrade the Media Center. The tiled Icons are a lot easier to operate from across the lounge.	wainuitech (129)
