| 1327061 | 2013-02-08 03:43:00 | Hey Guys So I just upgraded a laptop form Windows 8 CP to Windows 8 Full and I installed the video driver and suddenly the charms spazz out and won't load unless I press windows+c, and even then it just flashes and I can't do anything, and also my start screen loads, the icons and everything load, and then suddenly it flashes and I'm just left with the start screen back ground, so I can't use apps or anything. I've loaded Pokki for now as my start menu but need to know how to fix the problem. I uninstalled the driver and it still doesn't fix. System restore is the same. Any recommendations guys? Cheers |

According to MS the CP is not able to upgrade to RTM, there are some "workarounds" www.computerworld.com _RTM But it looks like there may have been a problem when you did it. ( faulty Graphics, Charms Icons disappear, Restore not working) what else could be broken ? As long as you burnt a DVD when you downloaded it, you can install from fresh, all you need is the DVD and Product key. Sometimes when doing a fresh install with the Upgrade DVD the start screen wont show, and it wont activate - but one reg change and rearming fixes that. |
