Frequently Asked Questions When Using Win8

The first Win8 Developer Preview has been released for almost a month, and many netizens have already experienced the charm of the new system in advance. However, in daily use, some unexpected small troubles continue to bother us. Today, the author deliberately sorted out several Win8 fault solutions, hoping to provide some help for your Win8 experience journey.

Problem 1. Software garbled more

This problem is probably the biggest headache for novices. After all, garbled is no more than English, no matter what translation software you use, you want to find out what is inside. It is completely impossible. So how do we solve this kind of problem?

Very simple, first enter Control Panel→All Control Panel Items→Region, and change the "Location" and "Aministrative→Current Language for non-Unicode programs" into "<;China” and&ldquo ;Chinese(Simplified, PRC)”, then restart the computer, then you will find that the annoying garbled problem has been easily solved.

In addition, some Chinese software (such as "Maxthon") can not be installed, can also be solved by the above method.

Question 2. “Weather” “No Celsius

Win8’s “Weather” should be one of the most eye-catching components of the new system, but there is a hidden Big troubles —— temperature display is wrong. In fact, this phenomenon has not occurred because the weather data of Win8 is not accurate enough, but the system defaults to the Fahrenheit units used by Europeans and Americans.

In order to get the weather data back to normal, it only takes 3 steps. First enter the weather panel, hover the bottom left corner to bring up the start menu, and then execute the “Settings” command to enter the settings page and set the <quo ;Weather preferences” changed from "Fahrenheit" to “Celsius”. OK! The effect appears in real time. how about it? This time it looks pleasing to the eye.

Question 3. QQ can't be installed

This question is quite confusing. To tell the truth, I have been bothering the author for a long time. The phenomenon is not complicated, it is the prompt "TM is running, the installation can not continue" cloud. However, there is an eye in the sky, and I swear to the lamp. I really didn't run any TM program before installing QQ. So what is the prompt?

Finally, an unexpected discovery made you find the reason, the original Win8 task manager was also named "TM.exe"; Hey, you said that your name is not good, but you have set a name that is agreed by everyone in China. OK! Once the problem is found, it becomes much easier to solve it. Close the task manager and install it.

Question 4. QQ interface crash

The next is a bloody case triggered by QQ, said in the latest version of the official version of QQ 2011 (other versions also have feedback from users), open the group The interface suddenly lost its response after the window. This problem is mainly in the compatibility of QQ and Win8, the solution is also very simple, the transparent effect in the theme skinning can be closed

Problem 5. Metro application can not open

This problem is absolutely painful. It is absolutely unpleasant to install Win8 but not to experience the iconic Metro application. In fact, there are many reasons for this problem. The author summarizes the following points: “The screen resolution is less than 1024× 768”, “UAC is completely closed”, “Using the administrator account”, and so on. There are some individual cases because the graphics card driver model installed by the user is incorrect, so the specific situation needs to be checked again.

Question 6. Overlay can also be received

There will always be some accidents in life, just take a colleague of the author, just install Win8 for half an hour, under the Metro interface “ Control Panel & rdquo; was deleted by his "mark" & rdquo;. This can be easily deleted, and it will be difficult to find it again. Finally, the hard work pays off, after the seven or forty-nine kinds of hardships, this man really found a solution.

In fact, the method is particularly simple, as long as we enter "Control" in the Metro interface (yes, it is direct input, Win8 will automatically start the search program), then the left column will appear that long-lost “Control Panel”. The next step is the focus, right click on the "Control Panel" icon found, and then click the "Pin" button in the lower right corner of the screen, so that a headache is finally solved. Of course, through this example, I believe that everyone can also add more understanding of the Win8 Metro interface.

Written in the end

Of course, as a brand new operating system, we still know very little about it, often encounter a problem to solve one, but each time it can be solved Enhance the understanding of Win8 in the question. It should be said that from the current situation, Win8 is not suitable for general users, not only because the Metro interface designed for touch screen is a torment for the mouse and keyboard users, but also because the system itself is not stable enough.

During the trial period of the author, various Explorer accidental crashes have emerged in an endless stream. At the same time, because Win8 is still in the early stage of development, software vendors do not have much enthusiasm to solve some compatibility problems. It will happen that the QQ open task manager installation fails, and the transparent special effects cause the crash. Of course, the software is developing, the system is improving, and some small problems will be gradually solved in the later stage. At that time, it may be difficult for the author to write an article like this one, but in any case, this is what everyone is most looking forward to, not What!
