Just getting to grips with it on my all singing and dancing new HP Desktop. I must admit windows 8.1 is a bit of a beast. Finding my way around will take a few weeks I think. I'm going for some tuition from a PC expert friend next week who advises me there are plenty of short cuts you can use that are not immediately apparent.

8.1 also has a switch off button now - scroll the mouse the the bottom left and a grid comes out. Click settings and the off button is there. Not sure if they had that on 8?

I'm still using Classic Shell, so much easier!

I might try that if things get too fraught!

I have had my windows 8 since Christmas, getting to grips with it very slowly, the only thing that has me angry is I had Office pro on my old computer, and I am not able to transfer it to this computer as I have lost the licence! and I will not buy it again this will be the 3rd time otherwise.

Loz - download Libre Office. It's virtually a mirror of MS Office. Not sure what you use it for but it's OK for most of the things I require. Word processing etc. Free as well  :)
