Didn't last long. Sometimes the computer would not launch beyond the Gateway Logo, sometimes it would but with no key or touch mouse, sometimes stuck on Classic Shell with no key input, no touch mouse. I'm system restoring to dump the windows updates now......... waiting.........waiting.......waiting!
I'm considering dumping all classic Shell, then do all window updates, then do a new Classic Shell install.
Ooh! I've got the Gateway Logo & the spinning 5 white pong balls...now a blank dark blue screen.....now the Windows 8 date time screen...password screen....now square icons like one of them new fangled "cellphones". Three of them are Classic Shell icons... menu settings... Classic Explorer Settings...Classic IE settings. Now I'm interrupted with a "Get Windows 8.1 for Free-install now/remind later. I'll select later-Oops no finger mouse! Plug in USB Mouse... select Classic Shell menu Settings... looks good, but now have Classic Shell Update Window...autocheck for new versions (I deselected it) -Check Now - OK/Cancel. I selected check now.... there is a new version....4.1.0 - for Win8.1. Maybe the Win8.1 update will restore my finger mouse. I'll try it,
Then I'll load CS4.1.0
