I've tried posting this problem on the windows 8 forum with no luck;
hoping someone here can help.

Logged in as sole user/administrator. Running Win 8 from Classic
Desktop, no problem accessing the internet ie skype, ie10 etc.

Running from the Tile desktop, skype, IE10 and the App Store won't run.
Other apps (weather, news), do work.

I've tried: logging on as a different user; setting up a different user
MS account; resetting and uninstalling the offending apps; and even
doing a (really annoying) complete reset of Win 8. No luck.

Thank god I kept windows 7 on a separate hard drive - that continues to
work as good as gold.

What's bugging me is why the apps don't work off the tile menu but work
fine of Desktop. Where's the sense?

Can someone more knowledgeable than me (not hard) at least point me in
the right direction... please?


I'm getting this same problem on a brand new pc (2 days old). None of the Bing apps
or IE will launch from the start tiles. When clicked, they go into a solid color
screen with a logo in the center. After about 3 seconds, they return to the tiles.
When I point at the upper left area of the screen, I can see that they are still
running, but still stuck on the solid screen. I've seen web sites where other people
are having this problem also. I think it's going back to Amazon tomorrow.



What W8 or the new PC
