Win8 mouse
Sort of a followup to my earlier post, but with a
different issue. I got a new SSD for the Asus I asked about earlier. Windows installed without problem, although it refused to allow MBR partitions on a UEFI machine. Not a big deal, but I would have liked to have stayed with the old system for better compatibility. The install found the Product key, which I copied using Produkey, just in case it's needed later. But the BIOS-embedded key seems to work fine, as Paul predicted. Now there's just one issue. I'm not sure if it's Windows or a hardware glitch, but I seem to be getting a focus-follows-mouse behavior. Selections change with hover. Lingering over an item for a few seconds becomes an involuntary click. I don't see any related options in the mouse settings applet. Is there another place where that might be controlled? Or is it maybe a funky mousepad? (This is a laptop and my experience with those is very limited, so I don't know whether such malfunctions are common.) Also, thanks to those who suggested Classic Shell. That saved me so much trouble. An effortless Metro-killer. I then removed the "Windows Store" from the taskbar and seem to be functionally free of Metro. |
