Apps in win 8 close after a second

I guess you need to open the one app two times. Then carry out the split screen procedure. See link for clear details off this
How to Use Split Screen Mode in Windows 8 1

First of all, 64 bit software will only install on a computer that has a dual processor or higher. Secondly, Win 8 is a piece of garbage. XP is the fastest operating system of the group since it is the smallest size. If it is doing the job for you I would not upgrade. If the upgrade bug is getting the better part of you, I would consider Win 7 but NEVER 8.

hi

not every motherboard or on board video is compatible with windows 8

what windows was it running previously

windows 8 was designed for 64 bit platforms which requires 4 gig of ram but you have to also take into account the other hardware components and there maximum configuration

i have run win 8 on 2 gig of ram but it struggles with you tube downloads

i upgraded the ram to 4 gig and run win xp win 7 and win 8.1 on the hard drive

cheers

Frist Turn off window update on those laptop where you have window 8 then take a window 8 dvd and reinstall it on this laptop then activate it on this laptop in this case you have to close you window automatic on one laptop at a time then you can use one window on both laptop. you can follow my blog also-configureserver.blogspot.com

1. On the Start screen, find the Desktop icon and tap it to switch.
2. Once you are in the old desktop look Right-click the taskbar at the bottom (or tap and hold there for a second to bring up the menu)
3. Click on Properties and go to Navigation.
4. Under Start screen, check the "When I sign in or close all apps on a screen, go to the desktop instead of Start" option
5. Click on OK and restart the system

Take a look at this forum: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_8-desktop/windows-8-how-do-i-get-rid-of-the-metro-app/82dca3c2-e5db-4f8d-8627-8176a36aa3f7 ALSO http://www.nbcnews.com/technology/gadgetbox/8-worst-windows-8-annoyances-how-fix-them-962136 AND http://www.iobit.com/iobitstartmenu8.php If all else fails, revert to Windows 7, lose the Cell/Tablet "finger paint" desktop.

On the main screen where you have all the apps there will be a tile with desktop written on it if you click on it it will give you the regular desktop screen similar to to win 7 ,vista.

update your drivers and check the cables out as well

need to go to bios and do change settings. ive never done it with two hdd's i just partition and dual boot. os's were win 7 64 bit and win 8 64 bit.
