Posted by on in Microsoft and Windows, Software

Toolbox is a very cool Windows 8 app which allows you to multitask various things.  For an example, I can browse the web, check the weather, use the calculator, and so on at the same time.  Although the idea isn’t new at all, but the execution of the app is beautifully done within Windows 8 environment.  Nonetheless, I think the developer of Toolbox app can totally improve it by enabling more tools within the app.  Anyhow, check out the video above and you’ll know what I mean.  Enjoy!!!

Watch the video above, and I’ll walk you through how to create a Windows 8 image.  Basically, what Windows 8 image does is to allow you to restore your Windows 8 system back to the time that you had created the image for Windows 8.  So, let say couple months after you had created Windows 8 image your Windows 8 system acts abnormally, you can just do a Refresh (a recovery feature within Windows 8) with the Windows 8 image and your Windows 8 system should be back to how it was when you started to create the Windows 8 image.  This means your Windows 8 file systems, personal data, software that came with Windows 8 and software that you installed from various sources, and the settings of Windows 8 will all be restored.  Just remember though, before you do a refresh, you might want to backup your abnormal Windows 8 system so you can actually restore the files and software that you had created/installed right after the creation of the Windows 8 image.  Anyhow, enjoy the video!!!

Update:  OK, so I was a bit too harsh on TechSmith.  After talking a lot more to them, a tech support guy at TechSmith was able to point out why Camtasia 8.0.3 would not launch on Windows 8.  It turned out that the upgrade for Windows 7 to Windows 8 would definitely prevent Camtasia 8.0.3 to work correctly, because to have it worked one needed to install Windows 8 from scratch.  That meant I had to reformat the computer, re-installed Windows 8 as if it was brand new, and then Camtasia 8.0.3 would work correctly when installed onto Windows 8.  I was able to confirm this as I had done exactly what they told me, which was to re-install Windows 8 from scratch.  You guys can read the rest of my original blog post, but only part of the old paragraphs are still meaningful now, because this paragraph right here is the solution to my complaint in the title.  I’m smiling at the moment, please share the joy with me!   Read the rest of the old post so you get what I’m saying in this post!

Installing Apps On Windows 8

Posted by on in Microsoft and Windows, Software

Windows 8 is a strange beast in a Windows world, because it’s radically different than its predecessors.  Its Start screen alone might be too scary for Windows users who prefer something much more traditional such as Windows XP.  These users have no idea, because Windows 8 not only looks different, it feels so different too.  Nonetheless, strangely enough there is something which Windows 8 might be able to relate to some of these users.  What I’m talking about is installing apps on Windows 8.  Yep, many users who do not dare to venture into another operating system, but these same users are properly switching to more advanced smartphone all the time.  Obviously, smartphones are famous for holding apps.  So, whoever thinks that apps are the absolute things that they must have, I guess installing apps on Windows 8 might not be so alien to them.  Anyhow, within the video right after the break, I introduce you to Windows 8 app world!  You’ll be surprised how easy it’s to install apps on Windows 8.  So, check it out and enjoy!!!

What About Windows 8 Music App?

In case you are wondering about Microsoft Music app buzz on Windows 8 lately, I’d made a video to let you have a quick glimpse at it.  Anyhow, I forgot to mention few details about the Windows 8 Music app, but it was no big deal since the video wasn’t meant to be a complete tutorial or anything close to that sort for Windows 8 Music app.  Plus, the Windows 8 Music app is very simple to use anyway.  Besides you have to know when to do a right click on for whatever that needs to be right clicked on so a contextual menu could be brought up at the bottom of the Music app (or next to the very item within), Windows 8 Music app is rather self-explanatory.  Anyhow, check out the short video on Windows 8 Music app right after the break.  Enjoy!!!  (I wish I can do a screen capture correctly on Windows 8, but at the moment it is impossible since Camtasia Studio 8 isn’t working correctly on Windows 8 for me.)
