I have just put my hands on a Windows8 machine. Unfortunately, it came
with a good portion of junk and crabs on it. And making the jump more
or less directly from WinXP, I am a bit lost with the new screens of
Windows8.
First of all, where do I go, to get to the Add/Remove feature under
Windows8? I guess you can hit the Win-key, and type something, then
get quickly to the uninstaller. But all I try, typing things like
"uninstall" or "Remove", I don't get anywhere. Using the tab-key, only
repeats a list of several Windows apps, and Google chrome. But that
list stays the same, no matter what I put in the search box of the
start menu. So I have a feeling, there must be another approach for
uninstalling software. Even when I tried to enter "control panel", the
list of features was that different from what i expected, and nothing
about Add/Remove, that I simply left it alone, and hope for some more
experienced person to guide me a step further.
Secondly. The computer has Office 2010 installed, along with Outlook
2010. I have a couple of issues with the Outlook. I managed to add on
two different mail accounts. Yet, they show up, with each their
individual Inbox. I would have prefered to have them all go to same
inbox, if possible - like in my old Outlook Express. Further, when I
arrow down to one of the inboxes, hit Enter, I am placed in a list. I
guess, I should have seen all the incoming mails here. In one of the
inboxes, there is only one (the very newest one). In the other inbox,
there is none. This is really strange, specially since the computer
has given me the "incoming mail sound", a few times. So, there really
should have been several mails. And I can confirm this, by checking my
mail accounts from my old computer. What setting would I be missing here?
Also, if I am in the list of mails, I then tab once, and end up on
something that is reported as "Day View", or quite close to that. This
one, says the date of today, and gives me a start and end time, with
only one minutes difference. I did look in the ribbon under the View
menu, but can't seem to find anything that would affect this. How can
I get rid of this "day view"-thing, or make any educated and
reasonable use of it.
Well, I never planned to upgrade to Windows8, and I have stuck with my
well-working Office 2003, way up til now. But sure enough, it blows my
mind, to find my way around that new Windows8 design, and I hate the
ribbon of the modern-day software. But that is just what we get, now
aday, so might as well do the plunging now. I just would greatly
appreciate a bit of guidance from any user who would have some kind of
feedback on these issues.
Thanks alot,
