Thanks
Can't seem to get anywhere with swiping the screen as described. If I use a mouse, and go to the bottom left of the screen, I can get the start option. If I use the mouse towards the left top of the screen I can see the applications. If I right mouse click over the application thumbnail, I get a context menu option to close it (the one and only option). I can swipe from the left side to move to other applications. I can touch and hold on the right hand side to get the charms displayed. I thought that having to use a mouse to do some things was a bit disappointing but then maybe it's my inexperience. Maybe I should look at an introductory tut on win8 Regards Peter Maddin Applications Development Officer PathWest Laboratory Medicine WA Phone : +618 6396 4285 (Monday, Wednesday,Friday) Phone : +618 9346 4372 (Tuesday, Thursday) Mobile: 0423 540 825 E-Mail : [email protected]; [email protected] The contents of this e-mail transmission outside of the WAGHS network are intended solely for the named recipient's), may be confidential, and may be privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure in the public interest.
