Cannot run Microsoft games after upgrading Windows 8 Pro
After you have installed Windows 8 Pro I found my old Microsoft games (Solitaire, etc.) in the Windows.old file and used successfully and Favorites to the start menu. The next day (after several Windows updates) they would not start in the start menu or from the executable file in the Windows.old folder. Tried to restore the (only) listed restore point but received a message that it cannot restore. Tried the troubleshooting of compatibility without success. Uninstall the updates and restarted the resolution of compatibility issues, with the same results. Have right click on executable, open properties and set to run in Windows 7 compatibility mode and run as Administrator without success. How can I get my games to run on this POS?

Help! -Acer Aspire all-in-one touch screen after upgrade Windows 8 Pro
Hi all!
This is a rather confusing questions and about * me off no end! I know that some of you may have encountered this already and could have a potential solution?
I have an Acer Aspire all-in-one, AZ5101 (Aspire Z5101), with 4 GB of RAM, etc..
Since the Developer Preview of Windows 8 came out, I've been running Windows 8 perfectly. I completely uninstalled (each time itself) and run the following:
Windows 8 Developer Preview, 64-bit
Windows 8 Preview of consumer, 64-bit
Windows 8 Preview, 64-bit version
In any case, on this PC worked perfectly - y INCLUSIVE of the TOUCH SCREEN. I never had a problem.
So far so good. Then, they finally released updates Windows 8 Pro official licensed by download. I bought the upgrade and downloaded. Just like in * ALL * other cases, upgrade, I chose "keep nothing" of the old system (I never really got all the important data on here), and do the upgrade itself.
After the upgrade was complete, and ALL Windows 8 Pro updates have been applied by Windows update, I have a system where the screen is clear and precise, everything works, and all devices in Device Manager, show the Greens well, it works fine - NO ERRORS. HOWEVER - NO CONTACT! No touch no screen function at all. The screen now has this time as a standard monitor.
I tried the driver Idéacom - no luck. Anyone know (please? LOL) how to get the touch screen to work again? Thank you very much! I really appreciate any help you can give. Microsoft technical support had NO idea and no reply emails from Acer! Laughing out loud
Thanks again,
Mike

Aspire 5560 stopped scrolling shortly after upgrading Windows 8 Pro
A few minutes after installing the upgrade of Windows 8 offer that I got with my Aspire 5560 on my touchpad scroll function no longer works. When I checked the support for drivers downloading Web site, I found two ads for the 5560. A list was 5560 15 "and there is no drivers for Windows 8 and the other was 5560G that does not have Windows 8 drivers for the touchpad. My machine is 15 or 15.6 so I think I should use the 5560 15 "site. This site has no drivers for Windows 8, when I'll be able to get a driver that allows my touchpad scroll?
The drivers for the Aspire 5560 and 5560G are the same, except for the graphics drivers.
Please do not hesitate to use the Aspire 5560 G drivers for Windows 8.

Hi Brucgovn, thanks for the answer! Just sorted and came here to update the post.
My method is similar, I just do the following:
- Go to C:\Program Files (x 86) \Adobe\Adobe Creative Cloud\CoreSyncExtension (this was the only file on the left, all others had been removed from the CreativeCloudCleaner use of the Adobe Creative Cloud cleaning tool to solve installation problems running
- I came across the problem trying to remove, so used Unlocker (Download Unlocker 1.9.2 - FileHippo.com) to unlock. Then deleted. It's explorer.exe using the process, which I think caused questions... the process is using the file
- Reinstalled and everything seems to work.
