1. Why use Windows 8? If your dual booting or even triple booting like I do ( OSX, Win 7, Ubuntu) Windows 7 is a better product anyway and cheaper to find 2. Your windows OS is corrupted somewhere and it may be best to delete the partition and start fresh 3. Did you update your bootcamp drivers properly?

    [quote]1. Why use Windows 8? If your dual booting or even triple booting like I do ( OSX, Win 7, Ubuntu) Windows 7 is a better product anyway and cheaper to find[/quote] I do dual boot with OSX and Windows. I wasn't familar with windows so I asked a friend and he said windows 8 was just as good as windows 7 just it uses tiles. [quote] 2.

I didn't think nothing of it at the time. If you don't mind my asking, what makes you think it's corrupted? I'm just curious so I know myself next time. Also if it corrupts does that mean i got a bad install disk? [quote]3. Did you update your bootcamp drivers properly?[/quote] I believe I did. I have OSX mavericks and when I checked it all my stuff was up to date.

[b]techniclly win 8 has a better core functions then 7 but people still prefer 7 over 8 not just because of the metro UI ( the tiles) but that many older and some newer games will not run on 8 because mostly of driver and coding complications not because of incompatibality)[/b] [quote] 2.

Usually when you dual boot and a basic process like a web search works on one side but not the other, using the same applications, then somethings wrong. Maybe you installed something without knowing it. ( windows tents to install junk unaware to you if you are not very careful and vigilant) or maybe theres a problem with your install[/b] Also if it corrupts does that mean i got a bad install disk? [b]that could be a reason, but hard to test[/b] [quote]3. Did you update your bootcamp drivers properly?[/quote] I believe I did.
