oh c'mon Microsoft .. am not just sure why you keep on doing this.

Anyway a simple solution is to change your location to somewhere else possible, such as United States

Enter the original Width and Height then your desired Width OR Height and the new Width and Height will be computed automatically

Size ResizeImageInHeight(Size orgSize, double desiredHeight)
{
	double orgW = Convert.ToDouble(orgSize.Width);
	double orgH = Convert.ToDouble(orgSize.Height);

	double newH = desiredHeight;

	double hP = (newH / orgH) * 100;

	double newW = (hP * orgW) / 100;

	return new Size(Convert.ToInt32(newW), Convert.ToInt32(desiredHeight));
}

Size ResizeImageInWidth(Size orgSize, double desiredWidth)
{
	double orgW = Convert.ToDouble(orgSize.Width);
	double orgH = Convert.ToDouble(orgSize.Height);

	double newW = desiredWidth;

	double wP = (newW / orgW) * 100;

	double newH = (wP * orgH) / 100;

	return new Size(Convert.ToInt32(desiredWidth), Convert.ToInt32(newH));
}

Please lower the volume down. I'ts a little bit noisy. Thanks.

In this video, I am going to install Windows 8 from using UltraISO, to installing Windows 8 in continuous 46 minutes video. There will be some little captions telling what I'm trying to do or what I was doing.

so I'll be showing:

- UltraISO

• selecting ISO
• writing files from ISO to USB drive

- Selecting USB to boot

- Installing Windows 8

- Showing the dual boot screen

- Seting up the Windows 8 for the firstime

- Seting up my dual monitor in Windows 8

- Playing with the apps and features

• IE
• Video
• Music
• Pictures
• Messaging
• Mail

- Enabling Administrator mode

- Installing my System Power application

- Showing who boots faster

Yes you can install .Net Framework 3.5 in Windows 8 offline. The .Net 3.5 package is already included in the ISO but installing it requires an elevated command prompt which means you have to run the command prompt as an Administrator and run Deployment Image Servicing and Management Tool (dism.exe)

Click the image for larger picture

as you can see on the image, Windows 8 installer has x86_netfx35~~~

So after running the command prompt. Type

dism /online /enable-feature /featurename:NetFx3 /all /source:<w8_setup_drive>\sources\sxs

Then wait until it completed successfully.

Yes, I recently ran into the same problem as everyone in the world (I think) had. If you install Guest Additions in Windows 8, after it restarts, you'll already notice the freezing of the Metro 8. You can't barely click anything, because it was constantly freezing.

Before installing Guest Additions, make sure to enable "Use host I/O cache"

After enabling that, start Windows 8 and you'll have the full control back of your Windows 8 Metro again.

You might experience some blank screen some times but a restart or forcing it to shutdown and restart will solve the problem.

Here are the simple steps to enable Administrator mode in Windows 8:

1. Search for "command"

2. Right-click on "command prompt"

3. click Yes

4. Type net user administrator /active:yes and press Enter

I recently had a task to code an wallpaper app that supports multi-monitor. I had hope that it would be easy just by doing some simple graphics and split and combine stuff.. But it was NOT! I struggled for 3 days trying to solve the puzzle. I done some corel photo-painting work to simulate the sample image rendered, it worked on my desktop because I have dual-monitor setup, but the time I tried the sample on other PC (a friend that has dual-monitor), it did not work. I am thinking about it, day and night what's going on with Windows wallpaper tile setting.

Yesterday, I found out that is has something to do with your display appearance

If you noticed, my #2 monitor is positioned in -1280(x),0(y) coordinate and then I realize a friend is probably has his 2nd monitor position after the 1st monitor which makes me thought, this has something to do with wallpaper image tile. And then, I made a graph out of it.

In this example, we are going to have a 3 monitors with 1024x768 on each screen and a 1 - 2 -3 d. Thanks to VirtualBOX for making this possible

this is the wallpaper I used. Just a big 3072x768 image.

If I changed the monitor position to 2 - 1 - 3, this is how it will look like

which is wrong, because what we want is to have the same panoramic effect even if we change the monitor position. So what we're going to do is to fix the image in way that in that 2 -1 -3 position, the image is still perfect. This is the new wallpaper image

and this how it looks like in our 2 - 1 - 3 monitor position

I just found out though that this only works AFAIK from Windows 98 to Windows 7. I recently tested the same technique in Windows 8 but It doesn't work anymore because of the new feature in background type where the wallpaper can be easily span.

THE GRAPH!

Alright, I forgot about the graph. The graph I made was my reference on how the screen is positioned in virtual space coordinate.

In this graph, we're going to use this image as an example of tiled wallpaper

Single Monitor is always positioned in x0, y0 coordinate

Monitor 1 - 2 position

Monitor 1 - 2 - 3 position

Monitor 2 - 1 position. 2 is already in negative coordinate

Monitor 2 - 1 - 3

This is an example of wide monitor (#1)

So if you're going to make your own wallpaper for your multi-monitor setup. Don't forget to refer on the graph. It's tricky sometimes

nice little game from Google. Sorry, I just found out!
