Apps / Software :: How To Run Metro App In A Window - Not Full Screen

May 8, 2014

I'm playing with this free Siri like virtual assistant for Windows PC called SpeakToIt. Speaktoit - Your Personal Assistant

Unfortunatly it's a cruddy Metro UI version and not a real desktop application. I had to use a tile manager tool called OblyTile v0.9.8 to be able to make a desktop shortcut because I don't a truck with 8.1 That tool is here btw: [APP] OblyTile - Tile Creator for all programs. - xda-developers

Now I want this app to run in a window instead of fullscreen. An app like this.. i don't get it.. why leave it full screen when you have to multitask? I'd like to run this in a custom sized window that I can tell to always stay on top of other apps.

Is there a way to do this?

Apps / Software :: Programs (games) Will Not Stay Full Screen

Sep 15, 2014

When I play games or use any sort of full screen program, it refuse to stay in full screen and flickers to the desktop after a 10-30 minute period...I'm aware this is probably another program trying to take control, but I can't seem to pin it down. I've tried disabling startup programs through task manager and I've also tried ending background process, with no success.

Apps / Software :: Open Or Save To Folders Locked Into Full Screen

Feb 25, 2014

I don't know if this is a Windows issue or just an issue with my software but I was using Corel Paint shop pro x6 and I'm not sure what I did but after opening files or using the save to option several times, all of a sudden the window started opening full screen and there doesn't seem to be any way to minimize it.

I tried to see if I could at least drag it some place but it won't move. I tried going to every side and corner to see if I could resize it that way but nothing happens. This is the only program that opens my folders in full screen so perhaps it has nothing to do with Windows but how I can get my folders to open in a small screen where you can move them over or out of the way of something you might be looking at.

Apps / Software :: Metro Apps Got Black Screen And Glitches?

Jan 30, 2014

Some of my Metro apps have just started to act weird.

My Email app just show a black screen.

XE currency loads forever and my Windows Store just flicker parts of the screen.

Metro shows weird search results.

I got an Acer 8935G so there only exists one VGA driver for this laptop. I installed it a couple of days ago and I'm suspecting this to be the cause since it wasnt like this before I installed the driver.

But I hope this is not the cause since with this laptop model, I dont have any choice when it comes to display drivers.

Apps / Software :: Some App Icons In Metro All Apps Screen Missing?

Jan 10, 2013

This happened after I uninstalled all my metro apps this morning, rebooted then reinstalled them. Chrome also updated in the meantime.

They're the only icons that are broke so clearly something has happened between now and then to stop icons displaying properly for new programs.

Is it worth rebuilding icon cache? Not sure the icons for metro are the same as filetype icons in Explorer though.

Split Screen And View Two Metro Apps At Same Time

Jan 29, 2013

Windows 8 allow us to split the screen and see two metro apps at the same time. I miss the windows' windows ( windows without windows is quite stupid for me ), but I like metro. Is there any way to split the screen many times, horizontally and with different ratios? ( not only 80:20 )

Apps / Software :: Can't Delete Some Tiles On Blue Metro Start Screen

Feb 13, 2013

So, I have been trying to rid my Toshiba Satellite of a ton of bloatware they put on a new laptop running Windows 8. There are also some unnecessary Windows 8 tiles I can't get rid of from the big blue Metro start up screen.

Some, the ones that I guess are "apps" I can right click on, select "unpin" and they're gone, but others I cannot get rid of

Here's how my problem presents:

I select ALL APPS by right clicking on the blue Metro start screen.

Then I right click something like a game "It Girl" or "Polar Bowler" and I see PIN TO START, which I don't want to do, UNINSTALL, which I DO want to do, RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR, or OPEN FILE LOCATION. Uninstall just takes me to the control panel's "add/remove programs." Well there are no games there. I uninstalled them from there already. The other options just take me to the desktop

I'd love to be able to delete these tiles (some games, but also a number of Toshiba programs I'm never going to use.) But I've been unable to find the key.

Browsers/Mail :: IE10 Metro App Not Available In Metro Start Screen?

Aug 30, 2013

IE Metro tile is missing from my metro start screen. It's not in the 'all apps' list either. when I go to program default, it is set as the default browser. I went through all the checks in the tutorial on here, but at best, I can only get the desktop IE tile to pin to start. I would rather have the metro version tile on my start.

Full Screen Program Crashes

Feb 5, 2014

I sometimes experience crashes when playing some games, which is perfectly normal and I can understand that no program can ever be 100% crash proof, but I have noticed some really annoying behaviour during and after a crash.

With many games, when they crash from a full screen window they often cause the window switching behaviour to stop working, starting task manager to close the program is nearly always impossible because I cant switch to it. Any error dialogues, with important information, cant be viewed because all I can see is a blank black/white window, which cant be closed or interacted with in any way.

Often I find myself struggling to close a crashed app, and resort to logging off or even restarting sometimes.

Things I try that rarely work:

-Trying to even switch window.
-Trying to use task manager.
-Right clicking on the taskbar icon to close (doesn't close the app when pressed)

How it is caused and is there anyway to get rid of it?

Video Opens In Full Screen?

Apr 2, 2014

Windows 8, running on desktop, no touchscreen.

In Windows 8, I opened for the first time a video, with the video app.

It opens in full, maximized screen.

In Win7, for example, when opening a video (with WMV) the usual minimize, maximize/adjust size buttons appear in the upper right corner of the active window.

I want to be able to click on, with my mouse, the maximize button (wherever it is) and adjust the size of my active window.

How do I do this in Windows 8?

Viewing YouTube Videos Full Screen

Jul 22, 2013

On my desktop computer, when I try viewing youtube videos (and videos from some other sources) full screen, the toolbar across the bottom of screen in the desktop mode remains visible, blocking my view of (and use of) the player controls at bottom of the youtube player. All I can see is the seek bar moving as the video plays. If I put the toolbar in the AutoHide mode, then I can see (and use) the youtube player controls.

On my laptop with Windows 8, this problem does not exist. The entire player appears normally as if there were an "always on top" mode.

One difference is that the laptop had Windows 8 factory installed, while I installed Windows 8 over XP in my desktop. (That $39 deal offered at the beginning of the year was too good to pass up). Both computers have x64-based processors.

Computer comparisons:
Laptop: Samsung; AMD A6-4400M APU with Radeon HD Graphics, 2.70 GHz; 4.00 GB RAM, 64-bit OS
Desktop: Homebuilt; AMD Athlon Dual Core Processor 5050e; ATI Radeon 3000 Graphics (with latest driver); 2GB RAM; 32-bit OS

Neither computer has the toolbar in the AutoHide mode.

On some sites with the desktop computer, when I move the mouse pointer toward the left edge of the player, the seek bar retracts and I can't grab it to drag it to the right. I don't know the if laptop also has this problem.

Anything That Utilizes Full Screen Minimizes To Desktop

May 24, 2014

I have been trying to fix for quite some time now, ever since I went to Windows 8 my computer just minimizes to desktop for no apparent reason and I cannot figure out why. There are no viruses on my computer, because I have re-imaged the computer to a fresh windows 8. The only thing I have installed are:

Airport (used to connected to my NAS at home)
Apple Application Support
Apple Mobile Support
Apple software update
Bonjour
Citrix receiver
ITunes
Visual C++ 2012 x64 redistributable
Microsoft Xbox 360 Accessories 1.2
Nvidie 3d Vision Controller Driver 33.182
Steam
Team Speak 3
Windows Defender and Firewall

Seems to happen at no particular pattern, usually takes around 10 minutes before I am minimized to desktop. I even tried turning UAC off and all of the auto updates. what this is happening? The only workarounds I have is to run in windowed full screen which has a lower framerate on average.

When Clicking On Tile In Windows 8 - It Brings Up Full Screen

Nov 17, 2012

How can we reset the size of the screen that is presented after clicking on a tile in windows 8? I have two monitors and have my desktop going across both monitors the way I like it. However when you click on a windows 8 tile, the screen it brings up fills both monitors. its annoying because whatever I am viewing is centered down the middle of two monitors and trying to read it is awful. I want to be able to set the window size that appears after clicking a tile to be half a screen (only one monitor). How to accomplish this? I know you can go to desktop mode and it will be sized however I like it, but I need to change the size of the windows after clicking the tile.

Full Screen Flash Video Very Poor Quality

Whenever I go full screen on youtube it looks terrible.

Blurry and 256 colours. Something similar happens to the desktop when I leave fullscreen from VLC or VirtualBox. That makes sense though, I guess this is some metro related memory saving process.
