I'm sure Caliban could find a suitable emoticon to reply to that - I would be much too polite :-)It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world. -
Yes, via Metro screen. Windows 8.1 upgrade helps things quite a bit, btw.Originally posted by french frank View PostNo, not that one.
I've just got Windows 8 installed on a partition of my Mac (never mind why). But doesn't it automatically have some sort of email program? If so, where is it? If not, um, what is one supposed to do to set one up that will work with Windows?

Actually, I made a mistake in that - it was Windows 7 Home Premium. Eventually managed to contact Kaspersky to get my Internet Security (newly renewed on the other machine) on the partition.Originally posted by Lento View Post
But I had to buy a new copy of the one programme which needed Windows, purely because I spotted a cheap deal (£20) and couldn't face trying to explain/work out how to get my subscription reactivated to download it on to the MacBook partition. But it's all working fine
So far

Progress seems to be being made. One thing which you need to know is that a number of kayboard assignments are different in Windows on the Mac. If you use the Mac keyboard (inevitable with a laptop!) then it does help to have a table of useful keys. Most are fairly straightforward - knowing when to use CTRL or CMD etc., but there are some odd ones. Pages such as the following might help - if they don't confuse further, that is ....
There are some keys where the poor machines get confused I recall - such as @ and " and a few others which may simply get swapped over. However, the character confusion can be specific to machine and keyboard, so keep an eye open.
If you find any particular characters/keys a problem, post here, and hopefully someone will find a key or key combination which will work.
Depending on your hardware you might also find that Left and Right buttons present "issues". I found that using an Apple Magic Mouse with Windows. They do work, and will recognise Left or Right - but sometimes one has to be a bit assertive, and make a very definite press on the RHS to get the Windows menus up. Similar issues probably apply to trackpads - likely to be relevant for your MBP.Comment
