If at all possible can you start with a fresh OS install? It will take some time but install updates one at a time and test. Don't install any other software besides the OS. Eventually ( if at all ) you will find the culprit. From there, do some research and see what the ramifications of not using that update will bring. I think you may be chasing ghosts if you don't.
I'll stop surfing the web and smash my pc to little bits before I EVER use FF again. Biggest POS memory leaking crap I've ever used, regardless of version.

Island Dog, you should also mention that Decor8 can also no longer apply a consistent background color to your start menu tiles. That function is now based on the primary color of the icon. Per Neil, this wasn't going to be able to be done now either. 8.1 will now natively allow you to set your desktop wallpaper as the background of your start screen also.
This is pretty much the exact issue I had with IP several years ago if I'm understanding it right. The problems don't arise until you UNINSTALL the software. If it's installed, it works fine.

The thing about Dish or DirectTV is that when bad weather comes along (and it can be 50 miles to the southwest ) your service will go out. We have Dish (TV Only) and are pretty satisfied with it. Internet is with Mediacom and I've done battle many times with them over speed issues caused by too many people in my area on the circuit. After enough bitching by enough people they usually take care of it. All of them are going to gradually up their prices. ( I'm not i
Good to hear Neil! I realize I'm in a minority here with using 8.1 RTM and can most certainly understand that the SD apps may not be fully ready for 8.1. Also, not blaming SD for the Tile Color fiasco. As for the Modern Mix thing. No I can't pinpoint it to a specific action on my part. I was just browsing with Chrome at the time. Can't recall what I was doing on the previous events of it happening. I'll give things another shot when the upda
Also notice that with 8.1 you have the option of using your desktop wallpaper as your start screen background. This isn't as powerful as Decor8 options but considering that Decor8 no longer will handle the Tiles background it negates the necessity for Decor8 at all anymore. Sorry to say that I've removed it. This was a great asset on Win 8 but no longer in it's current state under 8.1. Another note concerning Modern Mix on 8.1. - My "Store" app kept popping
Right, I get that part. So, Decor8 will have no method of addressing this then? That's too bad. If Stardock were able to come up with a nice solution to customize the tiles on the native start menu it would be a feather in everyone's cap. I'm not reverting back to the legacy start menu (start8). As novel as it is, it servers no purpose for learning the new methods which are apparently here to stay. oh well.. I guess I'll have to use OblyTile.

Just updated to Win 8.1 RTM (technet subscriber). Seems that Decor8 does not fix the gawd awful mess that they did with the background color of the tiles. Will this be addressed in an upcoming release? FYI - The tiles in Win8 would all be the same color and Decor8 would set that color based on the colors in your background image ( if you chose that option ). MS has made the tiles to now take on the predominant color of the icon itself now for some stupid ass reason....<

NICE!
Quite interesting as there is no sanctioned official release of 8.1. Even technet and msdn subscribers will not be getting this one early. - Well, it seems Microsoft changed their tune regarding the RTM Release to Technet subscribers. Got it now..
Those of you that have display fusion will probably get the notification. In case you miss it though... That first new feature sounds interesting too!

Jim, Go back to Reply #30 and up the dosage by .5oz. Nothing like flying around the house like an unattended fire hose to get those additional lbs to melt away. Combine that with the acts of necessary house cleaning after the fact and you will be sure to weigh in well under your goal. So glad to be of assistance!

Being an IT Professional I have found Technet to be of great value to me. I don't use the software in production environments but I use the hell out of it in Labs for learning purposes. I've had a sub for nearly 10 years and have more than paid my dues to MS. This just blows chunks.
