Windows 8 OS Problems

[HurlW]

Mr. Shark007 and anyone sees this:

Hi. I just got the OS updated to Windows 8 consumer preview. (But the same problems occurred when using Windows 7, too, kind of. )

I've tried Win7codecs 3.5.3, 3.5.4 and Win8codecs 1.0.2 with my Windows 8, and all of them have the same problems as follows:

1 Something's wrong with the codecs: The video (mostly MKV) shutters sometimes, not smoothly played. I've tried the "suggested settings" or "disable media foundation", "disable Microsoft's Video/Audio codecs", no help.

2 Problem uninstalling the program: It's always telling me I should close IE before uninstalling it, but as a matter of fact, IE was never running and I even disconnected the Internest connection and closed any other program that's possibly running.

3 Leaving me no choice, if I agree to "automatically close IE and proceed the uninstallation", it does proceed, but my screen becomes all black and the computer is kind of dead, I'll have to reboot it everytime.

4 So I kind of tried K lite like I used to. But shark007 wouldn't let me. Even I uninstalled shark, it looks like it's not willing to be completely gone from my computer, and even I manually deleted the remains of it, as many as I can find, I deleted them, when I try to install K lite, K lite will tell me it has "detected win7codecs are installed in your system, you have to uninstall win7codecs to install K lite", but I never figured how I'm supposed to uninstall something that I have uninstalled... So as a result, even K lite is finally installed, it can't work along with my computer well, like it used to. I wonder if there is a way to competely uninstall win7/8 codecs...

5 The thumbnailing becomes a mess. Even belonging to the same extension, some have the thumbnail, some don't. And even the same file extensions could have different thumnails, after uninstalling shark007 products, the thumnails become blank, I'll upload a screenshot later.

6 I figured these problems probably have things to do with Windows 8's own inadequacies: I failed to notice at the first place that if this display issue is caused by the codecs, or the system itself: The resolution. I've chosen it to be the highest, which looks absolutely fine in Windows 7, now in Windows 8, same resolution, but if you look closer, you'll see the screen is filled with, like the pixels, but now with bigger cube/cells, you know, like a grid or something, if the pixels looks normal, it wouldn't be too perceivable like this, but now the little cells are much bigger then the usual size, it's like you set your screen resolution to 1024*576 but its original size should be 1920*1080, so it's not so clear and comfortable and you can easily see the "grid". But a little difference is, when WMP plays a video, although you can still see the "grid", the image won't be too bad, because there are still "pixels" arranged inside each of the igger cubic cells, so the video is still kind of clear like HD quality, only like, there is a bigger fishnet covered on your HD screen. I'll post a screenshot later too. Have you guys encountered this display problem? I think it's probably just a Windows 8 thing.

I probably should edit this post later but now my computer is half dead again. I'll have to post this for now and reboot the computer. Duh.

Thanks for your time and help. Really appreciate it.
