I finally got feed p with the Asus K75D with Windoze 8. It kept auto
zoom and doing some other annoying things. I came to the conclusion
that using Win 8 was like trying to suck lumpy turds from a skunks
behind through a hollowed out thorny rose cane. I went back to Best
Buy to the Geek Squad to get Win 7 installed. Explanation that the
drivers are specific to Win 8 and 7 could not be installed. He told
me I could put Linx on a thumb drive and install it when I want to or
need to use it. He did turn off the auto zoom and a couple of other
things and it is now working more like previous Windoze apps. One
thing that got me was to exit something was not intuitive to
previous. Grab the top and pull to the bottom. OK, I may be able
to conquer this yet.

Dale why is your computer adding blank lines in stuff you forward?

Take the windoz hate drive HD out and keep it for warranty
purposes. If you decide the sell the computer you can also put it
back in.

Buy a new one TB drive and install Linux Mint with Mate. It is real
easy to do. Takes less than 20 minutes.

In the unlikely event you don' like Linux you can put the windoz hate
drive back in.

And if you can't give up windows you can install windows in
virtualbox and have the best of both worlds. This computer that I am
wiriting on at present is a p4 3.2 Gig and runs windows quite well in
viritualbox. If you need help with the install email me and I can
help you through it. There are some tricks in the install process
which are not well publicized. I think you will like Linux Mint 14
mate. It is similar to Win xp and the transition to it will be very
easy. There are thousands of Linux Debian programs that will run in
Linux Mint. It is unlikely that you will be unable to replace a win
program with a Linux program.
