So, thank you for the list of stuff, I downloaded the StartMenu8 by iobits, and it worked perfectly. Kind of more irritated now then before though, Win8 doesn't come with ANY games? NO hearts, no solitaire, no freecell, or anything like that? I went through all the folders and stuff, and the only games I could find were ones that my daughter had installed on it(the laptop was a combo thing for my mom and for my daughter when she's over there). I had to go download a solitaire game for my mom, as she loves to play that.
Also downloaded Firefox, she was using the abomination known as Explorer, and was ticking me off since as far as I could see, there was no download bar when you started a download, it would only pop up once it was done downloading, which irritated the crap out of me. I have more then half a mind to go tell the idiot that told my mom that Win8 and Explorer was what she would want, to jump off a cliff or something. Worst thing is, he's a friend of my sisters, and knows how old my mom is, and knows her incredibly limited exposure to technology. Can't believe someone who works as a computer guy(he builds, repairs, etc etc) would recommend something like that for a 74 year old woman.
