Classic Shell: Forum

I am unable to reproduce this or the other graphical issues on 64-bit Windows 8.1 with Nvidia card, and on a 32-bit Vbox. I tried both 3.6.8 and 3.9.0.

What videcard do you have? Might be a driver issue.

Videocard integrated - Intel® HD Graphics 2500

I try update video driver, delete driver, bootup safe mode - problem stays.


Can really be a problem in the Russian language Windows 8.1? For example here glitter3 said that he installed the language pack.

Ivo, have you tried in safe mode?

How do I boot into safe mode with Win 8.1?

And it asks the developer of software?

actually im kinda suprised by that to , but i guess there are lots of niches.. and no one knows everything

Windows 8.1 is quite new, I have not had time to experiment. It used to be that holding down Shift would allow a safe boot but it doesn't work anymore.

Also if installed 2 OS - then safe mode on screen under all systems.

hmm didnt know they took away the shift method, havnt used 8.1 at all , but yea i guess that makes sense, usually once people find a way of doing something they tend to forget/ignore other ways.. especially if those ways are more complicated

Another way to boot into Safe Mode is via Shift+Restart and then choosing Windows Startup Settings in that new Windows 8 pre-logon environment.

Another way of booting into safemode is getting a virus that messes your computer up so it automatically boots into safe mode LOL

Another way of booting into safemode is pressing reset on system block.

Try the latest build. It has a fix that might work for you.

Latest build works!

Ivo, you have reproduced the problems in safe mode?

Yes, I was able to reproduce it. It was a reentrance issue that for some reason only happens on Win 8.1
