Strollin: "Have you tried using your favorite search engine to find Photoshop specific help?"
Nope, usually RV.net give up anything I need ... so here first.
What makes you think it's a Windows 8 problem?
Because it's new and everything I try to do it acting up and driving me nuts and even the things that work, work weird - I simply don't like it and never will, and will probably buy a new HD and put wdw7 on it - and keep the LT -- And there's NO start button, so you gotta go all over some other places to find what you need ... and even then, it sometimes goes to a full face window, with no way to 'go back' and no buttons, it just sits there and you rip out one hair at a time and frazzle one nerve, then start over ... Did I say this wdw8 s...ks ... yes.
The POPUPS are 'tiles', part of the wdw8 program, I think, or at least loaded on this LT when I bought it. WDW8 really s...ks IMHO
