Win8 pro metro is not working

[Aviator10]

So I installed win 8 pro and all goes well. But not one single tile on the metro works. It expands to fill the whole screen and immediately becomes a tile again.
I signed on with my live ID, but after some googling changed it to local user even, no love.
Help please?

Preview or RTM/Pro?

The one MS allows you to download for 39$ and burn to your DVD.
I installed over Win 7 home premium 64bit on my HP Pavilion dv7

It sounds like Metro apps are refusing to properly launch. I think one other person here reported that, but I don't remember seeing a resolution.

As per our sticky, we ask that you closely keep to the topic in technical threads. "WinDont" is threadcrapping and is exactly what we wish to avoid.

I think service packs are done for. Microsoft has progressively doing less and less of them with each release of Windows.

OP are you running Win8 on a netbook? 1024x768 is the minimum resolution for Metro to work correctly. I just can't remember if the apps did what you're describing or just refused to open at all.
