    I upgraded from windows 7 to windows 8 yesterday and then I started my music app. It worked like a charm but than I noticed that my pc was slow and the games didn't work so I installed my display driver which was

    - VIA chrome9 HC IGP WDDM 1.1

    after I restarted I noticed that my metro apps were not starting only the MAPS and the camera app was working..

    please help me or give me some update to resolve the issue

    I even tried to clean install windows 8 but nothing happened...

    Please help me :(

    Hi,

    I would suggest you to try installing the Display, Graphic drivers in Windows 7 Compatibility mode and check if it helps.

    Follow the steps to install in Compatibility mode:

    a. Right click the driver installation file and select Properties then tap or click the Compatibility tab.

    b. Place a check in the Run this program in compatibility mode for: box.

    c. Tap or click the drop down box and select a previous operating system, then tap or click OK.

    d. Try installing the driver and check.

    Refer to the link:

    Make older programs compatible with this version of Windows

    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-8/older-programs-compatible-version-windows

    Please make sure with manufacturer to know if there is any other device incompatible with Windows 8.

    Meanwhile, post back the event log about app crash for further research.
