Problems since downloading Windows 10

misschatterbox

I downloaded Windows 10 Saturday and had nothing but problems. I use Firefox and IE and since downloading when I go on the internet all my graphics have disappeared. Like moneysaving forums is a grayish background with blue borders but since upgrading everything is pure white! No colours, no icons. It's the same on every website but weirdly works in Chrome as usual but I'm not a Chrome fan. Anyone any idea why this has happened and if I can fix it please?

Only thing to suggest for now is to make sure you are on the latest graphics drivers. Make and model of PC ?

Try turning off hardware acceleration in firefox and see what happens, if it's ok with it off that will point toward a graphics driver issue.

Early adopters curse I'm afraid.

What did you have before? 8 or 8.1?

NB Intels current W10 drivers are not considered stable and are currently in beta.

That is why you shouldn't be an early-adopter.

I do consider myself to be reasonably techie, but even I am waiting a while before looking at Win 10.

Tried turning the hardware acceleration off and made no difference

Do not get Windows 10! It's ruined my computer and the internet. I tried reverting back to Windows 8.1 but even though it said that's what I was using it still looked like it does now in Windows 10!

The Internet is still working .
Biggest problem is the same as Win 3.1 a failure to download drivers first . Plus a clean install on an empty PC is always better than an over the top upgrade .

Right click my computer properties and it should say what windows you are using .

Is your Firefox up to date?. Have you tried to reinstall it?
