>>We have tested several of our VFP apps in Win8 and they work the same as in Win7. They run in Desktop mode, rather than whatever the other new Win8 mode is called. It looks kind of like the basic UI fallback in Win7 when Aero is turned off, only without the Start bar (unless you download an addon like this one: http://www.iobit.com/iobitstartmenu8.php).

>You said that the computer does not have Start bar; does it have Start button where I can get to the computer so that to copy and paste my files from CD?

Sorry, I meant a traditional start bar with a start button. Ir's changed in Win8. The concept of "Start" takes you to the tile screen, rather than the historical menu. Some 3rd party add-ons restore familiar functions.
