RT Windows 8 to 8.1 website flash compatiblity - General Questions and Answers

I used to have Windows 8 on my Surface RT, and used the compatibility list for flash sites to work. Now that I upgraded to 8.1 I can't seem to load some of the sites that use flash.
Example: epikchat.com worked on Windows 8 surface RT with the flash compatibility. But Windows 8.1 gets some weird error saying it couldn't load the xml file.
If anyone can have any explanation where I can start figuring out how to fix this problem it would be most appreciated.
It works flawless on Windows 8.1 IE desktop but RT it doesn't load anymore.
Thanks

[Q] Windows 8 Pro & HTC Touch Cruise Driver Issues

Hi All,
First off I did try posting this in the windows 8 forum but got a message about insufficient privileges so hopefully this is the next best place. If not, apologies.
I'm running Windows 8 Pro x64 on my desktop computer with an HTC Touch Cruise running Windows Mobile 6.1 This worked fine with windows 7 x64 and will still sync happily on my windows 7 laptop sharing all contacts etc. However I cannot for the life of me get the phone to talk to my new windows 8 machine.
It seems I'm missing a driver by the name of "Microsoft Windows Mobile Remote Adapter" (as per device manager of my win7 laptop) but despite 3 hours of searching on google i cant find a download for this driver.
I have tried using Smart Driver Backup to copy the files from my Win 7 machine and tried doing so manually as well but in both cases I get an error on the windows 8 machine saying the driver cant be installed due to missing files.
This is slowly driving me nuts. WM6 isnt *that* old. I cant believe that Microsoft wouldn't include some sort of backward compatibility. All I need to do is sync my contacts to outlook!!!!
Anyone else experienced this problem and managed to solve it?
You will not find a driver for it for windows 8. This is due to MS killing the WM OS all together. Main reason business won't update to windows 8. Most will remain on 7 for many years to come

How to install xap file in surface pro

Plzzz. Guide me to the process of installing win8 xap files of games and app to my surface pro.
Thanks
Heres a guide:
You can't.
XAP files are windows phone 7 and windows phone 8 apps. The surface pro is not a windows phone. It cannot run windows phone apps.
But there is all features like microsoft store and all the games and app.
I think the format would be xap only weather it be win phone or win pc tab. Please do further research
thanks for your help.
Why should I do the research? Why cant you?
Windows phone 8 and windows 8 ARE NOT THE SAME THING. Windows 8 apps do not work on windows phone 8 and vice versa.
Windows 8 apps use the WinRT runtime, windows phone 8 apps use a different runtime entirely and CANNOT run on windows 8 without emulation. You want to emulate windows phone 8? Install visual studio 2012 and the windows phone SDK and start compiling your apps from the basic source code, which requires that the source code be available because the emulator cant sideload .XAP's either, and its slower.
Windows 8 apps are in .APPX format.
Windows phone 8 apps are in .XAP format.
Do your own research next time. .XAP cannot be installed on Windows 8. Its like saying an iOS app runs on OSX or vice versa.
thanks boss... sorry if that research line hearts you but this time things are all clear thanks again for detail description.

Heimdall.exe has stopped working

Hi, I noticed that Heimdall.exe supposedly doesn't work for Windows 8, is there a workaround for that which doesn't involve using another PC with Windows 7, iOS, or Ubuntu?

[Q] RT 8.1. Microsoft access alternatives

i have just been given a rt 8.1 for work but unknowingly my boss didn't realise Microsoft access database cant be used. I also cant use the rt wirelessly and run it off a desktop.

I need it for tomorrow so any help be amazing.

Windows 10 OS ARM version for our XZP

I think the title says it.
When do you think we will dual boot android and Windows?
Can this be hacked whe the HP Envy 2 will be available?
Why would you want windows on an Xperia? The simple truth is no one has done it cause so much work would have to be put into it. Also windows 10, has a terrible market for apps. Better off just downloading the Microsoft apps if that's what u want
Probably because the latest windows 10 arm version can run standard Windows .exe 32bit applications.
I am searching for a Windows 10 port too, but i can't find one. I will try and make some experiments with my Sony.
