I'm looking for a cheap Ethernet + USB Hub that is compatible with the Surface 2, basically something better than the $50 adapter that microsoft sells. Something like this perhaps; http://j5create.com/our-products/usb-hub/juh470.html Anyone use anything like this? How do I know it's...

I have recently purchased the HDMI Adapter and am pleased to report it works as intended. A certain movie playing app is working well, 720 and 1080p files work as intended, BUT 1080p does not stream over the wifi network without occasional stuttering. I have ensured it's not a limitation of the...

Sorry, I got busy the last few days, first chance to get around to trying more solutions just now. I was being nub. First I tried the Ikea website again, it came up mobile version, then i did the whole Compatibility View Settings (CVS for short ok) thing not realising I first had to switch ikea...

I definitely recall that Ikea website loading in Full version when I first got the Surface 2 (first week it was released). It was 8.1 then, I believe an update along the way has caused this behavior. If I go Pc Settings> Update & Recovery>Recovery>Remove everything and reinstall windows, it...

Interesting, this definitely needs addressed, we should not be forced to mobile versions of websites on the surface rt/2! Does anybody rekon this is related to the original problem I'm having? I rekon they are connected...

Im using a logitech unifier receiver with a K400 (trackpad), works well. Not sure why yer mentioning this tho, of course I'm aware of the full size usb ports, one of the reasons I got one. How's that related to my problem tho? What happens when you try to access IKEA | Affordable Swedish Home...

I think I have stumbled upon a possible cause. I just tried accessing Ikea.com from the Surface 2, it's default load is the mobile version of the webpage, not the full version. IE is stuck in mobile app mode :S This thread might shed some light Internet Explorer 11 on Windows 8.1 RT always goes...

It's a work thing, she may well do. I'm not sure Outlook would work in this particular situation as I think it's Citrix based, and all email stuff has to be done via browser. I appreciate the workaround but for now if we can focus on why it's not working on a Surface 2 yet does on a PC I think...

MY wife's accessing emails through mediaportal webpage. There is a pull down menu, it simply allows you to show coverage at various time increments, such as last 5mins, last 2 days etc. Once you select the option (highlighted) and click it or hit enter it should refresh the entire webpage and...

Yeh I get a few different error messages, when googling the errors and reading the threads of suggested courses of action, none seem to work... :S Which is why I'm kinda thinking to bypass this problem and just go new printer anyhow (as it's on my to do list). I just wondered if MS has released...

I'm having issues getting my Canon MP610 that is connected to my Win 8 Desktop machine to print from the Surface 2 over network etc. I won't bore you with all the details as that's not quite the point of this thread, but I'm in the market to buying a new printer anyway. I'm wondering if there is...

hahaha yeh my fault... So... discuss pros and cons of Surface vs Chromebook. To my eyes they are similar priced, similar devices aiming at giving you just internet really and not alot else... Which one wins? I'm not bumping thread for sake of bump, Chromebook has come up as possible option for...

I never got a solid reply on asking about the streaming capabilities of the surface from a Win 8 pc. If i have set up 'shared folder' on my Win 8 machine, can the surface see those files and access them (provided they are compatible and have an app or program to open them, excel, word docs etc)...

Good point. #4 yes you can have upto 4 other users on the RT...maybe more I think but I'm not sure/ Perhaps I'm not as blown away as you are, but that's maybe cuz I already have my Nexus 7 act as a remote control for foobar2000 (music) and MPC-HC. I am also familiar with splashtop so could...

You know what, I feel stupid for bringing up fb and imdb (when u have a full proper working browser) lol, and it sounds even dumber but I never even thought of using IE10 pinning webpages to start menu... :| (<<<< brainwashed) Ok, so more to the point then, how are people finding IE10, the...

I knew it supported Flash, I was aware of this white/black list thing (before posting), but I also wanted feedback on how well it handled it, if it stutters and falls over during intense flash etc. The general consensus is it does it well (better than android). I'm not entirely sure what apps...

Having established the RT does flash pretty well this puts it ahead of the ipad for some educational websites relying still on flash. The fact it comes with office is also great, but what about apps? Specifically educational apps for primary aged children, this is where I see the RT fall flat...

Interesting... Thanks for letting me know. Perhaps I should now create a new thread discussing the pros and cons of the RT from a educational perspective.

I prolly linked you to australia portal for lego, you could try your european version, see if it's any better. I plan to see a Surface RT in store this Saturday morning, hopefully its online and i can test myself..

It seems some places still use flash and haven't crossed over yet to HTML5 (such as this website). Could you also head over to LEGO.com Games and try a couple of games/flash content.. is it working ok? I figure lego is a good tester for flash, none of it works on the ipad2 we have. Could...
