You are right. The scaling took care of the Amazon site, and helped with this site. However, if I hit the "enter" key in this reply box, a little circle comes up underneath the blinking cursor, and it starts acting up again. Hopefully MS can take care of the scaling issue, as it was impossible...

The other guys in here probably know a lot more about this than me, as I am new to the Surface too. Anyhow, when I first go my Surface, I cycled the battery all the way down until it shutdown. Then I charged it all the way up. I went through that process the first 2 time I use it. It charges...

Well, here's what it looks like on my Surface 2 when the page loads... never mind trying to hover (mobile or desktop version). I can't move the picture and it's covering much of the text. If I try and hover it goes berserk! As for posting in this forum. It doesn't work for me. I had to take the...

Hey guys... Really love my Surface 2, except for a couple of things. Some web pages just don't work... like this forum (and other forums). I just can't use it to post here or in some of my other favorite forums with the Surface 2. Also, IE 11 doesn't seem to like any web pages with "hover...

Thanks folks. Excellent input. I appreciate it. I'll take a look at that Comfort Mouse. oion, That info on the arthritis will come in particularly handy for the wife. It's sometimes very difficult for her to do anything with her hands.

Got the new type cover 2. Working pretty well, except I had to add surfaceforums.net to the capability list before I could post. The cursor was jumping around and the input was very slow.

Anybody? :disappointed:

LOL... I knew I could do it. They are messing with the wrong guy. :LOL::LOL::LOL:

I picked up my Surface 2 on Wednesday (11/13) at a BB about 30 miles from me. They had only 2 left. The BB nearest me was out of stock on Monday (11/11). I had to order my Type Cover 2 online from BB. Neither store had them in stock. I hope this means that the Surface Tablets are selling great...

You guys were right.... piece of cake setting it up with the on screen keyboard. However, doing anything in desktop mode... not so easy. :LOL:

I agree. A lot of animosity between all the big players... MS, Google, Samsung, Apple and others. I've already sent a couple of "feedback" notes to Google from the Youtube site. I really hope these MS tablets start taking off and garnering a bigger share of the market. It will make websites...

Hey guys, I will be getting my Type Cover 2 on Tuesday (hopefully). In the meantime, I was playing with one at BB. While I think the touch pad is OK... I'm thinking that a real mouse might be better... especially for the wife. She has arthritis in here hands, and she has better luck with a...

Thanks ctitanic, Can you point me to some other video streaming sites? Never mind, I found some. Thanks again... and you are right, they seem to be working fine.

Thanks, I went through device manager and checked just about everything. Each one says "Device is working properly". I see a bunch of error events in the System log that have a source of DistributedCom eventID 10016. Not sure what that's all about. Removing Youtube from the compatibility...

Hey guys, Got the new Surface 2 last night and I've been playing with it quite a bit. Nice machine so far, with one exception... I am having trouble on Youtube playing videos on both the mobile version of IE and the desktop version. The desktop version won't take any input from the on screen...

Makes sense. I'll go with the MS Account. Thanks guys.

Thanks again. Do you guys recommend using a Microsoft Account or a local account when you set up? I would prefer to use a local account, and then access SkyDrive when I need to. Are there any other benefits to using my Microsoft Account during set up? Is it easy enough to access SkyDrive later?

Excellent! I'll be setting it up tonight. Any tips?

Thanks guys. Don't have a USB keyboard, so I'll use the touch screen.

Hey folks, Picked up my new Surface 2 last night. Unfortunately, I had to order my Type 2 Cover online, and it won't be here until next week. Question... How difficult is it to get it setup without the keyboard? This will be my first tablet, so I'm not to familiar with the onscreen keyboards...
