I have been testing this computer for a couple hours now. I do get music skips but so far it has not crashed.

I have a new Dell Computer with Windows 8 and Hoster 5.08. It has touch screen technology (if that makes a difference). I am laboring to figure how to do most things on this computer. So if there are changes that need to be made, I may need instruction on how to do them. There are number of operations that are very easy on XP and even Windows 7 that I still don't how to do on Windows 8.

It may be helpful if I were a tech type of person but I'm stumped and don't know what to do next.

Thank you ahead of time for any help that I can get.

What model Dell, where do you get your sound from, and is the video specified as "optimus"?
