Is it possible to prevent the reorientation behavior of Windows? (Windows 8 on a Surface Pro in particular.)
I'm already setting a few flags that I thought would help, but no luck:
application settings xml:
<fullScreen>true</fullScreen>
<aspectRatio>landscape</aspectRatio>
<resizable>false</resizable>
<autoOrients>false</autoOrients>
... is there anything else I can do to keep Windows 8 oriented to landscape while my fullscreen air app is in focus?

I am using Windows and Kioware to start my Intel Stick computer in kioks mode. The kiosk is showing a webpage and everything looks fine, until a white screen randomly appears and there is no change to interact with the webpage.
I use Kioware lite for Windows that runs the kiosk using Chromium.
I use a Samsung Touch Screen TV with HDMI connected to an Intel stick (Windows 10).
Can anyone tell me the possible causes for this to happen?
I have a pen tablet that serves as a brilliant input - I don't use a mouse anymore.
I want to use a swipe + contextual predictor on screen keyboard for my computer. Is there any software available for windows 8 that i can install on windows 7?
ALSO, if all is vain, should I take the pain of installing an android emulator? Will it hog any memory?
I am developing a photo capturing kiosk application on AIR as3 for Windows Desktop.
I have set the stage display to FULL_SCREEN_INTERACTIVE and that works fine. (I have also hid the Start Menu and Task Bar)
The problem is if there is any pop-up like Windows Update or Team Viewer connection etc. it comes to the top in front of my application and then people are able to minimize my application and breach into my windows computer.
Can I do anything to make sure that my application ALWAYS STAYS ON TOP of all other messages, programs and applications ?
The windows phone 7 application which I developed using 7.1 SDK occupies the entire screen on wp7. But the same application when opened in Windows Phone 8 shows some extra margin on top because of which my app was not able use the space on top. Any idea how to fix this?
WP7 only supports only one resolution (480x800).
For 480x800 WP8 devices that's obviously fine.
For 1280x768 devices this scales fine as this is the same aspect ratio.
However 1280x720 devices have a different aspect ratio which leaves the black bars at the top of the screen.
The only way to fix this is to upgrade your project to WP8 using the WP8 SDK (whilst watching out for any subtle issues that may bring).
I am trying to get my windows phone development up and running again.
I am having serious issues with the emulator where it looks like this http://imgur.com/qM4uj

Thanks!

Emulator Video appears corrupted running XNA or Silverlight + XNA
game. The emulator images included in Windows Phone SDK 7.1.1 have a
compatability problem with some video cards or video card drivers. The
problem appears as corrupted display when using the XNA graphics
rendering engine in landscape orientation when system tray is visible.
To work around this problem: XNA games should either set the
orientation to portrait:
graphicsDeviceManager.SupportedOrientations = DisplayOrientation.Portrait;
-or- enable full screen mode:
graphicsDeviceManager.IsFullScreen = true;
Silverlight + XNA games which use landscape page orientation should
disable the system tray:
<phone:PhoneApplicationPage
SupportedOrientations="Landscape" Orientation="LandscapeLeft"
shell:SystemTray.IsVisible="False"
