You need to change the compatible view, once you do that almost…almost everything will work as normal.
The only issue I have is some pictures wont enlarge when I click on them (you know the ones that when you scroll over them you get the little finger that shows you can click on it and open it up into a larger viewing box.)
The only way I get that to work now is to right click and select open and it works fine.
