Hi,

Check with Lenovo Support, their on-line documentation and drivers, and ask in their
forums about any known issues. There may be BIOS, chipset, and major on-board
device driver updates available and/or required.

just forget about window 8 it wont run on your NETBOOK screen it just too small... i have exactly same netbook as yours s110 and i buy n install window 8 pro on it but cannot open any metro apps even after i try changing registry value like this http://liliputing.com/2011/09/how-to-enable-windows-8-metro-style-apps-on-an-older-netbook.html

so your SOLUTION is just revert back to your window 7 or plug in external display
