My Windows 8 Lenovo laptop is basically brand new and is giving me all kinds of problems. First off, whenever I wake the PC up from sleep/hibernate, or unplug it from the power supply, the wifi adapter loses its internet connection and I have to reboot.
Second, and this just started today, I suddenly can't connect to Exchange via Outlook 2013 (or 2010 for that matter - I uninstalled 2013 and installed 2010 to see if that would fix it). I tried deleting and recreating my profile, deleting my .ost, reinstalling Outlook, copying the settings exactly from a PC that has a good Outlook config on it, but it will not connect. I know my password is good because I can connect to OWA and my phone is synced just fine.
Finally, I can't get this thing to boot in Safe Mode. I'm pressing F8 on startup and it's not working.
Please help - I'm an IT consultant and I'm baffled and infuriated with this POS and seriously considering trading it in for a Win7 laptop, or at the very least wiping this machine and installing a Win7 image on it.
