So I purchased and downloaded Windows 8 a couple of days ago. I have tried over and over to get it to install but to no avail. I've been using the upgrade option, as burning a disc hasn't worked (twice getting 0x8007045D) and each time I see the new Windows 8 splash screen, it states it's preparing my devices, then after a restart it, blue screens and restores me to Windows 7. There's a lot of dead pixels on the splash screen, and some really glitchy streaks from the mouse.
Now, I've tried the official Windows forum over and over, and after 2 days haven't been contacted or replied by any of the official staff. In fact I haven't had a single reply. I've tried the Tech Chat, nothing. I mean... considering this is the release, you'd expect a little activity with problem solving. So I instead tried a few things of my on, I updated my drivers and tinkered about a bit, but nothing worked. Now after I restarted I can't even run the installer. It says there was a problem in the download, and that I need to re-download. Where? How? Who knows! My email invoice tells me to download the installer, which then asks me to purchase Windows 8 again! I'm furious... how can they have messed this up so bad, and after almost 3 days not have responded to a single question!?
Has anyone had problems like this?!
