Dear forum readers,

I tried to install Windows 8 Developer Preview.

After some initial problems, i succeeded in installing Windows 8 (dual boot ) on my laptop.

However, for some reason my printer was installed, but not working.

Printer: Canon LBP6000, it appeared in the control panel, but no properties of the printer.

Tried to download 64-bit drivers from Canon for Windows 7.
Installed the driver, rebooted and try to print.

Error message: something like connection problems. Booted in Windows 7, no problems with printing.

Rebooted in Windows 8,
Got an error message from Explorer.exe and the laptop shuts down.
Windows 8 started
try to fix the printer problems, still not managed to get the printer working.

Then i tried to log of and shut down, Windows 8 did not want to log of, so i tried <CTRL><ALT><DEL>
and got finally to the option to shut down.

Got an error message from Explorer.exe and the laptop shuts down.

Since Windows 8 is not stable on my system, especially not able to shut down, or log of normally,

I want to get rid of Windows 8 Developer Release, but i do not like to loose Windows 7.



It is a dual-boot system.

Hope someone can explain to me how to safely remove Windows 8 Developer Preview. And keep Windows 7, without the Windows 8 Developer Preview boot loader.

Brink,

Thank you very much!

This worked for me.

I think i wait until the Beta version is released, and give it another try.
