Two issues with my latest Win 8 install that I'd be grateful for help with:
- my DVD/Cd player has disappeared in Device Manager and Explorer!
I've done the reg edit fix for this available online but it hasn't corrected the problem. Also, I've downloaded the free MS Media Centre, which is also supposed to resolve the issue, also without success - I have the media centre function, but no DVD/CD player recognised by the system.
Can anyone help with advice on beating this bug?
- also, when using Win Update the update Kb2756872 will not install. I've tried doing it manually but, both times, get the 'reverting the changes' error message after restarting.
(For reference, this is the third WIn8 install on this system - both previous ones died after crashes triggered by the hibernate bug, which I've also read is fairly common. This will be my last attempt to get it up and running - and stable. If not, it's back to XP.)
