Hi,
I noticed the Windows 8.1 free update offer in the Windows Store yesterday, and I decided to install it. It was a BIG MISTAKE! Windows 8.1 is not yet ready for production. My laptop now can't connect to the internet, both via ethernet and wifi. In the device manager, there is a Code 12 (not enough resources) for both my wifi (Intel Wireless Wifi Link 4965AGN) and my ethernet drivers (Broadcom). In addition, there is a frequent Console/Terminal window that keeps popping up every now and then. I can't read what it is doing because it goes on and off very quickly. In the system event log, there is a problem with certain component not being able to register itself to the DCOM server. It's freaking annoying.
Help! What can I do to fix this? Is there a downgrade option to the old Windows 8? I don't want to reinstall everything, because I have loads of files and stuffs in there.
Thanks.
Henry
