    WifI Doesn't Connect Automatically

    I use a D-link usb wifi adapter to connect to the internet. When Windows 8 starts up, it starts connected but then immediately disconnects. Even though I have my connection set to automatically connect, it doesn't. So I have to go to the wifi settings and manually connect to the router.

    To Find Out When This Version Expires, . . .

    . . . click Run, type Winver, and read the expiration date.

    You guys really want to work with a W8RP which doesn't work properly? OK just for fun but not seriously. Any 7 is better than a malfunctioning 8beta. These malfunctions are intentionally just to make you wait for the final version and pay for it or go back to what "You have paid for" :rolleyes:

    Unbelievable!

    Nvidia drivers 302.80 caused BSOD every time I boot. (SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTIONnvlddmkm.sys)

    Intel HD Graphics Driver 15.28.0.64.2770 still has no support for Quick Sync!



    PS Problem was caused by LucidLogix Virtu, which is currently incompatible with GeForce 308 drivers

    i seem to be having no problems everything working fine, skype, office 2010, mozilla, company of heroes etc. Only thing i have noticed is my system rating has gone down by .02 points. Using AMD Athlon 64x2 5000+ 3gb ram Geforce 8400GS I gig ran graphics card. Missed the start but it's ok when taking the mouse in the coners and moving it up it comes up as a side bar.
