    Hi I think we should list programs that don't work after upgrading to win 8.1

    I start

    1-Virtual machine failed and to fix it you need to go to configuration file like ubuntu.vmx or windows 8.1.vmx etc.. and change
    vmci0.present = "true" to "false"

    otherwise it will complain of driver issue

    Yesterday I installed connectify on X86, it worked OK, this morning I installed X64 but connectify reported a driver install failure, win8.1 preview doesn't have bb tethering(yet), so went back to X86. :negative:

    Yep, but when using the Metro Button of Classic Shell, the original Windows Button is still behind it.

    I guess that will be fixed with updates to the start menu replacements, they managed to disable it in Windows 8, Im sure they'll manage it again

    As expected the new button is causing trouble. Waiting for Tihiy to make progress :D.

    I hope StartIsBack gets Win 8.1 support, that's my favourite replacement

    Sounds like they changed the security requirements for things that require 'low level' access.

    I read that Perfectdisk loads, but won't actually defrag, or boot-time defrag doesn't work.
