Do you have a friend who is technically gifted and can interpret the suggestions that are being made and try to implicate them on your behalf and on your machine?

If not, is a viable option to take the Laptop to a Computer Repair Shop and have them fix Windows 8 for you, or have them install, or return, the Laptop to Windows 7?

3 Weeks and still I don't have this dam driver. I am so fit up with it all. I am not a tech I don't know how to do this. When my laptop crashes again with blue screen I am going to loose it. Windows 8 is the most stressful junk I have ever used.
