Robert, your having no problems with 8.1? This is your laptop right? I have been having problems from the start with my laptop that came with 8.1. For one it would not update. I was missing the file that actually tells the computer to update. Had microsoft in my computer on and off for 24 hours. We thought we got everything fixed. Now I find new errors this morning that have to do with AMD card , some windows files and the sims. Microsoft shut down everything in my computer so I could install the sims with no interfearence. I went to find the files so I could get the game to get the game to accept the card and the files are not there I have no graphics org files. just sgr files only and they are tex files I cant change. AMD card is also saving apps automatically it should not. I dont know if this is an HP, Windows or 8.1 problem or AMD problem. Im wondering if this card just does not work with 8.1. Calling AMD in the morning. Time to return this computer It's a lemon.
