Installed Win8 in dual boot with Win7 on Asus A42JK.

LAN does not work. Jmicron lan card driver is not accepted by Win8. However Wifi does work.

Any suggestions?

If WiFi working,start Windows Update and you will get driver for LAN from Microsoft.

Probably Developer Preview couldn't be updated to Beta without a reinstallation right?

From "reliable source":

CODE
Im not for update build to build, but i have tried it, from m2 to pre beta, upgrade working fine.
Ex: Installed a M2, updated to 7989, updated to WDP, updated to Pre-Beta = working.

Also working downgrading.

I have installed 32 bit and 64 bit with developer tools. All has no problem. Do a file hash check, see if it matches Microsoft's MD5.

the way it intended to work is, u dun hav to close it manually.
whenever u done wit an app A, just switch to next app B.
app A will b put in pause modem which wont use any resource. it will auto close after a while idling.

problem is, when i wanna open a lot of apps, & no longer need it, then when i switch app using alt+tab, those unwanted apps haven't close.
meaning i hav to scroll through more apps to get to the 1 i actually wan.

also an issue, wat i u r running something inappropriate & u wanna close it immediately...... unsure.gif
