I should have known better! Windows 8.1 breaks things!

Hey guys-if you want to keep your sanity, do not update to Windows 8.1! I did, it broke everything

I am in the process of rebuilding my laptop from scratch. Couldn't connect to my max because it dropped the driver for the Rambo(which I need by the way. Does anybody have a link to it? The SeeMe site isn't working for some reason?) Couldn't use Inventor Fusion, because of some incompatibility with preview!

And on...and on

I guess I could look for the silver lining and do all the mods I've been meaning to do while I reset everything. AAARRRRG!

ive been printing on 8.1 for days, i didnt have this issue.
i used the store, downloaded 8.1 pro with media center and installed.
i don't think i did anything special besides powering the beast up and printing!

Thanks for the link Eaglezsoar, as usual I emailed SeeMe and they got the link on the site fixed and pointed me in the right direction. Great customer service

I'm back up and printing after much colorful language

bubbasnow-do you use Inventor Fusion? Does it work on your 8.1

I use it for almost all my CAD work.
