No I dont, cant get that to appear at all - even tried the script MS suggests and that fails to even start running :(

Not my week.... :)

I take it you have installed all your Windows updates?

Seems they have fixed the issue with mine now with my graphics card.

Since I have a domain, where can I grab the files to do an update on the PCs that are on the domain?

Downloaded it, verified it, started to do its thing, got to 60% and then closed. Nothing put on the USB stick.

I chose a 64 gig USB 3 really fast stick which was formatted exfat, if that was a problem for it, I would have thought that it would have alerted me to that when choosing the USB stick from the list.

Not off to a great start as now I have run the tool again, its dowloading stuff again.

Ok worked on the slow 16 gig stick second time around.

Its now "preparing" on the lappy so will see how this goes.

Edit: Ok, its asking for a key, which I dont have because this is a windows 8.1 machine with it inbuilt anyway.

FFFFFFFFFFFF!!!!!
