1347008 2013-07-07 01:21:00 I downloaded Windows 8.1 last night. I like it but my only issue is this message comes up every time I start the computer.

The btvstack could not be started

Anybody know of a quick fix?

The driver 8.1 install may not be compatible with the BT device you're using. One reason I dont install preview software. It can be buggy, and it may stop something from working

1347011 2013-07-07 09:27:00 Win8 (not too sure about 8.1) doesn't like my BT, too. I've to disable it - I don't actually use it, anyway. bk T (215)
1347012 2013-07-08 00:56:00 I am downloading mine now. What have your download speeds been like? I'm on Fiber 30 so 3.3MB/sec. Interested to hear those on 100Mbps connections :D Nomad (952)
1347013 2013-07-08 03:52:00 A new comer to this windows 8. Are the menu's gone ie like IE. Also with a 24" screen can one resize a window. Seems like a huge tablet. Does anyone use it for work?

Or is that the Desktop mode. What do you guys use the tablet normal mode for?

A few do, most business wont . They will downgrade to Win7 or just wait.
Many people using PC's , as a big part of their job, are hopelessly computer illiterate, dont like change , and management will shun any sort of training.

"Tablet mode" , hey thats an apt description .
Used mainly to access desktop mode :punk

Microsoft are moving to a faster release schedule like every other OS maker. Remember that 8.1 is akin to a service pack ;)

It's called constant improvement.
