Windows 8.1 Not Working Properly after Updating Boot Camp Drivers to 5.1

Hi all!
Recently I had a problem with the sound in Windows 8.1 using BC v5. That problem was resolved by updating the Boot Camp Drivers to 5.1. Now I've more problems than before.
1. Some service are not loading at all at the startup (which did before)
The Boot Camp service is not loading automatically at startup, other Windows Services are not loading at the startup after updating the Boot Camp Drivers (Windows Update)
2. Microsoft Office cannot verify license for the product.
This problem is due to the services that won't start automatically. I can't even do a repair of MS Office 2013... Even though it's a legal version of MS Office.
There are many many more problems I think... I just haven't discovered them yet which is very very annoying. When I was using Windows 8.1 with the Boot Camp Drivers version 5 there were few bugs than now...
Please is there any notice of these errors? Or am I the only one who is experiencing these errors??? Please give me some answers!
Thanks in advance!!

I updated them by downloading the zip file from the Apple site...
I've just updated Mac OS X and it seems that this was the solution... Everything works fine! (For now)

Brightness adjustment in Windows 8 does not work properly on rMBP

Finally Apple has released 10.8.3 and the new bootcamp officially supports Windows 8. I have used it for several days but only one little thing. I don't know if this happens to other users.
The brightness adjustment just has three levels. Dark, level 1 brightness and level 2 brightness. The screen cannot be brighter after these levels. Also there is no Apple brightness level figure showing, instead the windows 8 brighness level figure shows, and the screen goes dark when the brightness level bar goes only half way down.
Here is the example. If I hit the brightness minus button again, the screen goes dark.

Oh I know what the problem is. I tried to uninstall the light sensor driver and everything works fine! In Windows 7 I used to disable the light sensor feature so there was no such problem. I tried to find such setting option in Windows 8 but nothing found so I just uninstall the driver.

Gadgets not working properly in windows 7

For some reason the gadgets in windows 7 are not working properly. I can open the gadget gallery and select a gadget, but it doesn't show the entire thing. For example i select the clock, and all it shows is a black square with the red ticking hand frozen. Another example is the CPU meter. All it shows when i click on it is a little white square where the meter should be. I can still close the gadgets by way of the close button on each gadget though (the calendar doesn't appear at all). UAC is turned on and i have rebooted the pc, same thing still happening. (It is Enterprise edition if that makes any difference). If anyone could help that would be great!

Have you come across the problem where some of the Gadgets that you added to the Sidebar/Desktop are not displayed correctly? For example, the clock gadget may be displayed as a black square containing only the "seconds" hand. Other gadgets may show up as
white rectangles with an information (i) icon and a plus sign. The settings button next to the gadget does not work, but the
x to close does. Here are some screenshots:
The above-mentioned behavior is caused due to the following reasons:
A subkey with foreign/ASCII character exists under the "Zones" registry key.
XML registration is missing in the system.
Use these steps to fix the problem:
Fix for Case 1
1. Click Start, type Regedit.exe and press {ENTER}
2. Navigate to the following branch:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Internet Settings \ Zones
3. Under the Zones key, delete the subkey shown with an ASCII character:
4. Exit the Registry Editor.
5. Logoff and login back to your user account.
Fix for Case 2
1. Open an
elevated Command Prompt window. To open an elevated (admin) Command Prompt, click Start, click All Programs, click Accessories,
right-click Command Prompt, and then click Run as administrator.
2. In the Command Prompt window, type the following command and press ENTER:
regsvr32 msxml3.dll
3. Similarly, run these commands:
regsvr32 scrrun.dll
regsvr32 jscript.dll
You should see the DllRegisterServer in <filename> succeeded message for each command executed.
4. Logoff and login back to your user account and see if the Gadgets display correctly.

Windows Network Shares do not work properly

Ever since installing LEOPARD (now running 10.5.2) my network shares on our Windows server are not working properly. I can connect in the office via cifs:// and the share appears. I cannot copy a file to the share. I get the following message:
"The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient privileges for some of the items."
There is an icon with a size of 0kb on the share, and if I try to open it or trash it, I get a message telling me it is in use by the MAC OS. I can open a file from the share, but if I try to save it back to the share or save from an application I get a "There has been a network file permission error."
If I try to copy the file to my desktop. I get a message that tells me that I don't have permission.
If I try to connect using https:// I get a username or password not valid message. Both of the connection methods worked BEFORE I installed LEOPARD. The install was a clean install, not an upgrade. I NEED to be able to access the shares for my work. The shares are on a server running Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 2.
How can I solve this? I actually have administrator privileges on the server with my login credentials, but this does not seem to matter.

Experiencing the same exact problems here. Brand new Mac Pro on a Windows 2003 Server network. Somehow I don't think it is any rights problems in my case, as I can create and erase folders (created by me or others), and the Mac writes the .DS_Store files to the server...
However, if I try to copy a single file or a folder containing files to the server, I get only a 0k file (inside the folder if I copy a folder) and after a while an error message saying the same things William Colvin2 mentions above (not sufficient privileges).
Everything I have read seems to indicate that there is huge problems with Leopard with regard to this, and if that is true, they need to be fixed ASAP. I think I've tried and tested all the possible "solutions" (disabling SMB digital signature, GPO policies, disabling IPv6...) but still no solution in sight.
Can we get some info from Apple on this whether it's being worked on, or what we can do to SOLVE this problem? As far as I know, Windows 2003 Server hasn't changed in that respect recently, whereas OSX has gone from 10.4 Tiger to 10.5 Leopard...
Any help with solving the problem is greatly appreciated, so feel free to respond with anything that might be helpful. I would also be interested in hearing from people who have HAD this problem, but has gotten them solved. And if so, what solved it for you.
Thanks in advance.

New Release QuickVPN client 1.4.0.5 for windows 7 does not work????

New release of QuickVPN client version 1.4.0.5 for windows 7 is not working properly.
We can not connect; instead we receive this message:
"Remote Gateway is not responding, do you want to wait?"
Dear Cisco,,,,
Your release is not complete; please correct issue and advise after it has been tested.
Rgds, EM

Hi, first disable this POLSTORE.DLL again in your QuickVPN-Folder. Then start in this folder IPSEC.MSC and than IPSEC.EXE. You should get from IPSEC.EXE the error above. If not, than any other problem you have. Follow all the hints here in this thread.
If you get the same error above, than enable this POLSTORE.DLL again and start the IPSEC.EXE. You get the full info what has been gone. And within the IPSEC-Window for Local Computer you may find this FREESWAN-setting.
B.t.w. before I went this way I did export and import the IPSEC-settings from the XP-machine, as it was hinted some posts earlyer. But the way I have gone, works also with manualy deleting the FREESWAN config. With the IPSEC.EXE it will new generated in any case.
When you start via QuickVPN you may monitor also what happens within this IPSEC for Local Computer. Press F5 to keep it aktual.
From time to time the connection gets only succeeded after the second and more times. I have a very slow UMTS Internet-Access.
Juergen
Adding: These effects, getting not connected, first and during the VPN-Tunnel exists, has not changed since the top-first Version of Quick-VPN.
Dear customer, be patient, don't care about these stupid messages, click again or when the connection allready has succeeded through the VPN-tunnel do what you did like to do.
...... and again, with which configuration-scenario do the guys at Cisco test and develop .....
Fortunately, I never was a Cisco partner, only a poor user ;)

Home sharing not working properly on my iBook OS X

Hi, I just purchased a iBook OS X, and I'm having trouble using it. I have used Windows my whole life and this is new for me.
The problem I'm having is trying to transfer my iTunes music library from my windows of to this iBook, and I have tried doing home share and authorizing computer on iBook, but it doesn't do anything. Unfortunately my windows pc is not working properly and it freezes up every time I try to log in, so I can't really do nothing with that. I can't even check if that pc's home share is turned on, which I think it is.
Do you guys have any idea how I can transfer my music library without having to use my windows pc?
Please helppppp! I purchased this laptop from a guy, so I don't fall in the complimentary service and can't afford to pay apple care.
Thank you

Plug and play speakers not working properly after upgrading to Windows 8.1

After upgrading to Windows 8.1, my plug and play speakers do not work properly. I have uninstalled and reinstalled them, and restarted. When I try to play music, nothing comes out. If I turn them off and back on, music will play for approximately 30 seconds, only from one speaker, then it turns off and fades to no sound. They worked fine until I upgraded to Windows 8.1. The manufacturer has not been able to successfully assist me. Has anyone else reported a similar issue after upgrading OS software? Any suggestions? These are fairly new speakers, less than 2 years old, and not used very much. I do have them installed via a K-V switch, and all other devices linked to the K-V switch are functioning properly (monitor and wireless keyboard). Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

"Itunes has detected a problem with your audio configuration. Audio/Video may not work properly".

Turned my Dell running windows 7 off 2 days ago. Turned on today. Launched ITunes and got message "Itunes has detected a problem with your audio configuration. Audio/Video may not work properly".
All my albums are there but won't play.
Deleted Itunes and reinstalled. Same as before.
Any ideas ??

Hey MrCurwen,
I was able to find an article that included the same error message you're experiencing:
iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot run because it detects an issue with QuickTime
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1371
According to that article, if you see the error message "iTunes cannot run because it has detected a problem with your audio configuration," QuickTime may need to be reinstalled. Please follow the steps below to uninstall QuickTime and then download and install QuickTime using the QuickTime standalone Installer.
On the Start menu, click Control Panel.
Follow the steps appropriate for your Windows operating system below.
Windows Vista and Windows 7: Click Uninstall a program (or if using Windows Vista's Classic View of the Control Panel, click Programs and Features) and select QuickTime in the list of currently installed programs.
Click the Remove button (or Uninstall for Windows Vista and Windows 7) and follow the prompts to remove QuickTime from your computer.
Download QuickTime. Note: There are two options for downloading QuickTime, be sure to select the option that does not include iTunes.
During the download:
If you choose to run the installer, proceed to the next step.
If you choose to save the download, double click the QuickTimeInstaller file, then proceed to next step.
Follow the on-screen instructions to install QuickTime.
Reopen iTunes.
Cheers,
David

Flash player does not work properly on Windows 7 32 bits

Hello,
My flash player does not work properly on Windows 7 32 bits with Firfox and IE8 (lasts versions).
My Flash player version : 10.0.45.2, but I tried with version 9 too, with same problems.
I have tried to uninstall, reboot, reinstall several times, ... witch did not worked.
In fact, it works correctly on some sites, like youtube, but not on some others like :

http://www.myspace.com/ => no audio player, right click gives flash context menu
some games in http://www.kongregate.com/ => black screen instead of games, right click gives flash context menu
I have no problem with shockwave in http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/welcome/

But in the Global Privacy Settings panel (http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager02.htm l), I cannot change any settings :
I cannot check boxes,
My changes are not saved.
In most of flash animations, videos, ...,

when I am in full screen mode, the message "press escape to exit...." does not disappear.
Last thing, all those problems was not there when I was on Windows XP, few weeks ago, and appear with my registered Windows 7 premium familly edition, with the same hardware configuration...
Thank you for your help

Windows 7 Brightness and Function key not Working Properly

i have HP 15-af024AU APU Quad Core A8-7410 - (4 GB DDR3,1 TB HDD) Noteboook and it came with windows 8.1 preinstalled than i installed windows 7 ultimate.
i have problem in Display Brightness i am not able to change Brightness by function key or by manually from windows settings.
2. my Function key are not working properly . all key are fliped whiout holding function key it work as function key. 3. bluetooth is not working when i search for new device not able to find any available discouable bluetooth device. 4. wireless button software is not wokring in windows 7 i already updated my bios that available in drivers support and install alll drivers too properly so please give proper drivers for windows 7 for this product that works perfect.

Sorry that driver didn't work. You can try this graphics driver and if that doesn't work, unfortunately, I won't be able to help you with that issue. This package provides the AMD High-Definition (HD) Graphics Driver and Catalyst Control Center for supported notebook models that are running a supported operating system. For notebooks with switchable graphics modes, this package includes drivers for both graphics processing units (GPUs). Switchable graphics enable users to switch between a power-saving graphics mode (normally used under battery power) and a high-performance graphics mode. If high-definition multimedia interface (HDMI) video output is supported, this package also installs the HDMI Audio Driver. File name: sp71253.exe As far as the Fn keys being 'flipped,' I have no idea what you mean by that, or what to do about it. Did you install the software that controls the funtion keys? This package contains the HP System Event Utility, which enables special function keys on supported notebook models to be programmed. For example, HP System Event Utility enables users to press the Fn+ESC keys to view system information. This software works with the supported operating systems. File name: sp71156.exe

Windows 8.1 not working properly, may be due to graphics driver issue
