    I overcame a problem where I couldn't install a range of programmes, such as Firefox under Windows 8. I ended up doing a sytem refresh out of desperation, there must have been a better way.
    I hate Windows 8.
    That gum you like is coming back in style.

    From what I have read you are not alone.

    One solution I have seen is to run CCleaner and clear out all the cookies and registry errors. That sorted it for one person at least.

    Good luck!
