Windows Media Player crashes / freezes on Windows 8 Release Preview 64 Bit

[kingrob]

You do know that Windows 8 consumer preview is beta software?

The Wi-Fi may very well also be an old/incompatible driver. I don't know why the display drivers would affect it though!

What I did was I went and downloaded the latest drivers for all of my components, and that solved most of my issues (I also had the Wi-Fi diconnecting).

So you've got hybrid power and the Nvidia Windows 8 drivers actually work?! Mine doesn't work with those drivers at all!

The driver worked for me. I installed the Windows 8 Nvidia driver. I have only played NFS TR for like 20 minutes online, Mass Effect 3 and Blur. All my games worked well so far. I am going to play NFS TR for an 1 hour and more, because the game normally crashes when I play it for more than a hour. This is apparently an Nvidia Optimus issue.

I checked on Intel's website for the latest drivers. They don't have Windows 8 Drivers, so will windows 7 64 Bit drivers work?

I have an Intel® Centrino® Advanced-N 6230 Wi-Fi card on my laptop.
