Leaf Network driver not installing

I have 1 Windows 8.1 computer that refuses to install the leaf network adaptor correctly.  I am using the same installation files that I used for others installs that work fine.  I have uninstalled completely and reinstalled to no avail.  The log in credentials work from other computers with no issues.  The firewall makes no difference.  This is driving me a little nuts.  Any help on where to look to look as to what setting I have need to adjust in the computer is much appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Dan

    I tried it very well on my windows 8.1. What errors will be reported when you install?

     

    If you still can't, you can try the following methods:

    You can install ReadyCLOUD_V1.16 and copy "leafnets.sys" with C:\Windows\System32\drivers,then install V1.19 and replace V1.16 "leafnets.sys". Restart it in the device manager, it should be fine.
