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.
