Installing Visual Studio 2012 RC on Windows 8 RP Running on ThinkPad T510 (4349)

When trying to install Visual Studio the splash screen for the installer would come up with a black screen and never go away.  I gave up trying to get this to work.  Came back to it this weekend and saw Lenovo released another video driver for Windows 8 on August 9.  Installed the new driver, rebooted and Visual Studio installed with no issues.  FINALLY!

Blogging

I’ve tried to blog for years.  As you can see it is not going well.  I have 100s of drafts and I think 1 published page.  With 4 kids, a wife, a challenging job and a house that is falling apart I just don’t have the time.  I still plan to write some articles but they will be short and sweet.  More like writing notes for myself instead of trying to create the perfect article.
