When I say wrecked, I mean really wrecked. Forget about safe mode and all that. The only thing I can still access is my BIOS and that's about it. Since my PC did not come with an installation disk and I did not burn recovery images, I'm pretty much screwed...

Reminder for everyone: make a recover disk.

I guess it's back to the good old Windows XP

GW doesn't add more in the register than FAF already did. And nothing was added in the last update.
Also, I don't add anything in a strange place, it's easy to remove and the installer is supposed to clean it when you remove it.

I'm pretty sure it's not related to FAF, I follow MS recommendations to the letters.

funny. half of the answers on the MS support forum came from people who didnt undertand that either.

Safe mode

that means press F8 after the BIOS started.

If windows 8 doesn't start because of that kind of problem, you need to contact microsoft support, because that is shitty. (Or you can boot from a disk and try that!)

Since the latest GW update, I'm unable to boot my Windows 8.1 OS. I never had any problems before, but now my PC shows a critical error '0xc000000e' and the famous blue screen (yes it still exists).

I know what some of you will say: "this has nothing to do with FAF, Windows just sucks". However, some googling told me that this error is caused by "incorrectly configured system settings or irregular entries in the Windows registry. Common reasons include incorrect or failed installation or uninstallation of software that may have left invalid entries in your Windows registry". And I got this error right after I rebooted because of the last FAF upgrade.

I can't get you any log files because I can't boot my computer anymore. So this is just a 'heads up', that there may be something seriously wrong with the GW code.
