Does anyone know if we can do a clean install with download or retail disk?

Well its loaded and working, i have to say there has been some improvements since the last time i tried it. All my games are loaded and i have not found anything that does not work YET :)

Yup - it took ages for me to get mine.

I eventually sorted my issues - it was the printer driver that was causing the problem.

Just been out to Scan computers in Bolton and purchased a better sound card than my on board realtek. The drivers for windows 8 don't seem to like the on board card and i have fitted a new creative labs card instead. The difference is remarkable especially for me as i have to wear hearing aids.
