Okay, I have win 8.1 64bit as well.

Seeing as you have  16GB of RAM, I assumed you were running Windows 8 (or Windows 8.1) 64bit, otherwise there is no point in having more than 4GB RAM. ;)

Thanks for hint....unfortunately going back to win 7 isn't an easy option at present.

I'm not saying that you should go back to Windows 7, I'm just saying that I prefer it.
My computer is a dual boot system with Windows 7 Professional 64bit and Windows 8.1 Pro 64bit, so I can boot to either operating system whenever I like. ;)
