We artists are indestructible, even in a prison cell or concentration camp I would be almighty in my own world of art. Even if I had to paint my pictures with my wet tongue on the dusty floor of my cell. - Pablo Picasso
That made me a laugh so hard. And the face he didn't respond with his other comment!

hi, jHouse, I hv no idea why i should update the Boot Camp drivers for Window. i hvn't touched my window for a bloody long time. but will try it out later to see wht happen. thanks~!
Can you not open the BootCamp assistant once you've upgraded from the Beta? I thought that was the issue?

I ended up backing up doing a clean install.
puting the disc in window, then i reli don't know wht to do, it kinda updated itself, well, it's said on screen when i was shutting it down with the disc still in. nth happened in OS, the Boot camp assistant is still expired...
plugz, there's a hell lot of work to clean up n install everything again!!!
earlier i installed Whatsize n now i hv Onyx, Whatsize helped me look for some massive files but with no use, n Onyx help to clear all the cache stuffs. They did help to clear up like 2G~!!!!
Back-up to external drive, wipe, install OS and restore from Time Machine backup.
Simple.
oh, a follow up. I reset the system time to 2007 then did the following.
Launch the Boot Camp Assistant by going to your Applications -> Utilities -> Boot Camp Assistant.
Keep clicking ok and continue, then it's done, in a snap!!!!
I reli can't imagine it's done this easy by cheating the system back to 2007!!!!!
Thanks for the update!
