Windows 8 help

Well, I guess that there isn't any way to fix this problem. Nothing I have tried has worked. I'm like mcanx, I'll get used to it.
Stoney: What about Mission Builder? Have you had any luck in setting it up with multiple installs? ...or a single install?
 
Mission builder refuses to engage, although I haven't tried everything yet, I'm not holding out much hope there either.
 
One solution and another strange problem

I found that I can reach MB via Free Flight and hitting alt to open the CFO dropdown menu. Another glitch I found in at least one of my installs is that when I take a screenshot using GCS (Grab Clip Save), the resulting shot is completely black. I'll soon test and see if this holds for the other 2 installs and what happens when I take a video with GCS. :isadizzy: PS: It seems that the latest version of FRAPS (3.5.99) is not compatible with Windows 8 neither for stills or videos. BTW: In videos, the sound records but the picture is blacked out. Also it would only play if I manually changed the video format from .avi to .mpg.
 
FRAPS Update

The FRAPS people emailed me that the current version is working with "some" games. But they will coming out with a new version soon that will be fully compatible with Windows 8.
 
and yet another...

I'm not sure if it's a Win8 or an IE10 problem, but I found I can't upload screenshots to this site. I open "Manage Attachments" tab and go through the procedure to select and upload a pic and it hangs up at the "upload" phase. I tried it several times and waited 10 minutes + to give it time to finish cycling, but no joy. I even tried a smaller size screenshot (960 X 770).
