Does it works on Windows 8? If yes, how is it's proper installation? I've been having a hard time in downloading it to my computer. So, can I anyone respond to my inquiry? Thank you.

I'm sorry. I really don't know. It has been years since I used this and that was before I had Windows8.

Hello Linda, I have downloaded this into my new computer that has windows 8, which I hate, but Works does work with it. My prior computer had Vista in it and Works and I got used to it and liked it better than Word. The prior computer got hit by lightening and well you know the rest even though I had a surge protector. The problem I have now is everything that was done on Works on the prior computer I couldn't open in the new. So I got the Works program installed and had to re-do my docs but they do open and I am pleased with this software. Hope this helps. Have a blessed day!!!!! Deborah

I had no problem, mine was downloaded to windows seven and it works fine. Did you try downloading it manually, I am not that computer savvy, so I am afraid I am not much help, sorry

No, I have not been able to get any of the games to work on Windows 8 at all. They download but you are unable to play them. I have tried re-installing the game with no luck. DO NOT BUY IF YOU HAVE WINDOWS 8

FWIW: Have mine running on Windows 7 64 bit without problems so I'm pretty sure it works under Win 8 as well, your mileage may vary though ;-)

I am currently trying to get this to work on Windows 8 with no success yet. It seems to randomly mess up my keyboard USB because my keyboard goes AWOL and I have to unplug it and plug it back in. I've tried downloading the most recent drivers from the website, but those still seem to not work.

It's found to work best with windows 7. It tends to freeze up with windows 8. That's my experience. I hope this is helpful.

Someone downloaded 8.1 for me and had no problem, but the fact remains than Windows 8 in any form sucks. I've had it for several months now and I still hate it. I've had every version of Windows since Win. 98, and this is the only one I've hated. Getting 8.1 does help some and so I'd say it's worth doing, but the OS is just in general a total mess, IMO.

I owned the entire series when I was running XP. When I upgraded to Windows 7, it would no longer work. Went to the silly online game for AoE. So did they rework the software so it now works on Windows 7? Because the original software does not.

I use windows 8, and had to download it from website. I recomend to do that, because the one that came with the device did'nt work, I searched the web and found couple of people with the same problem.

I had a problem with the first disc on windows 8. The second one worked fine. I don't have 8.1 because it was giving me problems so I downgraded to 8. I had to load the firs disc on my wife's xp desktop.

I just bought it, plugged it into my Windows 8.1 system and it does not work. I'll write back if I ever learn how to get it to work. It's not worth having to send it back and wait. So, no- it does not work, accroding to MY experience. It is not recognized at all by my system no matter how I try to access or recognize it. It has zero directions for troubleshooting this issue.

Mine works very well, I have windows 8. So if you have a windows based system it should work just fine. Enjoy.

Hi. It's been awhile since my purchase and I gave it as a gift. From my understanding, it did not work with Windows 8. Hope this helps.

I had no problems loading it to a Win 8 computer. Did it a couple weeks ago.

I have win 8.1 64 and it took me an hour to figure out the software in question only runs on win XP! Luckily I have an old laptop with XP. I loaded the software on the laptop and the software works like a champ! Check with some friends to see if they are running XP and sweet talk them into loading the program for you. Then plug the display into their computer to program the reader board. I do not know of updated software for this fun device. Dave.
