Windows 8.1 will not work regardless of the the patches and file editing tweaks. No one has addressed this issue to any degree. So what can I do?

Windows 7 pro, Linux OS in "windows emulator mode", or gamble on Windows 10. If none of that works, then wait for it to be on sale on steam, I bought FA3 on disc an later again on steam because it runs a bit smoother since there is no disc spinning an they made it more multi-core processor friendly, same thing as the multi-core fix, just updated.

The download works. I can't say the same for 8.1. But the download will run as well as anything can on that version of Windows.

No problems whatsoever on Windows 8.1 64-bit here. Worked fine before the upgrade as well.

I do not have Windows 8 or 8.1 yet. It is possible one version might work differently than the other.

It seems to work fine with Windows 8.1. When I originally installed I only had Windows 8.0 but after the update I experienced 0 issues with compatibility.

I have Windows 8.1 and it works great. Windows found the drivers and installed them without the need for intervention.

Hi Pamela, It doesn't have the 8.1 version of Windows included. You will still need to download the 8.1 update. Microsoft provides the updates here. Its super easy but extra work. http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/update-from-windows-8-tutorial I hope that helps

You're not providing complete information. It's impossible for me to answer this question. What program exactly is telling you to "enable" Windows 8? Better yet, why on earth did you leave garbage like Windows 8 installed on this lovely laptop? ;) If you can give me some actual context, I might be able to help you more. Off the top of my head, it may be the deadline to update from 8 to 8.1 - but I don't use Windows 8 so I can't really confirm that. I need complete information.

I have been seeing a lot of PC Games having this issue playing on Windows 8.1 because they have been configured to play on windows 7,and 8. 8.1 was a free add on for people to customize windows 8 to look and feel like windows 7. You can go to WWW.Microsoft.com/windows8 to uninstall the 8.1 add on so you can have windows 8.0 again. I recommend this until we see games compatable for windows 8.1

Yes, I have windows 8.1 and it works just fine...but I did have to look on YouTube in order to learn how to install it correctly since it is a little different then the instructions it come with for older forms of windows, but still really really simple and it works great

I was having many issues with Printshop on Windows 8.1 after the update. I could not get it running after many e-mails back and forth with Printshop support. I gave up after awhile. I recently tried installing Printshop 3.5 Deluxe after more recent updates to both the Printshop program and Windows 8.1 and now it works fine. Of course, both of them will probably say it was the other program causing the issues.

I don't know about win 8.1 but I had a terrible experience with this product in general. 2 defective units with different hardware issues.

I just installed it on a windows 8.1 machine. It gave me an error the first time, I just re installed and it worked. Have not created a document with it yet as I don't have anything on there to print with yet.
