Anyone have issues with this and Windows 8.1? Software won't load for me.

I have been using Spyder4Express on my laptop under Windows 8.1 without any issues. I had a bunch of issues with Windows 8.1 itself right after upgrading from 8.0 (due to a corrupted user profile), but no issues with the Datacolor product. Check their web site to make sure you have the latest driver if you have not already done so.

The only issue I have had, and it's really the way it should be is that you can't calibrate if you have any imaging software open, this includes windows photo viewing programs.

No problem with windows 8.1 here. Working fine.Anyway, the provided software is really basic and for me did not provide best calibration, had the impression of a green cast. I think the software does not do white balance correctly on this express version.I strongly recommend using argyl with dispcalgui - more complicated to setup but transforms the express into an elite and the calibration is spot on. (it does take at least 1 hour to calibrate, takes hundreds of measurements)

Yes! I found a way to make it work but now I don't remember what I did. I need to recalubrate too. So annoying.

8.1 crashes unexpectedly. Not even the computer geeks know why, yet. fyi. Might want to wait till that gets fixed

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

Yes, I had windows 8 and it worked fine. Then I upgraded to windows 8.1 and it still works the same, no problems.

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.

Can't get it working on Windows 8.1, even with plugging in both USB cables (some ppl said it might be a power issue, but that doesn't appear to be the case).Like Paul P, I'm also in tech (about 14 years of software engineering) and can't get it working.

I have Vista and had no problem with it finding the correct driver. Might try searching for a driver that will work with 8.1. Or try contacting the company??

I run windows 8.1 without issue just pop in the driver disk and do the automated install.

I think I shall try Windows 8 or 8.1 if the computer had indeed been updated to 8.1... Try before switching... All the research I've done said that it wasn't too bad... Thanks!

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.

Your not the first person to ask that, I have tried everything and windows 8 just won't let you use the software. Looks like I will have to contact microsoft.

It works fine for me with Windows 8. The worst part for me was updating the software that came with it.

Bob, I am running it with Windows 8.0 without any problems. I hav not upgraded to 8.1 so can't answer to that. Rick

I simply ran the HP update software, and Windows 8.1 loaded without any additional problem (there was no need for the "key"). Have you tried going to the Microsoft Windows update page and see if you can do it directly from there?

It does NOT work for me. I have 8.1 windows. I don't know how anyone else has gotten it to work
