installing CD3 on Win8

HelenAA

I've just bought CD3 and it doesn't work at all.

I've installed CD3 and I've not got the buttons [see below] and I've not been able to install the bitmaps at all. I'm trying to install the CC3+ version now, but am not hopeful because EVERY TIME I install anything I get the error message 75 run-time thing.

What's wrong? I'm installing as Admin, by the way.

There is no reason CD3 shouldn't work under Win 8, I have installed it under that several times. Have you tried re-running the latest update (Update 11 for CC3) after installing CD3?
If that doesn't work, I recommend you contact ProFantasy Tech Support directly, they'll probably be able to help you better with issues like this.

I have, Monsen, but I haven't had any luck.

I'll contact Tech Supp as you suggest.

Monsen

Do that. They're usually quick to respond (at least weekdays, and remember they are based in Europe) and good at helping out with technical problems.

I had upgraded to 8.1 by the time I put CD3 on this laptop. The patch from 8 to 8.1 did fix a number of problems with Win 8. So I don't kow what effect that could have on your try to install CD3.

I'm on 8.1 - I think! Still trying to get my head around it.

I have Classic Shell installed and set it to go to Desktop when I log in. I don't like the app window.
