SHIII, SHIV, and CMDR all work perfectly on my Windows 8. There is nothing in the operating system that will prevent it from running.

I can't explain it then. I set it up exactly the same way I did with W7. it worked perfectly on 7. Doesn't work for me on 8.

Where in Windows 8 do I set my full Admin rights? I have made sure that I have full Admin rights on the SHIII folder, and GWX and Commander folders, but is there somewhere sneaky that I also need to set full Admin rights in 8?

Do you have for example a C and a D drive?

If so, put it in the D drive.

I just have a C Drive Jim, but I put the game in C:\Ubisoft\Silenthunter3. GWX and Commander are in different locations. When installing GWX, I select the SH3 root directory. That's correct isn't it?

Yes as far as I'm aware but I don't have W8 and am running GWX on W7 D drive.

I think there's some sneaky Admin setting in W8 somewhere. I just haven't found it yet.

Keep on it and send Irish a PM asking him his settings.
