Help with openBVE for Windows 8...
« on: March 31, 2013, 12:38:16 pm »
I recently upgraded my laptop from Windows 7 to Windows 8. I installed openBVE and ran the program. When I tried to run the A, this happened...



Does anyone know why this may have happened and how I can fix it? I have tried re-installing the route, with no sort of progress. I have a Compaq Presario CQ62 with an AMD V120 2.2GHz Processor and 2GB of RAM.

Thanks,
Jashawn

Did you try running it as an admin? OpenBVE can't run on 8 unless you do that.
I'm a generic teenager with no life. I also make RPG games.

You may also need to reinstall the dependencies, but be sure to run openBVE as an admin
