When i install the free version of Dark basic its running fine. Program loading and compiling no problem. But when i update with version 7.61 i got a warning that the program is running in compatebilety mode and need to shut down. But there is no where any type of program is running in compatebilety mode.

BUT when i install the original CD and update withe 7.61 then its no problem. The only thing is that the Editor is the old type. I can't run the new editor. that one wil give an error on starting up.

Games is live so to live do the games

Yes it's a known problem and there are several discussions in the forum about it, you can use only old editors in Windows 8 (and maybe 7 I don't know).

For example I do use a 2008 version of the editor on my Windows 8.1

I'm fairly sure that isn't true. I use the latest official editor (version 23 June 2010) without problems on Windows 7 - and John Y posted an update to the editor a few months back which allows it to work with Windows 8 (although I have no personal experience with that).

Yes I am aware of Synergy, I don't like it because folding functions are bugged (if I don't remember wrong). I use a lot folding functions so it's unusable for me.

About the 2010 version it works too probably but if I am not wrong folding functions is bugged there too, or it had another bug that is the reason why I went back to the 2008 one.

To me the 2008 one is the one that works better, it has bugs too but fewer than the Others (on large projects the compile and run buttons get stuck after compiling the project, so I have to restart the editor)
