Hi Damien, Oh, joy. That nixes it for sure. I don't even think Windows 8 comes with Com Audio. It was one of several old outdated components that got trashed along the way, and for good reason. I suppose I could try installing Com Audio, but I think we will have to put the LTI games on the incompatible list as they require several things that no longer exist on Windows.
