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 It was one of several old outdated components that got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.
Cheers!
