On 7 on my old system I have disabled all security passwords, uac etc
and am running in 32 bit but I do know on my dad's system with
windows 7 7 that with everything ultra secured for his work I have
to remember when updating system files or stuff I want to run it
through the secured admin with the 2 passwords for both accounts
before it works.
Mostly once something is done its done, but especially with older
software some stuff is quite hard to do.

Hi.
I am running it on windows 8.1 on two different computers, a 64 bit
Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro and a 32 bit Asus T100 tablet. It's best to
install Monkey Term itself, and MTScripts, both in your documents
folder, so saying you would open your documents folder, then open
the monkeyTerm folder and there would be all your mt stuff. This is
because MT doesn't know how to deal with admin limitations on new
windows version (vista and up). There are ways to get around that,
but it's much simpler to tell people to put it in a different folder
where their account has full write access. I'm not so sure this is
something only MT has a problem with, because when I installed mush
Z a while back it also went into my documents folder, and If memory
serves me right, I wasn't the one who chose to put it there meaning
I didn't pick that destination during the install process.
I have to tell people to install Monkey Term separately from
MTScripts, and to make sure they put it where it needs to be
manually by selecting the location to install in during the install
process, because MT isn't portable so I can't just wrap it up in my
own installer, at least not without knowing more about this stuff than I do.
That said, if it does get installed in documents, so far it looks to
me like it's quite nearly completely trouble free. It needs Visual
c++ runtime 2005 redist 32 bit, even on 64 bit computers, but It's
been a long time since I had a computer that didn't come with it
already installed, and that includes my Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro and my
T100 which I bought just a few months ago. Sometimes MT crashes and
needs to be restarted, but it's nothing that I didn't see on Windows
7 and it only happens maybe once a month. So yes it runs ok on
modern computers. I don't know how much longer it will run, but I'm
going to stick with it until I can't run it anymore, because I've
put so much work into it I just don't want to waste it all by giving
up on it now. When there does come a time I can't run it, I expect
I'll switch to another client and port MTScripts to it, laboriously.
I just like MT for how simple it is and how open it is to being made
complicated while still maintaining a very consistent and stripped
down interface.
There's some discussion about notepad being awfully simple as word
processors go in relation to coding in BGT with it. Think of a
notepad window that you can add all the hotkeys you can think of to
it, all the aliases you can think of, all the actions, add more
windows to it, make it's status bar say what you want it to say.
Adjust options in it's own menu bar from the document window, etc.
That's the way MT feels from someone who messes with it the way I
do. It's really powerful in some slightly different attitudes than
other clients. Although, at the same time, it most definitely is
antiquated, no longer in development, written in a very old
language, slower than other clients at processing hundreds of
commands, and it's remaining life is something we can't really know
until we install it on the next windows OS. So said, this is one
reason I like Microsoft, since in spite of their starting and
dropping support for stuff left and right, they do still seem to be
happy allowing you to run really old software written languages
they no longer support. MT has been out of development for more than 10 years.

To my knowledge there are people using MT on windows 8.1. And I

Steven,
Monkey term supports cyber assault, and one of the game's admins was
working on a sound pack for it. You can download the client and I
believe the sound pack at http://valiant8086.com it's under games,
under muds iirc. Good luck.
