Windows 8 implies also IE 10, and the combination appears incompatible with many computers, notably higher end laptops with hybrid graphics. Complicating that, Millennia's code in Legacy appears less robust than most, so Legacy may fail where other programs using the same hardware don't. Microsoft, which evidently didn't test their new OS and web browser against existing and reasonably common hardware, are blowing this off by denying responsibility and stating that they will make no changes - it's up to the hardware makers to write and distribute new drivers. If you continue to have trouble and can't get help here, contact me direct. Meanwhile, make sure that you have saved all important data, outside your computer, in case any testing leaves it in a state where the operating system has to be re-installed, wiping out all data on your hard drive.

I now have windows 8. I had trouble importing my ged and have had to manually add my last years work. I didn’t follow instructions for downloading but at the moment haven’t found any errors. I didn’t alter the UAC to never notify and the instructions don’t say if it must be left at that setting. I don’t understand if that setting can be just for legacy or means that all programs are set at that and if so is that wise? Should I continue in the hope all is well or do a clean reinstall ?
