1329688	2013-02-23 23:45:00	Can I get around the issue of running games that work fine on XP so they can run on Windows 8. I can get some to work but others just either won't start or they open then freeze.	karbren (14078)
1329689	2013-02-23 23:51:00	A lot of things dont work with Win8 at the mo.. There's meant to be some update for it (and win7) next Wednesday. I dont know what it is, but I think IE10 for Win7 maybe one of them. I think MS released Win8 too soon, and its full of bugs (KB2778344 an update from this mth is one of them). According to one site this may cause (or has for at least 50-60 people) a stop error 0x0000003b if you install it. What games dont install or work?	Speedy Gonzales (78)

1329691	2013-02-24 00:02:00	You may have to wait and see if MS bring out any updates that fix program compatibility problems.	Speedy Gonzales (78)
1329692	2013-02-24 00:07:00	Thanks I will wait with anticipation then....	karbren (14078)
1329693	2013-02-24 00:11:00	It may take a while tho lol	Speedy Gonzales (78)

1329696	2013-02-25 09:53:00	MS Office 2003 doesn't work with W8? I'm surprised, even with their own product!	bk T (215)
1329697	2013-02-25 10:23:00	... Microsoft Office 2003 is also a casualty.Well my version - MS Office Pro Edition 2003 (11.6568.6568) SP2 works perfectly in Windows 8 Pro x64 (6.2.9200).	Scubadoo (16151)
