hi

some temporary help for you Gerry

1. Laptop or Desktop?

2. Did you shutdown and restart system after install?

3. Did you download and activate the demo? uninstall the demo and restart before downloading and installing the  paid  version?

4.  newest graphics drivers for your Intel chipset? ( I think believe that AMD or NVidia) chipsets are more powerful

 

Cheers

3. Not the demo, downloaded from link to my download page.

4. Didn't download drivers, unless windows update did.

Restarted this time after install. Works now, Thank you GigaByte69.

As a heads up I would strongly advise against using any OS compatibility modes for installing the apps as some apps have very different versions depending on the OS they are being installed on.
