Pc downloads stalling in windows 8.1






















Latest News: UK government transport website caught showing porn. Posted 20 March - PM. Okay, this is getting annoying. My old laptop died. I had to get a new one. Quite against my will, I was forced into Windows 8. Not my favorite thing after abysmal experiences with Win 7. I've got a ton of graphics programs like Paint Shop Pro X not the newest, but not ancient either.

I need them for my art. When I try to install them on Win 8, they get to "registering modules" and then stop responding.

The installer stays running in the background even after I close it out giving me an "error " if I try to install anything after that.

If I kill those off I can try to install things again, but the installer still freezes up at registering modules. When I start the install, it does not give me any compatability messages.

Does anyone know a way to work around this so I can get my graphics programs installed correctly? Posted 22 March - AM.

But nothing I've got on disk so far will complete the install sequence. It's quite frustrating as I need these programs on my latop to speed up my art workload.
