windows 8 and sct tuner
Had zero issue when running an older version of windows. Laptop crashed and now I am stuck with this crap of windows 8. Attempted to to transfer tune on the sct tuner and can not get it to recognize the drivers. I've tried unistall and install the updater then try to install tuner. Nothing. I've attempted to manual search for drivers under the device manager and it tells me that it is unable to locate drivers.
Screw you microsoft and screw you the developers of 8.
Anyone know of any additional ways to get this thing up and working

IT would be nice if SCT had a direct link to drivers on their website. But I guess that would be too easy. Or at least be open on Saturdays considering , it seems that most people run into these BS problems then.

I only install it every once in a while, but it seems like I have problems each time. I don't know what else to tell you, other than uninstall it and try again. It takes several tries, but mine eventually installs correctly.

I lost use of several MS products (and others) with 8 that I freaking PAID FOR!!
If I see Bill Gates, I'm swinging for the fences! You got rich dip**** from selling crap that doesn't work - and stealing from us that paid for Relicensing Upgrades for years!

I give up. I've tried unistalling close to 10 times. I've tried on another laptop also running win8.. Same thing. I've turned off all security settings. It just is not finding any drivers on the device or when auto searching. Too bad I don't have admin access to my work laptop. At least it is still running win 7

I think it's pathetic that the SCT tuners don't work with Apple computers. Also, Windows 8 is the worst operating system ever made. I'm so glad I don't own a PC.

Why would you hit Gates? He's been off inventing toilets and had nothing to do with Win8. Besides, he has the same opinion of Windows 8 as you: http://www.newyorker.com/online/blog...indows-81.html
I'm a little concerned to hear that the SCT tuner has a problem under Win8 as it's my next purchase. Has anyone gotten it to work under Win8?

Yeah, you should be hitting Balmer. I've been using Win8 for awhile now on my laptop and I just stay in desktop mode. It's works OK for me.

Also, Cdynaco got banned for that ??????? Is Gates a forum member or something

Classicshell is your friend. Have you tried running the software in compatibility mode? http://www.classicshell.net/gallery/...enu/screenshot

On the compatibility mode. I went into the control panel-all programs-and searched for the tuner but I was not able to access the device manager to click on the usb device. That and I have no idea of what I am doing.
