I tried the compatibility mode and Microsoft calls the program incompatible.l I tried a Restore and the earliest date I had was Oct 30 and that wouldn’t restore for some reason. So, I think this calls for a complete restore of the operating system. I have what is called a restore on a flash drive and there is a system partition on the harddrive. I would like if someone could point me to written directions on the process before I jump off the deep end. Thanks to everyone for the ideas.

Ancestral Quest is compatible with Legacy PAF files and runs fine on Win 8.1.

Fred,
In your answer to the question you said, “Yes, Windows 8 is 100 percent mouseable — though I find it clumsy to use that way.”

Fred, I was a little disappointed in your response. You didn’t mention the benefits of Win8 such as better use of memory, faster boots, and supposedly better security. I use Win8 on all my systems (couldn’t pass up the $40 upgrade), all non-touch, and use Classic Shell to have the computer boot right to the desktop with a start button. My boot takes 21 seconds and was 16 seconds before I added Google Drive. I run all my software from Win7 with no problems.

Note: I still run Win7 and XP on Virtual Box so I can help people with those systems, as far as menu locations, etc.
