Image Composer won't save, following Win8.1

Post by simonmlewis »

Hi

I have been using Microsoft Image Composer for many years. I know it inside out.
I use it as a kind of backup, when other more advanced software is just being a pain. Plus, IC is often way quicker at doing things.

It worked in Windows 8, but since the upgrade to 8.1 this morning I get the following errors when I save something.

Anyone know what this all means?

Yeah I did try that. Uninstalled. Restarted. REinstalled. In all honesty I'm quite upset about it, as I have known and used IC since the very beginning of me starting in "web" work. I know it inside out, back to front. REALLY need it working.

Next thing to try would be compatibility mode. Shift + right-click the program, hit "Troubleshoot compatibility".

My friend, you are wonderful!
Works. It does it now as Win XP. Which is odd, as it worked in Vista, XP, 7 and 8. But it works.

Thank you so much. Case closed!

Huh. I think that's the second, maybe third time I've seen compatibility mode work. Rarely ever fixes things for me :(
