I don’t know whether it will work on Winsdows 8, but type “Windows 8 compatibility mode” into Google and you will find links to Microsoft support on running software designed for older versions of Windows.

I use the version of TDS you have successfully on Windows 7 (32 bit) with Compatibility mode set to Windows XP SP3.

Hi paul if you have virtual box (which is free )and a copy of win 7 or an old copy of xp you can load win 7 or xp in virtual box then you can load the tds discs there if compatibility mode does not work.It’s a bit of messing about but would work if you can figure it out.Maybe someone else might have an easier option.

Re: Tds windows8

Thank you Stratfordgirl and Shaun67. Im afraid most of what you said went straight over my head.I am not that tech savy.I dont know or cant explain how i did it but I have managed to load it.The pages load ok but the diagrams need the disk installed to work.I can live with that as I dont use disk drive for anything else and disk can stay in there. Many thanks again.Paul

Great to hear from you again Shaun.
