Seems to be fine on a fresh install of Windows 8. Will leave open, in case someone finds the source of the problem.

Yeah, already get it set up in my brand new win8, thx.

it's all about the OS, my original Win 7 is Windows NT 6.0000, and my lab colleague's PC is equipped with NT 6.0001, and works run on his, that's probably why I change to WIn8
