Hey is there a possible way of getting Pokerstars to install on Windows 8? I've searched without any luck , have tried compatability modes but nothing seems to be working.
I've just got my new notebook and it is the first time I am working with windows 8. I could not install it either. No matter what I did it would tell me 'this app cannot run on your pc please contact the software provider'. Then I've got it! My main setting have been on Germany (I am from Switzerland - german part) and Germany is not an accepted country for .com software anymore (they have to use .eu-software). Changed the country and it worked out perfectly fine =)!
Followed these steps from Stars, which solved things.
Quote:
* Open up the classic control panel, and select the System and Security link.
* Now select the Action Center option.
* Once you are in the Action Center expand the security list, and scroll down looking for the Windows SmartScreen option. Once you have found it click the change settings link.
* You will most likely be prompted by UAC to enter your password, now you can totally turn off the SmartScreen Filter.
Everything was working fine for me, but I just closed out of stars for the first time in like a week and now when I try to relaunch stars it snap closes. Goes to Contacting site.... for 1 second then snap closes. Can anyone help me out with this? I ****ing hate windows 8
nevermind I fixed it. I had to turn OFF "Run program as Administrator"
