I just bought Chess King 3, but I'm not sure it will install on Windows 8.1. Should I keep or return it?

It loads and works fine on 5.0. Very good program for a newbie like me and should be good for those more experience. If you have a problem you can have 8.1 run it like and older version of window. Enjoy

I tried the game on windows 8, it works well depending on the computer. A bit hard to control at first but fun when you know how to work everything.

The program I bought does not include the Deep Fritz multiprocessor engine. I wish I knew where the best place to buy Deep Fritz would be (price-wise, I mean). You could try a site specifically dedicated to this brand of chess programs. If such a site doesn't exist, you could try any number of stores such as Chess House, TheChessStore, etc. I hope this has been helpful to you. Take care.--Mark

There is a Games for Windows Live update that Microsoft has available on their website. After installing the game Windows 8.1 gave me a dialog box that said there was a known comparability issue and provided the link to the download within the dialog.

Go to the website (chess-king.com) and from the main page scroll down about 3/4 of the page and you will see a ("Latest Products" ) link on the right. Click on it and it will give you step by step instructions. You will have different options so read it carefully and chose the option which is best for you. In fact you can skip Houdini 2 and even upgrade to the newest version (3.0). I hope this helps!

Absolutely. I am using a brand new high end PC that came with Windows 8. It is now running Windows 8.1. Google "can I run it?" and check the web site that comes up. It scans your PC and you can find out if your rig can play it or not. Best, enjoy!

If it's on Steam, it should support the platforms specified. You can check all other games by going to the Steam Store page and check. But yes, it is supported on Windows 8.1.

I can tell you it doesn't work on a Windows 8 computer. Crashes halfway through every game. Good luck on Windows 7 though.

I'm using Windows 8.1 and it works great. You won't be able to stay on the game with CTRL/Tab, but if you save and restart every time you stop playing it will do fine.

Without a hitch. :) I had this game on 360 and loved it now it's all I ever play on my Windows 8.1 build.

The game will run on Windows 8 , but we suggest to install the latest iWin Games Game manager before installing this disk.Please see this link : http://support.iwin.com/link/portal/5400/5419/Article/497/How-can-I-reinstall-the-iWin-Games-ManagerLook for the section in the paragraph where it says " To reinstall the manager, click here to get started"Note - When you install this manager please pay close attention to the options as the installer contains optional toolbars and search page changes. Uncheck them if you don't want them.

I don't know. Usually the older software will work on newer Windows. If it says it will work on Windows on the spec, you'll PROBABLY be OK. It's a fun game! Good luck!

Should be. I run it on Windows 8.1 with no problems, and 8.1 has more issues with gaming than 7 did in my experience.

John, yesterday MS released 8.1 and I got the upgrade. Make sure your version of minecraft or any other game app can support 8.1. I do know this quad-core GW has never stalled opending up numerous apps, more business intensive apps, such as Quick Books, MS Access, and several open web apps. I personally have not had any stalling or jitter. I was even running a Netflix movie while working on several other business apps. I doubt that you will have any issues. I know that many run minecraft on slower dual core processors with no problems. Again, verify that your game apps truly are Windows 8.1 supported. The PC is windows 8, but the upgrade to windows 8.1 was released yesterday AM. John, yesterday MS released 8.1 and I got the upgrade.

I installed it on a computer windows 8.1, 64-bit yesterday. It seems to be working correctly.

No, but make sure you have no higher than a Windows 7. Windows 8 or 8.1 will not install the game. Have a great day!

I have been seeing a lot of PC Games having this issue playing on Windows 8.1 because they have been configured to play on windows 7,and 8. 8.1 was a free add on for people to customize windows 8 to look and feel like windows 7. You can go to WWW.Microsoft.com/windows8 to uninstall the 8.1 add on so you can have windows 8.0 again. I recommend this until we see games compatable for windows 8.1
