window 8 and Zeus

Until recently I have been able to open Zeus as normal on my Window8 machine. Within the last week it will not open. The hour glass spins a few times and then goes away.
I downloaded 3.97s to see if that would solve the problem, but it didn't.
I removed Zeus from my computer and then reinstalled a fresh copy, but it still won't open.
Any suggestions?

So what changed
Any suggestions?
When you start Zeus can you see the zeus.exe in the task manager
Try deleting the Zeus.ini file which should be here:
Code: Select all
C:\Users\<user name>\AppData\Roaming\Xidicone\Zeus
Try a full re-install but before running the install rename this Zeus folder:
Code: Select all
C:\Users\<user name>\AppData\Roaming\Xidicone\Zeus

I have the same problem. When I install Zeus there are no errors occur. When I try to run Zeusedit, I get an hourglass for a couple of seconds and then nothing.
I have checked all the folders listed in this topic and they are all there. I have tried running as administrator and nothing.
I am not a first time user and have had years of experience with Zeus, but with this version it just is not running. I worked fine after I upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 8 and then quit working.
I have completely uninstalled the program and all the files and then reinstalled it, but it still did not run.

Does the
Program Compatibility Assistant utility report any issues
More debug suggestions can also be found here:

I have tried all the compatibility setting with no success.
I have a 32" monitor running @2560x1600 resolution. Would this have any affect on running the program?

I don't see why this would be the case.
Did you change to that monitor and only after that notice Zeus did not work
As I posted in my first reply to this issue, what has changed
If Zeus was running and then stopped running something must have changed.
Was there a Windows update
Was some virus software installed
etc. etc.
The big question is what is it that has changed
Also are you too running the
Zeus 3.97s version

Just a quick update. When I updated my Window 8 OS to Windows 8.1, everything works again. Must have been something in one of the windows updates that was causing a problem.
