Thanks for the reply. I also run it well on an HP laptop. It's just on the desktop DELL XPS running Windows 8 Pro that I have this problem.

Sorry for the long delayed response. I'm logging in with my Microsoft account. Windows was installed over Windows 7 Ultra. Other Windows 9 games work fine. Adera is the only problem encountered with Windows 8.

I have Windows 8 Pro 64-bit installed on my Dell XPS with 12 MB RAM. I purchased Adera at the Microsoft store. The game installed but when I click Play the screen goes blank for a few seconds and then it returns to the Microsoft Menu. The game won't initialize. Am I alone with this failure?:upset:

I finally got up courage to reinstall Windows 8 on the Cell XPS computer again. This time all went extremely well. The keyboard problem was caused by the "Constant Guard service" from Comcast. This was removed before the W8 installation. Thanks to all for your help.

Thanks for the tip. I can't be certain now if that was the problem but I'll certainly check it out if I get the courage to install again :-) Thank you. John

After installing Windows 8 over Windows 7 on a Dell computer all worked well except for the Logitech wireless keyboard. When the shifted number keys were struck they printed an ASCII letter rather than their normal character. I substituted a USB keyboard with the same result. I have found no way...
