I am running windows 8.1 and was wondering if anyone knew how to access the search engine in this OS. I can open individual issues, but don't know ho

I don't know about Windows 8.1 or know why it would be different than anything else. On my old XP machine, I just follow the single-sheet instructions that came with the DVD. Launch the Start.pdf file at the DVD's root directory and Acrobat (mine is Adobe Reader XI) shows you covers of the issues gathered in decades or years. Do an Edit/Advanced Search and be sure you're searching the file MAD1.pdx file and tell it what you're looking for. I tried "put*on" and after spinning the disc a few times it brought up the parody of the movie Patton in the Jan 1971 issue. Surprisingly, the index seems to include words that are in the (hand-drawn) cartoons which means some poor guy had to manually type all those in. When I tried just the Find, I didn't get anything useful. I can't imagine what would be different if you were using Win8.1. Do your search from within the Adobe program, not some Windows search (which may not break through compressions, crypto, or encodings - I don't know). [P.S. All of your question didn't come through, ended with "but didn't know ho"]

I haven't upgraded to windows 8.1 yet, so I'm not sure how to solve that issue. Sorry.

I couldn't find any...It may be built in to windows 7 buy now.... I would try another one because of win8 platform and the lack of support for the older ones. Ive stopped using mine because it caused freezing and lock ups.

I did not get the Windows 8.1 as several people I talked to said they had some difficulty with it. All of the PC's at my company have Windows 7 installed and my unit does as well. All operate without difficulty and easy to operate.

I am sorry but I am not able to answer that question because I do not have Windows 8.1. I have Windows 7 and it works perfectly.

I was very disappointed in Platinum V6 and had to go back to my old PM 18.1 in order to open my old files. I was in a bind: Had a new 8.1 computer that wouldn't recognize or accept my years of designs from many programs and wouldn't let me install my older programs so actually bought a new Windows 7 pro and installed all my old programs. I think the "cloud" is the technology of the future but what about our files of the past and present? I now have two computers. Dumb, but no options. FYI, I am 84.

When I check the system applet, windows 8.1 is displayed as the operating system, rather than windows 8.1 pro. So it's either home or "standard", assuming there is such a thing.

I'm running Windows 8.1 on mine and it works great. Also, you might want to try Windows 10 technical preview.

Microsoft has an "upgrade" that is free - Windows 8.1. It makes the W8 a bit more like W7, but not entirely. W8/8.1 takes some getting used to but it isn't too bad. If you get a touch screen laptop (this one is not touch screen) it might be a bit easier to get accustom to.

Windows 8.1 -- which takes some getting used to. Tries to download a host of unwanted programs - like Optimizer and Reg-cure. A pain to get rid of them

When I purchased this unit, Windows 8.1 is the OS. Takes a bit of getting use to but works OK.

hello, yes, I had updated on line awhile back, it took all night, was slow only because of our connection here in the forest. The update was free. But, it was worth it, definitely had some improvements that helped me with using WINDOWS 8 system.

I used the ( downloaded) manual from Internet, however when I put Windows 8.1 on my laptop recently it did not work anymore as it did before using Windows 8. Contacted IOGEAR and they wrote me they are working on a solution to let it run on Windos 8.1 as well, to be expected in March. Succes and if you have any futher questions please do not hesistate.

I think I shall try Windows 8 or 8.1 if the computer had indeed been updated to 8.1... Try before switching... All the research I've done said that it wasn't too bad... Thanks!

I have loaded it on a computer with Windows 8.1 & it seems to run fine. I am in the process of moving data from one PC to the new one, so I can't say for certain just yet that the process will be successful. But so far, as for loading it & running the program, it seems to work fine.

Window 8 then there is a free 3 hour upgrade to Win 8.1. It works way better and has better shortcuts to apps and system functions. Hope that helped.

I'm not sure of what you're asking. What the {#HEYNOW#} do you think the Surface RT is running Windows 8.1 RT for? Fun? What the {#HEYNOW#} do you think 8.1 RT is for? Ripping people off? It's the ONLY way that Windows 8.1 can run on a tablet! Why would you ask such a question? Do we think that there's a "Special" plan by Microsoft to rip people off? SHEESH!
