I installed Windows 8, 32 bit PREVIEW version on one of my laptops last night,

It runs Stars just fine, here's the info.

A. I just when to the Microsoft "Windows 8 Release Preview" and pressed "Get it Now". Which takes you to download page, you don't need to enter a e-mail address, just press "Download Windows 8 Release Preview" and ran the Upgrade Assistant. I don't remember it asking me what version to install so you may have to do something different.

B. After installing it, I moved the mouse to the upper right corner of the screen and a menu came up and I clicked on "Search" and typed in "16-bit" and clicked on Settings to get the results "16-Bit Application Support". And turned it on.

C. I then installed DropBox, since all my Stars! files are there and then just ran Stars.exe.

That's it, Full screen and no problems so far. I will be testing the other programs later to see how they work but right now I have a Tee Time.

Edit:I'm having a problem getting AutoHost Client to work, it's can't seem to get out.
