I've tried about 50 times and it worked about 3 times, but that's just because the program stopped saying Windows 7 wasn't supported.

I find it pointless to use windows 8 on any machine that doesn't have a touch screen but even then, the annoying quirks are still there. I find it ridiculous that Microsoft didn't add in a big IF.

Code:

if(system.input != touchscreen){
EnableTiles(0);
}else{
EnableTiles(1);
}
