Ask the Experts / 8cars not working on windows 8.1

Hey guys, I just got a laptop that runs windows 8.1 and am working on getting RCT back up and running and I went to start 8cars for the first time and it told me "you may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item" and then my Norton automatically does a scan on it and says its unsafe and deletes it. Just kind of wondering how I can access 8cars as I'm very new to windows 8.1.

Any help is appreciated. thanks guys. love you all.

According to Microsoft's support website(http://support.micro....com/kb/2669244) it is because your antivirus is blocking 8cars. Temporarily shut down Norton and try running it to see if Norton is causing the problem. If Norton is the problem I would also remove Norton and get another antivrus. 

i'll check that out. which one do you recommend? sorry my main pc I use to play RCT isn't connected to the internet and I have a MacBook for my primary laptop needs. Also...

where the hell are the screenshots saved too? some reason I can't find them. I know on windows vista you had to click compatibility files to find them but i'm not sure where they are on here. I don't like having to manually search the screen names to find them.

I think they go to Pictures in 8.1, not sure so don't quote me, it's been awhile since I took a screenshot.

To run trainers on 8.1 you need to change the compatibility, go to properties, compatibility, and select Windows XP service pack 2.  If you are still having trouble with your anti-virus I think you can go into the anti virus setting and select programs for the antivirus to ignore, but I am not 100% sure if Norton has that feature.

Now a big concert i have is i get an error for pulling up 8 cars per trainer after rct2 is up. Note it does not say "no process". Any clue as to how this can be solved?
