Hi...

Yes several people are using Win8, it should work.
Some people using AMD Radeon graphics card had problems running the game, see link below, for a solution for AMD Radeon users:
http://www.coursedownloads.com/forum/posts.asp?post=10042&forum=11

For all users,Follow steps below:
On desktop you should have TW08 program icon.
This is how you can get the TW08 icon on your desktop:
Go to the bin folder in TW08, see path below:
C:\Program Files (x86)\EA Sports\Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 08\bin

Now inside the bin folder right click the TW08.exe icon, and in list choose: Copy to...and choose: Desktop
Now you will have the Tw08 icon on your desktop.

1.
On your desktop, right-click the TW08 icon and choose Properties.

2.
When the Properties dialog box appears, click the Compatibility tab and then click the Run Compatibility Troubleshooter button.

In its robotic way, Windows 8 tries to guess what version of Windows your program needs, and then it applies the changes. If the program begins working, youre through.

If the program still has trouble, though, move to Step 3.

3.
In the Compatibility Mode section, select the Run This Program in Compatibility Mode For check box and select XP from the drop-down list.

4.Click OK and then try running TW08 again to see whether it works better. ( It is possible you have to restart your PC before it works )
Important note: When you do the compatibility thing, it is possible your system will say it will not work in compatibility mode, but just finish it and restart your PC and it will work !!!!

When you are using TWCaddie08 to install courses:
On desktop right click the TWCaddie08 icon.....choose: Properties....compatibility...and check box: Run as administrator...and click: Apply

Option: When you don t have the icon on your desktop, you can also go to: C:\Program Files\CourseDownloads.com\TW Caddie 08 - Vista 64
And you can do the administrator thing on the TWCaddie08 icon you will find there.

Important note: When you do the compatibility thing, it is possible your system will say it will not work in compatibility mode, but just finish it and restart your PC and it will work !!!!

Also be sure to use the correct version of TWCaddie08 ( 32bit or 64bit )

How can you find out you have a 32 bit or 64 bit system:

First of all you have to go to your control panel in Win8:
On your desktop on bottom left corner click the Start icon.
This will bring you to the start screen.
Now on your keyboard just type the text: Control panel
Now on top right side side just below the typing box you will see the results it found for: Control panel.
Now click the result on top and you will go in the control panel.

1.Touch or click on System and Security within Control Panel.

Note: You wont see a System and Security link in Control Panel if your view is set to either Large icons or Small icons. If so, find System and touch or click on it, then skip to Step 3.


2.With the System and Security window now open, click or touch System.


3.With the System applet now open, titled View basic information about your computer, find the System area, located under the large Windows 8 logo.

The System type will say either 64-bit Operating System or 32-bit Operating System.

When you found out go to TWCaddie08 download page on link below:

On that page you will see 2 download links:

when you have win8 32bit.... download this one:
