Hi again @TheMegosh, it sounds like you did everything correctly when you did that uninstall/reinstall - although you can never rule out some registry thing causing problems!

Did you try running the x64 version in compatibility mode for Win 8 (or Win 7)?
Try to keep this thread visible and you will get a solution to your problem.
