I hope can solve it

Because Windows 8 is not release, there is no support for it. Install 7 again
I realy dont knwo why people isntall beta versions of an OS an a live system. DOnt you all know that there is virtualisation?

In fact, I installed the msdn version of windows 8 (RTM) Fortunately, I have another computer is windows 7, Thanks for your answer but I'm looking forward to the future as soon as possible support for windows 8！

Windows 8 is a hell if you ask me, I'd rather have Noggit work properly on windows 7 (Which it does at the moment, not perfect but good enough) than have it broken on 7 & 8.

Windows 8 is a perfect example of why model editing tools need to run on stuff other than Windows too, haha.

Windows 8 is a perfect example of why model editing tools need to run on stuff other than Windows too, haha.

Which would be true if there was a decent tutorial about modeling in the first place - for Blender for example.

And I am talking about introduction, not "how something is done".

ALso its windows. Only every second version is useable. And i whould not count on that it will ever run on 8. If i dont find a good replacement for startmenu that feels like win 7 i wont install it.

Good program, but I didn't care for it, personally.

Also, this info is just a tad old.  I've been Noggiting on windows 8 x64 since about a month before public release (MSDN FTW).  Not a single issue with it aside from one small hiccup where I had to install drivers from nVidia, not microsoft; but you should really do that anyway.  the Microsoft provided drivers don't have OpenGL support.

Noggit SDL1.2 works fine on win8 64. I have tested now as i had excess to an isntallation

Noggit SDL 1.2 performs better on my Windows 8 x64 than it does on my Windows 7 x64. However my Win8 is very lacking in the graphics department and I can hardly run Noggit anymore because of that. So I've switched back to Windows 7. Less crashing and freezes. Thank goodness. I don't recommend Windows 8 for WoW modding.
