Well here are the results. nada. They, for some odd reason, don't have a copy of C8.1.1.8, but are more then whilling to except screen caps of, or .cars with the issue.

Ya, right, DAZ is going to fix this issue with C8.1.1.12. So basically I got a "sorry charlie" from DAZ's sales and service. So off to other options.

First up, reinstalling C8.0 then reinstalling C8.1 over it. Then a fresh reinstall of C8.1 if that doesn't work. Then I may see about tapping another carraraest for his back up copy of C8.1.1.8. Don't care if DAZ doesn't like it, they had their chance.

But hey, you never know, DAZ's sales set up may glitch out again and I can get C8.5 at a resonable price.

One thing to note, this may very well be a windows 8 issue, I'm not on a testing team to have it verified.
