Another version of the beta is on the ground.
Aparently, the DAZ forum states that the final version of 8.1 will be out soon.

thanks for the information, Kixum.
are there any info about what did change?
I own Carrara 8- pro but I wasn't able to get it to run on neither my XP nor my Vista (yeah, I know) machine, while C7-pro runs properly (more or less) on both.

The best way to see what's going on is to actually go to the DAZ thread in the Carrara forum. You don't have to have an account with DAZ either (at least I don't think so) to read.
Go to the DAZ site.
www.daz3d.com
Click on the "Community" link at the top.
Hold your mouse over the "Forum" link and let it expand to see the topics. Then click on Carrara.
Then select the Carrara 8.1 beta build is out thread thingamathingama.
There's a list of all the bug fixes and stuff.
In terms of getting C8 to run on your system, I don't think they've upgraded C8 in ways that would fix that (not sure though as I'm not a C developer). Your issue sounds different than the bug fixes they're working on (guessing though).
Since I have no idea what your situation is (how you installed, system, etc., and since I'm not a C developer), I don't know how to help. I can only think of two ideas and there are lots of other people here in the forum who can help.
First, start a new thread here describing your problem.
Second, contact DAZ and see what they have to say.
My gut reaction is to COMPLETELY remove C8 from your system and try again with the latest version.

thanks for the info.
I'll have a look at DAZ. Maybe I can find something helpful there.
though... I have my doubts :)
I can't even cascade the issues down to something I could describe. C8 is just crashing. Either with the start-up window, or after a 30minutes session in the assembly room, or just when I'm saving a file, or when I move something in a scene from A to B....
I cannot replicate what happens when, so ...
This:

is probably the best I can do up to now :)
Or I just stay with C7, which runs perfectly smooth without really very few hick-ups
