Windows 8 compatibility

Unfortunately had to get a new laptop, and it has winnows 8 :-(

I have the touch screen unit and use it to analyze data on my wife's Austin Healey Vintage Race Car.

Loaded RaceChrono ontO the new laptop, but it it has all kinds of problems, and hangs up. Not surprised really, and I understand how low a priority this is, but is it something you are aware of, and is an upgrade planned in the future? Fortunately I can still run everything on my desktop :-) but I like to download data at the track and view it on my laptop, bigger screen size makes it a lot easier!

How about trying the Android version in an BlueStack emulator? JCS666 reported in another thread that this works fine, an attached this screenshot:

The emulator can be found here

And here's how to import your Windows/Symbian sessions to Android

Edit: apparently getting Play Store and Google Maps on to the emulator is a bit tricky...

Any idea where to put sessions so they are available when you run BlueStack then RaceChrono "inside" BlueStack?
I have sessions on my Android phone that I would like to view in BluStack on my PC

Thank you

Here is my way.
Install BlueStack and then the apps Racechrono, a Folder Manager (Astro) and Dropbox. Then you need to push the Session into Dropbox. And now you can open the session with the Foldermanager and save it into Racechrono. Done!
