Quartus II compatibility with Windows 8

[Altera_Forum]

Hello all, 

 I am an amateur programmer who has recently started learning VHDL. I have downloaded and installed the Quatus II Free Web Edition from Altera's website. Just for starters I tried to implement and simulate a simple Half Adder. The code compiled without any issues however, when I run a Functional Simulation on the code in order to obtain a waveform diagram, a small window opens and closes immediately and there is no change to the output line.   However, when run on a windows 7 machine, it worked fine. Is there some compatibility issue of Quartus 2 with windows 8? Or are there any particular settings to be tweaked?   Any help is highly appreciated.  My apologies if I sound too much like a novice.   Thanks in advance,

Wich software do you use for simulation?

IIRC, the current Quartus II version is still not "OFFICIALLY" compatible with Windows 8.

if you're using ModelSim-Altera Starter Edition, see if you can launch it stand alone
