Anyone have any issues with KiCad on Windows 8.1? I have tried the compatibility mode for 8, 7, Vista, and XP and none work. It will load and when I click on new to start a new project it lets me put in a name for the file. I then click OK and it crashes there everytime.
I've had that problem, I never really resolved it directly : I duplicated an existing project, deleted everything but the .pro .sch and -cache.lib, opened it, and deleted everything out of the schematic... then just continued from there.
If you rename all of the files, it should find them all and be ok after that.
ie: rename regack.pro, regack.sch, regack-cache.lib to melvang.pro, melvang.sch, melvang-cache.lib
