Windows 8 VMware issues?

I just rebuilt my system with ubuntu and am running a windows VM for just 2 apps I couldn't live without! Usenetexplorer is of course one of them :)

This is actually an older version of UE that I was running under Win7 before the upgrade.
Now I'm in windows 8 under vmware. It's currently unable to start and I'm just wondering if anyone's run into this - maybe I'm just missing a library or something? Any help is much appreciated. Thanks.

I've tried it in Windows7 compatibility mode, as well as running as administrator.

Running a registered 3.1.1.0 version of UE.

Ah shoot, I was just looking at release notes since 3.1.1 to see if I wanted to just upgrade (seems like latest version trial works)...
and I saw this:
- Fixed Windows 8 compatibility with 64 bit version

So I'm guessing that's the problem. I guess it's upgrade time.
