Well, seems there are more people with this problem, a fix should be to run an
older windows version in a virtual environment.
My wife has some antique laptop with vista, and FLIP runs on that like a charm.
Will keep you posted.

Well, solved the problem by loading a virtual machine.
It simply means running another version of windows on your system.
I installed XP, since i don't need network access for this job.
Seems this is a common issue for windows 8 users 64bit.
Running a virtual machine is child's play, see this link. hope this helps
people experiencing the same issue.

Hmm, I'm running Windows 8.1 on my Macbook Air, and I'm not able to reproduce
this - Try uninstalling FLIP, then downloading the FLIP version that comes with
an RTE included? I didn't have Java on my machine before, so I had to get the
version packaged with the RTE, and it's at least loading up on my machine....

Did that, no luck i'm afraid...
I have 2 pc's running Win8.1, bot did not run Flip.
I just post a solution hat worked for me, hoping to help people experiencing
issues.
