Much appreciated.
And if you set it to Windows XP SP1, SP2 or SP3 Compatibility mode?

I don't have Windows 8 personally myself, but I remember that those that did get it to work made this specific difference.

Otherwise maybe the colordepth is the issue. When it is running in windowed mode it hase been picky about that. See if you can set the colordepth of your desktop to 16 bit colors, or 8-bit/256 colors.
