Hi Richmond I know this might sound stupid but .....
Did you create a BRAND NEW stack within 8.1 and try that? Now if you opened it in 9 and it worked that still doesn't mean what I suggest won't work because these are computers we are working with. Sometimes they are not logical (because we don't have access to all the data - read extraneous crap - that they are reading from hidden crevices ). Just as a for instance I was trying to transfer a program of mine from windows to android - LC v6.7.11) it would not compile to a standalone try as i might. So I created a new stack cut and pasted everything and it worked - but it shouldn't have should it? Kindest Regards Lagi p.s. if that no worky re-install livecode and remove the preferences files (switch it off and on again of software!)
