Hello all,

This is my first post here so hopefully I'm putting it in the right spot. :)

I tried downloading P3 on my new laptop tonight, which has Windows 8. I keep getting an error when I try to run the program. Has anyone else had the same problem and have any advice? If worse comes to worse I'll call tech support, but I know I can't be the only person using Win8. :)

Thanks so much!
Liz

I figured it out... I was trying to download using Chrome. It worked like a charm when I downloaded thru IE.
 
Thankis! Glad you figured it out. Your post will probably help someone else.
 
There aren't very many browsers that work with pampered chef at all. I can't even get most of the site features to work with Opera. Firefox isn't a problem at all.

Welcome to the community! Sorry to hear that you're having trouble with P3 on your new laptop. I haven't personally encountered this issue, but I did some research and found that there have been a few reported cases of P3 not running on Windows 8.

They are trained to help with any technical issues and will be able to guide you through the troubleshooting process. I hope everything gets sorted out soon so you can start using P3 on your new laptop. Let me know if you need any further assistance.
