Windows 8 doesn't play nicely with Kies. Is there a fix or an update? I don't have a Windows 7 computer anymore.

Are you using the latest version of Kies?
I pretty sure I am.
Did you try it in compatibility mode with XP SP3?
Still not working.
Try this then. Go to C:/Program Files/Samsung/Kies
and find the "Kies.exe.config". Open it with NotePad and find the line:
<supportedRuntime version="v4.0" />
Highlight it and delete it. Save the file with NotePad. Then try Kies again.
Also give this a try too. Go back into the directory I outlined above and delete these lines:
<supportedRuntime version="v4.0" />
<supportedRuntime version="v2.0.50727" />
Press save with NotePad. Try Kies.
THANKS! this worked perfect for me. It wouldnt save the file thru notepad, so i had to save to desktop and then copy over and give admin approval to do so. (but I'm on a domain, so thats probably why)
