Will Not Run in Win 8.1 x64

Hello,
I have an unusual problem. I am very familiar with this little program and love using it. Have done so for several years now. I recently installed in on my re-formatted Win 8.1 x64 desktop. Ran fine until I rebooted. Now I can not get it to run at all. Doesn't matter if I use right-click or just try to run executable. Even tried running as admin straight from the installation folder. Uninstalled and reinstalled twice. No change. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Not so unusual. I also have the same problem. :evil:
I have also tried installing both 32 & 64 bit versions directly from the website but get the same error.
I am sure it is a Windows 8.1 issue as it worked fine under Windows 8.0.
Windows 8.1 is to be dropped but not until 2015.
This is a great application that I use in many ways. :D
I hope the problem signature below helps in some way.

Same for me. I'm running the x64 portable version via Liberkey on windows 8.1.
If I start the exe, it shows up as a 'background process' in task manager and is using about 220Mb of memory under details. No matter what I do, it won't actually show up as an 'App', just seems to run as a background process.
Fingers crossed this can be solved as it's a great app for renaming TV shows and photos.
Cheers, pptk

Scratch that. I just installed the x64 'install' version (i.e. NOT portable) from the BRU.co.uk download page and it works fine.

Scratch that again - the installed version has stopped working now.
Concerning as I use this software a lot.

Update - it opens, but only about half and hour to an hour later! Very odd.

Is anyone else still experiencing this issue like I am?? Have you found a solution or a workaround? I love this utility but will be forced to use something else if this isn't fixed SOON. It works fine on our Win 7 computers, but Windows 8.1 seems to hate it. :(

Finally we think we found the issue that is causing this in Win 8.1 and we will be posting a new version this week. thanks

32-bit : http://bulkrenameutility.co.uk/Downloads/2.7.1.3/BRU_Setup_WinNTx86.exe
64-bit : http://bulkrenameutility.co.uk/Downloads/2.7.1.3/BRU_Setup_WinNTx64.exe
No-Installer files: http://bulkrenameutility.co.uk/Downloads/2.7.1.3/BRU_NoInstall.zip

I recently installed 2.7.1.3 via BRU_Setup_WinNTx64.exe. I am running Win 8.1. I can start up BRU just fine, but no matter what folder I navigate to, BRU refuses to load and display a files list. What am I doing wrong? What diagnostic information do you need?

Thanks,
Dave Cole

Same here under Windows 7 x64 !

X86 versions (install & portable) work OK in Windows 7 x64
x64 versions do not work at all - the program simply stops working once I select a folder to work with
