I was getting the 4 blue dots endlessly moving around the otherwise blank activation window. Like one other person said, I tried putting it into Windows 7 compatibility mode, and that fixed the issue. This is a programmer error plain and simple. The program needs to be fixed. I'm a programmer, and this looks like bad software to me. If I wrote a program and told people you can't use it because of a Microsoft error, I'd never get paid. Notice how every other program you use works without changing the screen resolution or needing some BS compatibility mode change.
