Ok thx all, ill go and try it all again.

I did find that the bullet after checking it again it did in fact work with win7 compatibility mode tho set just like the alien monsters movement etc my mistake oops. Also Ill check out the videos and examples.

Ive only just started using construct 2 and from what I can see, it does not seam to be windows 8 compatable as yet? Would i be correct?

ie: Im trying to run though the examples for beginners tutorial and even early on, after putting in the aliens monsters and adding the bullet event for them which moves them in one direction, if i leave the program in win 8 mode, they dont move at all, but as soon as i right click the construct 2 icon and click change for compatability to win7 they move across the screen when i click play.

Another thing, i found odd and may not be working so far in win 8, when you put in the spawn bullet from players ship event, it shows the bullet when mouse clicked but does not move anywhere? ive double checked the example numerous times and can fathom why its not moving, again is this just windows 8, this tho does not make any difference whether i use win7 compatablility or win8?

I wonder if other people have had these problems. Im not sure what else may not work because of windows8? I also notice that on the download icons from construct 2 it shows, only upto windows7, and i cant find anything that shows it is written for windows8 at this time, however i have found some posts relating to windows8, but its more about people testing things etc seeing what works is construct still in dev win8?

thx
