How to get windows 8 to let me upload sounds and textures

[Zakzero Firehawk]

I recently just got a new computer, with windows 8, i use singularity viewer, as i did on my old computer that had windows 7, i make walkers, dancers, and gestures and can seem to not upload anything. All i get when i go to upload is the little loading symbol, can anyone help me with this? would be much appreciated

Hello,

do you have iTunes or Skydrive installed?

If so, try if it works when you uninstall them. There is a workaround for Skydrive (tested in Windows 7) by removing some registry entries:

1) Start regedit (start -> run -> type “regedit” -> hit enter)
2) Navigate to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\explorer\ShellIconOverlayIdentifiers
3) In the left panel you should see 3 SkyDrive keys (1, 2 and 3) as shown here in attached image

4) Delete all 3 of them
5) Reboot
6) Enjoy both Skydrive and Second Life working at the same time

This patch by Latif Khalifa in the JIRA is a great help. If you are daring enough to try it, do. It has worked for may people we suggested it to.
