Problem with Dragon 25.0.2.0 and Windows 8

Yep, but the problem is that quite a few apps have links to help files onlines, so not being able to use CD as the default browser is an issue

I have been getting the same error message on windows 8 trying to launch CD from the task bar, if i unpin the icon then repin it from the start menu, it will work one time, then i get the message again.

I would like to add i have both windows 7 and windows 8 machines, and it is only on the windows 8 machine, the icon in the start menu works fine launching every time, as well as the icon in the widget for sandboxing, it will launch no problem, it is only the task bar icon i keep getting the error with. Hope this helps narrow it down…

I have the same issue in Win8 taskbar. Dragon will not stay pinned in the taskbar. I get the same warning about the “class is not registered” error.

I instead went to the exe file for Dragon, and changed the properties to run in “win7 compatibility mode”. That seems to have solved the issue for me. It’s been performing fine launching it from the taskbar since doing that, probably 40 instances or so back.

Thanks … :-TU

Hi DGant,
Glad to hear that you have found a workaround for the issue.

Have you tried the current release?

Thanks.
