I know most people get this error, and its an easy fix, but windows 8 did have a little issue with it. I recently installed the customer preview and have solved it for any one else who may have this problem. The installer software for this dll, when you Google, puts it into the wrong directory, so download it from here:

http://www.ziddu.com/download/15829320/msvcr100dll.rar.html

and press "windows key + R"

type:
C:\windows\system

and place it in there. if you still have an issue saying this dll is not suported with windows goto:

C:\windows\system32

Find the msvcr100.dll and move it to your desktop - then test simba.

if all goes well delete the .dll that you moved to the desktop.

Hope this helps somebody.

For x64 versions, it has to go in SYSWOW64 folder.. so C:/Windows/SysWOW64. I'm also on Windows 8.

No it isn't bad.. Take it from someone using it. You have to get used to it. Anyone who doesn't like change isn't going to like it. There is no start menu BUT to replace that, u type what u want and it will find it.

It's faster than windows 7 by a hell of a lot.. I'd say the Windows key is the most useful as that's how you access your startmenu..

Its not awful, but its worth a go, it does run faster but you really need to give it some time to grow on you:
