You have to create a 'S8' directory right under C:\ and copy all files on the CD then you'll be able to run it
If you don't do so the software won't be able to create a user file and then stop running

I too have the S8, are you running it through a real serial port or some kind of converter (cardbus or usb).
Have you had any luck updating the software issue?
