Version 8 dropdown menus not visable

Stephen · 2 Dec 2014, 15:16

Good morning all. I posted this over at the corner bar before I found this forum, I think maybe this is a more appropriate place for it.
I have been a happy user of v8(something), but I thought I would look at the evaluation version v14. After downloading it, I couldn't seem to get out of it. Operator error likely.
Every time I tried to open my older version, 8.---, I was immediately tossed into the newer evaluation version.
I uninstalled it. Now, my older version,8.-- is acting wonky. I cannot edit styles, when I select the paint bucket, no choice of color selection drop down is available.
I suspect there may be more issues that I haven't come across yet.
I have attempted to reinstall v8, same probs.
It seems like the drop downs may be off screen and I can't find them.
Does anyone have any thoughts about this?
Should I just upgrade to 13,14,15? I really would prefer not to for various reasons.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I did speak with Igor from tech support(?) but he was only able to connect me to a link to download the older version that I had.
