Windows 8 and Nikon View NX2

My son got a Nikon D3200 for his birthday. It came with Nikon View NX2 software, which is incompatible with Windows 8.
I told him about us "Hogs" and he will be joining in tomorrow after work and Little League games. (Remember those days).
Anyone else experience this?
I have a D5000 & a D7000, but never used the Nikon Transfer or View. I used Picasa, and six months ago bought PS6, which I am still trying to learn. Going from PC with Vista to a Macbook Pro with Retina Display, so I can take the laptop to PS6 classes.
Greatly appreciate any and all help.
Duane

Hi: I got a D3200 for Christmas and had the same problem with the software included in the package. I came to UH and asked for help. It was recommended to me by a very helpful member, to go to Nikon directly and get their latest download version. Nikon finally got the update for W8 done and I was able to download successfully. Hope this helps you. Paying it forward! MLD

Hi Bear2 I use windows 8 and have no problem using the program, Go to the Nikon web site (support and downloads) and download the latest version of Nikon view make sure it’s for the right operating system 32 or 64 bit, this is probably your problem.

Did you have him go to the Nikon web site to see if they had a compatible version of the Nikon View NX2 software?

Bear, I bought Nikon NX2 and I run it with Windows 7. The program is buggier than Maine in June. I went to the Nikon USA website and downloaded the latest revision and all is well now. It still has a few hiccups but nothing I can work around. I found that I really like the software because it is dedicated to photos only.
