OK,
I see now, windows 7 old Spledid possible. Ok. Try this, Compare my Splendid to your version of spledid, and try to install MY 8.0/8.1 version onto your machine.
Anything windows-8 is win-7 compatible, no differance in win-8 except the UI changes as far as OS system goes, rest is just painted over windows-7.
Known Upgrade issues from old win-7/8 updates that MUST be removed that are known to prevent applications from installing properly found here.
Bah, i thought i had a quick link to the information about which ones to unistall, but i couldnt find it. Microsoft posted a list of updates that were supposed to be uninstalled before the upgrade happened, you may want to try finding that info, IF you havnt done a Full-Reset, delete Everything Kepp Nothing type reset yet.
If you already have done a Full-Reset Keep nothing type reset, don't worry about it
😉Asus is now shipping models with win-10 pre-installed so take a look for X555LE, i know for a fact it has the updated Splendid version, but mine should work/update when the win-10 version is applied.
To add some info i have now later had my experience with the new AMD driver sets can confirm that if the display drivers arn't working splendid will send a message about " Spledid can not open in this resolution" immediatly recognized my video driver install and worked. You Nvidia i think and there drivers are different and your problem could be a actual win-10 video driver problem preventing splendid from working. Me now knowing this would WANT splendid to at least work as intended before deciding on removing it/ not using it. Thats just My2Cents.
Link to latest news, click anyone of these models from ROG news feed, i checked they these will be NVidia models lineup, the AMD models havnt shipped with win-10 yet.
Your going to want these models driver-support for windows-8 and look through the utilites for them.
