NP skate! See if it shows up in the device manager in Windows if it's still not recognized after installing v8. Also make sure to follow this process:
1) Boot into windows with driver signing disabled.
2) Run installer and check that app/device are functional.
3) When you reboot, driver signing will be required again. However, the driver you installed should continue working.
4) If later a major Windows update is released (like a service pack), you may have to repeat this process.
If all else fails, try this on Windows 10 x64 if at all possible.
