Oh, that's sad, but I guess it had to be expected at some point. The madCodeHook 2.x version (which the evaluation is still based on) was written when even Windows 7 didn't exist yet, so I guess it was supposed to break at some point with newer OSs. Unfortunately I don't have a madCodeHook 3.x evaluation version ready at this point in time. It's difficult to create an evaluation version which is fully functional, but at the same time can't be hacked to work unlimited.

I guess you may have to test the evaluation version on Windows 7. Of course the official 3.x version fully supports Windows 8.1. You could try the madCodeHook 3.x demos to double check compatability with Windows 8.1:
