SmallBasic.EXE has Trouble Running

Question
-
Hello all~
I have tried to install Small Basic upwards of 5 times and even used the "Repair" option a few times. However, the problem persists.
What happens is: I open the .EXE file and the GUI loads, but within seconds I get the dialog, "SmallBasic.EXE has stopped working."
I am running Windows 8. Funny thing is: SB worked fine when I first upgraded my system.
Is there any type of work-around or something I can do to make it work again?
Please answer ASAP; all suggestions will be appreciated :P
Thank you

I can write 1000 lines of code in roughly 10 seconds. Here's how:
i = 1
For i = 1 to 1000
TextWindow.WriteLine(i+ ". Code")
Program.Delay(10)
EndFor

Well, when i first downloaded small basic, i remeber having to Silverlight and microsoft.net thingie i think... maybe you could try completly deleting small basic(silverlight and all) then download it again.
Sorry if i don't help, i am a newbie to computers and small basic practically.
Oh, you could also try this link i found, if it still works.
1] http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?5him3nh9eau42q5 - simple SB compiled executable - tests .Net (copy to a folder and run the exe).
2] http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?xen15db1890w6hj - full copy of installation directory, it might run from this, indicating just something odd about the installer and your setup.
i found these on a different post on here. hope you don't mind.

Thanks 8BiT PoNy,
I will try those out!
I can write 1000 lines of code in roughly 10 seconds. Here's how:
i = 1
For i = 1 to 1000
TextWindow.WriteLine(i+ ". Code")
Program.Delay(10)
EndFor

The full directory works! I wonder what the problem must be, then. I think I will compare the files and see if there's something missing.

Okay, it seems like there were backups (where the first character of the names were replaced with a '$') so I deleted them and now it works like a charm!
Thank you for suggesting the full directory download, 8BiT PoNy! It helped me troubleshoot!

Even a little bit is a big help!
Sure, it's a small step, but as soon as you get more comfortable with the software and such, you will be helping lots of people!
