Win 8.1, minion wont run

[CyanCrystalshear]

I seem to be having an issue when I try to start Minion I get the problem loading JVM.DLL screen then Failed to launch JVM. I have read over your other Threads and saw a fix of a missing C++. MY question is when I go to windows site to get that file it doesn't list windows 8.1 as being compatible?

Anyone successfully run minion on 8.1 yet?
if so what do I need to do?
sorry only had this OS a week and I'm really not liking its chunkiness!!
