Win 8 doesn't like 32 bit programs. The first thing I found is that they have to be in the registry to run at startup.
I have a shortcut bar on my desktop that has a bunch of buttons that launch programs like a regular shortcut does. I just ran into a problem with one of the programs I had on the bar was taking a long time to start so I tried starting the program directly and it worked fine; the bar was in compatibility mode XP SP3. I took the bar out of compatibility mode and the program launched perfectly.
Another issue is that I have Task Manager loaded into one of the bar's buttons and it will not start unless the bar is in XP SP3 mode.
What we need here is a BUG forum that MS needs to watch...
