Paint Tool SAI problem

[kasane]

The one time that I actually want to try and draw something...
My Paint Tool SAI does not load //cries//

I have Windows 8 and it's pinned to the taskbar at the bottom. I click on the SAI button, wait for a few seconds but it never loads. Instead, when I click on it, the button fades (if that makes sense).

Does anyone have a solution to this?

Or is there a legitimate, non-virus invading, full, cracked version of SAI that someone can provide me?

;v; I'm so sorry that's happening!
I wish I could help! I bought mine in like 2011, so I don't know much about cracked versions of it!

Good luck!

Ah, no worries! ^^
It's so weird, though. SAI has been working perfectly for me the last time that I used it (roughly one month ago I think?).

I got my laptop changed to SDD (laptop has been sanic fast lmao) last year, but I was still able to open up SAI last month normally. It's so weird...

usually when this happens for me, it's because there's a program i have running that conflicts with sai. for example, sometimes i can't open sai if i have vlc open first, or i can't open vlc if i have sai open first.

what i do is open up task manager and make sure there aren't any instances of sai running in the backgrounds. if there are, i close them. then i hard close everything else through task manager (I.E firefox, vlc, music, etc.) then try to open sai. if nothing doesn't pop up, i just restart my entire computer and when it's finished booting up, sai is the first program i open before opening anything else.

I restarted my computer and tried to open it up again. Still no success :c

I've just deleted it anyways so I'm gonna try and find the link I used to download it with

Ripped copy >_<

Actually, I moved it to a different folder and for a split second it worked. But then the program crashed and I couldn't open it again ;-;
