Windows 8 - Program Has Stopped Working - Incompatible Program

My vb.net software wont work on windows 8 :blush:

I'm running windows 8 x64 on a virtual machine

When i open the program, it crashes and a message pops up "myprogram has stopped working"

I've tried running it under compatability mode (win 7, vista, xp) and with running it as an administrator but it wont load up

I've looked in the eventmgr but cant find any errors unless i'm looking in the wrong place?

I've ran the program compatibility troubleshooter and the results show "incompatible program detected"

Any ideas on how i can debug this?
