If it doesn’t, just click on the “ Run compatibility troubleshooter” button at the top of the Compatibility tab, and that’ll get it working. I’ve tested this on every Windows 10 box with SAI on it that I could find, with 100% success. Go to the Compatibility tab, then check the “Run this program in compatibility mode for:” checkbox and select “Windows Vista (Service Pack 2)”. Right click on the SAI program itself, then click on Properties. So there is a way, you just have to be tech savvy. It’ll be a real bummer to see anybody having to struggle with the loss of SAI because of a Windows upgrade that it’ll refuse to work on.Ĭryoganix people need your help! I have SAI and upgraded to Windows 10 they both work fine now after some tweaking.

If you use SAI as your main drawing program and wish to continue using it, then I strongly suggest you avoid upgrading to Windows 10 until somebody finds a way to get it to work on there. It seems Paint Tool SAI does not like Windows 10 at all, because when I tested it on the beta version of Win10, it wouldn’t run at all.

Check it out its great for mac!Ī PSA to all Paint Tool SAI users about Windows 10 Please download from the official FireAlpaca websites, because a friend of mine simply googled FireAlpaca and downloaded from some random site, and she got malware!
