So I'm sure some of you have been upgrading to Windows 10 because it's fresh and new and NOT WINDOWS 8!! lol. But more of you have not been upgrading because of things like my previous journal where Paint Tool Sai does not work. Well, i've done some research and thanks to a commenter on a Youtube video, I found this easy fix to get Paint Tool Sai working 100%! (and give more people a reason to upgrade to Windows 10) (Upgrade... do it... 10 is best! 
)
Lets start with my desktop.
As you can see I have Sai highlighted because it didn't work when i tried to open it. As a matter of fact, NOTHING happened.
So right click on the icon either on your desktop or start menu. the taskbar icon only wants you to remove it from the taskbar so don't try it there.
Click on Troubleshoot Compatibility and let it detect what's wrong.
It will ask you to try the recommended settings or troubleshoot. click try.
(Yes my background changed, i have a rotating background) Next you will click Test the program and if everything worked as it should, Paint Tool Sai will open. If not, go back to troubleshoot and follow the on screen instructions.
Click Next and it will ask you to save the settings. Click Yes, save these settings for this program. And you're all done! (It will bring up one additional window, but you can click close or close this troubleshooter.)
If you have any further issues I will not be able to help much since this worked for me. If you have any issues try to troubleshoot them. However, If you do have issues you can't seem to fix, you can note me what's wrong and I can try to give some support.
Welcome to Windows 10, the last Windows you'll ever need, now with a working Paint Tool Sai
Update 2-10-18: Thank you everyone for getting the word out and sharing this journal. However I have been getting a few comments of late about Sai 2.0. Unfortunately I personally have not as of writing this used Sai 2.0. So this guide is meant for Sai 1.0 Full and... borrowed.... versions. IF you are having issues with Sai 2.0 I can try and troubleshoot the issue with you but as I said I have no experience with the program.
Additionally from the program creator's website they have stated this software is not complete and is in beta form. This means there will be bugs most likely at every step of using the software. For more information please visit their website:
www.systemax.jp/en/sai/
Also, this program is widely used on Deviant Art, but I see a lot of people trying to use cracked versions. If you really want the creators of this software to keep making it and keep it updated with newer versions, and maybe even make MAC or Linux ports, then please BUY the program.
Hope this helps!!!!

Time keeps on Slippin' Slippin' Slippin...
6 mo' months and still nothing. My current desk environment doesn't really allow for drawing creativity. Also, to draw I'd havta borrow Marushi's tablet, and she's using it most of the time so i'll just stick at what I'm best at for now, editing videos.
Working on our YouTube and Twitch channels have been taking up all of my time and energy, so on top of not having a drawing tablet, lack of time to stop and draw has been part of it.
I'd really like to draw again, but that requires taking the time to do it.
Eh well, I may not be active here but you guys can always find my current works over at Youtube and Twitch with the below links:

Whoa... Where'd the Time Go?
Wow guys, I can't believe it's been 6 months since I last posted a journal. Then again, I did kinda go on an unannounced hiatus. Hiatus from everything really. I've not made a YouTube vid in a few months too.
I burned guys... I burned hard.
That's right, I overworked myself into exhaustion.
Going to work all night, then coming home and working some more on YouTube vids, then going to work all night. it was basically 16 hours of work and I was only getting paid for 8. Least the 8 of pay is actually nice.
Oh and in all this time, still not gotten my promotion. I'm close though. I'll be joining my first meeting today, as I've started my "tri
Happy New Year Everyone!
Happy New Year guys!
I tried to draw something... it sucked... I haven't drawn since April 2018 and I could tell. It felt like trying to ride a bike after not having done so in years. Wobbly, un-balanced. If I start actually drawing again... it's gonna look like shit and may take a few to get back to where I was :(
That aside, hope you guys are enjoying 2019! Hopefully my promotion will go through in the next week or so, then I WILL be enjoying 2019 lol.
Laterz,
Ractrin
Moving...
That's a multi-meaning word right now. I'm moving houses, moving shifts, and hopefully moving up!
Hey everyone, been months eh? Well I'm still alive despite my Youtube and Deviant Art having gone silent. One of my friends has been needing a ride to work every night, and he lives 25 - 30 miles from me... so needless to say I haven't had much time to do things.
BUT!
That will hopefully change soon. I will be going back to Overnights soon and also I'm moving to a temporary house as well. It's temporary because it's a place I will be staying until the house I currently live in can be torn down and the land sold.
So with me being on overnights
