SQLServer 2014 Profiler on Windows 8

Hello,

I have SQLServer 2014 installed on my Windows 8 Lenovo laptop.

Everything seems to be working fine except the SQLServer Profiler option which fails to launch and generates the exception below in the event viewer.

Faulting application name: Profiler.exe, version: 2014.120.2000.8, time stamp: 0x5306c096

Faulting module name: combase.dll, version: 6.3.9600.17415, time stamp: 0x54503d84

Exception code: 0xc0000005

Fault offset: 0x00037ff3

Faulting process id: 0x5a4

Faulting application start time: 0x01d0c88923d8d699

Any ideas please?

Many thanks
