Hey Elikem Kuivi can you post a screenshot or copy and paste the error you're getting? What does it say when it doesn't work?

The problem was an ExecJS Error saying there was a syntax error in line six of the application.js file, even though I did not edit the application.js file. I googled ways to solve the problem and it turns out its a problem with windows 8. The suggested ways to solve the error was to (1)delete the phrase "\ require tree" in the application.js file, or (2) install node.js to the pc, or (3) go to the runtimes.rb file and in the part where JScript is declared, delete the "\U" in the "command" part, and change the 'UTF-16LE' to 'UTF-8' in the ":encoding" part. I did (1), and then did (3), and then put back "\ require tree" in the application.js file. The error was fixed after that.

For the future you only need to delete the require tree" in the application.js to get it working.
