I have Family Tree Maker 2012. (Upgrade to the 2014 version ? What a great idea ! Ooops - sorry - you live in Australia - you cant !).
When I now run FTM 2012 with Windows 8.1, to download an AMT tree into FTM - Tree Sync Off - the process takes so long that Windows 8.1 sees that as a problem - and continually throws up a Script Error message. Both during the download & the Gedcom import. Have to continually attend to the error message to allow process to complete.
Yes - have advised Support.
UPDATE 23 JAN 2014.
The response from Ancestry Support showed that they didnt understand the issue, or had not had to address it before.
The solution is to STOP the script when the error message comes up. In that way - the download from Ancestry to FTM 2012 will complete as before. If you allow the script to contnue - the error messages will continue - and the download / tree creation process will hang at completion.
This was with Windows 8.1 Pro 64 bit edition.
No such problem was encountered with Windows 8.
