Calvin .... as Dave mentions, Windows7/32 happily runs Libronix3. But have you considered upgrading to Logos4? It's free and reads your Libronix books as well. If you're interested we can help.
Apparently W8 is a bit of a disaster with Libronix3; the only other alternative is to install a virtual box to be able to run XP > Libronix. I do that with Windows7/64 and it runs nicely.

Yes ... I've 'heard' you say that, but how? Mark (I guess) can't run L3 on W7 period. Mine has redraw problems on W7/64 during a window resize. I've tried different strategies; Bradley says it's W7 and just force a redraw toggling the TOC. You've never had any W7/64 issues with L3?
EDIT: On my intro phrase are you recommending leave off the '32' part? (which IS an incorrect quoting of you). Just reluctant to 'go whole hog'.

L3 has installed on 64-bit W7 for at least one other user L3 is 32-bit and it will install into a 64-bit OS that also supports 32-bit. Logos 2 can't install because it is 16-bit software.

You have mentioned this before ... but (my) Libronix runs happily in 64-bit Win 7.
I have a computer that had L3 running under Vista and when I upgraded to W7 64-bit it still ran on that computer. I don't think I had to reload it, but if I did I had no problems doing so.
On two new computers where W7 64-bit was pre-installed I cannot get L3 to install. The error is the same as mentioned in another thread recently. The attempts to use the help available on the Logos web site for Libronix install problems got me nowhere.
This is off-topic for this thread, obviously.

There are also problems with Search dialogs - Bible Speed Search is the only one that seems to work. IE10 is the likely cause of these problems, so you will have to go back to Windows 7 as Libronix is no longer supported (and make sure you stay with IE9 and the IE9 Fix).

I just tested Libronix 3.0g on Windows 8 Release Preview (build 8400) with IE 10.0.8400.0 and didn't experience any issues with the Save Workspace or Search dialogs.
Which build of Windows 8 were you experiencing problems with? Could you post a screenshot of what's wrong?
I experienced the same problems with the Release Preview and the Enterprise Evaluation Build 9200 running in VirtualBox on Windows 7 Pro. I installed 3.0f from DVD and immediately updated to 3.0g, applied the IE9 Fix (still needed for menu boxes in Biblio, etc.) and copied my saved Documents and Preferences folders across.
Though selected, the WS name is not reflected in the Name box. Save is inactive even if you type a name.
Search boxes (Basic + Bible) accept input but the query performed is the Previous one. If you select a Previous query it is not reflected in the box but the search is performed.
Morphology is missing from Morphological Search.
Only Bible Speed Search works OK.
Input boxes do not work when creating a NEW document.

I'm not able to reproduce any of these problems on Windows 8 RP.
I'll look into it again when I get RTM.
I'm still not able to reproduce the reported problems on Windows 8 Pro RTM. I did find some other issues, though. For example, I was able to create a new Word List document, but all of the Edit > Add commands were disabled. And saving a workspace worked, but loading it just loaded empty windows.
Between these issues and the ones you found, I think it's safe to say that LDLS3 is not compatible with Windows 8.
Sadly, but perhaps not unexpectedly with a new IE.
