Can't insert table in MathCad

When i right click -> Insert -> Table, NOTHING happens. Nothing at all. Also nothing when i use the Insert -> Data -> table. This happens whether i open a blank document or in the middle of a document.

I'm running Mathcad 15.0 (M010 [MC15_M010_20110622]) on Windows 8.1 with my schools license. I have tried compatibility mode for Windows 7, XPSP2 and XPSP3 and i have tried administration rights. My classmates can it to work though. (they run same MathCad but differnet Windows (not 8.1)). I have tried reinstalling mathcad several times. Nothing changes.
I should mention that under the installation there is around 15 error messages that i can not get around (have to click ignore) because i have windows 8 and Mathcad does not support newer OS.

How can i fix this without installing different Windows?

Are you working in a text region, as I think it does not allow you to insert with that region, but should work outside though..

You are beating a dead horse 😉

 
 

The thread is more than 7 years old and it can be assumed that the questioner has already solved his problem in the meantime or is no longer interested.

@LucMeekes 

I guess you answered to a SPAM posting which I reported and which was deleted in the meantime 😉

 

It happens from time to time here that a SPAM posting is placed with a text that looks innocent or even appropriate on first sight. Usually there is a SPAM link at the end of that kind postings which is often only added later after a while (maybe to trick any kind of moderation).

In case of the posting you answered to, the text was copied from here:

Yep, guess you're right. The link already looked suspicious.
