I've now tested too, using both the 32-bit Windows snapshot and the 64-bit version, on 64-bit Windows 8, in both English and German. I can't provoke any problem with GARCH (or anything else). Sven, your account of that "error dialog window" looks extremely odd, in that none of the messages have anything to do with GARCH estimation (and in fact they're probably all benign anyway). I think your installation must be borked. But if a delete-and-reinstall doesn't fix things, please post a screen shot of the response you're getting.
