Autoit PixelGetColor not working - windows-8

Question

Hello there everyone,
I have recently downloaded a bot for a game that I play, this bot uses Autoit to automate movements on screen, alongside Autoit I downloaded some scripts that allow me to automate in-game movements. I downloaded these scripts on my main pc and my laptop so I can run them on 2 accounts if need be. The download is exactly the same and although the bot works perfectly on my PC, it does something weird on my laptop:
The cursor seems to be able to go to places I have specificly told it to go but once it needs to imagesearch or pixelsearch it simply stops. The program doesnt stop running and will continue performing the actions that it can perform, at the right timing, however all imagesearching functions get left out.
The only major diference between the pc and laptop is that the laptop is running windows 8.
Things Iv tried by searching prior to asking here:
I have read that imagesearch.dll should be in sysWOW64 in order for it to work and I beleive I have done that by copying the DLL files and pasting them in syswow64. That did not help.
I also tried adding #requireadmin to the top of the script which did not help either.
this is happening with ALL the scripts I downloaded. They all work on pc and none work on laptop. I dont have alot of understanding with this code as I did not write it myself. However I have familirized myself with it a little as I do edit it for my personal uses on my pc and make it work very well. So I thought that it not functioning on my laptop must be some amateur mistake about windows 8 or similar.
here is an example script.
#RequireAdmin
#include <Misc.au3>
HotKeySet("{[}", "MakeLock")
HotKeySet("{z}", "Start")
HotKeySet("{ESC}", "_Exit")
HotKeySet("{x}", "Shafts")

After watching exactly what it does and does not do, I can see that problem arrises with the section of code below it does everything up until; $line = GetLine()
$line = GetLine()
If IsArray($line) Then
Local $random2 = Random(200, 250, 1)
MouseMove($line[0], $line[1]+3*16-8, 5)
Sleep($random2-51)
MouseMove($line[0]+120, $line[1]+3*16-8, 5)
Sleep($random2+38)
MouseMove($line[0]+120, $line[1]+3*16-8+2*16, 5)
Sleep(500)
MouseMove($line[0]+200, $line[1]+3*16-8+2*16, 5)
Sleep($random2+161)
MouseMove($line[0]+200, $line[1]+3*16-8+2*16+44, 25)
Sleep($random2)
MouseClick("left")
EndIf
EndFunc
Any help would be appreciated. And although I am not familiar with code that much I do know how to use stack overflow well as my brother is a .net developer. I will mark the question that helps me and upvote and such.
Kind regards.

I know what your problem is.. I think. Try turning the output of PixelGetColor() into Hex.
Also, when it outputs, it doesnt include the "0x" at the beginning of the color tag.
So, you could say:
#Include <Misc.au3> ;for the _ispressed() function
Do
Until _IsPressed("01") ;wait for click
$mouse = MouseGetPos() ;Get cursor info
$color = Hex(PixelGetColor($mouse[0], $mouse[1]), 6) Get info on the pixel under the mouse.
;Lets just say the color is white
If $color == "FFFFFF" Then
MsgBox(0, "Success", "Colors match!")
EndIf
As for the ImageSearch not working, that could be a problem with AutoHotKey's compatability with Windows 8. Because of AutoIt not having a ImageSearch function, developers use AutoHotKey's ImageSearch function, and wrap it up in an AutoIt library. That may be where the problem is cominh
