3COM TFTP Control Panel Applet Windows 8

Hello I'm trying to setup a laptop runnig Windows 8 that has the abiltiy to ghost machines using the cast server program and I would like that laptop to also be able to boot the computers to PXE. I found the instructions on how to set up a ghost PXE server using 3COM on another thread, but for some reason the 3COM TFTP Control Panel Applet won't open. It's giving me an error message saying that it failed to establish a connection with the service manager and the next line says that the 3COM TFTP service might not be installed. I installed the 3COM software on a random Window 7 machine at my job and it worked fine.

Please Help
