First, like Unabara said, you should disable Win8.1's touchscreen keyboard, if you have a touchscreen.
Then, when the game fails to start, it should leave behind a log file like th155.exe.log, which contains the paths of the suspect files. Since the previous tool th145launch.exe is ineffective on AoCF, your only current solution is to find and rename these files.
After renaming the files, you may find that only th155_log.exe works. This is actually because th155_log.exe forces you to run it with Administrator privilege. If you encounter an error about "Hoke" when running th155.exe, try running it as an Admin.
