Max 3.1 in Win XP: will it work?

[EricChadwick]

Should be OK. XP is just NT at its core I think.

Might as well also upgrade to Max 4.2 or 5.1??

Manboy, best thing is to simply install 3.1 on your XP machine and hope for the best. I can't see a problem, tho'. However, there could be an issue with cDilla or was it an HWL?- I can't remember. Idf it's cDilla you may need to get the update. If it's HWL you may need to contact discreet.

Now, if there is a problem with MAX itself then a backdoor way of getting it to run is installing Max via Compatibility Mode. If you need instructions on how to do that just holler.

Good luck!:thumbsup:

Signal to Nose is most likely correct, if you need to update your sentinal drivers for a hardware dongle (if I am correct) the link is:

ftp://anonftp.rainbow.com/support/SSD5411-32bit.exe

and if you need to update the C-Dilla RTS drivers you can get them from:

http://adeskftp.autodesk.com/prodsupp/downloads/RTS_3_27_000.exe

From my personal experience I have found that compatibilty mode usally does not do anything. If you have a resolvable issue you can probably find a resolution at

http://www.discreet.com/support/max

or contact support , but good luck on any support once you tell them your OS.

Any way good luck.

Thanks for your help guys, I'll see how it goes. And yeah, Hugo, would if I could. :shrug:
