I am running it on an old computer in the garage with Win 2K. Is there functionality I am missing? It seems to work fine!Some of the programs in the suite need functions from Windows that were only available starting with XP. For example, you may have problems starting or running the Visualizer.You are more than welcome to install and try to run the suite on unsupported platforms. Unfortunately, if you have a support issue with one, we won't be able to help you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my projects since upgrading has been to do some swapping to get an XP machine to run the show. I definately will not run the visualizer on the show box though. I'm now wondering if it's worth a little effort to see if the shows will run on it or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LOR Staff Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 It's your decision if you want to test it or not. Me personally? If the company is telling me it's not supported then I would be testing it heavily for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Hamilton Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 To clarify what I am doing...I do all of my show development work on Win7... creating sequences, etc.I only RUN the shows from an older Win2K computer and all has run fine. Just for giggles, I tried running the visualizer on the W2K computer and it ran fine... I understand about minimum supported computers. If I have trouble, I will upgrade to Win 7 at that time, yet as long as everything is working on the OS, you know the ole adage, "If it ain't broke....:-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LOR Staff Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 Sounds good to me. Just remember: If it works, great. If it doesn't there isn't much we can do for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyT Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 Mike - I hear ya, believe me! And to be honest with you, I think I would spend considerably less time in moving the two computers, getting the software switched around and getting them both running then I would to get that machine going to a point to where I feel comfortable about the show running trouble free throughout the season.And let me take this opportunity to tell you that I not only appreciate your efforts following the SW release, but am incredibly impressed with your level of recent commitment supporting the software and now Brian's efforts as well.Thank You sir!
