Hauptwerk 4 running on Vista SP2?

PostSun Jan 31, 2016 2:15 pm

I'm looking at building a new computer, but in the meantime am thinking about trying to upgrade my Vista machine to HW4. I had purchased the upgrade and updated my dongle to 4 when it came out, but never tried to install it because of previous problems the machine gave me upgrading within the same version (3). Now I'm wondering though if HW 4 will run on Vista?

Thanks,
Eric

You need to check that the version of Vista you are using will support the amount of RAM you have installed.
I ran Hauptwerk 4 on Vista Home Premium 64 bit, with 16 Gigs of RAM.

Graham,

You're right about the memory, I didn't think how much HW4 would use out of the (only) 8 GB I have in the old machine. The MB and Vista will handle 16 GB, but the DDR2 memory is so expensive now it's not worth upgrading.

We don't officially support Windows Vista any longer, see http://www.hauptwerk.com/support for the current list of supported operating systems. It may work and it may not, you can try at your own risk!

Thanks for the warning Brett. Maybe I'd better just leave well enough alone. I may end up with nothing to play until I get a new machine built. What prompted it was that I was wanting to try one of Jiri's demo sets, and found it won't run on HW3.
