Author	Topic: X.82 running successfully on Windows XP?
cebec Member	posted 22 November 2011 08:39 Hi all, Is anyone running X.82 successfully on a Windows XP machine? I've tried 32 and 64 bit versions with my Capybara and the application hangs shortly after opening. I removed my old Kyma.app folder, put the new one in and made the shortcuts (I tried both SSE and non-SSE). I sent an email with my information to symsound but I wanted to find out if anyone else is encountering this. Thanks! IP: Logged

miminashi Member	posted 19 February 2012 19:24 I've recently started using my Capybara again, and the Windows XP executable crashes immediately after launch (same for the Windows 2000 version under XP 32-bit). The version from the Windows folder loads and seems to work well, but I do experience random crashes that I can't quite explain. Hopefully you can get the XP situation sorted out, since I'd like to continue using my XP laptop with Kyma. IP: Logged
cebec Member	posted 19 February 2012 19:54 Hi. Make sure you're using the latest version of X.82 (re-download, if necessary), and then copy the Kyma X.app folder over your old one. Finally, run MakeDesktopShortcut.vbs in Kyma X.app and follow the prompt. If one does not work, do it again and choose the alternative. IP: Logged

miminashi Member	posted 20 February 2012 14:36 Thanks for the replies. The script simply appears to make a shortcut to one of the two executables in the 'Windows' folder, which I have been using but is still slightly unstable on my system. What I'm wondering about is whether or not the version in the 'XP' folder should be used under XP, or if it's there for some kind of archival/legacy reason. IP: Logged
SSC Administrator	posted 21 February 2012 00:06 Sounds like you have a mix of old and new files. To fix this, please delete the Kyma X.app folder (in the Kyma folder). Then replace it with a fresh copy of X.82 downloaded from the site. Thanks! IP: Logged
