I'm the one responsible for suggesting that Csound6 won't run on XP.
 
I was wrong - it *does* run, unless you want to run realtime with MIDI input. (It's external MIDI control that doesn't work.)
 
Example: run my SpiritusSanctus2.csd (toward top of www.arthunkins.com) with a MIDI controller with 8 sliders (CsOptions: -odac -M0). The run stops dead at the end of the output below, with only two CTRL-C's bringing the commandline fully back to life. (I imagine you'll get the same result with *any* MIDI input device plugged in.)
 
Just tried this with Csound6.02 today; this problem has existed with Windows XP since 6.00.

Thanks--Some good thoughts and leads here. Yeah, Apple vs Mac. I get it and have thought about it. As for noise, I built a sound proof box some years back for equipment that makes noise so that isn't an issue. Don't know why I got the impression that 6.x wouldn't run on XP...will give it a try. Thanks again. Much to think about.

Thought I'd throw this out to a knowledgeable bunch of people...

My music computers are not connected to the Internet and are too old (Windows 2000 and XP) for Csound 6.x.  However, given the omni-connectedness of newer Windows operating systems, I'd appreciate any thoughts on how to set up a new standalone Windows computer.
