Christian,
Other posts show that you can "sort of" run FT2 in XP. A post by Lithium says to right-click ft2.exe and select properties. Click the tab COMPATABILITY. Check the box for Compatability Mode and select the OS (WIN9x...) to run it. Click OK.
Once done, double click to run like any other EXE file. It opens and loads like normal and this is where I have the problem. Loading a song produces the error "not enough memory". Changing FT2 config doesn't do anything and there is no sound...even when you choose speaker. Choosing anything else causes the program to freeze.
I have dual-boot and even under DOS, I can select SB and sound occurs (i'm usually having a song playing to make sure it works) but then I can't move the mouse or stop the song playing. So I have to reboot. Not much help, I know but maybe someone else can fix both our problems...

: Hi boys and girls. You must have heard this a thousand times before, but never the less i'm gonna venture to ask you anyway. Does anyone know how to run Fasttracker 2 in windows XP? It's rather fustrating that a program this good though simple, can't run under the new windows program. Does anyone have a sort of converter to fasttracker or something?.......just help me.

: Kind regards Christian ( Biiiiiiig fan of ft2 )
