    I believe some people on this forum are running it on Vista without any issues, although it's not officially supported by Cakewalk any longer.  Are you referring to Vista x64 or 32?

    I'm using X2 with Vista64 and it works fine. I occasionally have a screen redraw that will lag a bit. But I can live with that. Otherwise, stable.

    Yes, both X2 and the X2a update work under Vista.

    Vista worked just fine with X1 for me, after all, Vista is pretty much W7 with a bunch more services running by default.
    If you have problems using X1/X2 on a Vista-machine I recommend tweaking-tips from  tweakhound.com which made a big difference for me performancewise when using X1PE on a Core2Duo laptop.

    As always when tweaking - think it through (does the tweak make sense to you?) & do 1 tweak @ a time.

    The "Disable 8.3 names and Last Access"-tip is NOT recommended for a DAW though - if I remember correctly it causes plugin-problems.

    i would hold off on the patch (x2A) you should be fine with just X2.

    I have been running X2a on Vista 64 since it came out.  No issues so far.
