Anybody have success running Komplete Elements on a Windows XP machine? The official spec says Windows 7 only but that has been the case for Kontakt as well but I am successfully running Kontakt Player on XP. $59 for 3Gb of samples seems like a risk worth taking.

I'm assuming you're talking about K. Elements 8? NI just hasn't offered support for XP on this, but I'm sure it would work. (Even X2 is dropping support for XP).

I have the boxed version of Komplete Elements 7 and it ran without any issues on XP as well as Vista 32bit. (If you're interested in K7, I'd be glad to sell it as I've got the full versions of Kontakt as well as other stuff from NI....PM me if interested).
