Hi everyone. Trying out a new PC it's a quad core A10 AMD. 12gigs a Ram. Does anyone have success running sonar 7 pro on these newer win 8 machines? If not will this new computer allow me to wipe 8 and install XP? Hmmmm. Thanks

1.Just right click on setup.exe of SONAR n click on the "properties" at the bottom of menu bar.
2.In properties page hit compatibility tab and select tick on "Run this program in comparability mode for:"
3.Select windows 7 or windows 8 (what ever version of windows u have) in compatibility mode.
4.Also select tick on "Run this program as an administrator" and click Apply then hit OK.
5. Now run again SONAR setup.exe, it should work.

Wow , I couldn't imagine someone reverting to XP?? don't even think about it. 
You were only kidding ,,right? 

I don't know about Windows 8, but I have run Sonar 7PE on a Windows 7 64-bit platform successfully.  There was no need for Compatibility Mode.
 

Thanks everyone, no just XP as a last resort.  I am running Sonar 7 Pro right now with no problems on this new win 8 HP desktop, so far so good!! :)
 
And this new roland quad capture is also kicking some butt!! Love it!! :)

X2A won't run on XP anyway and no one in their right mind would go back to it anyway.
