![]() ![]() It's always sensible to wait for at least a few months after release before upgrading, so that the lemmings expose any remaining bugs and they can be dealt with by an update or Service Pack, and of course there's no point in upgrading for the sake of it if you're happy with the performance of your existing operating system. Windows 95 is now seven years old, making it extremely long in the tooth for an operating system, and it ís hardly surprising that many music developers are withdrawing support for it. They told me that they will happily send you a version 5.0 CD-ROM if you wish, which should scrape by running on the final Win 95C version, or return your 3.7 dongle and give you a refund if you prefer to return your 5.1 dongle to them. I've often contacted Steinberg's Helpline (020 8970 1924 in the UK), and found the tech support staff to be extremely helpful. This is the first version that doesn't officially support Windows 95, apparently not because there is any Cubase code that stops it working on this platform, but because there have been user problems with audio/MIDI drivers that are out of Steinberg's hands. However, when I followed this up with Steinberg Germany, I found that the latest 5.1 packaging only mentions Windows 98, ME, and 2000. PC Specialist Martin Walker replies: I had a look at the installation manual of my Cubase 5.0 update, and it did mention Windows 95, along with Windows, as minimum requirements. I can't reinstall version 3.7, as I had to send its dongle back, and the new one doesn't work with the old software - so I'm stuck. So despite paying for the software, I'll now have wait until I can afford to upgrade my OS before I can use it.įrom listening to others, it seems that nobody ever gets any reply from Steinberg and, for a company with their reputation, this isn't very good. Apparently, despite what it says in the manuals and on all the advertising, Cubase VST 5.1 will not run under Windows 95. Having tried several times to contact Steinberg's 'nonexsistant' tech support, nearly a month later I found a forum in Club Cubase that dealt with the exact problem. ![]() ![]() I've recently upgraded my copy of Cubase VST 3.5 to version 5.1 and, after several attempts to install it, I keep getting a list of errors. Why can't I run Cubase 5.1 on Windows 95? ![]()
