Will the Session KeyStudio ever be compatible with XP SP3?

[Khorkeas]

Hi, I'm a new user here, and I created this account for this specific question (with some exposition first):

I have had a Session KeyStudio for roughly 18 months and have been loving it. However, about two weeks ago my HD went ka-put on me, and I had to reinstall Windows and everything (which wasn't too bad, all my data was backed up on an external hard drive).

I got my computer back less than a week ago, and have been busy re-installing programs and fixing ID3s, and just yesterday noticed that my Session KeyStudio Install Disc was giving me the no-go on reinstalling itself. I found out earlier today that this was because I now have XP SP3 after getting my OS re-installed (before it was XP SP2), and that the Session KeyStudio is not compatible with XP SP3 for some reason.

The question (with some more exposition) now:

Since I cannot get rid of SP3 without re-installing XP, (because they slipstreamed SP3 into their install disc) my only other option is wait until the Session KeyStudio is compatible with XP SP3. The question I'm asking is:

When (if ever) will the Session KeyStudio be compatible with the OS, Windows XP with Service Pack 3? Will it be in the near future or more far off? I really need the answer so I can weigh my options on what I'm doing to get my KeyStudio up and running again, as I quite enjoy it.

Thanks in advance for reading and possibly helping me!

Good question, and I made other question: Session will be compatible with Vista SP1 in other languages non-english?
All others applications runs fine! Guitar Rig, Amplitube, Sound Forge... but Session... crashes!!!

Yes, they are working on updated installers for XP SP3 and Vista SP1. I do not have an ETA at this time but I hope to have more info next week.

Hello JA, any news?

[JA]

The 1.6.3 Updater that's posted to our drivers/updates page (www.m-audio.com/drivers) will update Session 1.5/1.6 on XP SP3 if Session was installed prior to installing SP3. I know they are still working on the updated installer for Session on XP SP3 and Vista SP1, but I still don't have an ETA.

Hi,

I just bought the Session Keystudio keyboard and software today and it won't install because I've got XP SP3. Any news on a new installer?

Thanks.

I just bought this system today after hearing about it on several voice acting websites. Unfortunately I haven't been able to install the software because I have sp3 and I can't uninstall it. I really want to be able to use this program especially since Best Buy doesn't accept returns on software. I'm desperate here. I don't want this to be money down the drain... :(
