Hi
im new on here and new to online recording software. i downloaded audacity to my PC running Windows vista but the program wont open. very frustrating.
I seen a post on here saying you need to download Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015.
i went on there but it has this and i dont know which i should download.
File Name
vc_redist.x64.exe File Size 13.9 MB
Last time I remembered, they also discontinued the updating services as well when they discontinued windows 7, vista has ended support, and they discontinued their updating services. What I had to do is go on to Microsoft's catalog update site to download all the recent updates and security packs. Try looking there since it has every update from Windows XP and above.
When I chose the Windows Vista OS, I was brought to the "windows Error Recovery" window that started with the line "Windows failed to start..."
I then inserted the Windows 10 disk I got sometime ago from somewhere. I went into the Advanced Options and accessed the Command Prompt, where I typed the following:
X:\Sources>chkdsk d: /f
It should absolutely be possible to make the recent versions of the IDE work on Vista, though vista can demonstrate some incredibly perverse behavior due to bugs (or what appear to be bugs) in vista's implementation of UAC (I've definitely seen cant-happen situations happen with UAC file and registry virtualization).
