Scott.....WinXP...Cubase,Cakewalk,SoundForge,EMC Style Works Universal, BIAB all run fine on my XP.
The No-No's on my XP are Yamaha XG Works, XG50 SoundDriver, Roland VSC88.
I emailed Yamaha about the XGWorks and all they could say is there is a new version out in Jan 02.
Most of the problems are possibly down to Bill Gates. XP will not let you even try to load a program if its OS does not like it.
Information to other forum readers...If everything is running to ones satisfaction do not change to WinXP unless you are really intent upon making Bill Gates even richer.

I use Norton Ghost Image to enable me to quickly (within 10 minutes) have either XP or SE running on my PC.
The other alternative is make a dual boot system.
