Yes, 8.0.5 works just fine on Win 8.1 PRO. Nice for a backup rig! Question: usually using ALT-F4 stores window positions and save/closes the session. But not on this. Any ideas?

Hi sw rec,

Pro tools LE 8 is not compatible with Windows 8.1. Some features may work and some features will not.

Best Regards,

YD

Thanks! I'm only using it as a backup in my office, since I seemed to have a spare Mbox mini laying around, so it's only a minor inconvenience. Everything else SEEMS to working pretty well.

Not to beat this to death, but I MIGHT try running it in compatibility mode. Even though it isn't Win 8 supported, it does basic tasks quite well so far.

I've done it, it worked ok my system. Run as Admin and Compatibility modes can help if you have errors. But as you know, it's not approved.

About the ONLY thing I've had not work is the alt-f4 to store window positions, running as administrator and in Win 7 compatibility mode. Nice to have a backup-backup system!
