No, if you check out the ProTools website, it specifically says that the free version is for 98/ME ONLY. It has nothing to do with his computer; it's just not designed for Windows XP.
That said, I suppose you could TRY running it in XP, but neither I nor Protools make any guarantee that it'll actually work.
And what do you need for a mixer? Do you plan to actually record guitar, bass, etc. or do mainly electronic music? |

I suppose it could be, but, that doesn't make sense in the context... |

I think that he's thinking that you said Pro Tools doesn't work on XP because of your computer. |

You ever try installing your critical updates? My stepmother is an expert at helping people on computers and that's what she told me.
...huh? Not sure what you're saying here... |

So far I could'nt find any good audio mixers either...

If it's Adobe, I'd say it's pretty good. |

Uhm, the version I have is back when it was Cool Edit Pro. The multitrack bit, if it's still the same, is only four tracks.  Although I think it might be useful if I ever start recording anything... I've got a four-track that I got for confirmation, so I could just use that for one or two things, dump it onto the comp, and keep going. |

I just got Adobe Audition just, like, 10 minutes ago. Is that any good? |

I'm pretty sure it doesn't actually. ME/98 only I believe. 
And the full versions require assloads of RAM (256MB minimum, which is quite a bit I think).
I personally use Cakewalk SONAR which I...um, acquired from my cousin for Christmas one year. He, in turn...acquired it from his friend. It works well enough for me. |

What's the best tool for it? I heard Pro Tools was good, and so was Cubase. What really is the best? |
