Final Scratch/Serato Scratch...Compatible with Vista?????

iainlad · Post by **iainlad** » Mon Dec 10, 2007 3:24 pm

I recently (and stupidly) bought a laptop PC with Vista as the OS. Can anyone tell me if Serato, Final Scratch or any other programs of this nature are compatible with Vista?? Torq maybe??

visit the software's homepage and read under "requirements", the information is there

It is possible to use serato scratch in a vista pc and there is a vista driver provided by serato. However, there is a problem with it and everytime you disconnect the interface after using serato you get 'the blue screen of death' and have to reboot.

I used it in a couple of gigs and it worked fine but I somehow doubt how reliable/stable it is.

I managed to get the XP drivers for my laptop and installed XP on it, Maybe you should do the same?

Torq is Vista compitable. I use a Powerbook, so I had never tried it. I just installed it though and Torq and the Connectiv interface installed just fine. My tables aren't near my PC, so I can't actually use vinyl controll to test it.

Not that this is a recommendation of Torq.

i have serato installed on a mac with bootcamp running vista. i don't normally use vista but i've tested it before and seemed to work fine. vista sucks bad. xp is so much more stable., get xp and switch over before you pile to many apps on there.

vista is not compatible with computers anyway

Vista won't run well on a older/slower machine with less RAM. If you have 1GB of RAM or more then Vista works fine. Yes, it takes more resources to run Vista, but today's computers are powerful enough to cope

There are no issues with the stability of Vista. It is at least as stable as XP. I've been using Traktor Scratch with Vista and it runs very well. Serato Scratch doesn't run so well but this may be fixed in the future.
