Primavera P3 - compatible with XP?

Fact is: P3 works much better with MS Windows XP when SP2 is NOT installed.

It works well in XP environment with SP1, so far no trouble.

Thanks. But if SP2 is installed on my machine - can i bring it back down to SP 1?

Hi,

P3 ver 3.1 only works with Windows XP - and not earlier versions of P3. P3 works without any problem even if XP sevice pack 2 is installed..

(once I faced problem when installed XP SP2, where P3 was already installed..but lateron when I has to reinstall P3, it worked well, even though XP’s SP 2 is still there..)

John,

I can confirm what Sonia says....P3 3.1 with XP SP2 works well. There is/was a problem that Microsoft disabled the 16-bit subsystem in one of the hotfixes by removing the autoexec.nt file from the c:\windows\system32 folder causing ALL 16-bit apps to fail. Copy the autoexec.nt file from c:\winodws\repair to the system32 folder to correct this fault. Both the MS and Primavera knowledgebases have this info.

Yes - Works well. In a network environment you will need everyone on the network to be using Windows XP. Also we have had problems with Adobe Print, We had to install P3 service pack 2 and change some adobe print settings.
