Since the question is: "What is the oldest version of Windows for which you use NoteWorthy Composer?" the most correct answer in my case should be: WFW 3.11.
Of course it's the discontinued 16 bit version of NWC and the more the time passes the less I use it.
Version 2 has too many plus to stick with that (very) old version!

Just for the statistics ;-)

So far it looks like:

Goodbye Recorder, SendKeys, MIDI Mapper and code pages.
Hello Unicode

If that meant Open Type Font support for GSUB and GPOS tables, I'd consider it a good trade-off. I could build a useable arpeggio into a font...

I had answered ME, but that is on a laptop I very seldom touch. My main PC is on XP Pro.

Windows 2000, SP4 with all current updates. It's rock-solid, and NWC runs flawlessly in it.

Cheers,

Joe

NWC2 runs flawlessly on XP and Win98. Haven't tried it lately on Win95, but I'd expect nothing less. Great software. It doesn't try to be fancy, it just works. A great strength is that it tries to work within Windows using its standard interfaces. If one knows their way around Windows, usable output can be produced quickly.

For many years, I ran NWC 1.75 on Win95. Then, I had to updgrade to XP for work and had no problem installing and using NWC 1.75. Now, I have Vista on desktop and laptop and have upgraded to NWC2. Still have an older desktop with XP,and NWC 1.75. Have kept it because I have an HP scanner that doesn't work with Vista and I don't want to replace a perfectly working scanner just because HP and MickeySoft won't update the driver.
