Antares Auto-tune with Vista?

[FolkDog]

I just had to replace a burned out motherboard, and without really thinking about it, picked up the OEM Vista that came along with it.

Vista has worked surprisingly well, and is much faster than my old XP (primarily because this is the 64 but version and my xp is 32 and I switched to a quad core processor).

The only application it killed was Autotune (I ran AutoTune 4 as a DXI under SHS). I can't even get Autotune to try and install.

Is there any work around that anyone knows to make Autotune work with Vista? It was one of my most useful plugins and I know I will miss it. I'm thinking about starting again with my old XP disks - but not sure if I will miss it that much.

In the alternative, is there any Cakewalk Friendly, Vista friendly software that would replace Autotune?

Searched the Antares site and thes forums, and can't believe someone else hasn't run into this issue?

Thanks in advance for your help.

I think the problem is that when autotune died, it was still in your registry and therefore it won't let you reinstall it. If you know enough about computers, you can delete the registry and then try to reinstall. If you don't know how, I wouldn't mess with it, and let a pro do it. Deleting the wrong thing could really screw your system up.

Thanks for replying - but this is a clean install on the OS and application disk (all the audio *data* is preserved on a separate disk - but I bought a new faster drive for the system disk). So this isn't a conflict with existing registry entries. I'm comfortable hacking the registry, and I suppose I could try to hand register autotune by copying the XP registry from the old drive - but that does seem dangerous and doomed for failure.

Anyone out there have a version of Autotune working with Vista?

I do appreciate you jumping in though - I'm dying here ;-)

Reinstall Autotune with the VST versions not the DXi. The Antares site indicates these can operate as DXi, VST for PC based hosts like Sonar or TDM for Pro Tools.

vista`s got its own partition tool i`ve heard
so you could partition your harddrive and run xp when you want to-till you get vista sorted
