Running SFM SDK on Windows XP

[Alkalide]

I've read that the SFM SDK doesn't launch on Windows XP. From personal experience, I can say that it's true. What I'm wondering is if anyone's managed to find a work-around for that rather major problem, and gotten the thing to actually start up on a Windows XP machine; and of so, how.

Unfortunately, I have neither the money to buy a new operating system (let alone a whole new computer, which I really need, in all honesty) nor the backup storage to save all the stuff I don't want to lose that's currently on this XP rig I'm using. So if there's a way to make it work with XP, I'd love to know.

Hate to say this Zokk, but you might want to scrape real hard for a new system. the lifecylce for XP is over. I doubt that you'll see much in the way of updates or any type of support for it.

yep, me too I'm been having this problem since the first time i download sfm and till now, i still can't use SFM. For pivate reasons, i'm also using windows xp. I can download sfm but cannot open it. The moment i open it, my computer starts to lag and it will stay there till i close it.Its hasbeen a major problem for me for the past months...

damn. the solution is the same. you gotta upgrade your os (operating system). xp is officially dead and not supported anymore.
