It might run, but there will be issues.  If you're thinking of upgrading your OS, you will probably want to update MC, too.

Thanks, kurushi
It's actually working OK for me most of the time, trouble is when it falls over it takes the whole pc with it, have to power off to restart.

As far as upgrading goes, I want MC to primarily organise my music, video and documents. There doesn't seem to have been much change in those areas since ver 12. Upgrading to 13 wasn't really worth it. If you don't use music stores, use MC on your TV or use Theatre view the difference since ver 12 seems pretty cosmetic. Might have to upgrade just to make the thing work though, we'll see.

Cheers.

U right many are cosmetic but sound system(kernel ) compatibility for future (DLNA etc...) and more option are very good too so it depends on you're need but however mc15 'll have more nice feature to offer anyway mc 12 stay a good soft specially for tagging.

This is not good, just took my pc down again. MC seems to want my pc to itself, not happy when I do other stuff while it's playing. Looks like I'm going to have to 'bite the bullet', bugger.
