I run x64 at home and thus cannot install the version of Turing given to me by my professor. I was wondering, is there a version of turing compatible with Windows XP x64? Or perhaps a browser-based version? Thanks in advance. |

I doubt it. Then again, there's supposedly a linux version. |

I run Turing on my Athlon64... It shouldn't be a a problem. What's the 'error' you are getting? If anything, just install it onto a non-64 bit computer, and copy over the files to your Windows 64bit edition in the Program Files x32 folder (there are only a few things that are copied over to the registry, it's won't hinder anything). |

There is a mac verson but not a linux one, however peoleop have used wine to get it to run on linux. I have tested this out in the past and it works but is buggy. |

Buggy indeed. I'd get fatal errors in most programs, to the point where I gave up running Turing code in linux. I know Holtsoft's sight doesn't list a linux version; Hikaru79 once told me that he'd been asking Holtsoft for their linux version, but, IIRC, they wanted him to buy it, despite being a student at a school that had a distribution licence. |

I've done the directory copy method of installation before. I think the only registry changes that Turing makes are file associations. |

...and your "beginner mode" setting. Hence my long awaited answer to this. |
