Which Version for old Laptop?

[Dadgad]

I'm running 2013 on an old Vista-32bit machine, and it works fine, when it isn't busy screwing up older drawings.

I am running 2012 on an old Vista 32-bit machine (the processor is actually 64-bit, but the machine was manufactured at the beginning of the 64-bit processors and there were not many drivers for 64-bit, thus the 32-bit OS).

It is generally not possible to obtain older releases unless you already have the license or are a student. (the Autodesk student site goes back 3 releases).

Nice point, I've been meaning to ask this, but anyway my university can give me access access to older versions if needed. For the moment I installed 2013 to try and see if it can run, but i encounter some issues. I opted not to install this new Autodesk Fusion 2013 software, and also i unchecked license manager from tools and utilities.

Now as soon as i launch i dont get the ribbon menu, and i get greeted by this. Does it matter that i chose not to install the aforementioned, or did something else go wrong in the installation? Can somebody make something from the following errors, and possibly how to fix things?

See the end of this message for details on invoking
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

Could it be because i'm running Windows 8 preview? I still havent managed to solve this error, but i found a guy with the simillar message, that also runs Win 8.
