Need help installing Cubase SL1 on Windows 11 PC!

Yep I know this is frugality at its finest…
… but in 2003 I spent $1000 on this most excellent DAW.
Cubase SL was still working on my old PC running Windows 10.
I now have a brand new PC running Windows 11, and after installing the program, it freezes during the opening sequence, near the very end. (Yes the ‘USB dongle’ e-licensor works, Quicktime works, etc.)

Can you try cubase in compatibility mode??? Right click on the cubase icon, properties…etc

*Pablin:

*Thank you so much for your valuable time on Steinberg Forums.

Yes, I did change Cubase SL to work with Windows XP SP2 (Compatibility
Mode).
Alas, it is some other bug that’s preventing the program from loading.
Error is “initialising Pentium IV optimised data type converters.”
