VTube has a problem understanding where the configuration folders are inside Windows XP without some manual setup work.

  1. On Windows 7, 8, and 10 computers, the installation program for VTube installs configuration data here: "C:\Users\Public\Documents\VTube\config".

  2. On Windows XP computers, the installation program will create the configuration folder here: "C:\Documents and Settings\All User\Shared Documents\VTube\config"

However, VTube will not find the Documents and Settings folder when it runs in Windows XP. The reason is that there is no knowledge of a PUBLIC folder path like there is in newer Windows versions.
