thanks for the help keith, Sweetwater sent me a 7 page document that turned off the pcia thing so that i could get the irq thing straighten out. I went through it all and it was looking good, then it rebooted again, and said my system/system32/config file was missing or corrupt, and that killed me. i had to load windows again in a different folder so that it wouldn't overwrite everything. I then backed it all up, and tried to reformatt my hd, but no luck. i'm about ready to buy another hd and start over. i did talk to the motu techs, and they had me install it again over the phone, and it worked fine. Go figure, but i'm still hjaving all kinds of windows errors, ( double OS??) i must have sent microsoft 150 error reports over the last two days!!! they(MOTU) did say with the pci424 cards, they have had no problems with the via chipset. I did download the 4-1 driver though....So, i don't know....the drivers from motu aren't signed by microsoft, so when i get all of these errors, it says that it was a driver problem, but it can't tell which one. i think that i have less problems when the motu is out of the system, but how can i prove it? and what should i do about it anyway? get a newer pc? they said that the hardware was optimized for win xp. jeeze, i'm worn out. right now i have only a modem, the motu 424 pci, and a ATI rage fury card in it. i downloaded 30 megs worth of service pack 1 and some critical updates, and i'm downloading the last 17 critical updates now. why you ask...i don't know! the rest of my system consists of 900mhz atalon, 384 mram, hp 9500 cdrw, floppy, and that's about it. anyone had any ideas, comments? i wonder if i should have got a delta 1010.....my 44 worked fine???
Dang, Jason
