Fatal Exception 06 with Tascam US-122

[sickboy70]

Hi everyone. I just found this forum and am hoping someone can point me in the right direction.

I'm running windows 98 first edition on a 400mhz celeron, 75 gigs, 256 megs. I have been using Cakewalk Pro Audio 9 for about a year, plugging directly into my soundcard line in. Everything works flawlessly.

I just bought a US122. It installed fine, runs fine, routing all my sound through it. With the included Cubasis software I can record no problem, but I want to use Pro Audio 9. Every time I try to open Pro Audio I get a blue screen with the error message "A fatal exception 06 has occurred at 0028:00000017. The current application will be terminated." I hit any key to take me back to windows and then if I try to open Pro Audio again, nothing happens. It won't open, no error messages, nothing. If I unplug the US122 and reboot my computer, then I can open and work in Pro Audio, no problems. Then if I plug the US122 back in and attempt to switch my inputs in Pro Audio to that I get a message saying I need to exit and restart the program for the changes to take effect. I exit and when I try to restart, back to the blue screen again with the same error message.

Anybody have any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Minimum requirements for the US122 include Windows 98 SE (Second Edition). This is displayed on the side of the US122 package. If your looking to do USB Audio on a PC running Win98, you can pretty much count on having to do this upgrade. USB performance was greatly improved with the Second Edition upgrade. I hope this helps.

Thanks for the response. I bought the US122 used, and at the time was not aware of the win 98 2nd edit requirement. Since I found that out I had wondered if that was the problem.

I've got it up and running now, I just can't open cakewalk with the us122 plugged in. As long as I open cakewalk first, and then plug it in, everything seems fine.
