I had to format my HD....and start over. Ordered the Cubase SX3 ver to replace SX2. When I go to Tascam site and download us428_win2kinstall_3_24.exe for my USB 428. Upon installing the zip file...it does not show up in the control pannel to fix setting etc. I have loaded it several times......but does not seem to be working right. I have not put the new cubase in yet. Just wanting to load up the controler (Tascam 428). Does it make any difference if the 428 is connected before installing the software?

Any comments
Win XP sp1, 1024M,Dual Mon, Dual pro 3.06.
 
Any help for US428 software not staying on computer.

I was hoping for someone who can fix my situation. As stated everytime I install the US428 software and use it with Cubase SX3...when I turn off computer......the software is gone and the US428 does not work. Any comments please!!!!!!!!! Here is what Tascam sent me as instructions for un-installing and re-installing the software for US428....

Tascam want me to format HD to fix their trouble.

My Situation:::Tascam after waiting for over an hour on the phone sent me their sheet of instruction. I followed them..with out success. I load the software, the us428 shows up in control panel, usb is lit on 428, is in Cubase SX3...everything works. Then when I turn off my computer..it is all gone.

Here is the last e-mail I got from Tascam Operation Support (Blaz Gallegos)

Tascam Suppoet says..............
There is something with in your Windows which is preventing the US428 from installing. You will have to completely uninstall Windows and re install with a full version. Do not use your manufacture version of Windows you will have to use a Microsoft version[/B].

Folks..this is just a cop out..one company blaming the other. But whats a fellow to do...I want to record and everything worked before with the same setup. I am thinking trash my 428 and get with something else that will deal me a fit. What do you think? Wonder if the new file from tascam could be Bla. Any comments would be in order.
Thanks..Choctaw
 
My 428 loaded-AND Working-NO Thanks to Tascam Teac.

I found an old copy of a 3.09ver driver for the tascam I used way back on 98se. It loaded up and my us428 is working and staying on the the computer now...where as before with the new driver 3.30 when rebooting the program was gone.

Glad I didn't rush out like the Tascam fellow said and buy a new copy of MS Win XP because they thought the XP that came with the computer was just a want to be. Gateway says its the real deal and so does the old driver. If it were not for the users our troubles would never get fixed. Thanks to the people in the trenches.......getting things to work inspite of Big Brother with NO toll free calls for help.
