you should use slot 1 and 5 for scope only.
also, try to add a 2nd wave source/dest module.
two 24bit maybe?

all the best!

I never saw anything in the installation manual about PCI slots 1 and 5. I'll check the forums for hints on that.

Why 24bit, btw?

Ok then.

Now it's time to call it a night. Saturday night is quality time with the family night.

I'll get to changing the slots tomorrow and come back to say "HELP!" again

See ya tomorrow, guys

Gooooooood Moooooorniiiiiiing!

(yes, astroman. I'm back AGAIN).

I changed the cards' slots to 1 and 5. Reinstalled SFP on top of the previous install.

Still , I got a computer freeze just playing a Flexor patch(Evolutor) with my DX7 as controller. This is really starting to look like a MIDI problem.

I also got the same result by using my guitar synth as MIDI controller, this time coming from the second MIDI input(in my second Pulsar).

NOW! This is a very interesting development.

I rebooted the computer. I played around with the Evolutor patch again with my guitar without a freeze. I tried my keyboard (switched MIDI source) and got a freeze immediately. BUT! even if I have that fast loop going on I can play other notes from my keyboard.

I hope there is a fix.(it's friggin' HOT in here. and NO my computer is not overheating

)

...still freezinx while watching video?
(without connecting midi)

Well, I kinda gave up on the video thing. It's certainly not as important as getting things to work when I need to get something done for a producer. Mind, I do sometimes need to sync video to music....

Microsoft POS error message just appeared while opening a Logic project

for shure, but could be interesting for problem sloving!
there seems to be 2 problems:
freeze on midi input
freeze while watching a video
letz try to fix both

Hmmmmm.... Now some Logic Projects won't open due to a missing synsoacc.dll. I looked on the net and this thing seems to be only related to cracks (of Cubase at that)of which there are none in my machine.

I am confused now.

Anywho, back to the video testing, with and without MIDI plugged in

Holy Crap!

BSOD while browsing to get a 24bit wave module.

Now I'm really confused

Another thought - do you have HT enabled in BIOS? If so, try disbling.

paulrmartin · Post by **paulrmartin** » Sun Aug 01, 2004 10:43 am

HT disabled since first install

AndreD · Post by **AndreD** » Sun Aug 01, 2004 11:05 am

my setup:

ht: enabled
bios: default settings
win: multiprocessor (default if ht is enebled)

what is BSOD by the way?

it´s time for a fresh installation?

i would do it with default-setting for bios and windows-installtion.

any IRQ sharing, by the way?

paulrmartin · Post by **paulrmartin** » Sun Aug 01, 2004 11:15 am

Yeah, I think so too.

Andre, you are a prince to stick with me all this time

BSOD = Blue Screen Of Death

Edit: Movie froze the computer just opening it.
Changed CD-ROM drive, same thing...

you are running xp?

i have an idea for a workaround (video prob):
use the onboard-audio and connect the s/pdif out to cw s/pdif in.

it´s not great but...

i´m rellay getting some posts today
