Default Re: PT Won't boot up due to FW Driver

Noticed you'd fixed this AUG 10 17 with the Windows 8 / 8.1 Legacy driver
http://www.motifator.com/index.php/f...thread/479101/

... but it's playing up again.

According to:
https://www.studio1productions.com/A...Firewire-1.htm
"NOTE: We have noticed that when Microsoft has issued certain updates, it can cause Windows 10, Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 to switch back to use the original 1394 OHCI Compliant Host Controller driver. If you notice the FireWire device is transferring slowly or not working, then just repeat the above steps and reinstall the Legacy driver."

See here about reinstalling, then updating via Device Manager - choose Generic1394 OHCI compliant host controller (Legacy)
