Default Re: problem installing digidesign audio drivers (beta) for windows 7 64-bit

Interesting thread. My Windows7/PTLE8.0.4 install seems to not have correct driver support. I was wondering whether or not there was a need for manual driver installation--but this thread seems to indicate that all the necessary drivers are now included with 8.0.4, and this makes sense. But it still doesn't change the fact that my hardware isn't found by PT at start-up; nor does the 003R show up in the Windows Device Manager.

Very interesting indeed...

EDIT: It just occurred to me that I haven't explored this Legacy driver mode. In the 75+ pages of that one thread, I remember reading about it--but sort of forgot about it. There are so many issues mentioned in these W7/LE8 threads, that it's hard to keep them straight. So you have to run the 8.0.4 updater with the fire wire card in Legacy mode, or can you just switch to that mode after the installation has finished?
