XP Problem, any clue?

[Staffan Kerker]

Hi
Just installed PTLE 5.3.1 on my XP system.
Got the following error after reboot, once
the installation program was finished.

IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

Sounds like som IRQ error, but haven't changed
anything since I ran it in WinME. I run a
AMD XP1900 with a VIA333 chipset. Worked nice
in WinME... Any ideas? A solution would be
lovely to hear! =)

if you go to the microsoft support pages and search for that error, i believe you might find a solution.

Hm, I thought so too. Got a whole bunch
of hits but hard to find any clues to a
solution to my problem... I now have the
Digi001 installed in my XP, but not completely,
PT can't run and I can't use the DIGI... but
XP device manager says that everything is fine
with the installed Digi 001.... something is
very strange...

The solution given by Microsoft knowledge
base is basically: "Get a correct device driver"... and so I hope I had from Digidesign...

One of the beta testers solved this error by disabling his RAID controller.

I disabled my RAID controller as well and now
I got rid of that problem... instead I get the
following upon launching PT after a now successfull installation and reboot.

"This software requires installation of certain
device drivers and a rebooting before running.
Please reboot or reinstall software."

Not this happends every time, after a few reboots, and the device manager shows that the
DIGI i successfully installed... hints? do I need
to have the WaveDriver installed as well?

I believe you do. The new wavedrive is a separate download from the 5.3 download. If you go to where you can download the 5.3 there is mention of this and where to get it.

hm, that's not it.. installed the Wavedriver as well... eveything looks good but still the same problem. PT won't launch, and as I try to run other applications, say WinAmp through my Wavedriver it can't aquire the hardware...

just saw that digitest stalls on final test (7/7)
never done that before... what is that test?
