9.02 upgrade... dont do it

[SNAPPER]

crapware

I have to load the driver 2-3 times before it finds the hardware successfully. This is now just about every time I power on my digi003 rack
been going on for 2-3 weeks now
unbelievable

do they have a QA dept at AVID?

Works pretty good for me on an 003R+, though it does lose the driver from time to time and I have to switch from the legacy firewire driver to another and back in order for Windows to rediscover it. Have you tried all the alternate firewire drivers??

[SNAPPER]

No I have not tried the alternative FW drivers
I am using the legacy drivers as I was told to use
Is that the issue? Please send me a link
I need relieve

Thank you

9.02 is working great with my 003R.

Did you install the updated 002R 003R driver for 9.02?

You go into Device Manager to 1394 Bus Host Controllers, Update Driver, and Browse my computer, choose Let Me Pick From A List and you'll be shown a list of available drivers - mine has 3. You might try each one and see if you have better luck.

If PT 9.x is approved for Win7 64bit this should not be necessary.
This is the way people were making 8.x work on Win7 machines.
And the reason given was constantly because "8.x is not Win7 approved".

I agree - but unfortunately for me it is necessary. In fact, for 8.x I actually used the default Windows 7 firewire driver. Not a big deal though.

See this thread:
9.0.2 Not Communicating With 003 Rack+

i too had problems with loosing the my 002r driver until i gave up on that legacy FW driver business.

now it works every time, only bugs i'm getting is punch point crackles and LLM doesn't work

With the TI firewire card (PCIe) and driver, I haven't seen this issue at all.
