Do this. Do you get this error... http://kc.flexradio.com/KnowledgebaseArticle50440.aspx
When you check the compatibility of your Firewire chipset? http://kc.flexradio.com/KnowledgebaseArticle50456.aspx If so, then your Firewire is running at 100 MB rather than 400 MB and this can result in audio distortion and drop outs. If not, then don't worry about the hotfix. -Tim -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Alan P.

Since I posted, I have been able to grab the contents of the upgrade directory before Windows can delete it. Running the UPDATE.EXE file gives a message saying "The file is not correct." ?? Don't you just love the clear, unambigous error messages? >>Do you *need* the patch? Looks as if we are going to find that out. ;) 73s, Alan WA4SCA -----Original Message----- From: Justin M.

Do you *need* the patch? Does your system work without it? I had an issue with installing it too. I finally gave up and tried without it, there have been no issues. -------------------------------- On Dec 21, 2010, at 8:41 PM, Alan P.
