Re: USB problems w/ XP

2008-06-27 by steve_the_composer

Although I had success with Win98 and E-Mu's USB, I was never able to 
get it to work with XP, despite numerous attempts. I even tried some 
tricks to fool the usb enumerator, unfortunately without success.

This issue has been raised several times of the years. I believe there 
was one person who had a suggestion that I never got to try. I believe 
it involved resetting a specific chip manufaturer's settings.

Some users report success with setting up E-Mu's usb drivers with XP.

I will try searching the archives to see if I can post links to those 
threads.
