Reverting to 1.10 to update firmware help

[joeholick]

Okay, so for a while now I have been struggling to use the latest version of drivers (1.21), but now realizing that I should have updated to the latest version of firmware a long time ago. So how do I get back to 1.10, I tried uninstalling using the programs integrated uninstall, and using the control panel uninstall but no luck. Anyone have experience with this issue or will I have to spend 8 hours on hold with tascam for a 10 minute fix?

Thanks!

You need to provide more info if you want help. This is for the firewire card, the IFFW-DM MkII yes? Mac or PC? What version firmware is on the card now?

In order to install firmware 1.10 I think you need to install the 1.10 driver first. I have attached the IFFW-DM MkII updates release notes. I think you can update to drivers 1.21 after using drivers 1.10 to install firmware 1.10 - but go by the release notes.

PC, yes the IF-FW MKII card with a PC, Windows XP.

I have read the release notes many times, I understand what needs to happen, but I am guessing you need to go into the system32 folder and delete the actual driver files.

I decided to just format the system and start fresh. I installed 1.10 first, but when I go to run the firmware updater, it does nothing, or my system just restarts.

Anyone with firsthand experience?

it does nothing, or my system just restarts.

Run it in "Windows 2000 Compatibility Mode".

Jarno! Thank you so much! Fixed it in 10 minutes...wow. Finally, no drop outs. I can't believe it. I have had a super computer and built it just to run this machine, but never been able to get rid of the drop outs and latency issues. I am SOOO HAPPY!
