[sure hope there's some Windows brainiaks around on the weekend to help]...
OK...purchased a new machine (ADK Pro Audio) for the recording/mastering
studio; & attempted to set it up w/ my audio interface (Lynx Aurora8/AES16)
earlier this evening. Got the AES16 installed (which is the PCI
component...the Aurora8 is the breakout box, w/ the A/D/A converters & audio
I/O's.)
I fire up the new box...& at first was paying attention to the 'New Hardware
Wizard' for the tasks of installing a new aftermarket keyboard & mouse I
also purchased for the new rig. So I finally get around to installing the
Lynx software (drivers & virtual mixer) from their CD-ROM. [Lynx has the
user install everything from disk first...which goes into a specific folder
on the C Drive. Then the New Hardware Wizard gets directed to the Lynx
folder for the system driver install on reboot...when the wizard comes up.]
This is their proprietary method.
But on reboot...the wizard no longer popped up, for some reason.
So I run it from the Control Panel...but it's a *different* New Hardware
Wizard configuration...in that, it only searches *automatically*...& doesn't
show the dialog that allows for a browse of locations for install. (???)
I know this isn't the audio interface mfg.'s problem...it must be something
to do w/ the way ADK configured my OS (XP Pro, SP2, 32-Bit) for audio,
maybe...but what can I do now? ADK Support is closed for the weekend; &
need to get my audio up & running (hopefully tonight.) Does anyone here
know what I could possibly be doing wrong (if it's me?...or Windows?) Is
there a way to get the "full fledged" hardware wizard to run somehow (in
order to browse to the Lynx folder for a successful driver install)?
Could use some help.
Thanks,

[BTW - Believe it or not...on top of all that...my *ISP software* (Verizon
DSL) is now too old for the new computer...so I had to disconnect the new
one; & reconnect the old one...just to come here & post the problem for you
guys. This is maddening.]
