Luna II, SFP 3.1c, software violation, pci overflow

BigBulle · Post by **BigBulle** » Fri Nov 01, 2002 10:04 am

Hello everybody,

I have some problems with my Luna II.
I installed SFP3.1c in Win98 and I had to choose between two drivers: CreamWare(ScopeBoard) or CreamWare GmbH (Creamware DSP-Board). I didn’t find anywhere which of these two drivers I had to choose and I chose the second one because its name sounds great.
Everything worked well even if I had some pci overflow messages or protection violation messages, especially when I plugged a jack in my Luna II (?!).

However, one of these ‘violation protection messages’ also told me that I have to re-install the driver. But I don't manage to re-install this driver, I have always an error in the control panel. Moreover, I can’t uninstall the SFP3.1c and I still don’t know which driver I have to choose for my Luna II.

What can I do?
Please help me!!!

Best regards,

BigB.

PCI Overflow? Typical for a VIA chipset, you got one? Then probably avoiding samplers, reverbs, delay lines will avoid too much PCI traffic.

About the CPVE: I have no idea how that occurs. In a previous OS version which wasn`t dual CPU compatible, I had big troubles with it. These problems are solves for me since SFP.

Thank you for the answer.

For the moment the problem is that I can't install the LunaII driver again and I can't uninstall the SFP3.1c because the driver is not install (!!!)

So what can I do except format my hd (or throw my CW card through the window) ?

Regards,

BigB.

Have you tried to uninstall the current drivers and select the other driver option via Device Manager?

Actually, the driver is not install or when I install it, there is a yellow '!' next to it.

I don't see what you mean by 'the other driver option.

Do you know which driver I have to choose between the 'Scope Board' and the 'Creamware DSP-Board'.

Regards,

BigB.

"other driver option": the 'Scope Board' or the 'Creamware DSP-Board' drivers

reformatting sometimes saves time and trouble with a bad install..........

check also if your card is physically well seated and tighten....

Thank you for all these answers.

I didn’t touch my computer all this weekend and this evening, I started my computer and..., strangely..., the driver was well installed

.
Well, I don’t understand anything and I don’t feel reassured…

I think that I should work on again with my old 4-tracks instead of my “professional

” audio card...
...for the moment I become a bit discouraged.

Regards,

BigB.

if it works again it's not a software thing, so if the problem reappears check the card is well in place....

The card seems very well in place. Perhaps should I clean the connectors...

But I think that your're right because the errors occur when I plug a jack into my card.

Thanks and regards.
