Basic,

This is how I setup my system:

1. Install the OS with *nothing* else attached. No other PCI cards installed. Install SP1. Install all the critical patches and updates.

2. Install CW card with drivers - REBOOT

3. Install CW Scope OS - REBOOT

4. Tweak CW settings / save / define startup project

5. Install TC card with drivers - REBOOT

6. Install UAD card with drivers - REBOOT

7. Install Midex drivers - REBOOT

7. Install Cubase + Updates - REBOOT

Load and run initial tests on Cubase with the other cards. If this is good I then go on to install my other apps and vsti's.

This method seems to have worked the best for me.

8. Start making music!!!
YO!

just to stir things up...

that way your xtc plugs go where sx expects them,i've had less trouble with xtc that way....

not a huge difference.

Reading this, I had to think about an old (and obviously very true) Linux joke:

-----
Windows -> REBOOT / Linux -> BE ROOT
-----

Sorry, no flames please...

But it's in fact true, you only have to reboot Linux when you switch the kernel (installing a driver is not changeing the kernel, for example. Updating the kernel from 2.6.5 to 2.6.6 is... ).
Don't know about Mac's - do you have to reboot OSX all the time?

There are quite a lot of those jokes, like:
"Avoid the Gates of hell - use Linux"
or:
"The manual said: Windows 2000 or above - so I installed Linux"
or:
"It's Linux if it has a X in it's name - the Xbox has to be Linux, then"
and many, many others...
