Topic: FW not connected to UFX- or IS it? (WinXP/BC)

I decided to try the FW side after several goes with USB. The blue LED on the front panel is lit but TotalMix proclaims that it is disconnected and will not control the phantom. I thought I was current with drivers and firmware but it occurred to me that could be the problem.

The laptop is a 2.17 MB with bootcamp/XP.

Aside from this-- it is possible to track I/O errors without the Fireface USB setting utility?

Did you install the FireWire driver? It's separate from the USB driver. Check Device Manager in XP.

Before I do that-- since I recall reading that current firmware needs to be in place on the UFX-- the startup screen on the UFX says v1.44-- is this current? I cannot see anything in Downloads with that version #--

I will download the FW driver-- and I ran the latency checker, which is showing random red spikes. I opened the Device Mgr and there are 2 Apple Kbd devices-- which should I disable, and what will resuit?
