Laptop suddenly stopped recognising Fast-Track Pro

caesura

Hi Folks,

Last night out of the blue my laptop started refusing access to my Fast Track Pro and today even the little M Audio icon at the bottom right hand corner of the screen seems to have dissappeared and the fast track is not showing up in the devices in the sound area of my control panel.

When i start up the laptop i keep getting this message now TBIA Access Denied

Does anyone know what could be going on here?

Thanks
C.

I guess the most obvious thing to do is a reinstall.

there are quite a few instances of this mentioned over on the m-audio forums.
Things sometimes seem to go pear shaped for example if you connect the FTP to a USB port other than the one it was first installed on ... which happened to me recently just as I was setting up on stage .. a few mins of bowel loosening angst was had there before I remembered.

check out ALL of this thread and see if it helps:

note: there's a suggestion early on to mess with User Account Control (UAC) which should be ignored.

hope that's of some help.

Yeah the aul usb cards have to be in the same port they're always in...after that wipe and reinstall the drivers..

So do you think this is a driver issue, as opposed to a OS/Machine one?

Well shur, seeing as he didn't give much info regarding the os/machine (although its probably windows..dont start), any usb cards ive any experience with have always been problematic..the drivers would be (my) first target, just to get then out of the way..

Cheers Mick - it was the USB port alright (funnily enough i was sure i tried that but must have just put it back into the wrong one :rolleyes:) anyway got it back in the proper one in the end and after a bit of tinkering with Reaper (another little anomaly occured once i had M-Audio back in - but it sorted itself) i'm back in the game.

Seems to be a fair bt of this looking at that thread you linked to not to mention a few probs with Vista (which is my o/s)

Anyway thanks again all.

no worries mate.
having been tripped up once on that one I've now put colour tags on my USB devices, leads and ports so that I can match them up quickly during setup. It sounds anal but reduces the stress.
