Hi there.
I've a Motu896 original and can't put it to work on Windows Vista..
Motu suport told me to try this and that, but.... same computer... diferent OS.
On XP works fine, on Vista computer freeze when turn on motu... after instaling drivers.
Before instaling drivers, computer detects a new device... but do not freeze.
Has anyone have the same problem?
Has anyone have some fix to this?
Any one know anything about making drivers to make a real working driver for 896ORIGINAL and vista!?
ps: Motu programers sucks!

896 and Vista64 support
I have this issue as well. I have spoken with MOTU and have TECHlinked. This is one of their replys to me "We have reproduced this issue are currently looking into a solution which we hope to have shortly" I still have the same problem even after new driver. I hope that MOTU will continue to work on this and to get a solution that works. The driver is listed as being for Vista64. Does not seem to be the case.
Hi
Thanks for your reply.
I've tried one more thing:
With nothing about motu on windows (like new windows install) I've connected motu896Orig. Vista detects an unknown device. Nothing new!
But instead of installing new or recent drivers I've installed first driver... those that came on CD inside motu's box.
The thing appens!
When turned on Motu, the drivers were installed with out freeze computer!
... ya.... lots of "red alert" about drivers, but do not crash the PC and motu work with windows audio, but no control panel (device not found) and no ASIO features!
Well, this is not what all want to ear but there are something on old drivers...

on this page you can find an old driver. IT WORKS
with Motu896 Original and Windows Vista
Restore point to a point were no motu exists on your OS data base.
instal that driver... Ignore red alerts (can't find signature... bla bla bla)
restart computer and it's working. No more freezed computer.
I've not tested all features yet but the link can be droped and you need to grab that now!

yeh shameful, was happy to see they finally dropped some new drivers. thinking cubase would run more stable somehow i installed them and to find out that the computer just freezes with my 896 plugged in now. i downloaded that older driver as suggested and now its fine again. MOTU YOU SUCK AND EVERYONE HAS KNOWN IT FOR YEARS!!!
