I have an SKB portable rack with a Traveler MKIII, Traveler, and 8Pre installed. Beginning with driver 1400 I was able to run all three on the Firewire buss with Windows XP, SP3, unmodified. Driver 1414 ran even more smoothly.
However, in the last couple of weeks I began having swishing noises and a halting pointer in Sound Forge/Vegas, etc. Something had changed. I finally realized the only changes have been Microsoft's weekly installation of "necessary" updates to XP.
The short of it is that I uninstalled driver 1414, rebooted, re-installed 1414 and now I'm back running smoothly again. So beware that Microsoft updates can cause problems.

No kidding. IE8 completely KILLS Pro Tools M-Powered. A quick uninstall fixed it, though.

Re: Windows Updates can cause undesirable results
I can believe it. Once I get a new system running smoothly, I make a drive image and then never change a thing.
