Hi gang,

I downloaded the Vista x64 drivers (64pci-1.6.9.2.zip) and when I installed it appears that the package installs drivers with version 1.6.8.0:

MOTU PCI Audio Driver for x64: 1.6.8.0, 7/13/2009
MOTU PCI GSIF Driver for x64: 1.6.8.0, 7/13/2009
MOTU PCI Wave Driver for x64: 1.6.8.0, 7/13/2009

Is this correct? Because the download page promises 1.6.9.2, 10/20/2009.

Thanks,
Bryan

It looks like the version string displayed in Device Manager is wrong. The version string on the driver files on disk is 1.6.9.2. For instance, go to %SYSTEMROOT%\system32\drivers, and find the file named motuaw.sys. If you look at the file properties, the version string is 1.6.9.2.

Well that's some relief - thanks 1nputOutput.

But in the end it's bad news. I've got a consistent Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) exiting Cubase 5, that has been reported by myself and others elsewhere, and I was kinda hoping that I didn't have the latest drivers. *sigh*

Thanks,
Bryan
