elektrolurch: oh, glad to hear u got it all working now tho. hope i do too in the end.

All I wanted to say: it's definitively a CW board problem an not installation, RAM, Mobo or so. My both broken board were manufactured at the same time. The 3rd one ia one year younger.

I see!
Well, ive emailed the support at CWA, so hopefully ill hear from them soon.

Any luck with this steffensen?

I just got the same message.

I tried to reinstall but can't get past the keys page during installation.

However I can run SCOPE SDK just fine.

I've been having mild problems with one particular card for a while now, complaining that it can't load "ADAT B Source" in my default project. It's a Pro card with a Plus plate. I had been ignoring the problem since I don't use that ADAT B anyway. Trying to load the ADAT sources & dests for that card also causes an error message in the SDK, but I never get any "code 0001" errors from the SDK.

I'll contact support but would love to hear back if you've had any luck, or what course of action you're taking right now...

Thanks much!

Hi there,
Sorry to hear about your problem!
I had that problem too, where i couldnt get past the key page.
I sent my cards to CW Audio, and are awaiting their respond as of now.
So im not sure whats wrong really, not yet anyway.

You should contact them and take it from there.
I personally called Ralf on the phone who was most helpful (such a nice guy).

I wish you good luck!

Thought id post a little update on the matter for anyone else that might be in a similar situation.

I just got a call from CW, and they have tested my cards, and found no problem with them.
This leads to the conclusion that it must be my mobo and/or PSU.
Luckily i have replaced them both, and are eagerly awaiting the arrivel of my SCOPE's return, so i can give them a testrun with the new setup.

As my new disks crashed all the time, it also pointed in the direction of mobo/PSU.

Anyway, just thought id let u know.

well, Ive recently had a case where a 'new' (was on the shelf for a year or so) disk died within less than 24 hours - which means first it produced all kind of wiered errors (but of course wasn't suspected...) until SMART gave a final alarm the next day.
Probably not the usual way things run, but just to mention shit happens

cheers, tom

Shit happens for sure,
for the record tho, ive just replaced my 2 disks, and they both crashed physically after 1-2 weeks with the old mobo and PSU.
So, hopefully the computer-store will give me 2 new disks again (warranty still applies i think..), or else ill have to buy new ones.

you didn't have any chance to try any of creamware card in another comp. setup, before you send your cards to CW,

and which model of mobo you have and how old is mobo ?

most manufacturers are really generous with their warranties on harddisks - never had a problem to get a replacement - that's nice, but...
...what's that sh*tty disk anyway - I've been through a complete clean and optimized re-install - (personally) I'd even pay for a new one if it would save me from going through the installation BS once again, but that's of course just wishful thinking...
that about their extended warranties to cover extended crappyness of production, not exactly amusing...

cheers, Tom

Im afraid not, that would obviously been a good option tho. All pointed to HW-failure on the cards however as u can see in the earlier posts, but you never know i spose! Ive learned a few things during this "exploration".

oh man.... i couldnt agree more! Ive replaced my share of disks during the years. It redicilous what kind of "quality" they have these days. Its funny how a disk 7 years old still functions just fine, while the disks bought just a year ago, or less, mailfunctions all_the_time.
I would easily pay a bit more, just to have a disk worth the money, where the manufactors didnt confuse warranty time with functional time.

oh yeah, I have to be very very careful and may only whisper it's name softly, but of those seven years oldies is spinning uninterupted for that amount of time, politely serving the office database... if you adress them too loud or even praise them, they might shriek to death and fail next day, ...so these words were never even thought...

cheers, Tom

i hear ya
