Just got my new Cubase SX, great. Great that is until I see the new dongle. USB!!!
And of course the old message comes up in SFP/Pulsar, 'PCI capacity reached, blah blah blah'
Please help. Does anyone know how to avoid this without disabling the USB ports ?
I feel like I'm going backwards!!

Depends on your motherboard ... good ones, you will almost never see this.
Also if you don't have chipset drivers properly installed for your motherboard, you may see this, be sure you have the right chipset/ide/agp drivers installed (this is usually one bundle of drivers).

I noticed my friend on his Nvidia TNT2, he can assign bandwidth for each USB port (in Device Manager, USB Controller or Hub properties). Maybe setting a low bandwidth could help a little?

I recently reformatted my hard drive and installed XP pro on top of Win 98. This might sound really dumb but would XP have installed the motherboard drivers, or should I re install the drivers that came with the motherboard when I bought the computer.
Just to let you know the board is an Oktek rhino and the bandwidth assigned is 10%.
Thanks for helping.

Hi,
I had exactly the same problems, except with a different mobo. My one piece of advice is, do a CLEAN install of XP. XP gives you the option of "upgrading" or "new install" XP just verifies that you've got an original win98 CD. I tried upgrading from 98 but kept getting PCI overflows with SFP and SX. Once I blew 98 away (re-formatted my drive) and did a "new install" of XP - I've had no problems. I've got a zip drive, a card reader, the SX dongle, a midex3 midi interface, and a palm pilot cradle all hooked up via a USB hub and everything is sweet.
Cheers

Sounds like it's worth a go. Give me a week (busy busy) and I'll let you know what happens. Thanks

if it's a fresh install(reformatted hd) i would install the mobo drivers that came with the mobo.

...I'd go download the latest versions of these drivers from the mfg's website (intel,amd,via,sis, or nvidia), and install those...
