Like JUT SAUER I am also working with 4GB ram (and not ready to downgrade to 2GB, if this be what MOTU are suggesting). Has anyone come up with any solutions. My interface is a MOTU 828 MKII and I am working with Windows 7 (using the drivers provided on the MOTU website)?

I had many problems in the past, even on windows XP (had to disable dvd writers etc) in order to have a flawless system. now, I had to upgrade to a new system, and reading Jut Sauers' comment I feel terrible. I have exactly the same. So, RME, here I come because I'm tired of companies selling things which they can't support.

I was unable to install the latest driver (driver ver. 3.6.8.1414) of my Motu 828MK2(USB2.0), cause Win Vista home prem.64 Bit responds with an error code (Code 1721). (Note: switch off the Account mangager from Windows Vista 64bit.. might fix this problem!) 2. After the installation i had a bluescreen... no sound & no clue... 3. Motu responds(next day): - I have to remove 2GB of RAM (if you use 4GB or more)... - or buy me a new OS(32 bit Vista)... Okay guys dream on... I got no time for this ish... ill buy me a new Interface... Motu is useless for me... Ayo guys… i got the same problem…

I downloaded file 64fw.3.6.8.1414 but could not run setup audio file. It keeps giving me error 2753 "setupfwinstaller not marked for installation". Does anybody have the same issue? Thanks.

I have had my 828mkII for a few years now. When I upgraded to Vista64, it would just not work or the audio is all garbled. I thought maybe it was the motherboard, but we just picked up a new Dell XPS and it has the same issues. Works fine on XP. Same issues here. I have had my 828mkII for a few years now.

I recently also got Vista 64-bit for this same computer so I can dual boot to either Vista 64-bit or XP Pro 32-bit. The 828 MKII still works great in XP Pro 32-bit. Unfortunately, I get dropouts and weird noises and all the LEDs lighting up when trying to use with Vista 64-bit. I do have the latest drivers for Vista 64-bit which came out about a week ago, but still doesn't work. I spent a LONG time on the phone with MOTU tech support and they swore their drivers are not the issue. Finally, I decided to reinstall Vista 64-bit to see if completely starting over might fix it. NOPE! Still unreliable. I think I'm going to just sell my 828 MKII and buy an EMU or an RME. My 828 MKII works fantastically in XP Pro 32-bit.

I bought the damn computer just to use in my studio and now it's useless because of MOTU. Even before that though I was forced to use the 1.5.3.2 driver after the release of the 1.6 driver. Since that release there hasn't been a driver from motu that has worked with my 828. I love the interface, but I'm about to have to write off MOTU for their driver issues.... that's a shame.

Damn freezes with this interface and doesn't even support standby mode properly, at least it worked on Vista 32 somewhat. MOTU, GO MAKE BETTER DRIVERS. GODDAMN. This whole Firewire thing is flawed anyway. Why should a Firewire device crash the whole system?? same here, motu 828 original with a fresh install of Vista 64 on AMD X2 64 3800+, nForce 6100/430 Chipset (AsRock NF6G-DVI) = FREEZE on turning the interface on.
