I don't understand why M-Audio set new products on the market without getting drivers for all os? I can't believe that from M-Audio..... Dam, from mauritius!

(that would have been optimal). 2. documentation doesn't list in table of contents. a. look under "what's in the box", says 12 v, but how many amps? b. look under "technical info". oh that describes your trademarks? c.ok. found it under "before you connect your ProKeys88". it says 12V 500mA. d. went out and bought it. plugged it in, nothing. dead. didn't work. e.went online. rambled through your website trying to decipher your horrible UI. finally find page that says ProKeys 88 requires 9V 500 mA. contradicts the manual. whatever. what else can i do but try and buy it? e. ok. put in shopping cart. now i have to register to buy it. did that. now the shopping cart is empty. this is the worst UI. finally trick the UI into letting me buy it. but it does not itemize what i bought. hope it's the 9V power supply. uhoh. fingers crossed. what a horrible experience. it’s very cool that niels larsen from m-audio is posting to this site.

2. documentation doesn’t list in table of contents.
a. look under “what’s in the box”, says 12 v, but how many amps?

b. look under “technical info”. oh that describes your trademarks?

c.ok. found it under “before you connect your ProKeys88″. it says 12V 500mA.

d. went out and bought it. plugged it in,
nothing. dead. didn’t work.

e.went online. rambled through your website trying to decipher your horrible UI. finally find page that says ProKeys 88 requires 9V 500 mA. contradicts the manual. whatever. what else can i do but try and buy it?

Just follow these easy steps:

In the start menu click on “run” then type “regedit” without qoutes
then find the following reg entries:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Windows]
“CSDVersion”=dword:00000300

Change the value to “200″ then it will look like this “CSDVersion”=dword:00000200″

NEXT FIND:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion]
“CSDVersion”=”Service Pack 3″

and change to “CSDVersion”=”Service Pack 2″

NOW RESTART COMPUTER
INSTALL DRIVER

You definitely can remove SP1; it's in add/remove Windows features I think. But you can't "remove" 64-bit -- you need to reinstall 32-bit Vista. 32-bit Vista SP1 should work just fine.

I so wish I had waited for the Alesis MasterControl to be released in September delayed due to the development of decent drivers I suspect. I had no idea I was entering the world of the sad M-audio user. I bought a new core 2 quad PC with Vista 64 to run Sonar in 64bit and 4gbs of ram to see it fly. Only to find (yes) no drivers for the PM. So I bit the bullet and downgraded to Vista 32 which came with SP1 as all new boxes do. So now I find audio glitching on record and that it may be some time before the current Microsoft primary OS is supported. Unbeleeeeevvvaaabbblleee!!!!!! Absolutley pathetic is one way to describe it. Verging on suicide from a business point of view is another. A slap in the face for the user and buyer. I can't downgrade to Vista 32 as I cannot remove SP1. The sp1 upgrade does not appear in the remove update facility. I can't buy XP professional anymore as Msoft have ceased supply. I deeply regret the £725 I spent on this useless doorstop and I to Challenge Niels Larsen to help me and the many other users left stranded by their complacent attitude to customers and driver development. SP1 and 64bit Vista support 'are some way off' well I wish I was from m-audio products. I strongly suspect that the SP1 and 64 beta drivers don't exist in any form. I am a recent Projectmix buyer.

M-Audio should be working with Apple (and Microsoft) to have drivers ready AT LAUNCH, or within a month. 10.6 was announced at WWDC this month (HINT: get the dev kit guys!) and 10.5.4 is just around the corner, I'd like to think the updated PMIX driver for 10.5.3 will be out before 10.5.5 or 10.6!
