I know how you feel hduk.

My 4 year old UX2 works flawlessly on my old custom built XP Pro 32 box. Win 7 64 Home Premium is a different story all together.  After 5 less than successful installs I've lost hope. The Win 7 machine is a HP Pavillion dv7 notebook that has the IDT HD Audio Codec and Control Panel preinstalled. I think the IDT driver and the TonePort driver conflict with each other. But I'm not sure. After installing the TonePort on Win 7 I would have any programs including GearBox crash. It's really not the programs I don't think. What really crashes are rundll32.exe and Shell32.dll. Things would get so bad that the control panel and windows explorer would hang. The Line 6 uninstaller would hang as well (not surprisingly) and leaves line6 dlls, inf files (l6tpux2 or other such in the names) other line 6 associated junk and registry items behind. I had to manually delete the Line 6 control panel so it wouldn't show in the windows control panel.

I would also have the problem with clicks and pops as well no matter what settings I tried in the line 6 control panel.

I bought the laptop to replace the XP machine. The XP machine isn't going to last forever (eventually the CPU, BIOS, or Northbridge will croak). And what's sadder is I would love to get back to doing some home recording again. But with these Win 7 64 and Line 6 device issues are what I'm going to be plagued with, doing any recording is not a possibility. I hope the Line 6 programmers and delovopers are hard at work on creating compatible drivers. This is rediculous. I tried twice on installing the driver according to the most relevant canned KB/Support articles (useless).

I also tried installed my TonePort this way:

I installed the latest driver. Being, 4.0.2.7

Then installed and ran Monkey (which seems dated considering I updated to the 1.33 version during the later part of last year, when I used the TonePort on the XP)

Then Monkey had me download the latest version of GearBox (which I read the fine print and noticed it includes an older driver which I didn't install)

After installing GearBox I opened the windows control panel, opened the Line 6 control panel and noticed the older driver installed anyway, although Monkey showed the newer driver being installed.

According to Monkey the firmware seems severely behind the times (1.0.1 I think)

Anyway... no matter how you install anything I start off with , pops clicks, and dropouts (I will admit moving the slider in the Line 6 control panel farther to the right cleared that up), but sooner than later I would experience the rundll32.exe and shell32.dll crashes. But oddly never a BSOD.

I am not willing to have to do any major hotrodding to this Win 7 comp. I just bought it this April and not wanting to risk voiding the warranty. This laptop works fine otherwise but not while having my UX2 installed.

you would think that after me buyimg 4 of they''re differant units , that they might care I huy my next four elsewhere, not so muh as supply
