That's what I use and my FaderPort and I have a better relationship than before!

Cool. I'll check it out shortly. Thank you.

I have tried azslows driver previously but not in relation to this this particular issue. Certainly worth a try!

Here is the recent post discussing this problem:

As I mention on that thread, for me this always ends up being an issue with something other than the FaderPort such as a missing/expired plug-in license.  It's weird since you'd think these things would be completely unrelated but I'd guess that somehow the initialization of the FaderPort conflicts with plug-ins that try to pop up license windows during initialization.
