Oh sorry those are the same. There's a newer one. I meant to post "or this one"

I have the old version.. the changes are cosmetic and also I think the ability to name inputs and outputs on the newer version.
in the express xt every input is connected to the PC and every output is available to the pc at all times. clockworks is used to cross connect inputs to outputs as a midi cross connect switch.
when you launch clockworks the gui is about 4"x4" and if empty, go to the file menu and select "express xt"
if for some reason the display is blank, power cycle the unit and try again...
dunno if any of this helps but...

It's not allowing me to select anything except "re-scan" and the ME is not showing anywhere. However I know there's a midi signal because I opened a synth got sound. I just need to be able to assign it. Sorry I have not gotten the screen shot thing down. So I'll do the 5th grade way.

I re-installed the drivers still not showing in clockworks or Sonar. Yet I'm playing a synth as I type. It's not even showing in my Device manager if it should? My FW-1884  & the 828MKII does. Gets quite frustrating when all you wanna do is turn your gear on and create some music.

It should be there under USB devices.

Yea, there must be something with installing these drivers & Windows 8. Every piece of hardware I attempt to install on Windows 8 gives me tons of problems. I would like to get this installed so I can get my RME installed. But I don't need to fighting that many battles at once.

Here's what it looks like for me (Win 8.1 Pro 64 bit)

What drivers did you use? Did you do anything special to get it to install? It has to  be in my installation process. Tho I did not move to 8.1. Kind of scared I may do it before installin the RME

The  drivers are right here:

Honestly - I didn't do anything special. Mind you, I've had to reinstall a few things since upgrading to Windows 8 (whenever something doesn't work right - I re-install it - which helps a lot) and also Win 8.1.
 
I was getting some SONAR crashed last year - and reinstalled the MOTU drivers - and it's been fine since, so a reinstall never does any harm.

Maybe I'll just move to 8.1 first then try a fresh reinstall. Just scared about my tascam fw-1884 that thing was brutal trying to install
