I had to use compatibility mode to run the alpha track installer. right click.. run like windows seven or something like that

I won't be making the switch until proper Windows 8 drivers are available. I can run my MOTU gear, but I get regular crashes in the drivers.

In some cases the generic Windows drivers will be far more reliable (assuming they work with your system) as Microsoft tests them far more extensively nowadays. For my Roland Octapad for instance I have a choice of Roland USB MIDI drivers or Microsoft drivers for Win 7. I'm going with the Microsoft drivers as Roland only recommends using their drivers only if the OS drivers won't work (at least on one web page, the situation is confusing however). Sound cards - well that could be a different situation.

Hi  !!!!
He works !!!

X2. I have a line 6 ux8 I I don't know if I could download
The drivers from line 6 monkey. Can someone help I orderd a computer
And I'm not shure if I should go with windows 7 or windows 8. That my only interface and it works great..

@Chico

Line 6 support and user forums here, go Windows 8 if you can (otherwise you will probably want to upgrade later on and it will cost you more $$$ and hassle):

You need to find out if their drivers work.

Ironic that my M Audio Win 7 drivers worked fine, yet my Edirol Win 7 drivers did not, but the Vista driver for the Edirol did...

Which m-audio device do you have?


Thanks

I will be ordering Windows 8 to get the low introductory price, but I don't plan to install it for a while. I really like Windows 7. I have the Windows 8 RTM version on another computer and I must say I'm not crazy about it. The Metro screen is ok, but I'm not comfortable navigating around it yet. It will take a while to get used to. 


EDIT: I might change my mind on that. Apparently if you download Windows 8, but don't install it, you have to do a complete rebuild instead of an upgrade. I absolutely refuse to do a rebuild so.... 

I don't know about any of you but I'm going back to Windows 3.1 for workgroups. ;-)

I use a line six single port device. I runthe monkey thing in compatibility mode. I also have a fast track ultra. everything works with 7 drivers.
