I'm not really 'blaming' anyone/anything so much as stating a fact - I have yet to get anything done with this box, other than sit around & troubleshoot computer, interface, and driver issues, which, as I said, is exactly what I was trying not to do. It's probably all my own fault, but that's what I mean when I say 'Don't underestimate the value of expertise'.
I have tried all the 64 bit drivers from Tascam's site. None worked properly. I received a response to my inquiry from Tascam stating those ARE the stable release drivers for 7x64. I found one setting in the interfaces control panel that helped signifigantly, but the CPU still breaks down under way, way too light a load (ie less than my .99GB ram XP box can handle easily).

http://www.sevenforums.com/drivers/75625-tascam-us-1641-x64.htmlI looked at that page but could not figure out how to apply it to my issue. Live should run fine in the OS, and I don't know how/if you can run a driver in compatability mode.
I also looked at Windows 7's XP Mode, but my version of the OS does not include it, and MS wants $199.99 to upgrade to a version that does.
