Are you of the firm opinion that 5.5b is not a good idea with Win98SE. Certainly without the Midiman connected we have had excellent results with it and...
... Well, I'm running a Win2K machine with 5.5b on Win2K and a MIDIMan 2x2 USB interface. The machine runs 24/7 in a theme park. When the show is cycling ...
... I have only tried 5.50b and win 98se in lab situations but when I did it played and faded 8 stereo wavs and a list of midicues fireing one cue every 0.1sec...
... Oh forgot this one. 5.50a has been running with timecode for 6 month here at our theatre without any problems. The only thing is that the cues has to have...

... Hi Ronald, I can't give you hard data on this, I'm afraid, and although Carlton has suggested that upgrading to 5.50b might push an already taxed computer ...
... I had this problem too, but didn't know that it was an SFX problem- thought it had something to do with Timbuktu... will this patch be available soon to...
Heyas I'm looking for an (very) inexpensive MIDI triggering device with a push button to execute the MIDI signal, kinda like a second "GO" button. It will ...
Hi - Just bought SFX Pro Audio - I'm hoping to run it on a PII 400 MHz computer- 288 MB RAM, Win98SE. Though the manual says 100 MHz is fine, the software says...
Although Win98SE is not the best OS, nor is a PII for audio, you should be fine if you do not have very complex cues. I prefer to have clients use WinXP or...

You all know what I think by now! I'd advise Heather not to use Win98 with SFX 5.50b! Also, as trailed in earlier posts, I have just done a show using a PIII ...
Well, I've not had this issue with SFX 5.50b and Win98SE. I've got a system that runs 15 hours a day that's 5.50b on Win98SE with a PIII500. Seems to behave....
It's part of Microsoft's new antipiracy thing. Basically when you first set up the machine it authorizes the OS with Microsoft. If too many things on the...
Heather, I still regularly use my old Pentium 166MHz (non MMX) system for smaller shows. Running 98SE, 128MB RAM, SFX 5.5a, with SCSI-2 hard disks. I can ...

All I can tell you, Drew, is that Win98 didn't work for me, and changing the OS to WinXP made it work. With all due respect to Carlton and Brad, after many...
Just to add to Paul's post, as it was explained to me Windows XP uses the identification of seven components to determine what machine it's installed on....
Okay SFX'ers, here's a problem that has never happened to me before: The system is a PIII-933, with 640mb memory, a fast ATA 100 hard disk, SFX Pro Audio 5.5b,...
Could it be something as silly as something was resting on the keyboard? The "graphic" go button is a MDI window which when it has focus sends the key being...
Drew, Not to create any waves, or back up Microsoft tactics, but I don't think the registration will be as much of an issue as you might think. From what I...
That's a really scary approach by M$. When will companies learn that strict antipiracy methods like this only harm honest users. Pirates will learn how to...
Could it have been a bad mouse? I tend to rely on keystrokes for my GO commands, rather than the onscreen GO buttons. Too much chance for error. -- Jeremy...
Here's a question for everyone... I've got a show that goes into tech this weekend, then we have 1-1/2 weeks in the hall before 1st dress (gotta love rotating...

depending on your setup can you get a hold of an echo mia? the card has eight virtual outputs mixed to two real outputs, would be great for this application. ...
In SFX just setup your patch (Cues->Patch) so that all your wave devices are going to the same sound card. That is: Group 1-> Sound Card 1 Group 2-> Sound...
I know that the big three items will trigger a reauth, and I understand that to a degree. But let me give you an example of what can happen on some of these....
Thanks to Jeff Knapp for the probable cause. I did not check the keyboard and it was in a position that it could have had keys inadvertently pressed. It's...
