Topic: Issue with ESS Maestro driver

I've been having issues with my new XP disc freezing at the infamous 34 minutes to go. I tracked this down using the logs to the sound driver installation. The apparently (It never behaved like this for me) normal windows fix is for it to log problem drivers and when you restart it skips them - thing is, it always froze before logging the problem, so it would never progress.

I got the install to complete by bringing up a command prompt and removing the directory before it started installing drivers, the directory being (IIRC) c:\d\s\e, containing the ESS Maestro drivers.

The machine I'm installing on is an old Toshiba Portege 7200 laptop with docking station. All driverpacks are current as of Jan 31st.

...interestingly, I expected to have to install the sound manually afterwards, but it seems to be installed already.

Can you post your HWID list and provide a link to drivers that are known to work?
