Frequently asked installation questions and 

answers (FAQ) 

Windows driver installation 
Q:  When I connect the unit to a computer, the Windows 

Hardware Wizard

 appears and I cannot install the driver. 

Am I making a mistake in the installation procedures?

A:   Close the Windows 

Hardware Wizard

 and disconnect 

the unit. You must install the driver before connecting 

this unit. Insert the CD-ROM included with the 

product. The menu for installing the driver appears 

automatically.

  Select 

Install Driver

, and follow the instructions shown 

on the screen. If you have downloaded the driver from 

the TASCAM website (htt://www.tascam.com), expand 

the ZIP archive, launch the 

setup.exe

 file, and follow 

the instructions on the screen. 

Q:  I loaded the installation CD-ROM into a Windows 

computer, but the driver installation menu does not 

appear. How can I access this menu? 

A:   The automatic playback settings for the disc drive 

might be disabled. 

  Open the CD-ROM using Windows Explorer, and 

double-click the 

Autorun2.exe

 file to manually open 

the installation menu. 

Settings on your computer

Here are a few basic points to help you set up your 

computer for best performance with audio applications.

Do not run other applications. You will probably use 

• 

your computer for applications other than audio, 

but we recommend that you avoid running other 

applications at the same time you are running 

audio programs. Processing digital audio places a 

considerable load on your computer. 

This means that if you are running other applications 

(especially graphics or Internet tools) at the same time 

as your audio application, the processing may not 

happen fast enough.
