While
kobe has the annoyance of disconnect/connect on restarting his computer, I'm seeing 0x0000007E errors every time any of my multiple
USB-UIRT units connect. If connected, the system immediately generates a BSOD as Windows loads.
This wasn't a real problem when I had oversaturated my USB with devices with my Vista Ultimate x64. (Or my older XP builds)
However, I've built a new system with Windows 7 x64 RC1. In the process of moving devices from my old PC to the new one, I unplugged a few other USB devices from the Vista build. I immediately began getting 0x0000007E errors.
It wasn't until I removed the USB-UIRTs that I could get a successful boot.
(This system was functionning for the last 1.5 years without BSOD).
When I powered up the new Win7 box, I immediately began to see this exact error message with the USB-UIRT connected. The problem goes away when I unplug the USB-UIRT.
Now,
the interim solution is to change the maximum memory setting under msconfig's advance option to 4095 as indicated by
nappysolo.

Now, the system seems stable. However, it means that I've had to sacrifice half of the memory. (BTW, removing memory sticks would also work.)
The main advantage of the x64 systems is the ability to address more memory.
So, Jon...What is the prospect of getting a fully working device driver to support x64 (and 8GB RAM) with the USB-UIRT? (Which, I've been happy with for the last few years...Since my original XP builds)
Limiting RAM to 4GB isn't a good solution, but while the wheels spin, it is the ONLY option. After all, x64 is gaining ground as new systems get introduced. It's not a problem that will go away without a resolution.
Thanks,
