Hi everyone,
I have owned a paris system since just before it got discontinued by emu (doh!). I love it but some of the issues I have with it are frustrating.
I had it stored while I moved. built a project studio space and now am resurrecting the system to record some demos for my band and improve my recording and mixing skills.
I just registered on this site recently but had checked in occasionally in the past just to see if the paris commumnity was alive and kicking! I am impressed by all the work that has been done by you guys to keep it going!
I have a few issues I hope you can help with. I have looked at the wiki page but haven't seen the exact issues listed, though some are similar: I will give some details on my rig, then a few questions: I had someone build me a new machine back in the day:
Windows XP, home edition version 2002, service pack 2
AMD athlon 1.14 ghz (single core I believe) 1 GB RAM
Paris 3.0
2 paris eds1000 cards, 1 8in on the master mec
I believe the driver I have is dated 7/30/2002. version 3.0.3.0, is this Beta 3?

1) Do I need to update to service pack 3 for XP?
2) I suspect I need to update my driver. What version do you recommend for my system? I will gladly purchase it.
3) I get a blue screen error like "driver_corrupted_mmpool" "beginning physical memory dump" (I don't like my machine "dumping"). This sometimes occurs upon exit, or the program locks and I have to shut down the computer. I will get this message: paris.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry...and so on. Then the blue screen message noted above.
4) Another error I get(most often in the editor window I think) : assertion failed file cache.c:462offset>=0&&off<p->count.
5) Has any one experienced this this: Upon booting paris, (and this happens only randomly, not every time) I get a loud repetitive chirping coming from my powerered monitors, but it stops after I open a project, and things generally work fine after that. It comes out of the headphone jack as well I think.
6) More issues seem to occur after I've been editing a while, is this common?

Any help will be appreciated. It seems updating the driver might be the first step?
p.s. I should probably mention that I bought a eds card from east coast music mall when I was expanding my system, and when I received it, it was covered with this white scale, as if it had literally been sitting on the east coast, I mean on the beach. I paid quite a bit for it too. I cleaned it as best I could and installed it, as I didn't know if I would find another one, at that time, and it seemed to work so I kept it.
Thanks in advance for any advice!
Sincerely, John

Heya John - I'm sure one of the gurus will be by shortly but welcome to the forums! Mike Audet's revamped, debugged and expanded drivers are available at his website (link in the header above) and although your existing drivers will work fine his do come with that rarest of PARIS treasures, one we'd almost forgotten about: tech support Smile

Grab the new driver from Mike, he's spent years just making it better.
I will dare to say his new Win 7 driver is the most stable PARIS driver yet.

Thank you Kerry and Will, and Mike as well!
Mike emailed me and gave me some suggestions.
I am going to work on implementing them and then download his latest driver and I'll go from there.
Again, I am very impressed with your work on this site. Thanks for keeping it and Paris going.

John
