We are having all kinds of problems getting Paris 3.0 to work with XP Pro.
Originally we started using a Abit An8 with an nForce 4 chipset, AMD Athlon
64 X2 3800+, 2 GB ram, several hard drives and XP Pro. We use 1 Mec and 2
EDS 1000 cards, also a Matrox P650 dualhead pci-e video card. We followed
the installations tips for XP beta drivers, but no luck. Thinking maybe
Paris didn't like the new chipset, we switched m/b to a Asus A8V-E with a
Via chipset, still no go. Why is it, some people seem to get it working
with no troubles, and others can't seem to ever get it working? Also, what
should be seen in XP's device manager? The only things we see are a Ensoniq
MIDI driver. Is this indicative of a conflict? The error message we get is
Error 1/1: Can't initialize engine. They work just fine on the older pc
with Windows 98se. Need help guys.

Let's start here.
Ok, first thing is that I believe dual core/dual processors are kind of a no
no with Paris. Some Intel guys got it going, but I don't recall anyone
saying that they have AMD systems running dual successfully.
Next..... Matrox has been proving itself less and less of a friend to the
Paris user. Never never but NEVER use Matrox drivers from their website in a
Paris rig. Use WinXP standard built in ones, which might be a real issue for
you using a newer PCI-e card. See if Windows can detect and install native
driver support ON ITS OWN... not the matrox ones. If you already installed
those, you're probably hosed on that one. Once Windows gets a driver it
hangs on until the death (or system drive wipe, whichever comes first) and
hacking it out of there is a nightmare.
Saying that you are using a newer mobo, it does have the right PCI spec for
using Paris EDS cards, yes? Double check that is the case if you're not 100%
sure.
The EDS driver for WinXP now sits in the system, not the audio portion of
hardware manager. Midi will still be in it's usual place.
Error 1/1 means it doesn't connect to the hardware/see the hardware when you
start the Paris application. I'd follow that road first.
Could be all the above, might be any one of them alone... but, this gives
you things to try Lou.
G'luck!

Thanks for the tips. I just don't get why Matrox is such a pain. There
appears to be plenty of irq's and they are nice cards. Also, you mention
the pci specs... what pci spec do the EDS 1000 cards have? I believe the
new motherboard standard is v 2.2. Here are the exact steps we used to
install Paris:
1.) Extract Paris XP drivers/ then instal them.
2) Install PaceLoc
3) Install Paris 3.0
4) Install Subsystem.- same directory as Paris
Go to start up Paris and 'can't initialize the engine' error.

Turn on PNP OS in bios, also turn off USB, Parallel Port, Serial and anything
else you can till you get stable. Also make sure the cards come up on their
own IRQ. My MB manual was wrong on which slots share IRQs so all this time
mine was crashing due to IRQ conflicts. On boot up look at what IRQ's the
BIOS is putting them on. IRQ 3 works best for me. Then run the Schrezo
setup program to install the drivers, Install Paris and the FX subsystem
and you should be golden.
