I was talking to Morgan today about computers. Since my Paris rig has been
amazingly stable for the last few years, I was really surprised when it
started giving me problems last weekend. He made the comment that audio DAWs
seem to be almost human and have personalities. I have noticed this too on
my native machine, but not wo much with Paris. The problem I was having was
a problem I've always been able to solve involving just reseating a cable
between the master EDS card and the MEC. We'll this didn't work on repeated
ovccasions and I finally just threw up my hands.

Well, I just restored a Ghost image of an old install and it is back up and
running. What seems to have happened is that I changed from Matrox to NForce
video cards. the rig was extremely stable. Then I decided to do an
experiment and so I removed the original NForce video card and replaced it
with a similar model card GE Force 5500 dual head, but it was not an
*NVidia* model, it was by another manufacturer. I started having some wierd
glitches which required me to uninstall/reinstall and chase my tail around
for a while (I posted about this on another thread last weekend). Well, it
seems that this was what caused Paris to start misbehaving. Apparently the
driver snafu somehow affected the ability of the Paris.ini to initialize the
MEC on card A. I have recreated the problem exactly and fixed it by a simple
uninstall/reinstall of Paris..sooo.the moral to this story is if you start
having what appear to be mechanical problems, the first thing you should do
is uninstall/reinstall the Paris app. I'm hoping this will also fix my car
too.
