    Hi everyone!

    I have a dell xps m1330 with vista home premium installed and have spent
    many hours trying to get the MOTU 896 firewire audio interface to work (I need
    to record a CD for my school project), however vista doesn't seem to recognize the device(I have installed the newest drivers and firmware)
    Now I've heard the Ricoh chipset drivers are a big problem with Dell laptops, however I wasn't able to find a solution to this problem.. Any ideas on what I should do?
