I CAN ONLY START MICROSTUDIO IF I CHANGE THE COMPATIBILITY TO WINDOWS 98/ME. SURLY THIS NEW VERSION MUST RUN UNDER XP MY LAST VERSION 2.314 WORKED HAPPYLY IN XP. KEEP GETTING THE DREADED MESSAGE UP ASKING ME IF I WANT TO SEND THS TO MICROSOFT, WHICH I EVENTUALLY DID, NOT EXPECTING TO MUCH HELP FROM THEM THOUGH.
COULD SOMEBODY HELP.
BEEN TRYING NOW FOR 2 HOURS.

I have got around this problem by doing the following.
1. Set microstudio to run in compatibility mode win98/me then started microstudio.
2. Then went into drives and set the aspi drivers to use mtu installed drivers.
3. Exit from microstudio and restarted everthing working ok.
4. Changed the compatibility back to xp restarted and it seems to now be working fine.

Have not tried recording anything yet but at least I can open microstudio in xp.

I did however change my Yamaha scsi drive auto play off as well.
Perhaps this was not helping?
My aspi drivers are all up to date. Should I be using the mtu drivers or the default driver with my scsi drive.
My drive is the Yamaha CRW4416s worked fin with ver. 2.3
Thank you for your reply.

Brian,

I don't believe the problem is XP, I had the same problem with my Dell LapTop Inspiron 4100 but not with my Dell desktop that I've upgraded from Me to Xp.
I believe it has to do to with the Bios?

My solution was what you did, change the compatibility to 98.
