LynxTWO- Nuendo- please Help!!

Hi all,
I'm kinda new around here and in need of some help.....
I have got hold of a LynxTWO-B for trial to see if the quality is better than my MOTU 828 MKII.
I installed everything (the original floppy disk) as in the manual inserting the card first as advised. All seemed to go smoothly until I started Nuendo, it said, unable to find LynxTWO Asio Kernel Driver. Well I uninstalled the driver and started again, same thing. I then tried the new driver which is Vista compatible WMD, ( I am on WinXP PRO SP1) it went on and all seemed to go smoothly then .......the blue screen of death appeared saying "DRIVER CORRUPT MMPOOL" now I'm starting to smell something from my rear end :-)  I do tend to panic rather easily.

I installed that driver and went back to the original, same thing.
I also went into the Asio Multimedia setup page for Nuendo in hope that I could sort it from there but alas, unable to sync to card...what the hell is going on?

Any help from you pros would be greatly appreciated.  As you can see i am not really very technical so be easy with your answers and break it down for me please. If you have a step-by-step approach to a perfect Nuendo install that would be preferable I recon.

It would be good if anyone has experienced this before so you can talk me through the problem and sort it.

Many thanks in advance.

Hi Paul and thanks for the reply.
Tried that but Nuendo keeps looking for "LynxTWO asio kernel driver", what's that all about?
Can I somehow install or copy this file into the system so that Nuendo can see it?
all else seems fine with the install it's just when I try to assign the Lynx driver in the Nuendo driver setup page it comes up with that same warning..."unable to find..."
what next?
a swift reply would be appreciated as I have to give the card back to the shop soon and it would be a shame to not have heard the difference it can or cannot make to my sound.

yes David, it's the only Lynx driver in the list. It just can't find this damn file..."LynxTWO asio kernel driver"
What the hell is this and surely there must be a way to manually unstert it into the location it is searching for? Have you never heard of this file before?

Paul suggested I uninstall and re-instal your 057g.exe driver which I did and seemed more stable with complete sync lock up when tested in the Steinberg multimedia setup page, syncronization passed, simulation test passed, and audio system test passed.which the new driver failed on all of these. Then went in to Nuendo driver setup and same thing..."unable to find LynxTWO ASIO kernel driver"

This is a real bummer, I will have to give the card back in a few days and if I don't resolve this issue, you will lose a potential customer, plus I was really looking forward to trying out this card to compare it with my MOTU 828 MKII (which has no driver issues)

Anyhow if Paul or yourself, or anyone else for that matter who may have an answer to resolving this missing driver problem within the next day or so, please let me know, as i say it would be a shame to have had the card in my hands and not be able to try it out.

cheers

Paul I had had this error some time with my new computer.... I think I had
emailed you, unfortunately I don't remember the fix.
rsp

been checking my save email and dont' see it.
if I had to guess. I would say it involved reflashing the current firmware.
rsp

nope I am sure now, all I had to do was flash the card and restart..
if I had to reinstall the xp as much as I love lynx, it would be out of my
machine.
rsp

yeah I tried the original that came with the card on floppy then the 057g and then the new one...all the same results, Nuendo is just looking for this damn file. The best driver was the second one 057g.exe since all syncing outside of Nuendo was spot on. BUt in NUendo...well, no go!

Ah well, maybe it's just not meant to be. Perhaps I will try out Metric Halo or some other interface to get comparisons against my MOTU. It's just that with all the hype around the Lynx it would have been nice to try it out and see for myself/ But since no one seems to know what the hell is going on with this file that has suddenly landed from outer space, I should just call it a day.

I will however hold out till Monday perhaps Tuesday at a stretch in hope that Paul will find an answer to this missing file before handing it back to the store.

Any other thoughts from yourself or anyone on how I can replace this "LynxTWO asio kernel driver", please don't hesitate to get in touch, I sure would appreciate it.
cheers

By the way:

Which versiona nd build of Nuendo are you running?

"It most certainly has nothing to do with the firmware on the card."
and that's why I am NOT in tech support for a living :-)
