getting windows 7 to see fireface 800

[PaulH]

I have downloaded the drivers for windows 7 but my machine still doesn't recognize my fireface 800.

my old machine broke, and that was windows xp. the firewire worked on that machine.

anyone have any experience with this?

thanks,
Paul

this seems to have worked. but it's still looking for a reverb but i have downloaded it into the native plug in folder.
