New Driver Install

If I am running AO 1.40 (or 2.0) and want to install a new USB driver do I need to run the service tool to uninstall AO, load the driver and then reinstall AO?

 

I installed the USB driver for my Marantz SA8005 without uninstalling AO and things seemed to be fine but when I rebooted the computer the driver wasn't working. I needed to uninstall it, reboot and then reinstall it to get it to work. I am not sure if this has to do with running AO.

Hi David

 

The ServiceTool does not uninstall AO. If you do a reset using the ServiceTool, it will also not disable AO's optimizations. All it does is that it will re-enable the disabled drivers and services and the application compatibility layer, but nothing more.

 

Basically you do not need to do a reset via ServiceTool to update or install a new driver. But should the driver need compatibility mode, then yes you need to do a reset via ServiceTool, then update the driver, then re-run AO.

 

Best,

Phil

Phil, thanks for the explanation. I use the servicetool mostly to change between GUI and core. And I always rerun AO after going back to core. I think the instructions say to do that.
