So I hate for my first post to be a rant... but sometimes there isnt much you can do. Here goes.
I recently purchased a new laptop. Like any self-respecting nerd - the first thing I did was re-install 64-bit windows vista ultimate to get rid of all of the random crap that dell put on there. Everything was going smoothly until I try to install the drivers for my Line 6 Toneport. I download the latest drivers from their website, go to install them and I get a message saying that the drivers are not compatible with 64-bit.
What the hell.
So I do some internet searching on the issue. Turns out that the Line 6 currently has no plans to support 64-bit drivers and there are no work arounds. Now I'm no rocket science, but it seems like I would be pretty easy to put out something that would run in 32-bit mode, even if their drivers dont support 64-bit operations. Apparently Line 6 likes to alienate the teach saavy and growing population of users of 64-bit.
Well looks like I will be downgrading to 32-bit and never ever buying another Line 6 product again.
