here is what microsoft tells me when i send the error report....

Blue screen error caused by a device or driver
You received this message because a hardware device, its driver, or related software has caused a blue screen error. This type of error means the computer has shut down abruptly to protect itself from potential data corruption or loss. In this case, we were unable to detect the specific device or driver that caused the problem.

Part of the answer is right there then isn't it? Use Aksys in isolation if you have to...

ok so i turned on aksys by itself and let it sit for about 10 minutes.computer restarted itself again.so its not just the adobe/aksys combination.(which i have ran for years on this computer with no problems,until now)
the computer restarts with just aksys open.

p.s.
i have tried the back usb's,the back usb's.with the same result.

well im almost certain now its the akai.i talked to microsoft on the phone and they directly connected to my computer.it rebooted itself while he was connected so when the blue screen came up it gave the exact problem.

driver_IQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

stop error

akmpc4ku.sys

etc,etc.

basically saying the drivers are corrupt.so we uninstalled them (again),cleaned out the registry of any akai things,and he told me to reinstall in a few hours.(after playing around on the computer without the aksys on it.)

so ill re-install in a few hours and see what happens.although i have done that several times already.anyone else ever have this problem?

Isn't there another piece of software out there that the 4k can use for this?

Dumb question, but I have to ask... Did you try it without the hub? It is highly recommended not to use a hub (you can find other posts on this). I know it caused me problems, so now I use a cable extender when needed.

Different cable?
Different computer?
Did it used to work?

i alway had the problem of aksys crashing and saying that my usb was unplugged..
i found thru trial and error that it crashes alot less when i
1) save the samples to the mpc usabale memory before sending to my computer
2)smaller files

still crashes sometimes but alot less.
