To some degree, Tascam's driver issues have been MS Windows issues. I personally stopped using the US-428 and switched to the FW-1884 because of driver problems (the us-122 uses the same driver as the us-428).

In a nutshell, if you can get the driver to install and stick, then it works, as long as you can put up with Windows hanging up on shut if you leave your us-122 turned on. Turn it off and there is no problem.

But the rub is getting the driver to stick. The problem being that the us driver is not signed for some of the windows systems. There was a way to get windows to take an unsigned driver, but Redmond did a patch that made Windows kick the unsigned driver even if you were able to trick it into loading it at first.

The signature on the various us drivers was done by Frontier, the designer of the us-122.

I'll do some searching and see if I can remind myself what the trick was to get Vista to accept an unsigned driver. I don't think it works any longer but it's probably worth a try.
