I finally got it to work. I plugged the ext. hard drive into my desktop and the info box
asked to install ASIO driver. I clicked on UA700 and it installed. I loaded files for a gig
on Fri. night and played a few tunes. Everything worked great using the ext. drive.
When I opened the " C " drive the ASIO was installed and worked without a problem.
Next I plugged the ext. drive into my laptop and loaded a song and the " Access Error " popped up. I changed from ASIO to the MME driver and it played, albeit badly. I rebooted the computer and it played with the MME driver. After a couple of tunes I installed the ASIO and it actually worked. I don't understand what the secret was but it WORKS.

It is nice to know that help is available and knowledgeable people take the time. I have
read the forum every day and never really needed help. I would like to give a special
" Thank You " to Mac, Noel , Silvertones and Andrew.
