props to you my friend. I was installing my m-audio firewire solo card in hackintosh and it did some automatic firmware update that crashes halfway and I thought my card was toast. I booted into my Win2k3 partition and used orca to install the sound card drivers that were otherwise not compatible and the firmware update completed and ressurected my expensive hardware. Thanks!

This hack is awesome! Thank you very much. You saved me a ton of time. I don’t know why Windows didn’t just allow compatibility mode for msi’s as well.

You’re welcome. It is pretty universal and should apply to all MSI’s on all Microsoft operating systems. Glad it worked.
