GTXP Drivers ETA From: CFC Date: 2002-09-12 (14:50)

Due to some last minute issues reported by users about the WHQL drivers (available through Windows Update for Windows XP users), the decision was taken to postpone the release of the GTXP drivers until the beginning of next week (September 16-20) in order to resolve these issues.

Thank you for patience.

The upcoming drivers will feature the following improvements and fixes.

- Improved performance & stability (notably with Win XP).

- Memory management, stream-lined registry handling.

- DSP resource usage improved.

Help to resolve the tracking problems & improves compatibility with MiniDiscs recorders.
