Installation FAQs

For Windows

When I plug in my M-164UF, Windows Hardware Wizard appears

but is unable to install the drivers. How do I install the drivers?

The driver installation must be started before plugging in your

M-164UF. If you have already plugged it in without the drivers

being installed, simply unplug the unit, exit all hardware wizard

windows, and then launch the driver setup program. If you are

using the CD-ROM that came with your unit, inserting it should

automatically launch a menu that gives you the option to install

the drivers. Select “Install Drivers” and follow the on-screen

instructions. If you have downloaded drivers from TASCAM’s

web site, extract all the files from the ZIP archive to temporary

folder and then launch “Setup.exe” and follow the on-screen

instructions.

When I insert the installation CD-ROM into my Windows

computer, it does not automatically launch a menu. How can I

launch this menu?

It is possible that the CD-ROM autorun feature has been

disabled on your computer. You can launch the installation

menu manually by opening the CD-ROM in Windows Explorer

and double-clicking the file: Autorun Menu.exe.

For Windows and Mac OS X

Which should I update first, the firmware or the driver?

It is best to update to the latest driver first, and then update the

firmware.

How do I update my unit's firmware?

Simply download the latest firmware updater application from

TASCAM’s web site, launch it, plug your M-164UF into your

computer, turn it on and wait for the unit to be detected by the

updater application, and then press the “write firmware” button.
