I just bought a TASCAM US 144 but I cannot install the driver. I have a decent laptop, 2GB mem, XP SP2 etc.
I put the CD in, then asks to attach the USB to PC, but then my laptop says cannot recognise the hardware and then I get timeout error: 0x0005.
I tired all the USB ports and the green light on the US 144 comes up green and remains constant. the freakin thing does not want to install! I even tried later driver from TASCAM.
I am in UK and bought this from US, so taking it back to dealer is out of question! Need help and would really appreciate that
Go to device manager and verify that the ports are powered. Windows has as a default that if no USB is detected after a prescribed time, that they be powered down. (Without notification, I might add!) I would then change the parameters to where they are manually turned off and on to help the situation...accordianman

Hey guys, it's the same guy who's posted the original problem. I went to device manager and refreshed the usb drives. then did it again. what happened nex was interesting. first the same message came up saying can't install but after a while, it did install it. so wait and ignore the message.
next time i connected it, i had to connect to thesame exact USB port. make sure your other usb ports are not busy.
someone also suggested USB2 hob with external power supply to boost the power. might help
finally, i am seling my TASCAM! bought BOSS 1600CD recording studio which rocks
Good luck
