You don't need the SP to be plugged in to install the Drivers. Once the drivers are installed the comp will recognize the SP. Did you get a manual with the SP unit?

As I said - install the drivers BEFORE plugging in th SP. The SP is not plug and play :lol:

Did you get a manual?

I don't have the 606, but I do know that a rule of thumb is to install the drivers first before installing any hardware, even USB stuff.

You can get a manual from Roland's Web site. You will need a "Backstage Pass" account, which costs no money, in order to download any instruction manuals. Click on the black R ticket graphic once you've made your account then click the button marked Product Manuals.

It has nothing to do with the USB port, I'm pretty sure :wink:

Until you install the driver the Computer will not 'detect new hardware'.

I think you need to get a manual for your SP-606. It's not the best manual but it will help a good deal with this sort of problem..
