error window. ma003dmn Save Failed.

Question

I get this window each time I boot up or reboot my system.  How do I correct this?  Thanks, momofvcr.

Answer 1

Hi momofvcr,

• Did you make any hardware or software changes to the computer lately?
• Are you using any M-Audio device?

That seems to be a common error while using an M- Audio device. I would recommend you to update the drivers for this device in the Device Manager.

Method 1. You can check in the Device Manager if an M-Audio device is listed there:

1. Click on start and go to Control panel and then click on System and Maintenance.
2. Now click on device manager.
3. Go to sound, video, and game controllers in the device manager
4. Right-click on the M-Audio device and choose update driver.
5. Try updating the drivers automatically and check if it does not find any driver, download the driver manually from the manufacturers website and install it manually.

For more information on updating drivers refer to the following article:

Method 2.

If this does not help in resolving the issue, perform a clean boot troubleshooting to find the conflicting software.
