iCon cube6 nano help

Hey all, digital recording newb back again...

So i was able to get my hands on an iCon Cube 6 nano interface. I was warned in my first/last question that the interface might be the tough part and that is proving correct! I wont go i to all the reasons why i went with the icon over say a focusrite, but that is what i am working with.

Computer has 64bit windows 10. The cube turns on, my computer recognizes that it is connected, but always comes up as *driver error*. It is of note that i do not have a cd rom on my computer so havent used the cd that came with it, this might be the problem? Either way, i went online to download the driver, which worked fine...unzipped and installed driver. But now it just seems like the computer will always use the windows audio driver and will not use the one i downloaded. I cant figure out how to make the box connect! Anyone else using this interface (doesnt seem like its popular, which makes me thing i shouldnjust return it and get a focusrite model). Anyways, im sure it will work fine if i can just get it to work, hahahahaha.

Edit to add that im trying to use pro-tools first, which i already have installed and wis working fine (able to record and playback my voice with the computer audio)

Thanks for any thoughts or experience. Enhjoy your sunday
 
Oh man, i hate to reply to my own threads but, after reading a couple more things online more closely, i think that perhaps the cd included has ProDriver VST software. Is this maybe the *routing software* that i saw mentioned in another thread? So the software will switch the drivers maybe?

Theres no way to manually apply the icon drivers without using that cd? Could i just copy that cd onto a flashdrive and then use that to i stall without a cd drive?

I just got this last night and ended up getting frustrated after an hour so had to pick up the bass and take out my aggression!! But today im gonna get this sorted....
 
ok, i replied to myself twice, but....it works!! hopefully soon i can post a small clip of my noise making to torture you all. i'm just happy i was able to get it working!!

so yeah, it was just the cd. flashed it to a usb and installed the software, fired right up.

so next question...how do i delete projects in pro tools first?! hahahaha, just kidding.

have a good one all!
