Hi Zygi! I can vouch for Dblue glitch working fine over the last hour or so on my XP comp with Live7.

Glad you found a resolution leejones, but i must say i am quite surprised that we had two completely different solutions for the same symptoms! Either way, this is awesome, I am LOVING Live and can't wait to upgrade to version 8!

24 hours later and still no crashes- bloody legend!

HOLY SHIT LEEJONES are you running an nvidia 8000 or 9000 series graphics card? right click desktop display properties settings advanced troubleshoot and TURN OFF HARDWARE ACCELERATION. Thanks to GJM, my ableton has NOT CRASHED for over an HOUR now, and im throwing everything ive got at it ...

GJM, if i wasnt such a HETERO i would be violently making out with you right now. I know it's early days, but i've been throwing TONNES of shit at live for the past hour without a SINGLE CRASH/GLITCH or ANYTHING!!! How the Hell can it be, after all this months, something as simple as my graphics ...

I am indeed running a GEFORCE 8800GT graphics card. will track down the Hardware acceleration slider and see if it helps. Thanks very much for your feedback gjm!

Hi gjm! I am indeed running the Nvidia Geforce 8800GT Graphics card; these cards and or similar seem to be consistent with people having the same problem. I just find it hard to swallow that a graphics card could be the source of the issue? What are the repercussions of having this card?

Hi everybody! Josh here.

I am continuing to have crashes/sound dropouts/freezes less than five minutes into any project i make in Ableton Live7.

I am using a Q6600 Intel Quad core computer with a Focusrite Saffire Pro 26/IO mixer running through a 'OHCI Compliant IEEE 1394 Host Controller' PCI ...

Hi LeeJones! That's a phenomenal breakthrough. I'm stoked that you may have found a solution!

The interesting thing is, I, too have discovered I can run onboard sound using ASIO4ALL drivers without any problems in Ableton. The bad news is, im quite dependent on my Saffire for not just super low ...

Hi LeeJones! MY saffire pro appears to work fine with zero crashes with ableton live on a friends XPS Dell laptop system (did not get to test extensively, but tried to throw everything i could at it and got much further than i can on my machine). I've tried a new USB cable but no luck; i dont have ...

Hi LeeJones! Thanks very much for getting back to me.

The great news is, I've done some research, and the Q6600 is not only compatible with Live, but i hear its a great choice. This means its not likely our processors are the source of the problem!

The important thing to remember is WE ARE NOT ...

Further to our previous attempts to fix this, could THIS be a problem?

from all the research i have been doing,this is what i have come up with...

Okay, i can now CONFIRM that live will STILL crash even with the vst folder disabled. What a bummer! I'm really starting to run out of ideas, so many other people suggest that the Q6600 runs FINE on their machines. Other suggestions in those previous threads were to try and avoid IRQ sharing (this ...

Hell Davo6. I am having the exact same problems with my Q6600 Intel processor, and interestingly, Jok's suggestion to disable the custom plug-ins folder appears to have worked for me, as i am yet to be able to make Ableton crash. However, other's still have told me that this has NOT solved the ...
