These threads never cease to baffle me. When I read the title and saw the number of pages, I thought "aha! - that explains my horrible experience with my new, now returned laptop!". But then again, when you're at the final page of one of these threads, there's always a lot of people having no issues at all, and I'm none the wiser: was it my new computer hardware? Was it Windows 7? Was it the 8.2.2 update (which I installed for the first time on this new laptop)?
During Easter, I've had the first opportunity in months to actually sit down and really get some work done, on my desktop computer, running Live 8.2 on Windows XP, and I haven't had as much as a hiccup, and I've tossed quite a few plugins on it: my current project uses Massive, FM8, a bunch of Sylenth1, in addition to several Operators and Samplers. I've got a gazillion tracks, and - knock on wood - everything is running so smoothly that it's really made things FUN again.
I know I could install 8.2.2 on this computer, just to try it out, but then again, I don't particularly see the need for it, as it would be tantamount to fixing something that isn't broken.
