Hi,

Try deleting your preferences,cfg file from that location, that should work:

# Windows (Live 4 and later versions): C:/Documents and Settings/your user name/Application Data/Ableton/Live/Preferences
# Mac OS X: /User/Library/Preferences/Ableton

Kind regards,
Amaury

if youre on windows vista, youre looking for the Users folder.

so try C:/Users/your user name/Application Data/Ableton/Live/Preferences


have you moved or deleted the pagefile.sys file from your C: drive, or changed your virtual memory settings recently?

No, it's not anything you download... it's part of Windows. To be more exact, it's the part of a drive Windows puts aside for virtual memory.

Go to control panel/system/advanced/performance/advanced. What are your virtual memory settings at?
