Live won't kill it's self..on exit (RANT)

Live stops working crashes but the program is still running in task manager.. a total reboot is required..

I fixed it by using asio for all instead of my native sound drivers.

are you on windows? just go into processes(ctl+alt+delete) and go to prcesses tab and terminate it.

are you on mac? force application to terminate...

had that happen a few time on windows machine and did that, never had to reboot. never on the mac tho.

How does it not work? I mean the process still shows in the current running processes or it just freezes up your comp?

I had the same thing happen a while ago.

Make sure you're not running anything in corollary with Live that keeps running after you shut down Live or it crashes.

Also, make sure you're not running a Pirated copy of Live.

Does Live shut down properly when you shut it down?

Yeah. If the program is working ok then it will shut down ..Kill just fine.

Hi,

On windows, it happens that a driver prevents the Live process to be killed. Turn OFF or disconnect your MIDI controller/sound card, and the Live process should vanish.

Kind regards,
Amaury

I don't think it's related to the Trigger Finger, because it happens also with other devices. I believe it's a Windows problem, but we're looking at it on our side. Without much success so far.

XP and Vista will do this ..for me anyway.

at least I know a little bit more of whats going on now. Thanks all

I'm switching the TF to MIDI instead of USB just to see.

ZOMG! yes. on either my pc or laptop, if i've been running Live for a few hours, it won't close normally; it will crash.

That is to say, when I save and close, Live will only die after spamming End Task several times. It's like I have to choke it to death.

This has happened consistently on XP SP2; I don't remember if it happened on my Win2K, i want to say yes.

So fix this Ableton.
