Corrupt .als file and potential solution

Hi guys,

Live crashed while we were working on a set - any attempts to reopen the set caused Live to encounter serious program error, so we could never open the set again. The crash happened shortly after dragging in an mp3 and doing a few unrelated actions...

Fortunately we found a solution to this particular problem which might help others:

For Windows users:
1. Navigate to the "Documents and Settings\<user_account>\Application Data\Ableton\Live Recordings\Decoding Cache"
2. Delete one or more of the most recent external files that were dragged into the set.

Hope this helps anyone with the same kind of problem!
