I've never had this with any other version of live. Anyone else having similar problems?

I've recently experienced the first couple of bsod's I've had in years, tracked it down to the latest AVG 8.0 though, you wouldn't be running that by any chance would you? A known bug apparently, I put 7.5 on again and am now looking for a new AV prog.

I am running AVG. Version 7.5 though. It's been fine up until Live 7.05.

I'll look into using another anti virus.

Cheers for the info.

AVG 7.5 is fine, I'm not impressed with 8.0, it's quite invasive unfortunately so I'll probably give Avast! a try for a while.

It doesn't sound like it's related to your problem at all, what soundcard are you running?

I was wondering whether it is possible to get some idea of what changes are made to the manual each time there is an update. It is easy to tell when there are new chapters, but otherwise there seems no way to find out what is actually new from update to update?

As with 7.03 my Live set uses about 12-15% more CPU than in 7.02. Lots of pops and clicks when turing on and changing effects parameters...basically unuseable... back to 7.02 for me...

what about 7.0.5, it fixed a lot of similar issues i had with 7.0.3.

Yeah, same problems with 7.05. didnt use it for too long before jumping back to 7.02. so i dont know if other 7.03 bugs are still there. My set was using about 65% CPU in 7.05, and 60% is the cutoff point for me for Live performance. With 7.02 the same set uses 45-50%...

With 7.0.5 am having buffer problems when AU plugins are being used. If only audio set - no probs. VST plugs work fine and I can smoothly change buffer.

However with AU plug being used - when i try to change the buffer it sort of skips and the plugin interface flickers. some plugins flicker then get stablize - others crash the system. Andy ideas?

I'm having better luck with 7.02 as well...

Yes 7.0.2 fixes my buffer skipping issue as well

Level metters originate really HIGH CPU usage on vista........

Why that never fixed?

If you can then use AERO Grobe, it's just an imperfect workaround, but better than nothing.
