Ableton Forum

When I open an existing .als-File, change something and save it, Live saves and then says

Cannot write c:\Documents and Settings\....\Ableton\Live 4.1\Preferences\undo.cfg

I can then click OK, when I try to quit Live, I get the usual "A program failure occured, try saving your work under another name" etc.

Anoyone else has this problem?

Hi Boulderdash,

if you try to delete the undo.cfg file manually, does this problem happen again?

No, it doesn't help.

I open a liveset, move a parameter around so undo.cfg gets some data, save the file, quit Live and there's the failure. If I start Live again it often happens that is hangs completely, doesn't play samples from the browser etc.

But: I've narrowed the failure down to a possible cause, a synth-plugin called Iblit.

Because: If I open the liveset, move the cutoff of Iblit and quit, the failure occures.

If I do something else undo-able not related to Iblig, like copying a clip, the failure does not occure.

Is this possible?

Hi Boulderdash,

yes, this is possible. Could you send me your log file ("Log.txt")? It is located in the "Preferences" folder where the undo.cfg is also located.
