Crashes on launch

[CLawrence]

So, I have been working with Ableton Support,and the response time has been less than desireable, and so, i have turned to you, the Ableton community for answers.

When i try to run the .exe, process fails. there is no splash screen. nothing.

I checked the error logs and found:



Faulting application name: Ableton Live 8 Beta.exe, version: 1.0.0.1, time stamp: 0x506a189b
Faulting module name: Ableton Live 8 Beta.exe, version: 1.0.0.1, time stamp: 0x506a189b

Report Id: be2722bd-2ce2-11e2-ac6e-1803732e241f


The Log file's last few lines are:

and it just ends...

I tried reinstalling the C++ 2008 Redistributable, running as administrator, reinstalling in a new user profile, and several other things, but still am experiencing the same issue.

I have tried 8.2.6, 8.3.4 , and 8.4 b8 x64.

this is a brand new Dell Precision Workstation.
System specs are:

Windows 7 Service Pack 1 [64 Bit]
Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2687W 0 @ 3.10GHz
CPU Count: '32'
Physical RAM: 64 GB
GraphicsDevice: 'NVIDIA Quadro 5000'

Any one have any ideas????

Hi,


Please send the crash report (visible in the side panel after launch) to beta@ableton.com

Did you check the application properties if you are running the app in administrator mode?

Best,
Mads
