Nowadays everyone, but me, seems to have their own Ableton
And
dude, don't be so lazy, pick up your controllers yourself

Must be, this doesn't happen on OSX.

If it is Live 8 or below on Windows, it is just what he is stuck with.
If it is Live 9, my only guess is that some other software might be using the keyboard at the same time and preventing him from using it in Live, or some other weird quirk.

I'm getting this on occasion as well.
OS X Mavericks with a Faderfox LD2 set up in Live's MIDI Preferences as a Control Surface.
I don't recall if I've experienced it with the latest beta in 64-bit because I've been going through a lot of old sets made in Live 8 & updating/saving them in Live 9 -usually in the 32-bit version.
