Ableton Forum

since upgrading a number of applications (cubase sx 3.1, Melodyne 2.6, Reason 3.03), I can no longer open Live 4.1.4 in stand alone mode.
What gives? It hangs while scanning the vstplugins folders.

I have tried to remove and rename the vst folders, all to no avail. I have tried reinstalling live three times. I will probably be upgrading Live after my next project, or so, but until then I would like to continue using Live.

How can I tell live to ignore the vst folder?
Where in the registry is the key that tells live where to find the vst plugins?
help me please!

email me at [email protected],
or reply tho this
thanks in advance for your help.

try trashing your preferences. theres a few threads about the time of the beta talking about this, but it'll be somewhere like:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Ableton\Live 4.1.4\Preferences
on a PC.

Thanks for the reply I tried this so manytimes that now they are saying that I have too many attempts to authorise using my serial number. this is crazyness.

time to contact support more directly!

If you move all of your plugins, that should do the trick if it's a buggy vst plug. DId you remove everything from your vst folder? Try renaming it, then create a new empty folder with the original name.
