test.pcm and testout.pcm

I have the m-audio audiophile USB and the included live delta 1.5 running on windows xp. 1 Ghz, 512 MB memory.
when I enable ASIO in live delta, the program starts writing two files test.pcm and testout.pcm on the root of my C: drive. these files keep growing without bound and eventually cause the system to crash.
How do I prevent this from happening?
Thanks in advance.

Hi pjkemp,
I don't think that there's a way to disable it from the user side. Probably just M-Audio can turn it off with a new driver.
Please see also my posting in

drivers are the problem

i managed to install the .1 drivers instead of the latest and the files are not created by that driver.
I was also able to generate the files with the cakewalk sonar demo BTW.
As a followup test I tried to record one side of an LP. Unfortunately live 1.5 hung the whole computer after about 10 minutes.
I was using low latency with the Audiophile control panel.
I have lot's of disk space > 5 GB and 512 MB memory.
I think there must be a bug in live 1.5 for long session recording..
Ableton, comments??

Hi pjkemp,
recording in version 1.5.2 was definitively less efficient as in version 2 but it should not hang the computer. To say more about that point I had to test it again in this version but I cannot guarantee to find the time.

drivers fixed but live still does not work....

so m-audio released a new driver today which fixes the ASIO debug files (*.pcm in c:|) problem.
so i merrily loaded an album on my turntable and and cranked up live delta expecting to be able to record my lp to a wav stream...
NOT!!!!!!
live promptly ate up all of 512 MB of ram and crashed my system...
so I am convinced that this s/w does not work....
is dangerous to my system's health.... and
m-audio has been hoodwinked into supplying a faulty version of s/w
all with the intent of trying to sell folks the new version of live at an unreasonable price just to get the features extolled by m-audio and abletron...
i'm not a happy customer...
any comments from the s/w guys????
