Ableton Forum

Had some initial problems getting Live to recognize all my VSTs. I got my VSTs reorganized but now Live begins to load normally and after the "creating new Live set..." message during start up, the loading screen goes away and then.... NOTHING!! I pull up my task manager and it shows live as an active proccess. I try to start Live again and I get a "Live has detected another ReWire application running..." I have removed and re-installed numerous times and updated to 5.2. Same thing happens. I thought this might be similar to a problem others have had regarding VSTs. I purchased and installed Absynth 3 on the same day I bought Live. I'm in the proccess of contacting Ableton support on this, but wanted to run it by the forum on the odd chance I could be overlooking something really obvious since I'm an IDIOT!!

Dell Dimension 3000 (Dedicated music computer, no internet connection)
Pentium 4, 2.8 Ghz
512 MB Ram
M-Audio Delta 44

Applications:

M-Audio Drum and Bass Rig

Lots of other VSTs
