When playing a song ableton looses contact with sound card

I run Live 6.0.7 on a PC - ASUS laptop.

Never had any problem before but after reinstalled the OS and of course Ableton and all my vst:s, Ableton suddenly looses contact (while playing a project) with the external sound card (M-adio fast track pro - USB) and everything is quiet.

Its only in the master meter the sound (activity) seams to disapear. All the other meters show activity.

I have reinstalled Live and sound card driver routines several times.

I have also deleted most of my programs, and I have inactivated most of the unnecessary hardware. I have also deleted most of the vst:s as well.

Before I reinstalled the OS I never had any problems with Live…????

Any one?

And guess what!

After deinstalling Izotope 3 (vst) I got rid of that problem. BUT....

Instead the meter goes wild and peak enormously. And it becomes quiet again.

I turn of Live and every things all right until the next time I start up Live. After a wile its the same thing again.......

Help

Turn off power management to the hubs. XP turns it on by default.

Go into device manager and right click on a USB hub to bring up properties. Under the power management tab, uncheck all boxes. Repeat for each hub and reboot. Done.
