Live crashes loading sets with multicore support turned on

Been having this problem since I built this PC last year. Live (not always, but regularly) crashes badly when opening a set whilst multicore support is on. There is no problem when it is turned off. So this is how I've been using it. I get by OK, but it's annoying that I'm not able to make use of my dual-core CPU. I don't have a problem in any other software.
This is my setup:
Asrock Conroe945G-DVI mobo
Core2Duo E6400 (no overclock)
2 x 512MB Corsair Value DDR2 5400
M-Audio Audiophile 2496 + M-Audio Delta 1010LT (latest drivers)
Windows XP SP2
Anyone got any ideas?

Haven't fully tested the theory yet, but I'm beginning to wonder if it might be something to do with certain plug-ins, in particular ones made with Synthedit.
Anyone else had a similar problem?

Disable 3rd plugins and try again.Maybe there is a plugin that makes live crash.

Yep, it doesn't happen with the VST folder deactivated. Now I just need to discover the plug-in that doesn't like my dual core. I bet it's one of my favourites!

Well, I think I narrowed it down to Arcdev's ET-200 delay VST, which is a favourite of mine actually.
Anyone else had a problem with this plug in Live with multicore turned on?

I've totally run into this. Sometimes, when I got a great jam going, Live will just "poof" crash, leaving nothing in its wake. When I try to recover the set from the undo history, Live will do the same thing while loading the set - poof. This means I can never recover the lost work, because I need to load live without restoring the set to turn off multicore support and then reload the last saved version of the set.
Its definitely due to a VST plugin, but I have no idea which one.
