Ableton Forum

Hi Abletonians,

I've noticed something I didn't have with older versions of Live. After start up Live 7 does not respond to key commands like space bar>start and tab>change view. The mouse functions normally. Yes... Live is selected as the active program.
I've discovered that I can use the 'Windows' (to Windows Start menu) key and then everything functions normally. It's every time after start up. Does anyone recognise this. My computer works good and I've never had this before.

I've experienced the same problem in Live 6 and in Live 7. I've reported it as a bug to Ableton several times with the answer that they hadn't heard of such a problem and that it is probably my mouse driver. I've uninstalled my mouse driver without any luck. I am experiencing this issue rather randomly, some projects work just fine and some others don't. Anyway, I am somewhat glad to hear that I am not the only one out there, and maybe Ableton will now look into this issue. Did you email their support and report this problem? If not, please do so!
