I've been getting the ol' blue screen about every other day while using Live 7. Though I'm using it about 90% of the time I'm at my computer (which is about 8-12 hours a day) so it wouldn't be fair to immediately blame it on Live. However I'm curious if anyone else has had this problem.

XP SP2 Pro
Athlon 64 X2 Dual 4200+ 2.2G
3.2 RAM
audio interface: Focusrite Saffire 10/10\

I have 2 external and 2 internal drives...might be worthy of note that after the blue screen XP always tries running a disc check. But that hasn't fixed the problem in the past so I just skip it now.

try disconnecting the external drives. do they use firewire or usb?

I'm also getting occasional blue screens on opening Live 7.01. Never had them in 6.

Also a windows machine. Also using an external drive (USB2)
